hello!

first post in ages! :D

promos are finally over and now its PW time! things are like coming one after the other, we don't really have any rest time actually. this whole week my sleep time is all jumbled up, with only a few hours of sleep everyday cos of PW. :( but its ok it's ending real soon!

oh after promos we had 2 days of sabbats, which was really fun. but too short i must say. first day was pop vocals, which was really interesting and fun :D it was enjoyable listening to ppl sing (: but the individual singing part was scary though :/ 2nd day I had cooking and baking! quite tiring but fun! and got to eat nice food :D oh and there were 2 dogs running around the plce lah, which was super scary, sigh. and i got to drink koi! :D :D

anw, now its back to school, with return of scripts and lessons etc. this whole week has been really drama, with ups and downs. results part was the down, school in general was the up. (:
really really felt that i didn't perform up to standard, the feeling is really horrible. but i'll make use of the holidays to work harder (:
i shall console myslef with the thought that i usually don't perform well (like in sec 1 to 3, my results were so-so) but usually the last school year i'll be able to do ok (: (like in sec 4) of course this comes with alot alot of hard work though. ok so jiayou! its not the end of the world!

hmm recently i attended the H3 briefing, hmm don't think i can take it lah. and i don't want to risk my H2s, which are currently ahemmmm... yeah (: oh yeah and recently also attended the NEW scholarship briefing with jolene and celine. it sounds really interesting with the intership thing thing (: and we'll have to do a project and present apparently. i think it'd be good exposure. (: and the thing is that we'll get paid! (Y)

ohh and another thing! mdm lau is leaving already :( she is one teacher whom i really like alot, cos she is really sincere in her teaching and she treats every one of her student really very well. a super caring teacher too :D although she was only with us for a few months, i can safely say she has impacted my life ALOT, and actually i feel very guilty towards her for not performing up to standard for chem. :( i rmb in the beginning, when she first came to our class, everyone was (secretly) making fun of her, cos LAU and LAO (she has lots of white hair cos she refuses to dye it haha) thinking bad i feel so mean :( anw hope she is happy and healthy always! :D

hellooooo! june holidays are here! :D just came back from malaysia family gathering a few days back! It was a really short stay but nevertheless fun (: oh and there's mentoring camp coming up tmr! and campfire up on thurs! really hope it wouldn't rain cos it'll be such a waste :O really pray hard! amanda and i and our comm planned so hard for this campfire, hope that everything'll turn out fine! anw i'm quite looking forward to the camp tmr and hope everything turms out fine! go THE INCREDIBLES :D!

oh and there'll also be health and fitness courses the whole of next week (well, almost). quite looking forward to it, hope it'll be fun :D and quite a lot of YLEP stuff to do too, plannings and meetings etc, but i think it'll all be very fruitful and worthwhile :D

but other than these i guess my holiday will be spent mostly on schoolwork. i really need to work really hard this holiday, cannot afford to slack :O i promised to turn over a new leaf! HAHA sounds abit weird but anws, jiayou!

suddenly had this inclination to blog again after 2 months although i seriously should be sleeping right now cos i have to wake up in like 6 hours time to go for a CCA CIP at woodlands. but anyway!

life has been tranquil (?) haha good lah (: although it can get really stressful sometimes with deadlines here and there, as well as projects and tutorials, AND PW. and my many other commitments like 2 ccas and mentoring, it is still quite manageable. (: hope to maintain status quo! or become even better!

had a few tests so far and i realized that tests and exams are scary. I'm seriously scared for my chem man! D: and i realized the importance of consistent revision and doing of homework. seriously.

anw just now we had GP tuition with the rest. i don't know but i feel happy going for gp tuition, although i don't really like gp, cos it's not my forte. but maybe its the blissful feeling of meeting up with old classmates and teachers (: the feeling of familiarity perhaps? and the happiness you get from the random chats (: haha :D

OH and on friday i had 5 items and 2.4km all on the same day! and i'm happy with my results yay GOLD :D but hwachong is seriously slack in their assessment compared to ny. like seriously! but anyways yay for GOLD :D

mentoring so far has been fun but sometimes very tiring cos it's hard to convince the kids to do their work when they are like so "I DON'T WANT. FULL STOP" kind of attitude. aiyah but i think i sort of get the hang of how to deal with them already so it's better now, and my mentees are cute :D ok well, not all lah but most of them are cute (: oh and the weekly tutoring sessions too at kr, which is much more relaxing than mentoring since it just involves sitting comfortably in an aircon room teaching math. haha!

oh and health and fitness is quite fun, got to know some awesome ppl and i love the activities we do too, so i guess it's going great :D and we're having a cca tee yay :D thanks haidee and yilin! (:

this coming monday going to rubin's house to do econs ILP hope we can finish and all will be well. (:

and yeah my weekly vocal lessons, yes i'm still taking haha (: it's been quite fun and oh yah my evaluation aka exam in front of an audience was indeed memorable :D actually i think it's quite fun and not that scary. (: and well i passed and yay i'm now off to stage 2! now learning about song interpretation and how to sing with expression, which is sometimes quite dry cos it's somewhat like LA lessons where we interpret prose, but in this case its interpreting lyrics. haha but nevertheless it's fun lah :D and somewhat amusing!

ok i should seriously go and sleep now! byeeee!

