Orientation tomorrow.

GO 109! GO 109! GO 109!

Ballet concert is finally over. So this means no more ballet until i find time to continue. :( Sad.

I had my first experience of being stalked yesterday. The little kids in flower costumes. Ok i regret teaching them the moose song.

I shan't bother to elaborate on the horrors of being stalked cause i have to go chiong a PSL session proposal.

27dec
Today was a fantabulistic day!

PSL session training was great :) T&D did a good job although the part about the mock PSL session was erm, kinda embarrassing but ahha we learn from it. Treasure trove is a super violent game haha. But it was a super fun game as well! Yay well the training was real useful so we know how to deal with bo-chup people and all even though i was a bad mock PSL. Like the time i said: How can you say that? You hurt her feelings! And then i was thinking : Whoops mistake alert!

Butt-writing is a humiliating form of punishment :D But i don't mind

After the training i went out with the JPSLs and SPSLs present while the PSLs were having their meeting. Went to Far East to eat ramen. When we all squeezed into the elevator (with a poor guy squashed at the corner) the erm, overload-alarm went off. Oops. I ordered a Healthy Mushroom Ramen and then i wanted to pay my $4 so i said: Muo Gu De to the cashier person and then my evil batchmates laughed cause they thought the way i said Muo Gu to the cashier was funny. Well it was :)

The SPSLs eat much faster than us. They ordered after us and yet finished like 10-15 minutes earlier? That just goes to prove my theory that as you get older you can eat faster. So haha my dad can't say that i eat to slow anymore cause how can i compare to him? He's 33 years older.

After our lunch meeting me and Nadia and Shao and Elaine and some SPSLs went to Lido to watch I Am Legend. Elaine couldn't watch though. She had table tennis training. So we went to Lido and there was a PRIVATE SALE at Isetan. HELLO IM NERDZ AND IM PLAYING BOGGLE. Then Laura made me stand in front of a 27 Dresses movie poster and let her take a picture of me. Haha.

Sat around for more than an hour before buying the tickets. Then some PSLs came to join us and i ended up sitting in between Chow Yue and Nadia. There were so many of us PSB people wearing the same shirt people must think we're from some sort of tour group. Well it was super fun watching the movie with so many people you know. Then everyone was clutching onto each other and then at the scary parts everyone can gasp and scream together.

And that was why today is a fantabulistic day. :D

The weirdest thing happened at 1am yesterday.

We were back from the airport after seeing my dad off and when we entered the house we found Rabby sitting on the yoga mat. So my mom went "Come and look at Ah Boy! So cuuute!" And then we all went and gave Rabby lots of pats and all. But that's not the weird part. Gushing over Rabby is very normal.

Then Dong went and got some of Rabby's favourite food -pellets- and this is where the weird comes in:
He didn't go running for his food.

Nope he just sat there even more gong than Bebe Yip (:P) so we knew something was seriously wrong with that bunny. So mom took the whole container of pellets over and put it right in front of Rabby's face. But he still didn't move. So naturally everyone PANICKED.

The rest of the night (or rather, superduper early morning) was emotional and sad and all. We thought that Rabby was sick or something cause he just kept changing spots to sit in like a dead slug and my mom was the saddest of us all. She even said that if Rabby died she would never get another pet again.

Next morning:

Mom: Wake up lah.
Me: What time is it?
Mom: 12
Me: Oh man.
Mom: Rabby is normal again leh! I checked on him at 6 and he was acting normal. I'm gonna go give him veggies.

After giving veggies to Rabby:

Mom: Rabby is really fine now cause he attacked me for the veggies as usual.
Me: See, toldja he was just tired.

So now that all this drama is over we have concluded that Rabby was just being an emorabbit and there was nothing wrong with him in the first place.

Reporting day was great :) You can see all the sec ones and feel a little better about your height. But still lots of them were taller than me gahh. Walking around in court shoes hurt your feet. The floor feels real funny when you take them off. But it's kinda fun wearing them too :D And they make you feel taller.

I'm gonna be in 202 next year! Actually i think 1/3 of the people in 202 next year are from 101. But it's kinda sad cause i heard that lots of cliques form in sec 2 due to people only sticking to the people from their sec 1 classes. So i'm determined not to be one of them. So slap me if i do.

