Haven't blogged in a while..

I haven't blogged in a while. I keep saying I have nothing to say, but then now everything has kind of piled up so I think I'll have enough things to say to last me one entry. Hehe

Anyway, where should I start? Oh did I mention I have a new layout? I made it quite a while ago already, just a result of experimenting with photoshop. I think it's okay, very shiny. Lol. Oh and I found a new mood indicator. unkymoods. It's very cute. You can't mis and match smilies with the moods and there aren't as many choices but I still like it. I like the drawings, so cute. Heh.

[Choir Concert]
I went for the choir concert on friday. I met Shubha, Stef, Lydia and Limin at Lucky Plaza where we ordered flowers. 2m got so many choir people...bought 10 bucks worth of flowers. And in the end I couldn't find some of them so it was kind of wasted. Oh well. Anyway we met Jia En and went to eat dinner at pasta mania. Then Jia En and Stef left cause they had to usher for the concert. The rest of us went to get the flowers but then the lady took so long to wrap them all up. Well can't really blame her, we ordered about 41 flowers altogether. Heh. By the time it was done it was quite late already. So we had to rush all the way to Barker. The bus stop was quite far away so we had to take MRT to newton first then take 171. But then we were so scared we would be late we just got on 54 because some other people who were also going for the concert said that we could take. In the end we found out that we couldn't take that so we had to get off and take a taxi. What a waste of money right. Oh ooops...Shubha paid for the taxi fair and we still haven't returned her the money yet. At least I haven't. Darn I'm so broke now, and I still have to pay for the retro thing. I alrady used up for chinese camp and for the teachers day thing. Argh I need to find a way to make money...I'm always so broke no matter how hard I try to save. So anyway the choir concert was really good. Great job choir people! Haha..after the concert we had to go around finding everyone to give them their flowers. My sis came with her friend and they were supposed to fetch me back but then I told them to go back first cause I was busy looking for everyone. In the end Shubha fetched me home..heh thanks Shubha.

[Sunday]
Sunday was my sister's birthday celebration. Her birthday is actually this sunday, but then last sunday was a more convenient time to celebrate. My sis invited two of her friends and we went for lunch and watch How to Deal. I don't think the movie was that great. Mandy Moore can act well, but the whole story was so...I dunno. I just don't like it. It's kinda sick, like crossroads. Anyway, I don't think it's worth watching, unless you aren't going to pay for it.

[Sleep deprived]
I've been really really sleepy this week. You know why? Cause I've only been getting 4 and a half hours of sleep every night. Because of all those stupid tests and projects. Especially the science PPT. But it seems I rushed everything for nothing. We haven't even presented it yet, something keeps comig up so we have no time to. Stupid teachers, don't know how to organise one. They just any how stuff everything into one week. So stressful. I'm supposed to have 8 hours of sleep every day. No wonder I'm so short. Not enough sleep. -__-

[Yesterday]
Yesterday was sec 4 farewell party for MRC. We had to pay but then there was quite a lot of food. I made the most of my and ate as much as I could. Haha..so singaporean. Oh and then when I was leaving the computer lab after signing attendence...I was talking to Wai San and Ee Lin so I was just leaning my back against the door and pushing it open when Mr Tan suddenly pulled the door open from the other side. I practically fell into him...lucky I managed to balance myself. Give me such a shock.... Mr Tan so fierce some more.

[Today]
Today is the free-est I have been in a long time. True, there's a science and math test tomorrow. But I think I'm okay for math and science I'm just going to read through cause the test is mostly MCQ. The other classes say it's really easy but I don't know...We were supposed to take today but then we couldn't get into the asknlearn eduservice thing. I'm kind of glad. I spent most of yesterday studying geography so I didn't have much time to look through science. Speaking of geography, the test todayw as really easy. But then again whenever I think that a test is easy I always do badly for it. Oh well.

Yay, I finally fixed my glasses! Haha, I've been walking around the pass 3 days with one of the screws loose. I had to scotch tape it back on and it was so fragile. I felt like it was going to drop of any second. Lol..anyway I got it fixed for free. After all it's just screwing on a screw right.

Should go now. Study a bit before charmed.

