today has been fun! well, in the later part of the day that is.
was debating in the morning whether or not to go for training. yes, it has come to the point where i'm debating on whether to attend training or not. well, yeah, i did go for training. definitely cos of 4 important people and cos.... well.. netball just means too much. to give up netball, its like giving up alll hope. any way, training today was good! mm didn't come! and so we did our own stuff. passes, drills, full court. sec1s did passes all the way. tried doing square ball with them. didn't work. just not up to standard yet. got pushed on the table by 2 people. hurt so much! so skip to after training. wanted to go to ikea with yoges for lunch. in the end, a lot of people went. jacob and i were the only seniors. the rest were sec2s? haha! sat with yoges, jacob, julia. bought spagetti, kids one. with potato salad(apparantly no one else likes it) and mushroom soup. the soup we shared. it was nice and we talked and joked... and went a bit off course... hehe! strayed....any way, after that, yoges left. then we walked round ikea for a while before leaving. went home, bathed. got bored, sat down to watch harry potter dvd. half blood prince.didn't get to finish as had to meet ka onn downstairs at 4.30. so met her, went to tiong, did some test papers. got scones for dinner! had amath tuition. 3 hours! but two breaks! yay! and halfway, sonia came in! yay!!!!! she didn't join, just came in to say hi then left.went with parents to abc market after that for their dinner before going home.

tmr will be YOG training and going out! yay!!! looks like i've been going out everyday. monday with parents, tuesday with felicia and shareen, today with teammates, thursday with friends. then friday.. hehe, stay at home!

so the past twodays have been great!
monday
parents took leave! yay! had training in the morning. i don't care who reads this blog already. just going to say that training is like a waste of time. go there, don't do much. like no more spirit to train already. why am i still going? what else? netball has always been a main priority, like a part of life. no netball, means no life? well, i'm going to be changing that very soon. maybe goodbye to the netball maniac side... its too hard to put into words. so ran 4 rounds. then parents fetched. went home, bathed. went to great world to eat jap buffet. it was great!! love the food there! can go again????? went to vivo to walk around and watch a show. percy jackson and the lightning thief. it was okay... .went home, just relaxed and tried to upload videos and pics again! takes a long time! finally finished everything by nighttime. had a great day with family!

tuesday
woke up early. called shareen. arranged to meet. went to vivo, waited for her, then went to douby ghout to meet felicia. walked to cathy to get tickets for dear john.walked to plaza sing to get lunch. ate at KFC. zinger meal, with cheese fries. it was spicy! OMG! haha! yeah. i find that spicy. so really can't take spicy stuff. or chilli hot stuff. went to watch the show. it was a love story! OPS!! regret watching it a bit although it was a great show. the plot, a bit off. but the acting and all was good. went to tiong after that. to go for tuition. 6-9. tuition was fun! emath is easy. we strayed off topic in class. whilst doing work! then ka onn's dad drove zhang hao and i home! thanks! so that's all!!

other pics will be posted up at a later time. too many pics already. or go to facebook to see!
hope that the new friends made at the camp will continue to remain as friends. the people whom we talked to, hope our friendship will strenghten. and the bonds we have are no broken. also got to know more about others. and got closer to group of friends in class. all the things done were memorable. all the pics and videos will remain valuable. those that were close to... and that means alicia, christabelle, chloe, and a lot more!

thanks a lot! to all my friends, who accompanied me and all the others through this journey, our last camp together in sec school. in stc.was never left alone at all. never felt left out al all during the whole camp. because of a special group of people. well, maybe two special groups of people. the close friends, karthika, janice, jiayi, elspeth and xiulin, and room mates! alicia, christabelle, chloe. during activities and all, close friends were there, at night, room mates were there. and also to the class, thanks for the memorable experience we all shared. 3a rocks!! winners of sec3s!! got a medal each!!!! yay!!!!