And i'm a 109 i/c next year :D :D :D Yay i can't wait to see those niners. If i'm lucky, they'll be just as enthu as dear 101. I love 101 loads and loads and loads. <3 And i hope i'll like 202.

*Clears throat* To all 202ers out there, here's to a great year! *Clinks glass with no-one*

I don't know what to blog about.

Tomorrow is reporting day:) i can see my junior from SPS. maybe. She's dong's friend's sister and i played maple with her before. Haha. But i've never seen her. I think this is the first time i'm looking forward to school reopening. Not that i haven't been to school for a long time. During my time in SPS, holidays mean not entering school for the entire month unless there are any camps. Well i haven't exactly been deprived of school this holiday. But i don't really mind:)

Good luck to all people not used to wearing heels for tomorrow! :D

Dead blog.
Well it's back to singapore. Back to reality.
Singapore= reality
Not that there's anything really bad about spore but
Reality= you can't just laze around a naturally air-conditioned house in a foreign country and watch Boomerang cartoons all day
Jordan= laze around a naturally air-conditioned house in a foreign country and watch Boomerang cartoons all day
Singapore= reality
So that's why i say, back to singapore, back to reality

My natural alarm has been disturbed. In jordan bedtime was about 9.30 and i would just wake up at exactly 9.31 every day all by myself. I don't know why, it's just like that. And guess what time i woke up the next morning after i came back? 2.45pm. Then that night i couldn't fall asleep until the time my friends wake up during normal school days. The last time i looked at the clock before i fell asleep, it read 4.58am. I had gone to bed at around 1pm. It's getting better now. Last night the last time i saw the clock it read 3.50+. Haha.

Hope no one falls asleep reading my ramblings about my sleep patterns. :D

I'm dreaming about school all the time. Maybe i'm turning into a schoolaholic.

Yesterday:
I dreamt that for sec 2, i have been transferred to St Hilda's sec for no apparant reason. And then in my dream i also joined tennis. Which makes no sense because how do i join RG tennis when i'm already in St Hildas. And there was also something about Li Lao Shi from SPS and a chinese file and PHOEBE YIP. Li Lao Shi gave us back our chinese files and phoebe yip was sitting beside me. Oh yeah and i also dreamt that i took a bus to a weird clubhouse of some sort on the was home from RGS and as i was leaving i got offered some free autumn festival food samples and there were mooncake rolls (that don't exist) which were really flattened mooncakes rolled up.

Some other day:
I dreamt about training. (!!!) I was half an hour late for training which was held in this really faraway place and i travelled there by go-cart. We did fu jis and i was told by Claudia that there was actually a grading system for training and that TingFang got a D for obedience and i was superduperly shocked, because how can laoshi give TingFang a D for obedience, that's just plain wrong. (And please TingFang don't be sad cause i don't think you'll ever get a D for obedience and who grades students for obedience now anyways?) And then after training i realised that i didn't have enough money to take the mrt or bus or anything home (which was far far away). But the good news is that i woke up so i didn't have to have any money to travel home.

And then there were also some other dreams about school but i don't remember all of them. There was also one about the people who went to genting and kamala was in it too.

We were all in a school concert and kamala was performing. She was supposed to play the piano for one item but we waited and waited and nothing happened. So for some reason i marched up to the stage and i went to the piano which was BACKstage and there was the piano score so i tried to play the song. It wasn't hard but i made lots of mistakes and i was scolding myself and thinking "What are you doing man?" to myself and when i looked down at the audience, there was KAMALA! And then when i finished playing i went to her and begged her to go play that piece again because i hated myself for taking her place and she was refusing and in the end she agreed. But it turns out she wasn't even supposed to play that piece in the first place and she was supposed to do some sort of dance and i was in shock because i made a fool of myself.

Well okay i know my mind is weird.

Hey everyone :)


I'm in my dad's house in Jordan and i wish i had a house like this is spore. :( It's sooo pretty and there's a garden with a lime tree and orange trees cause the landlady loves gardening. The landlord & landlady live upstairs and we get the whole downstairs for ourselves whee. I could get used to this :DDD


Egypt was totally like how suzhou was when i was a weenie little girl! Except i could read the signs in suzhou but i can't in egypt cause everything's in arabic. And egypt is real sandy not like suzhou which is erm not sandy. And the egyptians just look like malays so it didn't feel very foreign country-ish there.

