So today me, Giwon, Julia, Persa, Amanda, Verna, Cat, Charm, Chanel and Yufei turned up for school. (That sentence is grammatically unsound but whatever.) That's 33.3333333333...% of 307.
Hooray!
Uhm so the school day was composed of Malay dance, violin and guitar duets, cute Australian song, bridge, Chanel's creative bidding strategies, clay, koping food from sec 2 ACP, screaming, CCA photos, singing aloud and well, all the usual. Life is pretty good.

Oh yes RachelTan and I went to meet Andy again love love love his office yay! And we got Juan Foo as our film mentor! (If you don't know Google him:) Spent an hour and a half reviewing our entry and talking about how to re shoot certain scenes, tidy some stuff up and I got goosebumps watching that piece of work again esp. when Juan un-muted the music because there were so many obvious flaws. I am pretty glad that we get a second chance at this thingum.

My blog is boring TTM so I will say something exciting. HAORONG AND HAOYU ARE COMING TO RGS. Yes, they are. I BET YOU DON'T KNOW THEM. Okay I phail at exciting.
I will say something else that is exciting. I WORE A PRETTY DRESS TODAY. Gawk and gasp all you like, people. Okay fine maybe I'll give up exciting and continue being boring.

Hello so a lot has been happening lately and most of it fun (:

Yesterday was fun! Had PSB Night practice in school at 11 it's gonna be awesomeeeeee and I will NOT bust my shin this year. Oh choir concert was great too, I can't sing like those kids can. They totallaye deserved a GWH!

OH AND AFTER THAT I MET MY MOM AND DONG AND LEK AND BEBEYIP. Dong, Lek and Bebe were swimming at Safra when I arrived and we drove to Seletar Country Club for Brendan Lau's birthday. Imagine a one year old having a birthday banquet in the ballroom complete with blown up banners of himself and WAITERS running around refilling glasses. Cool eh? And guess which crew turned up wearing shorts and T shirts? Nobody seemed to really care, at least.

Then after that drove to Sembawang park where we did monkey bars and the swings plus volleyed a green balloon from the party. Bebe and Lek got addicted to Oven Break on my phone.

Today went to Changi Airport to send the TI people off but guess what I was late so only Germaine was still outside the departure gates ): Well at least I didn't go for nothing! HAVE FUN IN TAIWAN, PEOPLE! GERM REMEMBER THE SARSAPARILLA AND TELL ME ABOUT THE OTHER TI KIDS SO I CAN FB STALK THEM ALL.

Jiayun, TZY, Ben and Ryan were there too, but Ryan had to leave. So I followed Jiayun to the foodcourt to watch Ben and Zhiyuan eat their lunch. Ben says the strange guy who asked me to be his friend the day before was a perv who made the news before.

Jiayun: Different people have different interests. Mine are eating and sleeping!

Dodgeball was fun today! Was supposed to ref but we didn't have enough players so the refs played too. Haha it's like slacking and laughing and screaming and throwing and jumping and more laughing. Awesome IHG. If nobody organises it next year I WILL COMPLAIN (:
And Richardson owned IHGs yay! But I guess it was kinda more for fun this time because it's only among sec 3s so haha just hope everyone had fun today. Winning feels goood though :D
Took some pics with housemates. You know I Never Knew Wanshuen Was In Richardson whoops.

Netcarn tomorrow we're (again) unprepared but can't wait! Netball is fun.

Karaoke was pretty fun. Smrithi was awesome as MJ and Alanna's beatboxing was super cool! Aha and we didn't prepare much but at least we went up there and finished the song?

The less you eat, the more you gain!
Yes, dude, there is a grain of truth in there. So today I made myself eat lunch in an attempt to un-screw my screwed metabolism. I think most of the stuff we do (or don't do) is habitual.

Argh this foreign number called and I accidentally rejected the call and was blur enough to call back WITH MY HANDPHONE only to find that it was some (assumed) person from China who called the wrong number D:

Emily, Gloria and Zi En are at AMK hub eating durian pancakes haha.

