I got my leotard yesterday! Feels weird, and you have to SQUEEEZE through the hole to wear in because its supposed to be TIGHT. It was ok-ly tight, since they're all made to be ohsoprecisely fitting to our unique body shape blah blah blah. Claudia was having the hardest time getting used to it and she went: I'm gonna change back!! and took her tank top and tights and MARCHED towards the stage but Cheryl forced her to come back. Ahha Claudia is funny. There was some ORA dinner and the balloon-pumper people gave all us gymmers free BALLOONS!!!! Even the lao shis wanted them and they were admiring how pretty the balloon decos would look in their living rooms. Hilarious. Like that time dajiti mentioned shopping and dao lao shi's eyes LIT UP. That's what Gladys said, anyways, I wasn't looking at dao lao shi that time.

Oh yeah and my mom SCREAMED when she saw me wearing my leotard. I don't think she ever saw a leotard this fancy before. Hahas

Week 3 is gonna be a horribly busy week. Argh.

#1 Maths PT to hand in.
Oh mannnnnnnnnnn. I'm gonna flunk. Mrs Chia gave feedback to the draft and 90% of the stuff needs improvement. I hate PTs. I really do.

#2 Chinese SA
Hmm, not too bad. SAs are more bearable.

#3 GYM COMPETITION!!!!
I just hope I don't get tangled in the middle of my kua tiao guo sheng again. *shudders* OK that would be horrible.
There's the good side to #3 too.
Tuesday: Excused from class at 11am
Thursday: Excused from a whole day of school
Friday: ??? Kinda forgot. Me blur.

OK I shan't complain too much cos the upper sec people have it even worse. Eeps poor them.

Oh yeah and go read the environment blog ok? I just posted :D

http://www.enemies-of-dust-bunnies.blogspot.com

Second time we blew ce yan. I even DIDN'T do one nan du. One WHOLE nan du. I think dailaoshi has given up on us. Can't blame her, really. Until now, the routine is still NOT qi, ZERO zi tai and just really messy. We SO need practice.

And my seniors (and Cailyn and WenJun) were so sweet! They were cheering us the whole time even though we were screwing everything up real badly. And Cheryl Christine and Hazel also helped us practise later and you know, I think we actually learn MUCH faster with them teaching. <3333333

Today Lynn and I went on a quest to buy SOCKS!!! Here's how the journey of a thousand years went:
Me: I wanna go buy socks!
Lynn: Yeah I wanna buy too!
I pick up my wallet and head to the door. Lynn starts talking about the Tessa your Asset thing and writes her name on the board backwards. We totally forget about our mission and everyone starts trying out writing their name on the board too! Totally what Ms Picca would call digressing. Or is it diggressing? Whatever.
Soon the poor whiteboard is covered with this:
Lynn=Nnyl (Ny-yl)
Jasmine=Enimsaj (En-neem-sarge)
Joanne=Ennaoj (En-na-oj)
Charmaine=Eniamrahc (En-niem-rac)
Ting Wei= Iewgnit (Unique)
[btw, the word in the brackets is the pronounciation, and Ting Wei thinks because her Iewgnit is pronounced unique so she is unique!]

10 minutes later:
Me:(suddenly remembers mission) Erm, can we go get our socks?
So Lynn and I set off on our long journey to the PB room, on the way, when suddenly, we see... a KILLER BUG ahead.
Lynn: And I shall slay thy evil weird buggish thing!
( Takes out sword and kills the bug heroically.)
Nope, that's not what happened. All we did was run past. (Unheroically) And nope, Lynn doesn't own a sword. So anyways at the koi pond, we meet Mr Lau and Lynn tells him about the report books still in class and we turn back to take the report books from class(passing the killer bug again).

Back where we started
Ting Wei : Ello Mr Lau!
Me: Ting Wei said Ello
Ting Wei: No, I said Hello
Mr Lau starts trying to remember which cartoon Ello came from.
Mr Lau: Tellytubbies!
Me: No, Tellytubbies go Eh-oh!
Ting Wei: I used to sing that song to go to sleep
Lynn: Again! Again!
Me: Oh I hate that one.
After all the Tellytubby talk, me and Lynn take report books and walk to the koi pond (Again!) and go up to the staffroom where Mr. Lau takes over the report book-carrying. (And the killer bug was gone then!)

After finally buying the socks and returning to class:
Me: Our quest for socks!
Lynn: Is COMPLETE!

The end of the long long quest to buy socks :)

My crazy little sis DONG is driving me nuts with her Almanac. She's reciting facts about asian countries like she's gonna be on some sort of game show or something.

