Guess who's back? Ahh this sentence is getting old.

Anyways genting was ok, not exceptionally fun, but ok. It's partially my fault because for some reason i decided to be super-emo those few days and i was like
h
g
i
h

then

l
o
w

and ah well i found the flashing lights all over the place in the indoor theme park both annoying and depressing. Annoying because they were FLASHING LIGHTS and depressing because, like the CMPS people say, they were SUCKING loads of electricity away. Nerd was super annoyed with me for being such a wet blanket on the first day, going : I feel so emo man! and whining and everything. I mean me, not Nerd.

And during the trip, i found out that i have a fear of _____. Maybe it comes with being in a girl's school. AND i also found out that i feel insecure when
#1 I'm walking first in the line
#2 I'm not holding anything
#3 My hair is not tied up and i'm not at home, even when my hair is neat
#4 I'm wearing that pink sweater i wore at PSLTC. Funny how i felt ok then, but not now.
I don't think there's anything seriously wrong with me though, i don't go nut when i'm not holding anything, i just don't feel safe. Maybe like how high S people need security all the time.

This is if i start blabbing about DISC stuff again. When i took the DISC test i was like OHWOW so fascinated so i guess i have to at least explain what i talk about to people who didn't take the test before because i think you're gonna have to bear a lot more of that stuff.
DISC are different personality styles and the DISC test shows you an analysis of your personality. I took one at I.O. and another more detailed one at PSLTC. Nerd took one just today for some career guidance thingy.
D= Dominant, direct, decisive
I= Influential, interactive, interested in people
S= Steady, stable, secure
C= Correct, controlled, compliant
Guess what i am!

12th of november= baking for the children's home
12th of november= facilitating foreign scholar's orientation
12th of november= i won't be able to attend both of the above because i have to go to genting
RAWR
Somehow i just don't wanna go to genting this year anymore. And i don't know why. :(

PSB is love

Someone's back from PSLTC! And it was superduperly fun and enriching. :D

First of all, i just want to apologise to all the peeple i tried to (key word: tried to. meaning not necessarily succeeding in) comfort after the EYAs. Because during the counseling training, Ms Rona Tan was telling us about how NOT to counsel, and i am very sorry to say that i have done a lot of those stuff, eg. talking more than the counsel-ee. Yupp so sorry if any of you guys feel worse after my 'counseling sessions'. I'm really really sorry.

Ok back to PSLTC. Like i said, it was really fun and i still got to learn new stuff. AND i got to make lots and lots of friends! Like my SHIPMATES:

Ship Ahoy

Brenda is the high D in the ship, so she volunteers a lot and lots of times she takes the lead and she is not shy to contribute to the ship! And she sings canto opera really well too!

ChewLin was the sensiblest and sanest person left after SerYee and Sam left. And she is a great emo-er during the performance. "And you, you're just a bimbo!"

Desiree was kinda not feeling well, but she still contributed loads to the ship during the camp and she always has ideas! And she was both insane and sane, and it's really hard to strike a balance between the two, you know!

Janne is nice and very obsessed with Violet! " If only Violet were here, she'll know what to do!" Just kidding, not really, that was just part of our concert item. And her name is super cute. [JAN-NE] Just like her!

JiaYing is very funny esp when there's Nadia or the red crossers around. No offense, i just found you guys really cute when you all greet her :) Not including Nadia, cos Nadia doesn't greet her.

Samantha is very sweet and nice and also a lil' bit shy. And even though she didn't take the DISC test, we think she's a C so yes, we need extremely sane people in the ship like her too!

SerYee, the poor girl was not here for part 2 but after meeting her during part 1 i got to know her as a quiet girl but also very nice!

Ah so that's about it, my wunderful shipmates in a nut shell, but no ship's complete without
Facils
and the ones that are in this particular ship happen to be

Becca is super nice and i think the white specs make her look very cute and now whenever i think of her my brain associates her with GREEN shorts haha. And she taught us the beep-beebep-beep-beep little game!