Okay I admit I have nothing interesting to tell the world as of now.

HELLO BLOGGER. I AM BACK!

For those who don't know, I went on a blogger/msn/fb ban before the EYAs. To end on November 1st. So here I am (:

Oh dear it's like November already aren't we all getting old? I was in the car the other day and I concluded my childhood was prematurely and forcefully ended with the onset of something called SECONDARY SCHOOL. RARR.

Yeap so Penang was pretty okay but since mom was there playing property agent I didn't do anything much but mooch around and provide free labour. First step to taking over Eunikem haha nah kidding. Oh and Jillian is cute TTM! Her favourite words are Mama, Papa and WHEEE. Like when we're sitting in the car she'll randomly go WHEEE. And once she put a wool scarf under one foot and discovered how slidey (not a real word) it was to walk like that so she went WHEEE while tottering around the house. And everyone says I looked and acted just like her when I was 2 too haha.

Me: She's such a happy little baby (: (:
Mom: You were like that once, until you turned into this tired old lady.

Aw.

Julia is 6 but she wears the clothes I wore when I was 10. Oh and she's smart, you can tell she learned how to speak watching Playhouse Disney because she says things like "There you go again!" which is pretty funny-amusing.

Karaoke tomorrow! Oh dear. Aha have very little prepared but last minute work is always the best. At least for me. 307!

EYAs coming soon!

Oh no physics physics physics = die ): Hopefully can scrape through with a 2.8 at least. It's not that awesome but it's okay considering the state of my physics grade right now.

If I didn't go for TI, I think I'd hate Chinese, but I did so I don't hate Chinese. I mean, isn't it better to like something you're struggling with than hate it? :D

Haha went to extra at the TI'09 meeting at the flagpole (: feels good to be a generation ahead. With the backpack, too.

Credits to Ryan Seah for nudging me to update.

OK I know I've been ignoring this blog (:

IHG cheer cum dance was awesome! RGS Cheerleaders are cool. And and you can really see they're enjoying themselves up there despite the smallish audience.

Lynn: We are BOOMZ dynamite
We are not RAD, or KHAKI, we are BLUE

Haha, Lynn (: You're a great capt even with your evil plans and stuff! Oh yeah and Richardson had a good crowd! Plus I think the biggest house comm. THANK YOU ONE AND ALL FOR COMING<3


And today on the 980 I met Shen Laoshi. I was like trying to remember the last time I saw her, and I realised it was LAST JULY. JULY 11. GYM COMP. Wow.

She said hi and stuff and asked me how I was and I struggled to gather my thoughts and express them in borderline-understandable Chinese. I was half waiting for her to tell me I got fatter since last comp (because I think I did) but it never came and I was strangely disappointed but then realised Why would she even say that in the first place?

And I really really really miss all the gym people that I haven't seen for so long e.g. awesome IJTP gymmers ): And I remember I thought Shen Laoshi was scary the first training with her in E block but of course that never stuck (:

Today was a good day

Ah gosh just came back from j8 where we attempted lit PT (: Key word: attempted. Hey at least we tried!

And I'm gonna leave the house in 15 minutes for piano at CCK oh man I can't believe exam is Monday and I'm not freaking out.

And I'm a wreck right now all because I didn't cool down after running yesterday. Like my feet were burning hot and I had to stick them in ice water. And my hands were trembling at dinner. But it's all good now. Almost (: I don't wanna go for piano. But I must. So bye.

Today was a good day (:

Met the TI kids again but this time there were only hmm 9 of us? So spent most of the day at Bishan Active where the guys played basketball for most part. I got 2 blisters from the monkey bars. One is broken and ouch it hurts like crazy now. Not to mention how gross it is. AND I NEVER GET BLISTERS FROM ROPE. Wow. Did a bit of practice shooting. Phail rate was like 95% whoops gotta do something about that. Oh then Jiayun came.

jia yun is awesome (:

Jia yun says: (8:42:20 PM)
u are too of course
jasmine says: (8:44:00 PM)
yay!