First time she recited her favourite 'densely populated country' fact:
Dong: Did you know that Monaco is the most densely populated country in the world?
Me: Ok.
Second time:
Dong: Did you know that Monaco is the most densely populated country in the world?
Me: Yeah.
Third to millionth time:
Dong: Did you know that Monaco is the most densely populated country in the world?
Me: Whatever.
Million and one time:
Dong: Did you know that Monaco is the most densely populated country in the world?
Me: (screams) AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Josh: What is your bucket doing on top of my door?
Megan: Well what was your door doing under my bucket?

(Guy drumming to audition for Drake's band)
Drake: Dude that was good! Could you do that a little more up-tempo?
Guy: (yelling) You called me fat?! ARH!!!!!
(Guy punches hole in the wall)

Josh: ...and then she asked me to remove all the green gummy bears, then she suggested I do some sit-ups!
Drake: That's ridiculous
Josh: Yeah it is!
Drake: Who doesn't like green gummy bears?

Drake and Josh jokes are so funny and random :D

Lalalala I'm back! :D Missed me, xiaojiti? Haha kidding kidding.


Parkroyal penang ROCKS ok? Esp. the water sports. I tried banana boating, jet skiing and parasailing. The beach is supposed to be like super duper there but I don't see what's so great about it. Quite ordinary, but 100000000 times better than Sembawang beach, that's for sure

And over the 2 weeks of holidays, I have developed severe brain rot and homework phobia. I have the following homework NOT completed:
1. With Great Pressure(as quoted from dear AUDREY)
2. 1/2 of Maths PT individual
3. A few fake Lit journals that I have to write
4. A few lit and eng worksheets to file
Gotta buck up on homeworking.

Here I am in Penang.
It's pretty much the same every time I come here. All we do apart from eating and sleeping (a lot) is:
1. Shop
2. Play com
3. Math PT
4. Stone
Oh man when I go back to Spore I have got a LOT of catching up to do cos I haven't started on With Great Agony (as quoted from dear LYNN) yet. Die die. Oh well at least there's a com here so I can force myself to do Math PT. Oh no D&T not yet touched and my wire mesh in still in my desk in RGS J101.
ARGHs once again.

I miss rblading like loads and loads and loads. Last year after PSLE the LEGENDS and I went like every non-raining day. And now we are flooded with so much homework we haven't gone since, jan or feb?

JASMINE WANTS A SWEET ESCAPE

Another sweaty training today, and the last one till next fri cos tomorrow till next wed i'm gonna be in Penang against my own will
Today dailaoshi concluded our last attempt to do the routine smoothly like that (translated) : that was horrible. And then she added : but it was an improvement. Ohno ohno ohno. Why us? Why us little inexperienced sec 1s going to face the sec 2s of IJTP and SMGS and the sec 1-former-p6-gymmers of SNGS??? We are trying our best but the task of clinching at least 3rd is really DAUNTING.

help

Trial tuition today with Pheebs and BS. The teacher is very nice lah, I don't mind changing tuition except for the guilt I get when my Mom tells my old teacher she's not wanted. :( Yep, my Mom is like ultra fussy when it comes to tuition cos she wants the best tuition that can be found. Not that she shouldn't but I feel real guilty that we keep firing and hiring teachers.
Pheebs was like ultra gong! She just sat there and looked blur and sleepy haha. Well, maybe she's right. Maybe she should be Patrick instead of Mrs Puff cos she is as GONG as patrick! MUAHAHAHAHA. Dong was really bored that day and decided to give us Spongebob Squarepants nicks and she labelled me as PATRICK. Bebe ended up MRS PUFF. Leko became SPONGEBOB and Dong is PEARL. Haha that is so random.
After tuition Pheebs and Leko came to my house and we had a TEA PARTY! Okay, not that sort of TEA party with china teacups etc. etc. etc. but a party where you eat cakes and the tea part comes in cos we were drinking yeo's chrysanthemum tea. Afterwards we just did randomer stuff like cushion fighting and well, here I am, blogging. :D

Let me tell a TRUE STORY
Once there was a woman whose rabbit given birth to 6 baby bunnies
This was obviously bad news because she went around the whole neighbourhood telling all the aunties the story of how her husband was angry cos he didn't want to keep so many baby rabbits (they already had 3) and she doesn't know what to do.
One particular aunty was very helpful indeed, and she decided to help find people who could adopt the rabbits. She managed to find 5 potential owners. Yay problem solved :D :D :D
We all expect this woman to be happy and grateful, don't we?
Well surprise, surprise, she wasn't. She didn't even want to give the rabbits away, all because of this lousy selfish reason:
Betting on the rabbits' birthday won her some 4D money
Terrific, huh? One day she's sobbing at your doorstep begging for help, the next she doesn't need your help.
Tsk. Tsk.

