getting used to life

well, i still have to get used to life in singapore. i am still sleeping at like 7 or 7 plus and i still wake at 3 plus? and i am still spending not more then 5 minutes in the toilet when i bath. i keep thinking that i am still in newzealand. once, i asked if something was burnable or not. when my mum asked me why, i said that i must put it in the correct bin. my mum was like WHAT? what bin? there is only one type of bin here and its for everything. no need to sort. haha. i guess its because my group for the nz trip cleaned the dustbins. well, mine was the recylcables so its not that tough. but those who did the pig bin, you are mighty brave!

today, went to school for the LAMDA exam. i flunked it. i didn't do well at all. i feel that i was not prepared. but still, i managed to finish it. then went home and came back to school for the national healthy lifestyle campaign thing. supposed to play captain's ball but didn't cause didn't sign up. so we just relaxed and did nothing but walk around. and could not get out of the place so amira, kaiwei, nurin, gracia, gladys and i just walked round and round and sat down to watch the performance then could go home at 6.30. reached home at 8. cause first, i missed the train. then i misssed the bus. and had to wait another 15 minutes for the next bus to come!!!!!

any way, to all sec1 netballers, please come for training okay. i know that kaiwei, nurin, sinwei and some others do come for training. but i want to see everybody for training next weeek. i do know that some of you can't because of a GOOD reason. but try not to get sick. cause the carnival is near and i want to be prepared for it. i know that training will be 4 hours, but it will do us good. seriously, it will help us. during the carnival and south zone, then you all will know why we need to train so hard. but its no use regretting that we didn't train hard enough. so now, put in your best! we can do it!

group picture

i forgot this picture for the newzealand trip. this was our last group picture. and the last picture my camera can took before it died! so it is super important.