UPDATEEE! :D

finally the long awaited march hols break! :D have been waiting for it to come since lessons officially started. school has been really busy and i can feel the increased workload, now sec 4 seems like nothing. i guess life's like that. you'll have to experience something worse before you can finally appreciate what you have now. (:

anw! i got into YLEP :D and health and fitness.

this march hol also doesn't really seem like a hol (although i really appreciate this more than school) cos everyday i'm going out for one thing or another. like from mon to wed got project gcube thing (; it was fun but tiring. (: and thurs and friday i'm gonna be facil for another YLEP camp (disability challenge). hope it'll be fun though! :D then sat the usual GP tuition and vocal lessons on sunday. (: woah packed life i have. and not forgetting the pile of work to be done man.

ok gtg bathe now cos later have to go out for meet the ppl session thing, until 11pm leh :O

HAPPY NEW YEAR/CNY EVERYONEEE! :D actually this year's cny wasn't as exciting/fun/fruitful, and it was sad that we ran out of ppl to visit on the 2nd day. ended up doing tutorials at home. oh but the celebrations in school, selina's birthday karaoke after that and OG dinner/outing/stargazing was fun! <3

ok i've decided to take some time off to do a little bit of update. well life is getting busier and busier and more school-like. next week, stay back everyday after school for one thing or another. this weekend, pile of homework to clear. :(

anw in JC we now have the lecture-tutorial system and classroom-less system, which needs a little getting used to, cos i miss having a classroom of our own. and YAY i'll be going back to nanyang next week, like finally! :D

anw i think these 2 JC years will be a fufilling experience, amidst all the stress and work and all.

oh and ARES won fac shield, WHOO :D actually they shouldn't have announced it so early in the morning when everyone is like so dead and half-awake. or else we would have cheered louder. haha :D

must choose cca by monday :O i still don't know what to put. :(

OH AND HAPPY THINKING DAY! (i miss guides D:)

ohman i realize this post is super fragmented. k, bye!

helloooo everyone! orientation has officially ended, yah, sad i know :/ why is it so short!! haha to think that i initially thought orientation was too long and even dreaded it. aiyah but now i miss it :/ esp the days spent with OG cos it was super fun. :/ not that my class is bad, it's very fun too, but i think my class is scary cos made up of very very smart ppl. ohman stresss!! :3 ok but i shall convert this stress to motivation, MOTIVATION!! :D haha!

anyway, these few days will be lectures and alot of free time in between, really slack! and alot of fac dance practices! YAY ARES IS GOING TO WIN POP YEAH! :D i love our fac dance, it's super cool! :D like, really! like, seriously! :D although i'm a really bad dancer. really.

ok, and i still don't really know what cca to join. :O but i shall go try out health and fitness club this wed. and in case you are thinking what i'm thinking, NO, health and fitness club is not tuff(is it this spelling?) club. yep! we do yoga, cool stuff! :D aiyah and maybe i'll try YELP or mentoring club too haha (:

erm erm what else... oh i'm not going back to malaysia this CNY. staying in singapore! yay gambling hahaha! i love it lah! :D ok looking very forward to CNY! and going back to NY to see teachers too! i miss them loads man! :/ and i want to go out with 404-ers too, cos it's like been a long time since i last chatted with them! ahh i miss them! :/ cos nowadays it seems that we are doing everything in our CTs or OGs, and i hardly even get to see my sec 4 friends :/ let's go for kbox soon? haha! :D

erm what else what else... i think that's all for now. byee!

2 days break! YAY :D

after spending one week in hwa chong, i realized that hwa chong, or maybe it's just the college side, is very small, not as big as i thought haha. (:

anw! i finally got my hc uniform yesterday! yay! not that i love it very much, just the exhilaration of getting a new set of uniform in place of my old holey ny one i guess! :D anw! after smtp test yesterday, yeeting kaiqing selina szeling and i went to beauty world to get our uniforms! SAW ADRAIN PANG AND CHENG SHU CHENG FILMING! they were like ng-ing alot of time cos from the time we went there to the time we went home they were still filming the same scene i think. wow it seems so tiring! anw, we went to the (spooky) toilet to try the uniforms and we realized yeeting looks like a zookeeper in the uniform HAHA! and selina looks like some liu2 ji2 xue2 jie3! and no i don't look like i'm from hwa chong primary (like there is such a thing) selina! :/ haiz, selina was like saying kaiqing and i look like we're from HC primary. HA HA HA. :3

anw, after that we went to mac to eat ice cream! yay yum yum mcflurry :D

oh back to the smtp test, wah it was horrible, but somewhat expected lah. since they're gonna choose some talented students, the qns cannot be that easy right... haiya but i'm leaving everything to fate now :D whee~ can get in good lor, cannot then nvm! whee~

orientation starting on thurs! can't wait for the o level ppl to come in, can see if there'll be anymore familiar faces! 2 more weeks to play then REAL WORK SETS IN. :( so must treasure it! (:

btw i just realized facebook is not going to charge the whatever fee. and to think i really believed it! :O

i realized it's very boring to stay at home with nothing to do. :/ btw yesterday cao lao shi (from nanyang) called me at my hp and told me to write a recommendation for ji lao shi for the most inspiring chinese teacher award. and just now as i was writing, i realize how nice my ny teachers are and i miss them! :( hc teachers don't seem as nice, (well i may be biased cos i only know them for like 1 week?) but they seem very fierce and stern and serious. :/ well maybe not all the teachers are like that, ahh, like the econs teacher! ok just be positive :)

decided to change blogskin cos i got bored of my old one. but this one is of a different style-- it's simple and... ELEGANT hahaha! yay :D

school this past week has been rather slack and well, good :D i love the short school hours and the somewhat interesting activities they planned for us (: yesterday some random lady suddenly walked up to us and started asking us what we thought of the IP activities, luckily we all gave positive answers cos she later revealed she was like the DEAN who planned all the IP activities for us! was super shocked then cos she totally didn't look like it, i'm so sorry but she really looked like some random student's parent looking for her child or something because of her dressing, haha!

anw! this week has been briefings, math lectures, diagnostic tests etc. The english diagnostic test 2 we had yesterday was quite terrible i think cos it was like more than 1 option could be the possible answer, totally like the new south wales kind, ahh :/ but i thought the essay one was rather okay.

Oh yesterday we had some bio talk by 2 alumni members! was rather intersting, or at least more interesting than i thought it would be, mainly cos the speakers were were animated and thus, entertaining. :D they shared with us their expereinces in their fields of work and more importantly, to encourage us to take bio. and i was also quite inspired and motivated by them to take up a career in the field. :D yay a scientist? or some R&D person? but definitely not a doctor. cos i'm scared of blood and all other gross stuff. yes. (:

oh and let me talk about the canteen food! not that bad as what i heard from seniors, probably because they changed vendors? yah infact i quite like their food, zha jiang mian! :D

ok the weekends are here and time for a break! supposed to go out with eunice and minjie tmr but aiyah eunice suddenly got some workshop until 5 so now everything's still unfinalized. but hope to see them soon! :D ok i shall spend the weekend studying, or rather, browsing through science stuff!

oh and something really random, but i am looking forward to buying new school uniforms and new school tees! ahh :D probably because i'm sick and tired of my hole-y ny uniforms that make me look like i've been bitten by vampires.

hello! :D today was the first day of JC! erm, sort of better than expected cos the day ended really early, at 12pm! i guess life will be good until after chinese new year cos after that is when lessons really start. :/ anw! today i left home with my mum and siblings and reached ny bus stop at 6.45am, so super early i know. then met meihui and went to serene centre macs (to think we thought we were going to island creamery at 7 in the morning!) haha! then had mini class gathering there cum breakfast before going to school at 8am! then the day started off with deputy p's briefing and ENGLISH DIAGNOSTIC TEST! D: wrote an essay and i realized my handwriting's really horrible and wriggly and curly now. D: after that was break then we went to try the canteen food. portion super big, at least for me. :/ then went to tour the school a little before we went back to audi for math lecture on algebra. not too bad lah, cos it's all revision stuff. (: time passed super fast then it was time to go home already!

this one week is IP activities-- all quite slack one cos we get to go to school later than usual, abt 8 to 9am :D then it's all lectures/lessons and diagnostic tests! oh and there's gonna be some science forum too, quite cool! :D

eh btw i don't know what cca to join, seriously D: nvm, shall see again on cca exhibition day.

ok bye! :D
