if leaving is the right thing to do,
then i'll hurt myself to keep from hurting you,
to keep you safe...

idk where i got these words from...... it just suddenly popped out somewhere and i found it nice! no special meaning okay! so don't think too deep into it!
2nd day in vietnam!

woke up early today. 6.30? around there. got changed and left the house around 7 plus. went for breakfast. it is so filling! it was like a kind of noodles. with fish and alll. i forgot the name for it. went with parents and lao gu. the rest were still in the apartment. we sat there till about 8 then went to a shop to wait for the bus to pick my parents and i up.

we took the bus with 42 other people, making it 45 people in total plus a tour guide. it was a 2 hour long journey... we were going to the mekong delta(or mekong river). the bus ride was just boring. slept on the bus as i slept late last night and was tired. the tour guide talked a bit about the programme. but it was hard to understand his English. the group of us came from a lot of different countries. there was another group of singaporeans, a group of taiwanese, people from finland, france, germany and also japanese. so it was a mixture!

we finally reached the mekong delta. sat on this boat on the mekong delta. first we went up and down a part of the mekong delta. then we stopped at one of the 4 islands there. the other 3 islands are not for visitors to visit i think.

our first stop was the rice paper making place. they used rice mixed with water and grind it with a type of stone thing. it becomes a liquid. then they spread it out on a 'boiler' for about 45 seconds to a minute. they take it out and dry it under the hot sun. and that makes the rice paper! (its edible- actually, its for people to eat) the tour guide explained it to use then we had free time to try the rice paper and buy it if we wanted. my parents and i didn't buy it.

the next stop was to see the coconut shells being made into different items like spoons, forks etc. it was nice to see it. we could also buy the stuff there but we didn't. then at the same place, we had lunch. 4 dogs joined us, going from table to table. 2 black, 2 brown and 2 male, 2 female. our lunch was rice, something that looked like bbq pork and some fried popiah.... tasted great! although it was a simple meal. then we had free time to walk around the area. i walked and slipped on mud! was careless. (note: it was raining before and during the time we were there so the mud was very wet). we then made our way back to the boat.

we went to another part of the island. while we were on the boat, the engine died halfway and we had to wait for another boat and transfered to the other boat. we drove through a smaller so called stream where there were a lot of mangrove plants and trees. we reached our destination.... we walked inland and came to this place where they served us free fruit. the types of fruit that were found on the island. there was also a performance for us. they sang and played songs..... songs that were native to the mekong islands. the ancesters made these songs and sung them after their day of hard farming in the olden days. we were asked to give them tips. then had time to look around at the souvenirs but we didn't buy any.

walked out of the place and sat a horse cart. the horse was kind of small. but it could pull a cart with its driver and 6 other people. there were 6 of us in each cart. the ride was fun! but the horse had blinkers on... it was kind of sad. any way, we soon reached our destination.

it is a bee farm. we had a taste of bee honey(obviously its bee honey!) and we could actually see the bee hives. i didn't touch the bee hives but we could. and there were bees flying around. well, they are honey bees so i think they can be harmless to us... i don't know if they can still sting us... i think they can't. any way, the honey tasted nice. there was also a cage with two snakes in it. long snakes!

we countinued walking. we came to another part of the mekong river. it was shallower and narrower. we took a rowing boat! it was 4 to a rowing boat with the owner of the boat. but my parents and i sat with the two people folllowing the tour guides. it was so fun on the rowing boat! my dad rowed with the owner of the boat and we overtook the boat in front of us. we passed many mangrove trees and all again! it was mostly trees that we saw. then we reached the mouth of the small river where our bigger boat was waiting for us.

we sat on the boat and travelled to another part of the island. this time it was to see coconut sweets being made. it is different from the chinese new year type of coconut sweets. its softer and more chewable. it is also a little sweeter. we had time to buy the sweets. but i bought some other stuff instead. they sold hand made items which was quite nice!

we took the boat back to where we started off. then took the same bus back to the shop! it was another 2 hour(well, more cos of the traffic jam) journey. read a bit on the bus then slept again. finally reached the shop. got off the boat and tried to call auntie but the call could not get through. finally it did and the driver came to pick us up.