MeiJia, the funny girl who loves food but is super thin! And she hate hugs, bad move telling us that, because we decided to force her into a group hug during initiation and unfortunately for her she wasn't armed with a badge to poke us with. And she draws well too!

Sharon is superhuman to be able to be the camp commander but still pay us the attention we need. I think she'll make a fantabulous RICHARD capt cos she's so nice! And she's both sensible and funny!

And there are many other PSLs who i have made friends with like duh, and they are all super nice and without them, camp wouldn't be fun, because what camp where there are no people be any fun right? Thanks for being great PSB erm mates! And MOST MOST importantly we have to thank our wunderful SPSLs for organising this camp!!! And Ms Rona Tan for training us in very important stuff that if i had not learnt i would cause a lot of damage to my sec 1 class. (yikes!)

Thanks to JeanHui's tuition teacher's squash toilet story, now whenever i go to any toilet, i drag my sister along to stand outside. Haha no just kidding, but i get this creepy feeling whenever i go to a room with a mirror in it. ~.~

Can't wait for reporting day!

If my blog could talk, this is what it'd say:

What is my purpose of my existence in this world man? Apparantly i'm supposed to be a thing for my creator to use to tell other people stuff, but oh yes guess what, my %&!*&^ creator updates me like, once in a thousand years? And even when she does update me, most of the time the stuff written on me is rubbish. Like this post. Because in case you haven't already guessed, she has no idea what to blog about so here she is pretending to know what i'm thinking. Whatevverrr.

Ok so it's MY TURN to talk.

#1
Last week of school.
I don't wanna be sec 2! I wanna stay in 101. I hear in sec 2 there will be lots of cliques. :( Sad reality.
BUT
Next year i get to make a sec 1 class bonded like how my PSLs made 101 so bonded and enthu! Although i'm not sure if it is possible for another class to be as enthu and ONEOHONE! But i shall try!

#2
BAKESALE!
I get to see my dear t3s again! And bake muffins!
ALRIGHT LISTEN UP EVERYBODY: BUY OUR GOODIES OR YE SHALL GET IT FROM ME.
But seriously, they're super duper yummy.

#3
PSB CAMP!
Yay PSB camp! [2nd & 3rd nov] Although honestly i think Ship Ahoy is still at the 'i know your name' part, not yet at the 'WHOOHOO WE ROCK MAN!' stage, as in, we're still not A GROUP. We're definitely a group, but not really A GROUP. D: Nevermind. Maybe things will get better during part 2?

The picture is cut off, but here's the missing part :I will STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT AGAINST POVERTY on 17th October 2007. Please join me. (And then the 'please join me' is supposed to be hyperlinked to http://community.livejournal.com/lacafetiere/2405.html)

It's the day for RGS to STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT AGAINST POVERTY! Y'know it's real great that students in RGS organise meaningful events, really.
Yay i'm so proud to be an Rafflesian! (clapclapclap)

Anyways
Yupp i think that it's real important that we bring this issue to the attention of world leaders. The fact that half the world is living in poverty is not to be ignored.

"The promise to end poverty inequality and hunger. The promise to stop children dying from preventable diseases. The promise to ensure basic education for all children, particularly girls. The promise to stop women dying during pregnancy and childbirth. The promise to provide water and sanitation and to protect the environment. The promise to provide more and better aid, fair trade and debt cancellation. The promise to achieve these goals by 2015. The promises that some of them [world leaders] have not kept." (taken from inet)

THE WORLD MUST STOP BREAKING PROMISES. PROMISES LIKE THIS. THE PROMISE TO HELP FEED THE STARVING, MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR THEM.

(Just like the promise should be kept to bring co2 levels down to 1994 standards. But that's a different story.)

So STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT AGAINST POVERTY!

HEY GUESS WHO'S BACK???
It's me! Annette!
YEAH RIGHT.