And then Yinxin came some time later on so Jiayun and Yinxin and I talked a lot. YES HAHA JIAYUN YOU ARE AWESOME (: AND YINXIN IS ALSO AWESOME (: And oh yes it was freakishly hot today. Like now my arms are a little red, but not burnt. And I stubbed my toes against the walls of my sneakers a lot so now they hurt too. Lousy sneakers D:

Sooo later on went to J8 to eat. At this point in time Yinxin and Jiayun decided to pangseh me and Zhiyuan joined in. And Marcus got his present! That giant plastic milk bottle thing with a monkey inside (:

Uh okay so after that we split.

edit:
Jotdan wants to be awesome too so Jotdan is awesome! Haha kidding I know it's you, Jordan. How on earth did your finger slip to the T on the keypad -.- Anyways since you (indirectly) asked for that
YES, JORDAN IS AWESOME TOO(:

Oh and just so everyone else (who is not Jiayun or Yinxin or Jordan) doesn't feel left out
YOU'RE AWESOME TOO(:

Holidays! As expected, the to-do list has been growing and growing at a healthy rate (: Or maybe ):

I don't know. Both?

So I have a lot of math to catch up on considering I missed another all-important lesson (aren't they all?) on Thursday and I spent most of Friday's struggling to copy all the worksheet answers down (the relief teacher writes amazingly fast on whiteboard). Yeah and doing rubbish with Emily and Zi En like going "I UNDERSTAND! HAH!" and then finding that the time you had taken off to exclaim your ecstasy significantly set you back for the next question. Emily says specs make me look intellectual.


And and I hate that I ran so much today but I don't feel accomplished AT ALL because I could've gone faster and as a result of my slackness I don't even feel like I ran at all. In fact, I think I just let myself jog most of the time ): Shall go read Pearl Izumi's Running Preservation book for motivation for tomorrow(: http://www.wearenotjoggers.com/home#/book/
That's really good stuff.


"A long time ago, I was on the verge of committing suicide when a guy came to the roof to have lunch. He saw me climbing over the railing and asked me to share his lunch with him. After receiving my puzzled look, he explained, “everyone should die happy. or at least with a full stomach.” We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last month. GMH."
Wow.
In case you're wondering, GMH=Gives Me Hope (http://www.givesmehope.com)


I love how Motion City Soundtrack can actually perform lyrics that wouldn't otherwise have looked like lyrics. And make them really good. So much better than Breaking Free, which couldn't really hide the strange lyrics as well. I mean, it sounds good if you don't pay attention to the way the lines don't really flow like how they're supposed to but if you do it's pretty ...
So anyways I liked Hold Me Down by MCS. If you look at the video on YouTube the comments section has become a breakup advice help forum haha which is pretty cool. And which also proves how great MCS is at writing songs.

I'm sorry that you were asleep when I wrote these words down
You'd think I ought to be used to that by now
Save for a few of those late night episodes, missed opportunities, And I don't cares; There's not a lot that I feel obliged to share or talk about
I'll have my brothers stop by this Saturday to pick up my things
Just make sure you're not there
This may sound bad and don't take it the wrong way

I mean, does this LOOK like a song to you? And yet it sounds sooo good! Or maybe just to me (: Now I finally understand why breakups make for such great songwriting material. Separate Lives, Goodbye Love etc. all great breakup songs.