we went back to the apartment and bathed and changed. we got ready to go for dinner. grandma, aunt, parents and i went to this seafood shop for dinner. met uncle and lao gu there. the seafood was soo good! first time in a long time that i ate both prawns and crab in the same meal. usually i'll eat only one even though there is always both the dishes. show how nice it is. any way, dinner was a great meal.

after dinner went to the night market. bought some stuff. aunt bargained with the shopkeeper on some table cloths. it was 150,000 doung for one at first(about $15 in singapore). she finally got it to 43,000(or 4.30 in sing dollars) for a set of 5. wow!!!!! haha, we bought like 18 sets! all for dad and mum's friends and collegues or aunt. we then went back to the resturant.

right now, i am using the comp while my family is eating durian! well, pics will be when i get back. cos cannot connect the camera to the comp now since i didn't bring the cable with me!

yay! i am in vietnam now! in my uncle's house!

any way, let's start with yesturday(continuing my last post)
after reaching school.... mum came to fetch me. we went to tiong to get cakes and lunch. went home and ate lunch. bathed, did a bit of work.. then slept. woke up and went to grandma's house for dinner. ate an early dinner around 6 plus. then went to the living room to watch tv. and talk... then went home around 8 plus with grandma. she came to stay over for the night. had to pack my stuff for the trip... then went on the comp to send some stuff and blogged before sleeping.

today
was supposed to wake at 4.45 but woke up at 5.15 instead. any way, went to bath and change and set off for the budget terminal. we reached at 6.30. quickly checked in the bags. then went through customs.... went to the waiting area and waited for a while before we could board the plane. plane was due to leave at 7.15. first time at budget terminal! it was great! nice...

the plane ride was uneventful. sat with grandma and parents were in front of us. slept for almost the whole journey. it wa a 1hour and about 40 min flight. reached ho chi minh city. got off the airplane and went through immigrations and all. then went out and looked for auntie(parent's cousin's wife). found her and sat the car to her house. she has a driver! the house(or apartment) is super big!!!!! it is like 5 rooms, two sitting rooms, one dining room, one kitchen, 3 bathrooms.... and each one is BIG! it is on the same level. but the building is 20 stories...... we are on the 19th. i want to stay here permanently! any way, met uncle and lao gu!(uncle is parent's cousin, lao gu is grandma's younger brother). also saw uncle and auntie's two sons.... locke and jaziel... one is P1, one is 4......

we arrived around 9 plus so ate a bit of cake then went out in the car. it could take all of us cos it is a 7 seater.(the two kids didn't come) went to this shop(or can be called a resturant tooo). we were the only ones inside it. ate our brunch there. the food was great! tasted so nice!:)

then we went to my lao gu's office. although it is a sunday, they were open cos it was like a tile shop.... i don't reallly know how to describe it..... we explored the whole place. the tiles are so well done and so beautiful! we went level by level!

after that went to do_________. then went back to the apartment. ate kuah lapis.. super  nice! then rested. at 6.30, prepared ourselves to go out again for dinner. went to the crystal jade resturant in legend hotel. super nice! got a few pics. just ate and went back.

bathed! the bathroom was great! two of the bathrooms had a shower and bathtub. both in the same bathroom. the last one was  not for bathing.... any way, i've explored the whole house. it is sooooo big and spacious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well, got to sleep already. pics i will upload when i am back in singapore.

today was so fun! reached the foyer close to 7. heard karthika and lena singing their history song. then more and more people came. went onto the bus. sat with janice. ate sweets. took a picture of karthika. reached st andrew's secondary school. came down and went up some steps. then went down again and sat on some step thing. felt very bored. we got a free pen and a bag. but it was boring. sat with janice and karthika. just talked about random stuff and watched as the other schools came.
there were a lot of schools....  for book trailer, there was admiralty sec, SCGS, bedok view, chung cheng high, jurong sec, swiss cottage, PLMGS, pioneer sc, SASS, north view sec, hua yi sec, SAC, bedok south sec, marsiling sec, assumption english high, cresent girls, broadrick, gan eng seng, st hilda's, pres high, chestnut drive sc and dunearn