English Oral

English oral was okay I guess...all about toys. Lol, the teacher kept asking me stupid questions about my stuffed toys. Cause the question was what was your favourite toy when you were growing up and then we just started talking about stuffed toys...haha so different from last year. Last year was something about helping disabled people and I made up a whole lot of crap. The reading was okay but the picture description was kinda bad...Cause there were five children lying on the floor and I couldn't tell who were the boys and who were the girls. -_- At first I thought they were all boys...but then when I was waiting for my turn I kept hearing people say she...and I got so confused cause I didn't know whether to say he or she. So I kept on stopping to "examine" the kids to see if they were boy or girl. Lol...so stupid. Sigh, but overall I think it was pretty okay. At least we didn't get some really really strict teacher, the class in front of us (2e) got SooC...really pity them. Oh you know I woke up at 7:20? And I was supposed to get there by 7:25. I can't believe I overslept again! And I set two alarm clocks...argh last year I overslept too but it was much much worse. I think I was about half an hour late. I ran all the way to the bus stop and took the first bus that came, got off and rushed all the way up to the AVA room. Guess what I was just in time for my turn! Really close shave...hope I don't oversleep again next year. I think I'll set 3 alarm clocks..

I really shouldn't be online. So many projects to do, I've hardly started yet. And I have to study for science, if n ot later it become like the chinese. *shudder* I slacked so much today...hardly touched any of my books. Busy making new layout. Heh, I finished making it already, it's actually the result of me messing around and experimenting with photoshop. But it came out quite okay lar, I think I'll put it up the next time I update.

Well I've got to keep this entry short...so many projects! And they all require so much research. I really suck and searching stuff...sigh.

Oh and see my new blinkie I made! Heh, thanks Claire for teaching me how to animate in photoshop elements...ah! Why am I still online? Sigh, and I wonder why I'm always rushing to finish projects.

Chinese was baaaad

I haven't posted in quite a while..I don't really know why. I think it's because when I have something to blog about I'm not using the computer but when I get online I suddenly have nothing to say.

I think I'm going to fail chinese. It's so stupid, why must they test us for poems? Spend all my time studying the poems..in the end cannot study as hard for everything else. It's such a waste of time, just like the last test where they tested us on the neck..this kind of thing also want to test. As if it's of any use to us. And the cloze passage and comprehension was so hard. Then again they're always hard for me. -_- And Laoshi didn't even give us one full hour...cause we were taking it during the CME period. Then we had life science before that so by the time we got back and settled down I think about ten minutes were gone already. And then I didn't have time to finish the last 1 and a half questions for the compre. And I didn't get to check through either. Sigh better not talk about this anymore, so depressing.

Today Mrs Chen made us change seats...and I was moved to the seat that's right at the door. It's not that bad...but then I was hoping to sit somewhere further back. Then again my last seat was practically right in front of the teacher, so I can't really complain. Oh I just realised I'm not under the fan anymore. Hmph...unfair.

Oh guess what? We're finally done with touch rugby! Yay!! Lol..we're doing volley ball next. It has to be better than touch rugby right... better than running 1 metre... getting tagged... starting all over again. Arhg...got English oral tomorrow. I have to wake up at 7 again. How do they expect us to think so early on a saturday morning? Saturday morning's are meant for sleeping in. I hope the picture isn't too hard. Some of the practices we did during English were so hard. I couldn't even figure out what was going on in the picture. And sometimes it just showed to people sitting ther doing nothing. And the question goes "What do you think they are doing?" It's so crappy right...

Sigh, I have to do this stupid "Save the Earth" powerpoint thing for the broadcast system thing. So annoying..when Mrs Chen asked "Who's good at powerpoint?" Everyone just said my name automatically. I mean, is powerpoint that hard? It's not like you have to be really pro at it and know what every single button does right? They should choose someone who's good at choosing colour combinations. I tell you, my colour combinations all suck. So don't blame me if it turns out really ugly >_<

Oh...check out these people with new layouts. Some are kind of late but never mind...better late than never right?
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Ahhhhh...so many projects. And of course I'm leaving everything till the last minute. Sigh, I guess I'd better get started...even though it's 11:30 already..

Founders Day

Today was founders day...the marching was okay though we had to stand for long periods of time while waiting for the guest of honour to arrive. Why can't he arrive earlier? So inconsiderate..haha, just joking. Anyway after the marching we went to the chapel to watch the service. It was freezing cold, lucky I brought by jacket. I wore it most of the time but then I saw how cold Jia En and everyone else was and I felt so bad cause there were like 3 people trying to share 1 jacket..lol..so I gave my jacket to Jia En. Hehe. Anyway...the service wasn't that long, so I didn't freeze to death. And then after the service I went back to class...and I wanted to go out, but then everyone wasn't free, so I decided to go home. But then when I was walking out, I saw Janice, then she was waiting for the school bus to come at 12, then I told her to go out with me. Then she said she ws supposed to go junction 8 with Deborah but then we couldn't find her so we assumed she went home already. We decided to go Junction 8 cause it's conveneint for her and it's 1 direct bus for me. At the bus stop we met her friend and she joined us too. Then I also saw Tracy...it was so funny cause the whole day I kept seeing her..I mean after the service when I was walking around, I saw her when I was going downstairs...upstairs...downstairs again, and again when I was passing the phone. So anyway, we took the bus and then when we changed at Macritchie and we were waiting for the bus to come Deborah suddenly got off another bus. Haha, so coincidental..and lucky also, if we had left 5 minutes earlier we wouldn't have seen her at all. So we all went to junction 8 together.

When we got there we went to eat at Macdonalds. I ordered a cheese burger happy meal and there was this really weird giraffe toy that came with it. Lol, I think the lady was laughing at me when she asked me which toy I wanted. Well Janice and I were laughing too anyway. When we were eating this really cute small boy came in with his grandparents (I think) and then they also ordered happy meal. Then the boy was eating a nugget and he wanted tomato sauce with it, then when he asked his grandfather the grandfather told him to go and take himself. Then at first he was really shy and he didn't go then after a while he went and he said really loudly "Auntie I want tomato sauce" Then once he got it he immediately ran back to the table smiling away. Haha. Very cute.

Anyway...after that we just walked arond and window shopped. I bought an OP wallet. I don't know what I was thinking...it was dollars...guess all that saving paid off. Heh. And I wanted a new wallet cause my other one was so big and so hard to fit into the uniform pocket. Sigh, spent so much today...about altogether...that's about 2 weeks worth of allowance. Must start saving again...

Tomorrow...I might be going to watch Lizzie Mcguire with Claire (Yow). If her mum allows. I hope so, I really want to watch it lol. I feel kinda bad though cause I'm supposed to watch it with Rach...but then she's always so busy. Oh well, can just watch it again right. So much for saving money. >_< I'm going to write about something just to get my feelings out...you all won't understand it so I suggest you all just skip the next paragraph.

ToYou:
Do you know that you're so ungrateful...I've already done so much for you, yet you can't even appreciate it one bit. You can't even be nice to me. A simple thank you would be nice once in a while. You've changed so much this year, it's like I barely know you anymore. All you care about nowadays is yourself, I hate the way you just treat people like you're their master or something. I hate the way you think you own the whole world. It's just so frustrating to see you change from being so sweet to what you are now. But I can't do anything about it can I, only you can, but if I told you what I think you'd probably just start crying or hate me more than you already seem to. You just look down on me all the time don't you. Well you know what, I don't care anymore. I guess I'll just stop trying to make you act nice when clearly that's impossible

Nothing Much

I just had pancakes for breakfast. My first time making them, and they were quite good, I only flipped one wrongly..heh. I have to give credit to my sister for mixing it for me. Mix until got no lumps. Lol.

Yesterday was racial harmony day. My class had to miss the first one hour because of stupid life sciences. At least we didn't miss the song writing part. The classes were quite good but I think that some of their voices were drowned out by the instruments so we couldn't hear what they were singing.

Anyway...I stayed back after that because my maid was coming to fetch my sister and I didn't want to risk being locked out. Good thing Shubha and Lydia were staying back too. Shubha because her sister was staying back for touch typing (touch typing at p1? riight..) and Lydia was just waiting with Shubha. We went for lunch and Amanda and Rachael joined us...after we ate we started talking about teachers. About all the horrible and hilarious stuff they've done. Lol. Like last year when Miss Sharon Tan was pointing at the transparency and started drawing on the screen. And when last year the guy that took over Mrs Gasper tried to grab the screen when the transparency was blown off the OHP. (That came from Shubha). And we also talked about all the horrible stuff that they do. Like Mrs Sim and all her unfair scoldings. Haha, it was quite funny remembering all this stuff. I don't mean to embarrass teachers by posting all this up here..well maybe I do. Hehehe. I was thinking yesterday that maybe we should start bringing video cameras and video tape teachers doing all this stuff. Like that RJC boy. Haha..just kidding.

My sister's going for that ndp rehearsal thing. Like we went in p5 too...she gets to go to kallang. We had to go to the Padang. Heh. Anyway they have to wear this red colour giodarno t-shirt that says i love singapore over and over again in circles. If you get what I mean. My point is...I don't remember getting a t-shirt when we went for it. Haha.

Anyway..have to stop now, cause x-men evolution's starting in 10 minutes.

I'm Lil, who are you? by Dru & Lexi

History test tomorrow

I'm in the science lab now, we're supposed to be researching on harmful gases. I don't think anyone is. Lol...but that's not very surprising right.

There's a history test tomorrow, and I've hardl started studying yet. I'm so dead...at least it's only 1 and a half chapters. Actually I checked yesterday and I think it's closer to 1 and three quarters than 1 and a half. Cause in chapter 11 there's only about 3 pages more that isn't going to be tested. Oh well, I shall think of it as 1 and a half. Seems less that way.

Yesterday's swim meet was ok...thought RGS did beat us :( At first it was really really hot and the cheering people kept telling us how pathetic we were...lol...but I don't think we were, screamed quite a lot. Heh. And then it started raining and almost everybody got wet. And 2m was sitting right in front so we took a while to get to the shelter. And my books got all wet..luckily I only brought back history and chinese. Anyway I took the bus back...by the time I reached home it was already 6:45 p.m. And I had tuition at 7:30. So I had to bathe and eat dinner in 15 minutes because my dad had to go to work and wanted to leave earlier. When I got home from tuition I watched 10 thing I hate about you. It's a nice show, watched it at Yo's house last year...but I felt really guilty cause I should have been studying for my history test tomorrow. But was feeling too tired and I wasn't really in the mood to study.

I'm so disappointed, I falied ting xie and I actually studied for it. So frustrating. Maybe it's just the way I study that sucks. I just write out over and over again until I remember. I guess during ting xie my mind just blanks out. Sigh.

Schooool...

Sigh, we're back to having normal assembly again. So troublesome, everyday have to rush downstairs and stand there all stuffy and hot while not really listening to announcements. Oh well...and we're back to having normal chapel too. That's okay though. After chapel had to go and do that survey thing. It was pretty dumb. Basically just asking if we were proud of our country. I don't think I did it that honestly...I just put a lot of agrees and don't knows.

Chinese oral was okay I guess. I hope I pass, last year I got 17. Hopefully I get better than that this year. My passage reading was really lousy, I kept forgetting what all the words were and I had to keep pausing to remember what they are. And the conversation was bad too. I kept going um so many times. Practically at the end of every sentence. At least I understood what the teacher said.

History test's on Thursday. All the tests are starting to come again. And I'm not in the mood to study at all. And there are so many projects...especially for lit. Oh and tomorrow have to go to Toa Payo to support the swim team or something. I'm not very sure how to go home from there...guess I'll just follow someone who lives near me..This week seems so long. I can't wait for the weekend. Must be optimistic...only 4 more days till the weekend. Yay.

I wonder if Mrs Gasper knows how boring she is. Really. She can just sit there and go on and on and on and doesn't even notice me falling asleep right in front of her. I honestly have such a hard time trying to stay awake in her class. Everytime she tells us to do the workbook I just write some crap in 5 minutes and fall asleep right away. Lol. Maybe I should sleep earlier the night before...

I think I'll keep this entry short. I don't really have much to say and I'm probably boring all of you already.