Haven't seen my SPS friends for such a long time. Saw SIX of them today (: Beckham, Dillon, Jason, Jiaqing, Rachel and Wenxiang (in alphabetical order!). We went to Causeway and stuff. The movie couldn't play so now I have 2 free tickets wheeee! Maybe I'll go watch Up cause Yao Yuan said it was awesome. Who's with me?
Yeah so now all the guys are taller than I am. Sad, right? But if it was the other way round it'd be even sadder. But everyone's pretty much the same. Rachel says I've acquired an accent. And my Chinese is still weird as ever haha actually I think it got worse since I went to RG.
And Beckham lost her iPhone! So we went back to the empty theater to look for it thank goodness iPhones don't have silent, only vibrate! Dillon felt the seat vibrating and pried the cushion off and ta-dah there it was. The epitome of awesomeness. Don't we all love happy endings (:
Apparently I'm already pretty tall for a girl and RGS girls are not accurate gauges for girl height. But I still have to catch up with Nerd and Jordan at least! 4cm more!

On Wednesday, a bunch of Zien's debate juniors decided I had the dao look and that it was likely that I am a basketballer.

HAHAHA IT'S OKAY GO AHEAD AND LAUGH I LAUGHED TOO (:

Seriously, nobody's ever told me I looked like a basketballer in my life! Plus, I bet the fact that I was wearing a black hoodie influenced my dao factor significantly. But then again, it was a PSB hoodie with a big pink heart and a pink girl in front.

Whee I'm actually bothering to update!

School has been pretty good and I haven't been on MC for more than 4 weeks :D Cool, huh? But then again I've never been a sickly kid and this year's MCs were mostly used to cover for a certain mental hiccup. I promise I am sane now. I think. Well at least saner than I was 4 weeks ago, I guess. And I slept for 13 hours last Saturday! Before that I was too tired to even try to look alive when everyone was eating those funny Japanese desserts at MOF. I sat there biting on a metal teaspoon and stoning.

People are stealing my running route! I'll be nice and share. Anyways it's for the greater good (:

Be Yourself Day is coming up! Theme for this year is AMBITION. Well, when Dong was still in Wellington and the theme was AMBITION, she went as a cute little witch -.- She still has a badge with that photo on it. HAHA so cute right. She was p1 then I think.

Anahi Sosa is so cute! Haha random. She's my height. And 4kg lighter.

I like Mr Tan's blog. He writes really well, and I always appreciate good writing. (: A talent I have not acquired/developed thus far. Oh well (:

I tear big(ger) sushi apart and eat the rice grains in little bites. Something I discovered on Saturday at Nihon Mura. Oh and Spritzer vitamin water is too sweet for my liking plus it contains like 35g of sugar which made me go !?!?! And it made me thirsty! Which is sort of a good thing I guess because water is good.

Disclaimer: All that is written below is purely In My Humble Opinion (:

This makes sense.
http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1914857,00.html

My ever supportive (cough) sisters Nerd and Dong were telling me how disgusting it is that I have more muscle than they have (but in truth that's not a lot of muscle anyways) and my mom says girls were made to be soft but I say I can't stand it when I'm on the bus and I see these soft-looking skinny girls because I'd be thinking "Weak. ". And even my dad decides to side with the rest of them and he says there is nothing wrong with being feminine if you're a girl but I say there is a Difference between being feminine and being soft.

And there's no fun in there being alive and healthy if you can't run fast, can't jump high, can't play hard etc. etc. (: But then again maybe those skinny girls are secretly really strong! And maybe some other person on the bus is looking at me and thinking "Weak.". Haha.

Yay so today was a good day like I predicted (:

National day celebrations were fun and messy and stuff and nobody actually followed the seating arrangements in the end luh 'cause we were too busy playing mass volleyball with giant inflatable beach balls thrown at us. And I screamed at Amanda Low so much I'm sure she's going to say Huh? a lot on Tuesday haha well SOMEBODY has to make her wake up! Uh, not that it really worked because Amanda is a stubborn kid.

Yay then after a pretty long but enriching meeting I bravely set out into the Great Perhaps of Bishan. Not that Bishan's hard to get around. So I met Tok Yin Xin the lost sheep at the platform of Bishan MRT and we went up to the bus stop and, while awaiting the arrival of our other acquaintances slash friends, talked about gym training and stuff (mostly hers because you know...) and how the ex-artgym coach would look right at home with the mafia. And random stuff I guess.