EFL at pulau ubin. day 1
woke up at 5.45. got ready, ensured everything was packed. then went to school to assemble. it was raining!! what a way to start our trip! went to the hall and we took pics! a lot of pics! went to the bus. sat with jiayi. karthika with elspeth behind, janice and xiulin behind them. jiayi and i watched POT on her phone and heard music before reaching the jetty. it was still raining and we got kind of wet. so we hurried to get our bags and went to the shelter. took boats to the pulau ubin. mr francis came with  us. we were the first to get on board, but not the first to reach. the boat was kind of slow. we weren't on time at all for the whole day.

but we went to the conference room and just sat there whilst we got introduced to our instructors by freddy foo. instructor IC. same as last year! our class has pinwen(he came in the first night, the day, he had some other stuff), cherlene and edwin. took a long time to remember their names. second day i think? longer then mummy and daddy! we went to do our flag.the rain stopped. and we planned for the flag and cheers. then it rained so we went to the shelter with two dogs underneath the table! so cute!! planned and all. did the flag. while some others did the cheers. took a long time where most of us strayed away, nothing to do. the dogs scare people by walking here and there under the table,. but they are so cute! went back to the conference hall to assemble. cheered and sang songs. by shannon!  had lunch. the food is nice! bento set! we gathered in the place after lunch to do more cheers and bumble bee cheer.miss is so much! as well as stomach headache! haha! and pinwen's donald duck! all from last year! then we had to go and pack our bags. for the overnight stay. no clothes or toothbrush. just day pack. file, stationery, torchlight, bottle.

assembled back and we had to plan for the route to take.planned and all. and had to find some stuff for bonus points too! group 8 was to go to 3 checkpoints, group 7 to two. edwin and ms koh followed us. it was 4 plus and we had to be back by 6. the campsite. so we walked and talked and took pics. then we walked and walked and we passed a sign that says no entre except vehicles. so we are clearly on  the wrong route. we just turned back and since we had no time, just walked to the campsite. was so tired. didn't carry the big haversack until almost to the end.

so we found a good spot to build our tent. but the sticks were broken, so we tried to fix them. but cannot! so had to abandone plan! two tents were up. waited for the other group. but their tents had no sticks! so only two tents! we got ready our cooking stuff and the van arrived with some tents, fuel and pinwen! yay! so we got the ready build tent. 6 of us all inside! so happy! we started cooking. noodles, hotdogs and baked beans. ate the baked beans first cos no need to cook. then the fire was so big!!! so elspeth, being the best cook, cooked for us! yay! thanks! and the noodles tasted so good!!!!! yay!! could not turn on the torch as it would attract insects. even without lights, insects came already. so no lights. until later. after eating, we went to the tent to arrange sleeping stuff. 6 bags, 6 of us. just enough space to turn!

then some people came to ask to help to move the stones so that tents can be build. so we moved the stones and some groups build the tents in darkness! got 6 tents finally! then cherlene said that can only have 5 tents and must sleep in room order! but we begged her, saying that room has 9 people, cannot fit!  so we could stick to our own arrangement. chloe came to join us cos only 5 tents! 7 people. very tight! got into our bags, talked a while, then had debrief before sleeping! no space to turn at all!


for chalet arrangements the next two nights, it was like janice and i in 303, elspeth and karthika in 305, jiayi in 307, xiulin in 309. our chalet, alicia, candice, cassandra, chanel, janice, chloe, christabelle. alicia, janice, chloe, christabelle and me on top! the rest at the bottom! happy with my room mates all so nice!!!

EFL at pulau ubin day 2
woke up at 6 something. well, woke up 3 times during the night. turned right and left, but not much space. 7 people in a tent! very squeezy. when woke up, everyone else was awake already. and were talking or sitting up. i think was the last to wake up in the morning! the rest left for the toilet. left chloe and i in the tent. laid down again. then someone can to flash torches into the tents to wake everyone up. first question ' why only two of you in the tent?' then edwin came and said, oh yeah, the rest asked to go toilet. cherlene came and asked the same question! finally the rest came back and we packed up! got our tent folded and all. was a bit slow. helped the rest. and then we had a long trek back to the campsite. talked and laughed. we walked as a big group.