I have training at HENRY PARK PRIMARY tomorrow! (Gasp!) Cool, now I can see how big the gym is.
RGS has this problem: too many CCAs, too little space. It's not like the school is too small or anything cos I've seen smaller schools (but it's not very big either). It's just that sometimes we have like NOWHERE to train properly and end up in the drama room, esp since it's SYF year and all the performing arts are real busy
Not that it's their fault, I mean, even on normal training days we only have that dance studio aka gym cos the CCAB sorta kicked us out end of last year for some reason yeah. I don't mind training there actually, even if we do have to take bus/taxi after school.

Poem Ms Picca used to describe 101!
The Bagel
David Ignatow
I stopped to pick up the bagel
rolling away in the wind,
annoyed with myself
for having dropped it
as if it were a portent.
Faster and faster it rolled,
with me running after it
bent low, gritting my teeth,
and I found myself doubled over
and rolling down the street
head over heels, one complete somersault
after another like a bagel
and strangely happy with myself.
Ms Picca says that she picked this poem for 101 and 103 cos we are similar in the way that we are both lively classes. Yay! ENTHU's the word!

Crazy-Simple Plan (taken from www.letssingit.com)

Tell me what’s wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Young girls dying to be on TV
Won’t stop 'til they’ve reached their dreams
Diet pills, surgery
Photoshoped pictures in magazines
Telling them how they should be
It doesn’t make sense to me
Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what’s going on?
Tell me what’s going on
If you open your eyes
You’ll see that something is wrong
I guess things are not how they used to be
There’s no more normal families
Parents act like enemies
Making kids feel like it’s World War III
No one cares, no one’s there
I guess we’re all just too damn busy
And money’s our first priority
It doesn’t make sense to me
Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what’s going on?
Tell me what’s going on
If you open your eyes
You’ll see that something is wrong
Is everybody going crazy?
Is everybody going crazy?
Tell me what’s wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Rich guys driving big SUV’s
While kids are starving in the streets
No one cares
No one likes to share
I guess life's unfair
Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what’s going on?
Tell me what’s going on
If you open your eyes
You’ll see that something
something is wrong
Is everybody going crazy?
Can anybody tell me what’s going on?
Tell me what’s going on
If you open your eyes
You’ll see that something is wrong

Just today, after open house, I was drinking a milo outside NTUC at toa payoh central, and there were these people asking for donations.
I saw that 9 out of 10 people just completely ignored them and walked on.
What is wrong with these people? What is wrong with the world?
I'm really digusted.
There are people out there who need money more than you do.
There are people who are sick, there are people who are starving out there, there are jobless people.
The least you could do is make a donation. Why don't you just stop and think, why NOT help someone in need? Erm, it's called COMPASSION. Try it.

One more school day till the June hols.
Not really looking forward to it actually.
Just not in the mood for the hols.
Mr Wong is not teaching us anymore.
We had a farewell party today.
I was kinda sad actually.
He was a nice teacher.
Only sometimes 101 gets really talkative during Chi and I can't really hear him.
The day we heard about him leaving, he just wrote 最后一周 on the board and Alanna said :"老师，你要退休了啊?"
And he nodded.
101 was more quiet than usual that lesson.
I guess we're all gonna miss him.

101 did great for spring cleaning today!
Really, I see the class is a LOT cleaner.
Good work guys, keep up the enthusiasm!
Did I mention how PROUD I am to be in 101?
We were like the FIRST class to get the house spirit going.
I remember, one of the first house pracs, when we were doing Always Striving, 101 cheered so loud that Becky made us stop for a while so that they could hear 106 and 111's individual loudness.
And during orientation camp, we really were one of the loudest that day in the canteen during lunch when we were playing bomb, I remember.
So proud to be a 101 ian.
<3>

Today I realised I sent 2 marks down the longkang during SPA
"Deduce whether substances A and B are acidic or alkaline"
There was the litmus paper, screaming out " USE ME!"
But did I notice it? Oh no, I was just too blur to realise that this was SPA, not a theory test, and I didn't need to look through the whole worksheet to deduce what A and B were when I could just get a sheet of those red and blue papers to tell me the answer.
So I looked through the whole worksheeet to deduce what A and B were.
And guess what, I got both wrong.
Why can't they invent talking litmus paper??

I just came back from training at the CCAB!
Quite slacky lah, today.
Only 2 hours cos there was some misunderstanding. Tang laoshi said 7 30 to 9 so we thought, okay training ends at 9
Actually after that we still had training normal time 9 to 12 but then everyone already told their parents training ends at 9 so they had to go home.
Quite wasted lah, training only 1 and a half hours then go home
Oh well

The bad news:
My lousy results are, well, lousy.
The good news:
I'M GETTING A GYM JACKET!!!!
Yay I <3 gym more and more!