After having gathered and wandered about Bishan for half an hour, we ended up back at RI where it all began. Yeah so spent about 1.5h there playing bball. And I fouled like 10489284375982 times 'cause I completely forgot about the rules and stuff and treated the whole thing like Netball (and they are very different, trust me). Haha so as I (very) slowly remembered what we learnt in sec 2 PE everything started to seem so starkly embarrassing :O You can tell that bball and I aren't exactly close friends. More like some random kid you see on the bus every once in a while. Yeah. Sorry everyone who had to put up with this ):

And I think the guys were good (:

The sec 4s were all on one team and it was pretty cute you can see this routine developing like Mabel-->Cuier-->Lin-->hoop (:

Poor Yinxin was feeling listless so I told her to eat a banana and peanut butter sandwich because I had one for breakfast. (SEE FRIENDS I ACTUALLY EAT!)

So the sec 4s left and Jiayun came along only to have me and Yinxin abandon her despite her efforts at keeping us here another hour by somehow convincing us with a picture of a little kid and a stuffed toy or something. Aw poor Jiayun ): But we really had to leave you.

Haha so on the MRT train Yinxin and I mass smsed everyone who made our day happier with bball (: Yeah and today I decided bball is actually more fun than netball. (For now at least!) Weird huh. But I'll probably change my mind again tomorrow anyways.

Oh yes and I Must stop saying "SHOOT!" every time I try to score and fail because that's just unneccessarily bimbotic.

So thanks everyone who made my day from 7.20am to 3.15pm haha (:

So this week's been pretty okayish except that I haven't been running at all. Not even like short-sprints-running-ly running. I fell asleep yesterday when I was supposed to be running ): This is baaaad and I'm publicising this stuff so I can't slack off anymore or else the whole wide world wide web will know and go ORHHOR.

Yay tomorrow will be a fun day (:
Off to philo

202nd post (: How appropriate.

Okay so I just logged on to iNet and I HAVE TO POST THIS:

GO FOR TI'09. SERIOUSLY, YOU WON'T REGRET IT(: Plus 3 weeks sounds like a really long time, but last year ours was 4 weeks and it wasn't even that long because you're so busy (life in Taiwan is really interesting:) time just whoooshes by. Don't let this opportunity slip through your fingers! I almost backed out now I'm so glad I didn't. And don't worry if your Chinese is rubbish (like mine) because the classes there are actually quite fun!

If you're a sec 2/sec 3 Chinese/HCL student from RGS, here's the iNet link:
http://inet.rgs.edu.sg/school/students/Lists/Student%20News/DispForm.aspx?ID=1598

And if you don't believe me, read my archives I think there are a few posts I posted when I was in TI.

Uh, ignore the parts about me being stressed out. I was overreacting and I think I was the only one like that?

GO MY FRIENDS. SIGN UP.

Yasmin Ahmad is gone ): For those who don't know, she's this Malaysian director and IMHO she's really really good. She made that funeral commercial (the one with the Indian woman) too. Search Tan Hong Min In Love on YouTube that one's cute (:

Meanwhile here's another good commercial if you read the YouTube comments everyone cried watching it. I didn't though (?)

Back to math.

You know, this bio PT should be super easy for a Greenie like me because everything about climate change and environment's already ingrained in my Greenie brain.

But putting it down on Pages is a different matter altogether I guess. I could stand in front of the panel and argue to the ends of the earth but I can't make a dumb little propaganda pamphlet now how sad is that.

On the bright side, Fearful Symmetry's final performance was FUN (: But I've been missing so much school (because of my mental-physical health saga, tech rehearsal and the actual performance) poor Parisa has been keeping all my notes and worksheets and I have a LOT to catch up on. Not to mention campaigning.

But OPTIMISM is the way to go so I can do it(:
