Totally lost my appetite today. Totally.

I only ate like 3/4 of the Chicken Rice today in school. Then I was seriously hungry after school at 4.30pm. But I didn't have the mood to buy anything to fill up my stomach. You can ask Vivian, she was there. And tonight? I only ate like a few vegetarian dumplings, 1 Yakult, and some fruits. Yakult and fruits were like...forced by my mother. :( She just came to give me noodle, I took 3 bites and gave her back the rest.

What on earth is happening to me?!?! Grr.

I love Year 1 life.

I shall list my work here so I can go and sleep now (try to), and wake up happy and energetic tomorrow to start the work.

1. Bio Prac + Report
2. Bio Terrarium Report(my part)
3. Chem Review Exercise
4. Study for Phy Quiz
5. Study for Chem Quiz
6. Study for Math Test (next tuesday?)
7. Study for Chem Test (next friday)
8. Study for Chinese Test (next monday)
9. Rehearse the Eng presentation.
10. Chinese Sui Bi
11. Pack Math File.
12. C.O stuff.

ohmygod....

I feeling ultra restless now...there's still like 1 hour plus before 12 mignight which is the time when I usually sleep and actually considered early for me. Should I go and sleep or chiong work? ahhhh.

Gahh. Havent take pictures of the rest and is too tired to do it now. Basically there's just some photos during Kbox, Joanna's bear, Suhang's bracelet, Cindy's sheep and Esther's bottle. YUP(:

So I shall end my episode of birthday in this post. :D


Today went out with Ting, Vivian, SuHang, Esther(my pri sch friend) and Cindy(my pri sch friend). Cindy only joined us for dinner. The rest of us went to Kbox before dinner. It was ultra fun! Qian Cheng and Gregory were supposed to come but QC couldnt finish his work and Greg fell sick. HAIYO.

The Kbox was funnn ;D We sang like many many many many songs!! :DDD I was jumping and dancing like siao in the Kbox room. hahahaa :D

This outing was supposed to be my birthday outing for C.O but it ended up like that somehow. XD Oh we ate at Yoshinoya for dinner and I treated. Well, my parents did. They gave me money to treat the rest cause it was suppose to be my birthday dinner with friends. :)

After dinner, Viv, Ting and SuHang went to bugis to take neoprints then go home. Cindy talked with us for awhile then went home. Esther and I shopped abit before going home. I actually accompanied Esther to take bus to Toa Payoh before taking a cab back home. LOL. Cause we had so much things to talk about!! :DDD

So here I am blogging, finally after printing like 12pages of Math Content pages for Meifang, Glen and Michael, printing out my Math Project Report and my English Portfolio essays/introduction/reflection/coverpage. Fine, Meifang printed the coverpage for me. XD

Oh anyway, Esther bought me the prenium Nike bottle, the dark green bottle with a purple cap and with some flowery designs on it. She paid $18.60 and I subsidised the rest cause it will be too ex for her to pay all. She bought it for me for birthday! :D Cindy gave me a sheep like thing, I don't know how to say, like those with a very nice scent. yup. :D Su Hang gave me a bracelet. I think it's handmade? hmmm. Looks quite nice! :D Oh I just got the present from Joanna. It's a blue little bear! ultra cute!! :DD

Thanks Joy!, Meifang, Michelle, Huishi, Gerry, Nicole, Charmaine, Kiona, Su Hang, Josephine, Amanda Tang, TingTing, Vivian, Qian Cheng, Gregory, Joanna, Joanne, Siew Yong, Glen, Huikang, Daniel, Micheal, Pearlynn, Reiko, Michelle Yeo, The WHOLE C.O!, Belinda, Zuxin, Yu Han(year 3), Stacy, Vivian, Abigail, Amelia(show fc), some 107s: (Russell, Daryl, Wanqi, Ian Foo, Lim Pin), JT, Jacey, Cherly Ko, Felicia, Grace, Jessica, Alicia, Apple, Chantal and so on...! :DDD

for making my 28/03/08 such a memorable one! Not just the dozens of presents, but also for the birthday greetings, planned surprises and so on! :DDD

I simply love you guys!


Dun ask me why am I posting so late because I'm gonna do the explanation now.

I'm going out tomorrow with some people (saying some cos some of them havent confirm if they are coming) for my birthday, or should I say later since it's already 30th Marh 1am + in the morning.

Hmm, I justed chionged finish

1. the Powerpoint slides for Point of view for the Lord of the Flies English Project
2. Math assignment 8
3. English Portfolio Project
4. Chinese Worksheet
5. Final Editing for Math Project Report

I still have to do

1. Bio Practical
2. Chem Assignment.

I'm leaving these two to the last because they can be done fast but they require some studying and reading before doing them. So I'm leaving Bio Prac to Monday and so is Chem. If I still have energy after I reach home tomorrow, I will do my Chemistry tomorrow night. But I shall try to wake up early in the morning tomorrow to finish up Bio. Maybe 8.30am.

Then I still need to revise

1. Bio Lectures 1-3
2. Physics Lecture 1-2
3. Chem Lecture 2
4. Math - Coordinate Geo Chap 1

But these can be done any time in school or the remaining time after I finish my major assignments and tasks bah.

Okay I realised I have been posting alot of studies for the past few months but I can't help it. I don't have much things to blog. AH, i'm turning no-lifer. But like what Greg says, if you enjoy doing what you are doing, it's okay. Sometimes I do think that I like to study some things, cos they are interesting. hahaha! But I do post about SPOP and all that okay! So my blog is not just a blog about schoool. hahahaha XD

Okay I better go and sleep now. BYES(:

BOO! today is my birthday!!

Happy Birthday to ME! Abigail, Ms Lee, Joy and Yuanhan. haha!

This morning came to school and Amanda gave me Taka Gift Voucher as birthday present! Then came to school and had Chem Test. I think I screwed 1 questions :( nvm, shall be happy today! Gerry asked me to go down to the locker with her and then go to the canteen! her conversations are like so random.

*Glen is this reading now*

Gerry at the canteen just now: Let's go canteen.
Me: I never bring Money
Gerry: I also never bring
Me: Then go down for what? Just go back la.
Gerry: Go around walking with me.

OMG, so RANDOM! XD no offence

Then we went back to class after awhile finally. Gerry asked me to open the door and Kiona went boo! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :D Then the rest of everybody was like crowding around my table with a cake in the middle. LALALA(: It's like a mini surprise party! :D

We ate the cake and played with the cream, putting cream on each other's faces. LOLXD Then we ate the cake. And I opened my presents! hahahaha. Gerry and Charmaine gave me an OP pencil case. Kiona and Nicole gave me a wallet. Michelle bought the cake! (: Nicole got me accessories. Huishi, Meifang, Glen, Huikang and Daniel bought me a dress. LIKE, OMG?! a black dress?! And then they forced me to wear it in the toilet. I did. And we took photos. you know how many YEARS has passed since I last worn a dress? I think it's like 4-5 years man! But the dress is actually quite nice la. XD Anyway, Joy got me a light blue adidas cap and a notebook. I love the adidas cap! I wanted to buy one last time. hahaha.

Oh, then we kept everything and get ready for History lesson. I'm blogging on Meifang's laptop now and waiting for the time to pass before going for CCA. I will post the photos up later or tomorrow and also blog about the rest of the day. HAH! :D

Today is a nice day ((((((:


YAY! It's my day tomorrow! :D

YES, JJ's birthday is one day before mine! How nice! :D but I can't enjoy today. Aww.. cos tmr got chem test. :( Well, i was wrapping Joy's birthday present cos she shares the same birthday as me! :D So, we are having a present exchange! :) Just like last year. :DDD




BOO! (:

Okay clarification for my previous post.
Mr Lee didnt attend SAJC. His brother did. XD Mr Lee, then what did you attend nah? hahaha.

Okay anyway, today I had bio and physics exam. Biology exam was like...grr! Yes I did improve alot from my previous bio exams which i just passed but I think I could have done better. Yes I could done better. Just that I have to study more details and be able to apply the knowledge. :( The last question was quite a killer. It's 20 marks (1/3 of the whole paper!!). 1 question with no sub components is 20 marks! It's comparing and contrasting of spermatogenesis and oogenesis. I wrote 6 differences and 1 similarity. Does that earn me 20 marks? I doubt so. But I seriously wonder what to write other than those that I wrote. Maybe there's more similarity. hmm.

Physics totally rocks. The exam wasn't hard, except for 1 or 2 sub components in the question that I got stuck and didn't finish. There's this 3 marks question that I can seriously get the full 3 marks but I only wrote 1 sentence due to the time limit. Gah :( Oh for the second last question, I labelled the shallow and deep water correctly (I checked my notes) but I somewhat think that my explaination contradicts with that labelling. WEIRD...And, I think the 1 hour plus that I spent with Ms Lim at the canteen really helps. really. :D I guess I can get like 40 or above for this test provided that I don't have any careless mistakes. YAY! :D

I guess I'm really into physics now. Bio isnt too hard to study for just that I have to memorise alot of things and the answers are mainly just based on memory but I simply don't get why I cant do Bio.

Then we had a bio lesson which only last for like 30 minutes, how nice! Just that my group put ants into the terrarium and we had to stay longer to get them out because they reproduce asexually and by the end of the next month, there will be like a huge number of ants in the terrarium :P

Axis today isn't too boring. After Axis, I went to the track to find Pearlynn as the Nan Hua-ians are in our school for some sports meet or sports day. Pearlynn is still nice to talk to like last time in primary school! :DDD Then we went to meet Dr Hang for C.O issues. He gave us good suggestions for the C.O Costume but the subsidy part is still not yet confirmed until tomorrow when Dr Li will tell me their decision. *Prays hard*

So, we went to canteen to slack and eat and wait for my father to come and fetch me at 5. Gregory walked pass and stayed with us, throughout the whole time he was emphasising that he had no idea why he was in school when he can go home. He was the Junction 8 then he came all the way back to school for nothing and then I sent him to Outram MRT to go home when my father comes. LOL. And tmr I have to return his Bio book to the library. Vivian was pissed because the school didnt agree to give us full subsidy today. XD

Anyway, this week didn't turn any better after today's exams. Mr Lee was saying that I can burn all these physics and bio book already cause the exams are over. He said that 2 times. LOL. Okay tomorrow there will be a physics quiz. I guess and it's most likely. Friday there will be a Chem Test and therefore, I will be missing JJ's birthday bash. (I think I'm repeating this). I also have a whole chunk of things to finish by Saturday so as to go out on Sunday for my birthday. GAH.

I think I better get going.


These 2 days are really nice. (Other than the mugging part for tomorrow's exams).

Yesterday was a nice Monday. This is like the first time this year that I didnt say Monday is boring because of the long breaks. I met Ms Lim at 8.15 which is like almost immediately after Flag-Raising to ask her some physics and I ended up spending like nearly 2 hours in the Canteen with her while Josephine and Su Hang sits next to us just for listening. (: Ms Lim treated us drink. hahaha. The last 1 hour during my first long break on Monday was spent on last minute mugging (actually just refreshing my memory on the properties of circles) for Math. Then I spent 30 mins on sleeping before Math. :D

Second long break during the Art period was used on discussing about the C.O costume with Vivian and Ting in the canteen. Joanne sits by and listens. Qian Cheng later comes when we are more or less finished with the discussing and the five of us talked crap. XD I like the part about the gummy bears. hahaha!

Oh, we had Math Quiz too. I think I can do well for this quiz. ^^

Today, was kinda great. Had my first Chem Lecture for the year! It's a new module called "Basics of Atomic Model". I think it's cool. Just that I will need somet times to digest the contents before the Test 1 on Friday. Yes, a test when we just had the lesson today. Basically because this module literally lasts for only a month with only 4 lessons to cover the whole module. It's terrible.

During break I chionged the Math homework and finished just in time. :D

History today is like...totally for laughter. Especially when my group presented our video. I think nearly everyone laughed. hahaa :D

MATH! IT'S NICE(: Okay fine, Mr Lee's Math lessons have always been nice. and if you read his blog, you will know that he knows Wayne Lim before Wayne got famous. and YES, WAYNE is JJ! (: If I didn't hear wrongly, Mr Lee is 1 year JJ's senior in SAJC and his brother is the same year as JJ. omg so cool! :D Meaning, Mr Lee's brother knows JJ and I think Mr Lee knows him too. :D Then Mr Lee told me some stuff about the JJ last time. Oh fine, I shall say the Mr Lee way, the Wayne last time. XD

Mr Lee : He nice meh? So boyish!
Me: Ya he's boyish! That's why he's nice! And his songs are even nicer!

HAHAHA(:

Today's C.O is a total slack period. I went there for like 1 hour of practice only the rest of the time they are practicing a song that I'm not involved in. Gregory made a big big mistake in reading my score or whatever happened to him and I played like a total different part from the part that the conductor asked me to solo in front of everybody. OMG. Grr! Hansiang and Vivian called me slow when they talked about...something legal. What's wrong with being not polluted! XD

Okay I finally got myself awake from this blogging and I'm gonna Mug now.

Good Luck to everybody in NUSHS for the common test/Exam tomorrow!! :D


I hereby conclude that a part of my 2008 is totally horrible.

Remember what I said about rehearsals? (for those who read that post). Okay, so today's my last SPOP rehearsal. and I'm thanking god for it cause after tomorrow, I can peacefully study for my exams and seriously mug.

BUT just like I was informed about the upcoming SPOP rehearsals during my last SLI rehearsal, I came home today, receiving an email telling me about the upcoming SIMC and Speech Day performance rehearsals.

Like, what the? My 2008 is like, literally FILLED with the rehearsals and I can seriously say that Speech Day rehearsals are horrible. Last year we had rehearsal from like 7am to 9pm or something like that and I can tell you that this year is not much better. :( Esp there's still SIMC, which is one of the major events of NUSHS also. Fine...I do enjoy performances sometimes especially the SPOP cause it's super cool but I just dont like the long hours of rehearsal, especially when my rehearsals are like non-stop this year. AHHH.

Okay anyway, watch [u]JJFC with JJ's live broadcast from the Singapore Indoor Stadium[/u]!

Channel U
7.30pm.

I'm not posting any pictures of today's rehearsal so I won't spoil the surprises and fun. :D

Okay just so update about school days.
I seriously hate my marks for Physics Test 2. I could have gotten like 10 marks higher if I wasn't so careless doing something wrong then got the whole thing wrong! :( But anyway, I still got A (82) for my Physics PC 2101 CA! muahaha.

And for English Test, got like 32/50. Looks low but I guess it's like the top 5 lo. Cause Kiona got the highest and it's 35/50 or around there and Nicole got third and it's 33/50. haha. (:




Know what? I slept at 6pm yesterday! :D and woke up 9am today. LOL.

So today I'm gonna use my whole lot of energy to study the physics and bio XD


So, yesterday I finished studying all my physics notes.

And, today, I received an email saying that Dr Hang approved our plan for new C.O ROOM! whee! We are gonna get air-conned room, carpet floor, sound proof system, projection, whatever. :D

Also, today's chinese essay writing competition was kinda good actually. At least I manage to write something out fluently with thoughts, unlike last year. Anyway, last year they gave abstract art and this year they gave like, apples. So it should be much easier. :)

Lastly, Gregory said that he will block out 30th March on this schedule to go for my C.O birthday outing! yay! :D

The one bad thing that happened today was the bio quiz. I didn't study! I think it's either a just pass or fail. :( cry!

Actually I'm suppose to be studying for Bio Exam now but I just don't feel like doing it anyway. Ahh. :( What a slacker Suchang is.

And, for the conclusion of talking to PHS on msn today is that, he is SO qian bian! GAH! Feel like kicking him for being older than me by 2 months and 8 days!

Just one last thing, thanks Geraldine, Joanne Pan, Nicole, Charmaine, Kiona, Hui Shi, Meifang, Michelle, Hui Kang, Ting Ting, Vivian, Gregory, Su Hang... for caring about me when I was sick in the past 2 days. :)


Before I start my actual post...

Clarification!

For my post on 10th March, it is not intended to hint anyone if I hate him/her or neither is it directed to anybody. It is just that I read someone's blog and realised how similar we felt about certain things that I wouldn't want to blog about. Yup. So don't think too much, esp those who have been asking me about that post. :)

Okay..

So, yesterday's S Pop Rehearsal was kinda great. We finished learning all the actions at nearly 9pm which was a surprise to me cos I remembered that the SMS i received said "6 - 11pm". I shall not say what the actions are and keep the S Pop finals mysterious. hahaha. Anyway, just to tell those who have been asking me why am I involved in S Pop, I'm actually just part of the 150 people who will be dancing alongside with JJ when he is performing at the finals. xD

After the rehearsal I went to Joanne's house to stay overnight. We slept at around 1.15 am or something like that cause when we are finally ready to sleep at 12.45am, we talked and only slept some time later. yea. And the next morning, the bus 174 came VERY late so her father has to send us to school. We went to ACJC first cause she starts school before me. :D In the end, both of us were not late. hahaha. yay!

I'm posting now not because I'm blogging during lesson or what, but I'm actually at home now. Got like severe gastric since morning and I constantly felt like vomitting. :(

Hmm..

Anyway, I finally put down a big burden after months. It has been affecting me ever since it started and now it's finally over. I am going to trust ___, in all aspects. :) and yes ___, I treasure you as one of my very best friend.


Yes, what I feared came true. We are now on the same ship. I don't know what I'm thinking right now, although there's only 2 choices. To do it, or not. I getting totally confused. and Why on earth am I feeling that way?

If the answer to the question about is really what I'm thinking now..I guess it's gonna be something big. And I really never thought that I will think this way and feel this way until that happened. Really, never.


At 12.15am. I'm here to finish up my last part of the previous post, i.e. how much work I have done today.

In physics, I have done nothing.

In english, I finished my Bio Report (Just have to add in Su Hang's ans), I finished my History powerpoint and I am 2 questions to finishing my Math Assignment 7. Okay tomorrow is already Thursday.

Muahahas.

Okay, actually, to state the fact, I think I have done not much today AGAIN. i will like whacking myself for wasting 4 days of time. I'm serious. I like to say and not do it. blah. I will be posting up what I have done again tomorrow, keep an eye on me people! Hope I will finish my holiday homework tomorrow. Cos I have to chiong my physics and bio things before holiday ends too.

Okay now. actually I think talking to Vivian L is nice, she is a nice person. :) Hmm.

I guess I have been slacking because of the things that has happened recently. I don't want it to affect me but somehow it did. I don't know why I am affected but deep down, I guess I knew why. Not gonna let it pull my results down man.


Ohmygod. I realised I have been severely slacking since the holiday started.

Saturday

Went for the CCA Leaders Leadership Workshop. It was fun but took up my whole day because it's from 9am - 5pm. After that I went to Joanne's House to eat dinner before rushing to ACJC to watch their Alumini Wind Orchestra performance. I seriously loved it! No offence but I thought it was more enjoyable than Pianissimo.

I literally slept at 2am. Because I reached home at like, 12 midnight?





Sunday

I slept at 2am, and woke up at like what? 8.30am to chiong to HSBC Treetop Walk to meet my group for the Bio Ecosystem Visit report. It's ohmygodly early. But we ended very early too. After that, I met my parents at Chinatown to buy some stuff! I bought miniature of Pipa, Erhu and ZhongRuan! They are just so cute! :D

The dinner. I simply loved it. :)

Monday

I slacked. I wanted to do Math but then due to the late night movie the previous day, my head ached for the whole afternoon so I couldnt concentrate on any work that I was doing. All i did was 3 Math Questions in the Assignment 7.

After dinner, my family went to Ikea at Tampines to buy an office chair for my father. While choosing, I saw this chair.

Haha, this reminds of Gregory. XD

Tuesday

Quite an accomplised day. Met with my group at Kiona's house to do the History Project. We did many rehearsals for the filming, I think we can finish the project this Friday when we meet at Nicole's house :D

At night, I did many things. I finished my part of the Powerpoint for the History Project and I edited the Biology Report, that is my part for the Bio Project. Just waiting for Su Hang's answer for the last question then we are done! :D

After that, I typed out all those lists, forms and whatever for C.O and sent to Liu Laoshi and Dr Li. Yay.

Wednesday

Just came back from eating at Chinatown not long ago. I bought Printer ink at Tampines just now. Now I'm blogging and I'm planning to finish ALL my holiday homework by today and I cant start to revise tomorrow.

I'm gonna use my time wisely from now onwards until Sunday evening so I can peacefully and happily go for the SPOP rehearsal. Just to add on, I'm not gonna let those things affect my mood.

BYE.

If you read her blog, what she wrote is exactly how I feel. I'm not sure if it's because of the same thing and what happened to me also happened to her but she just wrote all I wanted to say out.

After reading it, I hope it was not because of the same person. seriously i dont.

If it is, I wonder where she got the courage to exactly post it. I did post about it too but I was using many implications.


Before I start my blogging about the rehearsals, I just want to say that I finally finally cleared 3 tests out of the four that I have this week. I had Physics and English tests today. Physics was actually quite alright, not extremely hard thou, but despite that, still not guaranteed for getting high marks. :p English was okay too. The summary wasn't bad but I'm not very confident about my narrative writing. X) I think it isn't good. arh.

Mr Lee gave us back our Math Test which we took on Monday. I got 19/20, yayy. Pretty good eh. Just that I thought I should have scribbled and finished my bonus question the last second (although it is pretty much to write) so that I can get 21/20. haha.

Oh for the rehearsals.

I seriously think my 2008 is filled with dozens of rehearsals. Firstly, it was the CNY Concert rehearsal for the C.O , which started from the very beginning of the year. Then comes the Esplanade and Student Investiture rehearsals. The final investiture rehearsal ended today since tomorrow is the actual investiture already. Then Joanne called me and said, "Are you coming for the SPOP performance at the Indoor Stadium? I think you should." I told her that I might be able to go and she just assumed that I can go. arh.

So there will be 2 rehearsals at the Mediacorp and Indoor Stadium on the 17th and 22nd Mar respectively. Just to clarify, I'm not one of the finalists for the SPOP contest although I did sent in an entry. This one I'm going for is a dance performance with JJ, estimated to be 3-4 minutes or so. (: Yay.

Then I predict that there will be some more rehearsals coming for the Speech Day. C.O will be performing and since it is one of our major performance, so yar. hmm.

Anyway, I'm taking my own sweet time to post this because for tonight, I simply just wanted to blog, read my book and sleep early. Had really been mugging for the past few days for the 3 tests and severely lacked sleep. There will be a practical test for Chemistry on friday. Wish me good luck! :)

OH just one more thing. hehe. I suddenly think that being an Emcee for formal events like the investiture or the Speech Day is cool :D I really liked the way they speak. ahaha. But if I were to do it, I think will panic and need thousands of practices. x)

Ah. Hope tomorrow's investiture will turn out great and everyone synchronizes, although all I will be doing is walk on stage, bow and bow again. haha. :)

Okay, got to go now. BYE! :D


GOD. Okay, I'm gonna keep this post to 5 minutes.

I have a physics test and an english test tmr. I still have 2 sets of notes to study on Light which is tested in the Test. Tingting and Vivian said it was hard. argh.

MUG. Just now went for the SLI rehearsal! And i reached home at 7pm. After bathing and sitting on the sofa to rest awhile, it's already 7.3opm! Then I wrapped Nicole present and It's 7.45pm. I was so sleepy that I cannot do anything and I went to sleep. I wanted to wake up at 8.30 but some people kept calling me, in the end I can't sleep and I woke up at nearly 9! I'm just posting so that I can wake myself up. argh. :( :( :( :(

Okay, after I wrote the paragraph above, I went to eat my dinner, so now It's already 9.20!!!! CRY! What kind of week is this! I have FOUR tests! :( I thought the school said they will keep to max. 3 tests a week? What happened to the test and exams schedule that the school always put on eSpace for us to download last year?! Okay, if any teachers actually read this post, I know that I'm quite slow at doing things that's why I can't cope well but please! How can we have 4 tests when there's only 5 school days a week..

Blah, this post is ultra random. You can ignore it.


Okay...today's gonna be an ultra busy day.

• Chemistry Practical
• Read Physics Notes
• Do physics Assignment 1
• Math notes exercist until pg 55.
• Chinese Zuowen
• Revise Math
• Revise Physics
• English Exe