went to the conference hall and waited and waited. then had time to brush teeth and change. no water in the chalet! so went to the sink outside to brush teeth. breakfast was good! played two games in the field. blow wing blow, and then captain something. the captain one... lasted to the end, when we just walked off cos it was a bit too long. then went to the beach to play the water game. caterpillar. we all sat in a straight line in our groups, then had to push together to get to the water. the front people got splashed, the back didn't. and then they complained. got really wet! had time to change and had lunch. water didn't work halfway and alicia got stuck inside with soap! used water bottles to help her. so didn't bath! had amazing race after that! we went round the campsite to do various stuff. group activities. had to throw golf balls into a hole, solve sudoku, pass bukets of water to fill a bigger bucket, did hands entaglement,carry cherlene on a bench, walk on two planks with 5 people, use a rope to lift a bucket with a ball inside to out of the circle and to sing some songs. all in sequence. took quite a while. had campfire prep. then wash up. some could bath first, some ate first. ate first. alicia got stuck in the toilet again! used bottles again! haha! OMG! and we went to the conference room to assemble after that.

did the night walk! had debrief. was the first class to do it. walked with jiayi. first pair. we went out of the campsite and mr francis followed us! he asked how to know where to go. we said to follow the green things. and we left him behind. we walked, jumped, skipped, laughed, talked! then reached some place with a bright white light. shannon was there. he flashed the torch twice at us. then asked if he was shannon. he said hi charmaine. hahahaha! so we continued and slowed down a bit. finally reached a big Y point. went to the left cos of another white light. we asked if they were instructors. and they said yes, come and join us. we were like, must continue on! then they said its the end point. we were like 'so fast!!!!' haha! it was nice and peaceful. and it was a straight road. at night, the forest seems to come alive, but it was a great experience. so sat there and talked for a while. then janice and xiulin came. they just walked pass us when we said hi. and walked faster! thye thought we were strangers so didn't stop. karthika came with elspeth and then chloe and sabrina behind. they ran! after a few more groups came, we walked further! sat there and waited for the rest. every time a group came, we tried to scare them! our class finally finished. and waited for the other classes. don't think3a was affected. but could hear screaming in the distance! the teachers were scaring the girls. according to them, some teachers lay on the floor and scared them, or hid in the bushes to scare them! haha! and we scared them at the end too! some people said' are they humans?' haha! sat there for a long time for everyone to come. talked a bit and then slept. woke up, walked back. then bathed. and in the room, 5 of us talked, played, ate! before sleeping at 12. got water and electricity already! tried to take a video but suddenly janice off the lights. so cannot.

friends mean so much....
they build the foundation of a happy school life...
they bring joy to life...
they bring laughter...
and happiness...
they bring fun....
and get rid of loneliness...
they understand you..
and help you...
in the best way that they can....
they lend you a shoulder to cry on..
they lend you a listening ear to your problems....
they are encouraging all the way...
they are there when you need them the most....
they are there to guide you along....
they are there to help you get over setbacks...
they are there to help you move on...
they are there on your worst days.... to push you to continue...
they make you feel wanted...
instead of feeling useless...
they are with you..
instead of using you...
that's what friends are for, and that's why they mean so much

thanks to all of you.. who have made my school life a happy, joyful and fruitful one... something made me realise that if i don't say it now... may never get a chance to say it any more. so thank you, for the help, support, encouragement and excitement. you all really mean a lot to me.....

just came across this song.. its in chinese, but with eng sub! a bit sad.. but very very nice!
peng you... youtube link

here are the lyrics
*Ze xie nian, yi ge ren



All these years, alone






Feng ye guo, yu ye zou


The wind has passed, the rain had gone






You guo lei, you guo cuo


These were tears, there were wrongs






Hai ji de jien chi shen me


Things we hold dear I still recall










Zhen ai guo, chai hui tong


If you've had true love, then you would know






Hui ji muo, hui hui shou


There is loneliness, there are goodbyes






Zhong you meng, always there is you






Zai xin zhong


In my heart










**Peng you yi shen yi chi zou


Friends walk this life together






Na xie ri zhi bu zhai you


Those days will not return






Yi ju hua, yi bei zhi


One word, one life






Yi shen ching, yi bei jiu


A lifetime relationship, a cup of wine










Peng You bu cheng gu tan gou


With friends you won't be lonely






Yi shen peng you, ni hui dong


Lifelong friends, you'd understand






Hai you shang, hai you tong


There are wounds, there is pain






Hai yao zou


Must go our separate ways






hai you wo


Always there is me

flag day group pic

some random pic

sunset sky!