ORA family day!
Publicizing:
Ran around the school begging peopleg people to buy tickets to the performance.
Pauline and LiMei were waving their ribbons and running from the KS Chee to the spiral staircase and several of us stood at the top and yelled SUPPORT RHYTHMIC GYM!!! to the people below and they just erm, looked amused.
PA stuff:
Me and TingFang and Claudia and Sarah were doing the PA stuff at the control room above.
The first performance we really screwed.
At the first track, there was a song dedication to Ada from her mother and the song started blasting in the control room so we couldn't hear when to press stop so me and Sarah ran to the Hadley booth and told the capt to turn off the songs in the control room and they did. Thank you Hadley!!!
And during the starting of the Dajiti routine song, the volume was too soft so we thought the song wasn't on and we panicked.
Then when we finally figured out the prob and restarted the song the poor Dajiti has been in the starting position for really long already. Sorry!
The other performances were ok. Performances awesome as usual.
Training:
After ORA then there was training from 2 to 5 and we had to shoo some RJC people out of the hall and mop some of the hall floor cos we didn't want the mats to be dirty.
Lao shi made us do paos while she was teaching the dan rens and we paoed and paoed until we were like paoing machines and poor Claudia had to say: Ready, one two three go! like a gazillion times.
After all the packing, Cheryl decided to bring us on a GYM FIELD TRIP!!!


To class 304.
Oh and Ms Koh gave us this chewing gum from China and Cheryl didn't know what to do with it so she gave it to me and I'm gonna bring it every training cos it's for the whole R Gym!
Let's see how long it will last.
Then I went to watch Spiderman at 9 15 with Lek, Dong, BS and Louis when I was already only half awake and VERY VERY grumpy.
Everyone thinks Harry is HOT.
And this sounds really gross, but I agree!
Too bad he dies in the end.

Yepp, the date, time, and the words to click on to navigate.
So I made the post black agai post black again, and everything was finerything was fine.]

MARKING DAY
The traditional games were ok lar. Quite fun. :D
Playing chaptek made me feel like a serious bimb, cos I'm like using altitude leg to kick and half the time I miss.
This altitude leg thing has got to stop. It's now a habit.
That time in gym, we were learning the straight leg in front back leg bent thingy and my very un-cooperative left leg just kept doing altitude, altitude, altitude.
Blahs.
Ok anyways back to traditional games.
Zero point was ultra weird and I just couldn't get how they jump the erm, Sally Jump
WuWei was really pro lah, and she redeemed me after I died in the shoulder stage.
Still quite fun
Yeah ok after the games we sat through, like, 4 talks (with a recess in between 2 and 2)
Mr whats-his-name was really 'what' during his ORA safety evac talk lah!
"I overheard some (school which shall remain unnamed) guys saying ' i heard the sec 1s very nice! let's go!' "
Yeah okayyy, I thought the sec 1s were supposed to be the geeks!
And in the sun protection talk, I heard some poor sec 3s suffered horrible sunburns in OBS and we are actually allowed to put on sunblock and wear caps and sunglasses during PE!
Everyone went like, Really meh? How come we don't know?
But anyways I hate wearing caps
The school day ended ok, I went to Far East to eat and after that everyone went to watch S.M.3. but I didn't cos of piano :(
Which was later postponed to 7 without me knowing
ARGH!

NO MORE SAs
Yay yay it's hello to slackville from today till monday!
Tomorrow we are playing traditional games
I totally reek at chaptek (is that how to spell it?)
I remember last year Mdm Toh sang this weird song about chaptek and got some people to kick chaptek around on the stage while she was singing
Actually I found watching my classmates scurrying on the stage to pick up those dumb feathered paperweight-ish things more entertaining than the song(which, hmm was actually a poem)

I'm going back to SPS on MONDAY!
Well, actually I was a really lousy senior in primary school so I only know one of the 2007 6A people
Liyanna issanna issit? I'm not sure how to spell her name.
Hmm anyways my juniors don't speak to me
Bleah I really really hate being ignored
Which is why next year I'm gonna be as nice as how nice my seniors were this year to my juniors!
I'm gonna memorize all the names of my gym juniors and write to my mortal a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot
And me and TingFang are gonna give our gym juniors batch pressies!!!
Can't wait to be sec 2
I just hope I'll still be in this school

Yeah, MYAs went horribly
Sigh.
It was actually the first time I actually studied so hard for exams
Cos in primary school I was like, ho hum, another exam. Sure pass one lah got what to study?
Observe the slack attitude.
A note to everyone: DON'T BE AS SLACKY AS I WAS!
I did study for chinese cos it was the die-die-never-get-90-MdmToh-sure-kill-me subject
Well anyways I studied and mugged a lot this time(yay me!) but the exams were still DIFFICULT except for history cos it was like, mo xie
Oh no I am so dead I am so dead