ANYWAYS
EOYs are officially overrrrr! Whee :D This is as good as post-PSLE, only better cos we don't have lessons. BUT there's still training so yeah i can't go home early.
THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO:
1. Netball carnival!
2. Camp!
3. Drama night!
4. I don't know, just the post-EOYs activities?

Woah i can't belieeeve i didn't update my blog for more than a month already. Before this i had a million things in my mind to blog about and now my mind is just -BLANK-. Happens every time, so you see why my blog posts are all so randomish and i-don't-know-what-i'm-talking-bout-just-filling-up-spaceish. Great i shall stop wasting time trying to blog and go waste time on facebook instead.

Baking was super duperly fun! Lynnie mouse is a great acting buddy :D

"I'm tellin' yeh, it's outta order!"
"I know, man, that's why I'm orderin' from it! To give it some orders!"
"But it's outta order! As in it's like, spoiled!"
"Yeah, ah know it's spoiled, and it's also outta order yeh, so i'mma solvin' one problem at a time!"
"But its a machine! You don't talk to a machine!"
"But its still a...thing on the earth, man! A brother!"
"You know, ah think yeh should go to the I.M.H."
"Do THEY sell burgers there?"
"Yeh!"
"Ah dunno, man."
"JUST GO! It's very nice, yeh see, I.M.H. stands for I M HAPPY!!!!"
"Hmm, ah dunno."
"JUST GO!!!"
"Nah, ah don't think so, when there are people like you yellin' there."

Being the superbly kind-hearted people we are, we bakers decided to give the Richard house comm BROWNIES! But they didn't like them. Oh well at least we know, now, or we'll have an angry mob running after pitch forks demanding for their money back. Nevermind, Tan Ying Xin says she knows how to bake brownies (which i don't ) so maybe she'll know what's wrong with ours. Anyways HOMEMADE MUFFINS ROCK! Cos i really never tried baking them before, only cookies. And considering that there were only me and Rachel there baking 'em, i think we're pretty good muffin-newbies! I didn't try the cookies, but they sure looked good, and i only tried the first batch of brownies, and i think they were ok only they tasted too much like cake. Woohoo but i'm gonna be baking lots more after the EOYs to supply for the rest of the hungry+sweet-toothed RGS population!

This is what i get for being too high. It's all those BLA-der's fault for cheering so high-pitched. It's also the prefect's fault for copycat-ing them in Unite. It's also my fault for being high enough to follow them and try to break the pitch barrier(?). Yup and now i'm stuck eating fish soup/sliced fish mee sua/fish porridge until i'm well again. Or until the stall finally stocks up on their shredded chicken so there's enough to make me a chicken porridge instead. Which isn't a great improvement but I'M SICK OF FISH-ING(Eating fish :). It's like a marathon, first comes the sore throat, then comes the cough with sore throat, and finally today hurrah no more sore throat, but a FLU, yes a FLU to take over it! I know i sound super pathetic and feeling-sorry-for-myself-ish, hey but it isn't everyday you get to write a complainy post this long, eh? No, i'm just kidding, i'm not GLAD i'm sick, if i were during a holiday i must have something seriously wrong with me. Hope i can still go baking on friday.

HAIRSPRAY ROCKS :D

But i can't blame Tingfang for being too creeped out by John Travolta to watch it. I went through the whole movie thinking that he was a girl! Actually my mom already said: It's a man leh! during the movie, i thought she meant Edna SOUNDED like a man, because, yeah, i thought he was a girl. Anyways, regardless of the fact that J.T. is weird in the movie, HAIRSPRAY ROCKS. It's got great songs, great acting, great dancing etc.etc.etc. and apart from that it's got an AWESOME MESSAGE. See, in the movie, only white people get to be on TV when the TV station gets rid of 'negro day', the only day when the blacks get to be on TV, and the good guys in the movie are fighting for INTERGRATION not DISCRIMINATION because it ain't fair, yeah? So WATCH IT and think about the MESSAGE and your attitude towards other races. Cos even today, i see people showing prejudiced attitudes towards people of other races unknowinly, so yeah, i think it's really important that we DON'T DISCRIMINATE :D

Boo hoo SL term is over :( Actually i'm happy that i don't have to go up to people saying: er... your name tag's not on and i don't have to stand at the gate like a scarecrow anymore in the mornings. BUT i'll miss the T3SLs loads and loads <3 and the SLICks and just the whole SLism thingy.

Yay we had a party for dailaoshi in the gym today!

Decorated the gym with crepe paper from 8 to 9. Wenjun stood on a pile of mats and stuck the balloons up cos she had the SEXAYIEST and longest legs among the people already there. When laoshi came we turned up the music and stomped our feet to pretend we were the "xue zhangs" practising for the Tday dance. Which doesn't make any sense cos wh on earth would we perform AFTER teacher's day but anyways laoshi doesn't know, so whatever. Laoshi didn't scream or anything when she saw the party, just went SMILEY SHOCKY SMILEY. Truth or dare -or shi hua huo yong gan de shi (bad translation, but she understood)- with laoshi was really fun. We got to learn A LOT about her <3 life ahemahem and GASP she turned her BF's proposal down oh sob :( Poor Miao was forced into confessing a LOT too, even by laoshi.
Laoshi: Ni xi huan ni de nan peng you ma? (Do you like your BF?)
Miao: Wo mei you nan peng you!!! (I don't have a BF!!!)

And I had to propose to a pillar and sing ABC doing a handstand against the bar. Claudia was really funny. She had to stand outside the gym and yell: KISS MY ___!!! in both english and chinese (QING WO DE PI GU!!!) just so laoshi could hear. Aren't we evil?

After games we decided to stand on the mat pile and scream and wave at the people outside the school. Only a few nice ones waved back and anyways most people didn't see us. Blah.

HAPPY COACH DAY. JIAO LIAN JIE KUAI LE.

SL dance! <3<3<3
Prac today was really fun cos i finally learnt show me da $$ :)
And training was just a curtain away so i can stick my head in and say hi anytime i want. Not a lotta people went for training lah so laoshi let them slack. Melmiao was really nice and helped me re-choreo the ribbon part again. And i found out i wasn't supposed to point the ribbon downwards. I was supposed to point it upwards hehheh.
I'm watching CSS 2 now. GO ZHENGNING GO! :D
Yeah actually this is like the FIRST time i'm watching? Must support fellow Rafflesians :D

So many people to congratulate.

RGym exco 2008!

LinWen and Eunice Chong! Next-year PSLs!

Alanna! Softball vice capt 2008!

T3SLs! For getting in for Tday. Although i'm not sure if we were made to get in because anyways we were asked to do the dance. Yeah and i LOVE our MAFIA dance hehheh.

SHOW ME DA MONEY

I'm going nuts. Sometimes i don't know why i go nuts when other people have the same amount of homework that i have. Maybe its just that I'M nuts. Or that my IQ is getting lower. Maybe the Algernon-Gordon effect is taking place. Gak. I'm spouting nonsense.

Oh. My god. I think i need a manicure.
The sun. I swear. Is bleaching out my coloured hair.
Red blue yellow green. What's the colour of my team?
I don't know. I don't care. How am i supposed to do my hair?
16 to 24. I don't even know my score.
Go go go. Fight fight fight. Gee i hope i look alright.
[Our bimbo batch cheer. Like, so totallaye BIMB, babayye.]

Me and Lynn have our very own skit on what happened when 101 went in search of 316 for SL:

101ian: EXCOOZE me, but do you know where TWREE SIXTAIN is?
Random person: Errh, i dunno.
101ian: Well why don'tcha know?
Random person: Errh, i nevah heard of it.
101ian: Oh. OKAYYE.
Random person: Why don't you ask the principal? [talking to audience] That person must be a real Gong Kia!

Narrator: At the principal's office

101ian: EXCOOZE me PWINCIPAL, but do you know where TWREE SIXTAIN is?
Principal: (looks stunned. signals 101ian to come closer)[whispers] Thereain't no TWREE SIXTAIN.
101ian: Oh! Well how sillaye of me! Ok, off i go now. To find TWREE SEVARNTEEN!

Note: THIS SKIT IS NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. 101ians aren't really that dumbish. Really.

We turned the air conditioning on on saturday but dailaoshi didn't say anything. Then at the end of training she went: 记得关冷气。haha :) and now she doesn't mind the air conditioning cos it's SO obvious anyways that we turned them on and it's so HOT out there. Today she and denglaoshi came into the gym like they were survivors in the middle of the sahara desert and they complained of the heat and that they had eaten something unfresh (is that even a word?) or something. Then the two poor half-dead laoshis just collapsed onto the crash mats and stayed there very still for a long long time. We didn't even have to do anything to warm up, and they didn't even bother to tell us when to yatui because desert survivors don't tell people when to yatui. Yeah so we (me, claw, christine, cailiyn, wenjun, angela, zhimin) just played games with the balls and then when we got tired of that we just dragged some mats and put them all clustered together , not even straight, and erm, didn't really yatui, just a little. And that was when i realised CLAUDIA could be really SICK if she wanted to. Like REALLY. The rest of training was just spent doing stuff like choereographing for our gym concert routine, playing limbo with the rope tied to the bar, and other weird stuff like teaching wenjun the xjt routine.

Ah i love fun trainings, although they don't do much for our gymming abilities. Not that mine are very good or anything.

My abs are so weak. I have NO abs. Last time, i could still complete 30 fujis quite OK-ly, but now it's like i have to torture myself like crazy just to do it. I'm getting weaky weaky weak. And i can't skip rope. During june trainings, i got used to the fact that i can't escape skipping and i think i improved, cos i didn't have to stop very often. But now i'm lousy lousy lousy at skipping again. Bleh.

I'm so sick of wasting my life. Everytime i spend a night doing homework and then find that i didn't accomplish much, i'll just get so frustrated at my lousy slowness. And then waste more of my life lying in bed feeling guilty. How ironic.

And i'm sick of you wasting helping me waste life for me as well. Sometimes i don't know how i can still stand it.

Training is getting slacker and slackerer, although we run a lot more. Running is ok, just as long as the sun isn't BLAZING HOT and we don't have to skip rope after that. Today laoshi made is run 5+2+1 rounds round the track(do your maths). And miss macho legs #2( Nerdy is already #1) Claudia Tong was in the lead again, we couldn't see her already after 1-2 rounds!!!! And Wen Jun was also pro despite her eye prob. I SO envy them mannn! The rest of training was slacky as in laoshi let us take our sweet sweet time yatuing, she even ASKED us to take more time! And there was air con (shhhh!) :D.

I am interested in - do tell me aboutherhimitthem

I don't know what #5 is, but it sounds gross.

Ohno homework is piling up :(

First music module lesson today. I spent half the time looking blur because i missed the last lesson. Mr whatshisname asked us to do our jingle composing for ACP and i thought we were just composing any old song we liked, until the end of the lesson he did a summary and said Anar's teddy bear jingle was very appropriate for our ACP(We're making teeny teddy bears) and i was like, huh? Then i realised we were composing for ACP lah so no wonder we couldn't come up with any lyrics! As in, wouldn't it be easier if i knew i just had to do a song about jewellery, or teddy bears rather than to come up with lyrics with no theme or whatever to follow? Bleah. Keyboard was quite ok even though once again i was the blur-est because i had no idea how to operate it. Which is weird considering i owned a keyboard for, 3-4 years?

After music when i was running to the hall, i had the feeling that my shoes were kinda big and i looked down and went "Omigosh these are Xiao Tong's shoes!!!!". And then Xiao Tong appeared with her heels sticking out of MY SHOES. LOL

Congrats to RG r.gymmers!!
Even if we didn't win 1st for everything (but Gladys did!), you all did great! :D
And we will try harder next year, yeah?
p.s. I'm not as good as writing congrats posts as Christine
(click), so sorry! and go read hers!

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