the moon!!! in the evening! the sun was one side, the moon another. ps, its a real picture... not drawing or anything else.

today was flag day!! and it was so fun!!!

begin the day with being a bit late reaching school. brought a cake to school to celebrate Janice and Elspeth's birthday. sat at the iron tables near block D where there was some peace. finally everyone came. Karthika and Jiayi tried to light the candles. took videos of them. its on facebook. sooo funny!! some matches cannot be lighted up, some lighted up for a while, then went off before anything was done! and it took a while to get all the candles lighted up. well, the wind blew the flame away... so by the time we got to the song, only about one or two were still surviving. still, it was a great fun! ate the cake. 6 large pieces. biggest ones going to Janice and Elspeth! we rushed a little as we were late. cleared up and ran to the canteen. found that almsot everyone from 3a was in the canteen. got math test back and a flag day worksheet to do. went to the hall, got tins, got juniors and off we went! partnered Jiahui for flag day. don't really remember the other junior's names. went to abc market and walked the outskirts of it. a lot of people donated. yay!!! we split up with the juniors.... well, Jiahui was the one who was more outspoken and asked a lot of people. walked around the area. came back and found xiulin, then jiayi and halie. and walked to another hawker centre. saw karthika and elspeth there. with the juniors. got a drink and continued along the bridge area between ikea and anchorpoint. met up with the rest at ikea for lunch. janice and xiulin was somewhere else cos they did not want to come. juniors ate upstairs, the 3 of us ate hotdogs! mr ng called.. didn't answer.. sorry.. but he was upstairs so just went up and talked. got juniors, left ikea and met up with janice and xiulin.

went to commonwealth mrt area next. just walked around there. until time to go back to school. didn't finish  the whole tin, but it was heavy enough. went back to school and waited for mr ng.... then went off to tiong. took train with jiayi, xiulin and sarah chua. got off at tiong. walked round. got a drink then went for chinese tuition. was almost falling asleep as was really tired. went home, bathed and all. then went out to have dinner. with the same group of people met last week. too lazy to say them all. but dinner was great. okay, very tired already will sleep after uploading all the pics and all.... and study tmr morning!

you caused the greatest problems in the team.... and then, you said everything is over, its a new beginning? wth is that! if you think that this is liveable, well, its not. with you around! what's the grand plan you keep saying? destroy everything within months? get everyone under your control? is that it? you destroyed EVERYTHING! okay! things that i've held, and maybe the team, has held most dear and you took it away? what if your own precious thing gets taken away from you? won't you be angry? won't you want it back? well, then that can explain what we are doing. netball may not be your life, but think about the people in the team, it might be what they live for okay! what they strive for! it may be almost everything to them! some grand plan you have. netball is something so precious, maybe not to everyone, but to some!! remember that. if netball fails, some have no where else to go you know! cos netball may bbe their life. think about it!

so this week... well, what can be said about this week?
monday
spent lunch time with yoges. abigail had lesson and trisha had project. yoges did some WEIRD things... and serene, must repay you for doing that!!! will repay you someday! haha!!!  she had some thing(idk what it is) and went round scaring people with it. expressions were very funny. had training. well, the sec1s came! a lot of sec1s. hope they are good and will continue to stay in netball. not go halfway. training, if it is even called training, was very slack. that thing..... left us alone. we had some team building games, h2o i think. and dog and bone. then warm up, half court. was really slack. and no one really told us what to do. was what yunhe and the team decided. played full court for a while, then dismissed! training never felt that boring. and useless. seriously, the drive and passion i had last time during training, its fading away. it's like the only thing that keeps me sane in netball and not give up is.... the fact that Y,A,T and J are there. friends. yes. need the passion back for netball... but its hard. really hard. its like, no point training any more.