Think the great pyramids of giza are in the middle of a desert far away from the towns and cities? Think again. I could just see them from my the hotel room window, which also means they're in the middle of the town, and not in the middle of a desert far away from the towns and the cities. You get the idea. It was kinda scary there not because of the curse or anything or the smell of camel poop but because of the camel owners and headdress salesmen there. Because of their kinda bad reputation, people are avoiding them like the plague and you can see how desperate they are to get you to buy their stuff or ride their camels. The headdress salesmen will say something like "This is a gift. You make a good arab!" and they'll put a headdress on your head which kinda means like SOLD! and you're stuck. Actually i kinda pity them cause my dad says in egypt the people don't earn much.

I didn't go inside the big pyramid (the giant triangular one) but i did go into the teenie deformed one because the entrance fee for the big one is 100 egyptian pounds = 20+ singapore dollars per person (!!!) and the entrance fee for the teenie pyramid was F.O.C.. The entrance was a tunnel like a slide down but with rungs and it was really steep so dong went down on her butt. Wasn't much inside just a stone room. And N.E.R.D was too tall so she also went down on her butt. WHOO! [And yes, she wrote those last two sentences.] (No I didn't!)

The sphinx was just the sphinx, nothing else to be said. Who says! It was BIG NICE AND SANDY!

I went to the supermarket last night! Gee that sounds weird. It was fun heh.

And last night i had a dream about school oh wow i actually dream about school! HURRY UP WILL YOU I NEED TO DO THE ELLLLLL BLOGSKIN! Anyways it was the 20th of december in my dream so reporting day was on the next day. I was in SPS but chewlin and brenda and jiaying and juliet and mrs wee were in my dream and i don't know why they were in SPS. I was kinda worried in my dream cause i didn't know what to do for reporting day. Chewlin and brenda and jiaying came in when i saw they were in aeroplane with no roof in the concourse and ready to go for an overseas school trip and juliet was telling me that the aeroplane was about to take off so i had to stand behind the yellow line. (Sounds familiar? And the funny thing is that there really is a yellow line at SPS to mark that no food was allowed beyond the yellow line:) After that i ate some rice for lunch from stall 2. As i was leaving the canteen i saw mrs wee and some other JPSLs at the learning circle and it turns out she was giving them a briefing on what to do for reporting day and what we were supposed to do was to wear our vests (which i haven't gotten yet in real life) and those black shoes for special occasions and i was thinking now how am i supposed to get them when reporting day is just tomorrow?!? And then chewlin and brenda and jiaying were waving to me from the plane that just took off. And then i woke up and realised that we were probably gonna be told what to do on reporting day during pre-orientation training and reporting day was NOT tomorrow so i relaxed.

(The writing in red is what nerd wrote.)

Guess where i'm at.
The free internet access station @ changi airport!
Bye:) The plane's gonna fly without me soon.

Did you know that i really, really, dread every single training? I'll be all whiney and sulky in the morning before training, and then during training, i'll be thinking to myself "This ain't so bad!". But no matter how many times i go through that dumb cycle, i still have the pre-training blues. Sad right?

There's one thing stuck in my mind right now.

Wanna guess what it is?

Ok here's a clue

E.

Here's another.

D.

And another.

W.

And another.

A.

If you are as obsessed with the series as i am, the answer would have just popped up in your mind when i gave the E away. For those poor deprived people who HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK *gaspgasp*, here's the answer:

E D W A R D C U L L E N

aka the vampire dude from Twilight. I don't know how Stephanie Meyer could make him so... ALIVE. I mean, people, or girls rather, all over the world are drooling over a non-existent character that only appears in text form. Maybe that's what makes her writing so great. And, try as i might, i just can't even IMAGINE how he looks but just READING about him makes him real enough. So real, yet so fake. As in so unbelievable. So unbelievably perfect.



Anyways i don't know what else to say and i don't want this post to get too embarrassing in an over-obsessed-fan way. So all i have to say is READ THE BOOK! And let yourself act like a daydreamy despo for awhile. It's alright. Me and the rest of the fan club would understand. :D

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.
