I'VE MOVED!
BUHBYE ADOLESCENCE-!
CLICKCLICK :D
Heee I am feeling so carefree right now, thinking about what I should be doing this afternoon, when Mega SIA is due in less than a week's time. I guess I have sort of learnt to let myself relax, though I have this feeling this is not an appropriate time to because I am supposed to be working really hard for it [seeing how this project stands 30% of the overall score for GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY AND LANGUAGE ARTS].
But having completed and handed in ALL [well, all the important ones at least] the homework that I owed the teachers, you have no idea how relieved I am. BECAUSE, the knowledge that you have assignments overdue IS NOT A GOOD THING. You get guilty and paranoid [wondering when the teacher is going to announce to the whole class that you still have not handed in (insert assignment name) and that you will be getting a 0 as a result], and then the angelic part of you will go: Yo! Don't you intend to finish up your work? Your score will suffer if you don't!
After that the devilish side of you will rebutt: AIYA, it's okay, you still have what, ONE hour to do it!
And, as expected, I ALWAYS succumb to the persuasion of the devil and not do anything.
BLEAH.
I don't think anyone might have realised this, but I am turning into a really naughty girl. I haven't beem doing ANY work diligently, and I spent most of the time copying assignments /:
SOOOOO, from today onwards, I shall:
- Stop using the computer the whole day doing God-knows-what, leaving all my homework to the eleventh hour
- Do my work diligently [which includes stop copying people's assignments even if they offer their work to me to do so]
- And stop succumbing to the devil inside me :D
Right, I am currently in the library! Hee have just managed to, with great difficulty, complete the comprehension passage that was given out yesterday. Since I wasn't in school the day before, I had lots to catch up. But I realised that Sandy and Liang Hui were as slow as me, even though they were given an ENTIRE HOUR to do it. Haha, I am fast!
And Sandy is equally fast.
Because right now, Sandy and I are currently blogging, while Liang Hui is trying to find a redundant word in her summary writing so that she can finish it up with 160 words, which is the word limit that we are given :D
Okay, I am supposed to leave this comfortable place with free computers and air-condition for Science very soon because WE ARE SUPPOSED TO PRESENT OUR ATOMIC STRUCTURE TO THE WHOLE CLASS! AHH I am getting the jitters already.
Oh shucks, the bell.
Woohoo! Current location: Lianghui's house :D
Right. I woke up early this morning to come all the way here for the purpose of finishing up the Science atomic structure THING, that is sadly due on Tuesday. And right now, since there's nothing much I can really do while we are waiting for the clay to dry so that we can proceed to painting them, I shall just take this time to blog.
The three of us [i.e. Sandy, Lianghui and me] went to Mac D's for breakfast in the morning because I was, well, hungry, and Lianghui was craving for Sausage Egg muffin. As I was already at her house at the time we decided to have breakfast outside, the both of us walked to Junction 8 to meet up with Sandy, who kindly helped us to get seats since she was there early :D And sadly, I was unable to finish my share, so I wasted my favourite Sausage Egg muffin. Blah, so wasteful /:
After that, as we had to get the stuffs for the making of our structure, we wanted to go to Popular, but it turned out that it only opened at TEN THIRTY, and it was only NINE FORTY-FIVE when we got there.
SOOOO. We had to sit outside of Popular, ON THE FLOOR, and basically stone, until the bookshop finally opened its door for us. And I tell you, my butt was hurting like mad because the floor was simply too hard for comfort, and I couldn't exactly walk properly during the course of time while we were shopping for the items that we needed for the project.
And in the book store, man, the three of us weren't able to decide on the things that we should be buying, as we did not exactly have a rough idea of what we are going to do [yes, it's last minute work again] and we wasted a total of ONE hour there. I was so pissed, I walked away without waiting for the both of them because I wanted to get things done and over with haha. The two of them, however, decided to play a trick on me by running to the escalator while I wasn't noticing because they know very well that I am not familiar with Junction 8, having only been there for about ten times. And the duration of each time is only about an hours or so??
So yeah. But nice Sandy decide to slow down and walk with me, leaving Lianghui alone! HA!
And while the both of us were walking past the CD shop, I realised that I Not Stupid Too is out in stores already! Both in VCD and DVD format! I am so going to get it! And you people should too! It's seriously a nice movie not to be missed (:
I sound like a salesgirl, but whatever.
After God-knows-how long, we finally got back to Lianghui's house and started on the making of the structure. I had to make these small balls of approximately the same size with the clay that we bought from Popular and oh my gosh, I really hate clayyyyyyy!
Grahh! It's sticky, gooey and smelly and washing your hands that is plagued with clay can choke up the basin as well! See how destructive clay can be??
Thanks to it, the water in Lianghui's basin refuses to drain away. So right now, the basin in Lianghui's bathroom toilet has milky residue in it /:
And oh! While we were working on the clay, I thought of another IQ question to test Lianghui:
Me: Between 1kg of feather and 1kg of brick, which one is heavier?
Lianghui: Brick lorh.
Sigh. I seriously have no comments xD
And hmm.. that's all that has happened so far for today, so till next time! :D
[Edit]
The Princess Diaries Seven Heaven is out in stores already! AHHHHHHH xD
[/Edit]
Now that I am feeling far more calm than I was in school, I guess it would be safe for me to post without breaking down or anything. Haha.
Art was really fun today [yes, I can't eve believe that I am saying this] because all we had to do were make some finishing touches to our sunset scene and [not trying to flatter myself here,] but our work looks reallyreallyreally nice! Haha but this piece wouldn't have been completed [and look as nice] without Sandy, Lianghui and CHEOGNG YINGHUI!! xD
Oh yeah, we also learnt about two famous artists who used textures in their paintings, which is what we are supposed to be doing in our varoius scenes. I forgot the name of the first artist, seeing as how I have never heard of him before today's lesson. But his art works were really awesome, and very detailed. I personally like the one in which he painted his garden with manymany flowers and her daughter :D
And the other artist is none other than Vincent Van Gogh. I really pity this guy I tell you. Not only is he a bit, well, mentally unstable, died early, but also, while he was still alive and living, only one person ever bought his work. And what do you know? His brother was the one who bought it, lying to Van Gogh that someone else did.
Sigh. That poor guy. He even cut his ear off. Tsk.
Alright, enough about his sad life..
We spent Chinese lesson writing yi lun wen because we weren't able to persuade Mdm Cheong to forget about it, with her being really firm about her stand today. Haha and so during that whole hour, I was doing nothing but writewritewrite. /:
Got back Geography test after that! Am quite disappointed with my marks because they were penalised because of careless mistake - SPELLING ERROR. Pfft! But other than that, all were fine.
LOL, continued with yi lun wen during CME. And I managed to finish it during lunch so I was free (:
Was quite surprised upon receiving Science paper during Science after lunch. I actually did okay when I thought I totally blew it! Serena did better, by only a mark more though. Haha and the both of us actually spelt testosterone as testerone!
And lost one mark each for that -.-
Haha oh well.
My gosh, the Council interview just ended and I am all alone in class finding it hard to calm myself down.
And I don't see why. I mean, I have told lots of people that I am not keen on being a Student Councillor because I want to lead a simple and non-advanturous Secondary school life with no hiccups whatsoever. I want a smooth-sailing four years in Nanyang and I thought I was sure that I would be giving a no-no sign when the panel of Councillors and teachers ask me questions as to whether or not I would like to hold the position of a Councillor. Because being a Student Councillor would mean lots of commitment of time to Council work and stuffs like that. And knowing myself, who often does last-minute work and cry over failures, Council job just doesn't seem to be my cup of tea. But after loads of thinking before the interview, and the disappointment that I am feeling now for pretty much screwing up the interview, it kind of made me realised that part of me DO want to be a Student Councillor. And who wouldn't?
So right now, having gone through the interview, I am still comtemplating as to whether or not I should consider taking up the post as a Student Councillor. I mean, yeah, I do want to hold a leadership post in Nanyang [which is going to make me look wa-ay good on my resume] and besides, being a councillor might be fun. I mean, you get to organise events and activities for the school and people just look up to you. AND you get to contribute to the school, repaying the school for the education that it has provided you and moulding you into what you are today.
But why anyone would wish to experience circumstances whereby he/she has to sacrifice lots of sleep to finish up work [not only academic-wise, but Council-wise as well] is beyond me.
And right now, with this huge workload and CCA trainings and all that, I don't see how I am going to be able to cope if I was added with a burden of being a leader of the school, who has duties to attend to, proposals every now and then to complete, you know, things like that.
And sacrificing recesses/lunches for meetings??
Hmmmmmmmm.
Advice, anyone?
[Edit]
Okay, maybe I am worrying too much. I haven't even gotten back the Council interview results yet! For all you know, I won't even be able to get through it, let alone participate in the election. Right?
[/Edit]
Whoots! I am finally free from the wrath of common tests for this term! :D
I won't have to get so stressed up during lessons and be all anxious all day long until after the June holidays. No mugging also means more sleep! Haha this so great :D
Today started off terribly because having slept at only 12 plus night and staying up late for the past few days to study for all the horrible tests, I just couldn't keep my eyes open. Yet, at the same time, butterflies were flying in my tummy so the feeling that I was experiencing was awful. And having Math did not make things better. I just couldn't concentrate, when I am so worried about History test which was just right after that. I was torn between wanting to do the sums that Ms Teng asked me to do, and studying my History notes to further prepare myself. Guess I wasn't able to come to a conclusion because I sort of stoned the whole hour through.
After the gruelling hour of Math, Ms Koh came in and went through with us, for the last time, the format of the answers that we should follow. And then my gosh it was the test! I am not allowed to disclose much about the test right now because not all classes have sat for it yet so I shall keep my mouth shut. But I would say it was quite alright, [so-so, as Liu Chang says]. I was able to answer the questions using the information that I have studied, though I am not sure if they are correct. But what remains is that I am free! And seriously, that's all that I am concerned about right now (: I will just have to deal with the marks later.
Hahahaha OM was great fun. We did spontaneous questions [SP] today, even though Mr Goh had promised to take us out of school for lunch because he owes us a treat. But being the understanding people that we are, we decided to forgive him. LOL. And we didn't really mind his breaking-of-promise because it was quite interesting and enjoyable to do SP and we didn't mind doing them again.
And Mr Goh that spastic guy.. He went to sprinkle water all over us right at the end of the entire period! Say what: I give you water of blessings! [Something similar to that.]
My God. Have you ever seen a more childish teacher?? LOL :D
And I found out that 206 is very persuasive, after we managed to talk Mdm Cheong into bring us to the library [to slack], when we were supposed to be writing composition today. Hee.
We are cool! HAHA.
At the library, Serena, Limmin, Serene, Larissa and I held a little meeting :D And it was quite interesting when we, I don't remember why, suddenly went into the topic of childhood and were sharing the funny incidents that we experienced as reallyreally young children. Hahaha and Qianwen was able to open the fridge at the age of three when her older sister, who was 3 years older than her, couldn't! Hahaha how amazing is that? And I told them I had this wierd obessesion with phones when I was 2 and how my mom had to beat me to get me to stop playing with the phone.. Hahaha really, it was really kinda cute :D
And that reminds me the time Jordan/Joshua [I have no idea which one] dialled 999 and told the policeman that his brother wanted to kill him when all they were doing were playing with each other and Aunty Amy almost got into trouble just because of her son's playfulness.. /:
I miss being an innocent and carefree child ):
We didn't get back our Geography test today, because some other classes have not taken it, again. But the good news is that an announcement by Mrs Amy told that the lowest score attained from our class is 15! Haha so no matter what score I get, I will still be assured an A1! Alright! :DDDDD
Having Council Interview tomorrow! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I became a Cleric today :D

Science was as difficult as can be. Poooot! Sigh, I would be really glad if I can pass it; I don't want to fail!
Nay, scratch that, I cannot AFFORD to fail!!
Chinese would have been okay if I didn't not miss out this particular 6-mark question at the front! Paoooo. I didn't know that there was this last question for the first comprehension of the paper because I thought that since the first two questions were already worth three marks each, there wouldn't be another one that requires a complete answer. So I proceeded on to working on the paper. When I finally realised that I still had this last question left, which only happened after Lianghui gasped in horror beside me, making me wanting to make sure that I didn't do anything wrong, I only had enough time to write ONE sentence.. And that question is SIX marks for Pete's sake.
Freak.
Ahhhhh never mind, shall put that behind and focus what's important right now. I am studying History with Serena right now, on the phone, for about three hours already. My ear is hurting like Idontknowwhat and it is burning /:
I wonder how high my phone bill will hit this month since this isn't the first time I have been on the phone with my great pal studying. For HOURS.
I have no idea why but studying with Serena somehow works for me. No, works better. Like, I am able to understand and remember more things than I normally would with other people. And even though I don't think I did really well for Science today, the revision with Serena three times in a row really benefitted me a lot. And I wouldn't have known how to answer a single question if it weren't for her teaching :D
Thanks Serena! :DDDD
And of course, right now, the both of us are taking a break because it is nearly eleven already and our eyes can hardly open. So I intend to go to sleep as soon as I am done with this post even though I am not confident about taking History the next day.
But the thing is: I don't think anyone is.
Pray hard everybody :D
Okay.
I know I said I am on hiatus, but I can't help but want to come post something here because I can't stand having posts missing for a longlong time. Soooooo, I am taking a little of my study time to jot down the happenings of my day in school, before I get a relapse of STM and forget about everything that took place.
Right, today was really fun. HAH! Two fun days in a row, guess my awfully dull life is looking up! Hee :D Hopefully it remains this way.
Pleasepleasepleaseplease! /:
So yeah anyway, today started off with PCCG, during which we spent the entire time working on our Earth Day project, that is creating this table cloth for one of the longlong tables in the canteen. Instead of just letting the three people appointed do the job while the rest of us slack around, we decided to have each and everyone of us design a piece of cloth before putting them together like a quilt of some sort, so that everyone or us plays a part and to ensure the two people in-charge [Jocelyn and Katherine] do not die of overworking. And it's really rare for everyone of us to come together to work on something as a class, especially when what is required to be done is to SEWING, something so feminine. Haha - and *NOTE* I seriously can't sew!
I must say that our quilt thing is kinda looking good even though it's still in bits and pieces but hopefully, we can win! Yeah!
For some reasons unknown to me, I dreaded Malay, which was right after PCCG. Malay's fun, interesting and we are being taught by a really nice teacher, Cikgu Hanim, but let's just say that I am finding myself totally a little lost during Malay lessons because I don't exactly put in a lot of effort to understand the Malay words and remember them because well, I have more urgent stuffs like projects and revision to do. So when you are lost and the teacher has the tendency to call people up to answer questions on stuffs learnt during the last lesson, it's not much of a surprise for him/her to hope for it to end AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, yeah? And that was the mentality that I had during the one hour of Malay. And sadly, I was unlucky enough to be called upon. But thanks to the people sitting around me, who hushed the answer while the teacher is not noticing, I was able to answer the question and escape unscath (:
One hour of Home Econs, on the other hand, was really funnnnn! And I was hoping it didn't have to end so soon.. Today's lesson was about Table Etiquette and my oh my, it was really interesting and YES, FUNNY! Haha I never knew that Mrs Lee could be so fun, since the only well, eh.. more elderly teacher I know whose lessons are interesting is Ms Koh. But other than that elderly teachers = boring :D
But Mrs Lee, like Ms Koh, is definitely an exception as well :DD
We learnt about what each dress code meant and I learnt that black tie meant the males have to wear tux, while the ladies wear gowns (:
Andandand:
Mrs Lee: So girls, what is the first thing that they serve in a posh restaurant??
[Among the many murmurs of bun/bread/loaves] Haidee: PEANUTS!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I couldn't stop laughing :D
And many more but I clearly do not remember.
And then, sad to say, History was horribly boring after this interesting period of Home Econs. Not that it is normally, I mean History, in my eyes, is a really fascinating subject which allows me to understand the past (: But no matter how hard I forced myself to keep my eyes open, I still succumbed to the dozing-off streak, that I am so prone to these days, during the last fifteen minutes of the lesson.
Drama was quite okay, did some cat-walking! Haha, with different expressions.. Was so embarrassing! xD We then proceeded to doing some improvisation, which ended with us laughing hysterically, especially during Lianghui's group performance.. Haha she was embracing and kissing the TOILETBOWL! xDDDDD
Okay, got to mug. Sighhhhhh ):
Hee guess I worried too much last night. The test was alright, and manageable. It was only the pain from my right wrist which sort of bothered me while I was answering the questions because halfway through the test, I heard a sound between snap and crack coming from my wrist. But other than that, it was okay and I am quite confident of passing :D
So the hard work paid of. And of course, the last-minute cramming of information from the worksheets which I left under my desk in the morning helped a lot too because HA, THE QUESTION FROM THE WORKSHEET CAME OUT IN THE TEST.
Yes, so remember to go study the worksheets that have been assigned to you the next time there's a next geography test. It helps. It really does.
Now, really.
Hmmmmmmmmmm. [Suffering from STM]
Oh yes, Ms Teng was absent from school today. Not sure why because we were given a worksheet to complete so I was too busy to think about it.
And I have this bad feeling that assigning work to us didn't prevent us from causing noise pollution during that one hour of Math. But the worksheet was really funnn to do! Hahaha I was acting spastic the whole time with Sandy while we attempted the questions. Doing work with Sandy will never be boring (: And I was really smart okay, I worked out an answer for this particular question that no one around me knows xD
I seldom have disclaimers for my posts because this is my blog where I express my opinions. HOWEVER, for people whose sense of humour is completely nil, please, I am only JOKING. So don't go around thinking I am this snobbish girl and start hating me alright? Thank you.
So moving on, it was OM after that! [Yes, I have no idea why I suddenly have such great enthusiasm for this project, I remember I used to show great detest for this, well uh, THING.] Hee we spent the whole time gossiping about this *AHEM*particular*AHEM* school. And it was HILARIOUS. My gosh, I couldn't stop laughing, especially when Mr Goh, [YES, MR GOH], joined in!! Haha my tummy is still hurting AND I almost got a jaw-cramp just now from all that laughing. HAHAHAHA :DDD
AND I AM ANGRY AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WE STILL HAVE TO COMPLETE THE REPORT FOR MR GOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SIGHHHHHHHHH
And I thought I am done with OM.
But ah well, to speak the truth, I really enjoyed OM, apart from the frequent seldom fits of frustration and irritation for not being able to work things out and the deadline nearing, stuffs like that. So, maybe writing the report would bring back the wonderful memories and valueable lessons that I may have gained from this experience. And I believe that there would be loads. There have been several times when our meetings at Lianghui's house were filled with laugher and hysteric [whichever] and I believe all 7 of us enjoyed the times we spent together and treasured one another's company despite the disagreements and anger at one another for trival matters that I won't be making an effort to list here (:
I might be exaggarating here, but I can't imagine life without OM for the next half of the year that is ahead of me.
So writing the report would count as reminisence. It could be fun. :D
After that it was Chinese and I really, for once, did not dread lesson today. Could be because lesson was held at the computer lab but mainly I think it's because of the degree of coolness Mdm Cheong's powerpoint was. It didn't even look like a powerpoint. It was more of a website to me, with hyperlinks EVERYWHERE and all those cute moving Pokemon pictures just brightened up my day, well, even more. :D
We spent Language Arts recapping all that we have learnt so far this year. And part of it was dedicated for our self-revision since Mrs Tan insists that there ain't anymore things to teach. Well, until we are due to start on Romeo and Juliet. Haha and I spent that time sort of revising for Science quiz that we happened to be taking right after.
And hard work, ONCE AGAIN, paid off because I did pretty well for the quiz this time :D Scored 7/8 and I am really glad. Because I didn't fail! HAHAHA
Went home with Pamela because I am still on medication which can cause drowsiness so I have been advised not to attend training until I finish my course. Unless, of course, I want to risk dozing off while running warm-up or something. Haha.
Then realising that I didn't have my keys with me, I went to Pamela's house to seek refuge for the whole afternoon till about 7 in the evening. And I really enjoy being with Pamela, even if all we do is sit and talk or yell at each other (:
Today was filled with fun, happiness and laughter. Hopefully, the days to come would be just as wonderful, if not better..
And I can't stand people who tries to read what you are typing on your computer when you don't even know her. Don't I even deserve some privacy. Irritating person. And I can't believe that she's in the same level as me. STOP STARING LA. EEYER.
Wednesday, April 19, 2006
I have tried my best to study for it for the whole of toray when I should be resting, being sick and all that. And to make myself feel better, I kept telling myself that I have done my best and how well I fare in this test would repend on how well I can recall the facts that I have learnt and how efficient I am in putting my contextual knowledge into good use during the test itself.
But there's this horrible thought that keeps bugging me and it is making me really worried and flustered.
I mean so what if I have memorised the whole chunk of information from the powerpoint? I wasn't even there when she went through the THREE AND ONLY* worksheets that we have on this topic of Weather and Climate because I had to leave for ACSI for OM Spontaneous Problems. And for all you know, those questions from the worksheets may very well come out in the test. And that was EXACTLY what happened in the last test that I took. A particular question in this worksheet I was too lazy to attempt came out in the paper and I was totally caught unprepared!
And as expected, I did badly in it.
So you see, I am really afraid that history will repeat itself but as much as I would like to prepare myself for the test tomorrow by diligently attempting the qusetions in the worksheets that were assigned, I left the worksheets AND THE ANSWERS under my desk in class so there is nothing that I can do. I am so frigging disgusted with myself.
Plus despite gobbling down 4 horribly big pills last night and sleeping for a total of 12 hours, my fever has not totally subsided and I am feeling all weak and fragile. I am not in the state of mind to cram anymore stuff into my head [though I doubt there is even any space left but that's beside the point]. What I am concerned about is this: What if what I missed out so happens to be in the test??
Then I would totally hade myself for having feverat the wrong time.
Why do all these things happen to me?
*Sounds wierd but you get the picture.
