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.

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 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

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.

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!