tuesday
dance training. for the YOG thing. was fun! went with zann, then loretta. she was super funny! talked about random stuff. the dance, we didn't do the rountine, but just pracise some stuff. it was great! sec3s all in one row. very few of us. next tuesday is our next practice. should be fun! the stuff we did was not like hip hop. more of comtemporary maybe? but keep bending down and coming up. want to continue dance lessons soon!

wednesday
amath test. it was not really a surprise test. but then again, it was easy, yet cannot do. cos didn't study for it! log test. i think, i'm prepared to fail amath this term. it was so easy! but just passed the test. 9/16? OMG! can't do amath at all! why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's all for studies....
helped for house practise. isabel, joseph and caroline house. sec3s did captain's ball. took chairs and got ready. but there was a lot of free time even before they came down. finally tried to do bio homework. its killer too! hoping the CA1 questions will be easier. so much to study for, so little time. well, so helped to umpire. in the end, joseph 1 and joseph 2 got first and second place. caroline 1 got third!:) at free time, talked to jiayi and anjila. was fun!

thursday
pe! did 5 rounds, not 6. yay! was super tired! even after 5 rounds only. many people skipped PE. maybe cos they heard its 2.4. cos the other classes did. only we didn't i think. first 3 rounds was fine, after that, really tired. stamina is not holding! amath test. again. got back the first one and was surprised that passed. but yeah, one mark. second test, died. really died. could not do a single sum! really... wished studied harder for this test. but... well, nothing can be done now.
house practise. finally our house practise! watched a video, about a coach and his American football team. so touching..... what he said to his team. any way, all the talk about teamwork, sportsmanship.. all mentioned and learnt before? so... well, captain's ball was fun! ignatius team 1! played marie team 1, drew the match. catherine team 1, won, had a tie break with marie team 1, cos we both had 5 points. lost the tie break, was against a catherine team.... not sure which one. won. finally against marie team 1 for finals! won them! played marie team 1 3 times! drew, lost, won! yay! we were so hyper! for all the games. and the mc person had to keep saying ignatius house, contain yourselves. something like that. but its house practise, should have fun right? but WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OUR FIRST SPORTS WIN!! 2C 09 ROCKS! love you all!!!!!

friday
emath test. got back our amath test, failed.. horribly.... help!! help for amath!!!! its the only test that keep failing!!!! well, any way, today had council meeting. then went to the choir room for assembly. could not even hear the national athem or school song so didn't stand until we could go in. then 3a and 3b were almost all lined up. the rest of them were downstairs.. the first level. so they were stopped cos of prayers and all. apparently, there were prayers. announcements could be heard, but it was muffled. so we had a talk from two people. tana river life foundation. the organisation we helped last year for the stationary. and 2c washed cars on the last week of term4 for them too! then, most of us got sick... may not be the car washing... but..... that was a bad last week of school. last day of school, half the class was sick and 3/4 came? maybe a bit less. so anyway, after that we had flag day briefing and it was brief cos we ran out of time. and our end of term video. councillors had to meet mr francis. and we were late coming up for emath test. had lesser time, so rushed through. it was easy. just hope no careless mistakes! cos rushed through. the rest of the day was fine. duty was great! the girls who always stay in class are out. thanks to Olivia and Christina. they went to the problem classes and told them to get out. and they did not come back till recess was over!! thank you!!!!!

tmr there is flag day! will have to wake up early. so goodnight!

oh yeah, once again, i must thank my friends. they helped me through this week again and again.

really... what's wrong with you?

so any way, won't be going for training next week. wrote a letter already. cos any way, there is not much point going. why? cos we have no coach. and its like self training, with tournament and all over, its time for studies. coach! come back!!! called her on monday and we talked for quite a while. miss you so much! these pass 3 weeks, keep thinking of the past trainings, tournaments and time spent with you. it was fun and  change from what was used to back in  primary school. and in sec1, when it was so difficult, you were there for me......

can't decide whether to let go... or just hold on....