(i promised someone that i will post the schools that were there... that's why the names of the schools are all here)
finally we were asked to go to the hall. reached the hall and sat in 3 rows. don't know why its 3 instead of two rows. and we waited and waited again for a long time. then decided to hear music. after that had a performance by some guy with his guitar. and a sing he and his friends composed together. then had to wait again.
finally the guest of honour arrived at 9.10. and made his speech. then we heard 4 poems by a group of people. they were the runner up of some competition. after that at 9.45, we were dismissed to go to the canteen for our break or refreshments. the canteen was at a totally new block! the school is soo big! wish stc was that big.. too bad we can't go to st andrews. any way, for the refreshments, it was mc chicken from macs! tasted great! we then went to the 5th floor of the classroom block to wait for our turn. it turned out that we were on the wrong floor and the wrong classroom. we went down to the 4th floor and sat in the waiting room. the actors went to change into their costumes and did their make up. helped karthika and janice to do the ears of the animals. it came out. then i was free so went round to take pictures. took quite a few pics.... while they were doing make up, the actors rehersed their lines for the trailer. still went round taking pics. then we were called up to go to the next room for the performance. miss koh helped me take a video of the whole thing! was super scared!!!! idk why i was scared when i was not even acting. but any way, it turned out great!!!!! the whole thing was great!!!! 2C ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
we went back to the waiting room and the actors went to change back. miss koh praised the acting. cos the space that they rehersed was so different from the space that the actors had. and they did well!!!! i just slacked around and then miss koh disappeared. afterwards she said that she went to see the others school's performance. we were in the waiting room feeling bored and i started to read the book that i brought. then some of my classmates wanted to do this play thing or scene in the classroom. we all sat on the chairs and nat was recording. ming came in from the door and we greeted her as 'miss chua!' so it was 'good morning miss chua!' haha. but we were too loud and so someone came in to tell us to keep quiet. remember, we were a class of 35 people!!! went back to reading and again someone else came in to ask if our teacher was here and to ask us to go to the hall. then cos miss koh was not back yet, they told us to wait for our teacher.
miss koh came back at 11.45 and we went to the hall. heard the poems. well, the those that made it to the second round. clementi town's poem was super good! haha, won't mention what it is about here. but it was the best! and they won the poetry competition. they deserved it. and some school sent in 3 boys and they had a poem about girls....... the bad sides of us! :( then after the poems thing, we had to wait again. finally, it was the prize giving ceremony. the poems on were said first. then the book trailer. i was sooo scared.... waiting to see what we got. they went room by room and when it came to the music room(which was our room), i was more tense. the third place was said and the second place was said. second place was st hilda's. was scared for the result. then the mc was like in first place was saint...... then stop..... then said, in first place was saint theresa's convent! and we all cheered and screamed!!!! mingfung went up to get the trophy with andrea. and we screamed again! WE GOT FIRST PLACE!!!!! super happy!!!!!! after that was the prize for the debate teams. then we could go back.
took a class photo at some part of the school grounds. today only had 35 of us instead of 40. still, can say that it is a class photo! also took photo of the trophy! and then we went onto the bus again. sat with janice. was so tired i wanted to sleep. almost did. we arrived in school and could go home!!!!!
2C GOT FIRST PLACE AT THE 2009 LIT FESTIVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE 2C! GOOD JOB EVERYONE!

Friday, September 4, 2009

finally its friday!!! and its the holidays... well, its not really a holiday cos its just tons of work. trying to finish it. and it does not help that i will be overseas... any way, looking forward to lit fest tmr! its like from 8 to 2.30 i think. hope its fun. and can't wait for training and netball carnival which will be next sunday. i don't think i will be going for the junior's carnival. well, that's about all that's been planned for the hols.

so about this week
tuesday
had a day off. super relaxed. woke at 9.30 and couldn't get to sleep again. tried to do my history stuff but it was so hard.... didn't understand it. in the end i only managed to do the cover of my history CD. off course also did a few other things on the comp. no piano lesson so went out for dinner.

wednesday
went to school. lessons were okay. nothing really exciting happened in school. except for training. my shooting improved!! by a little bit.... but still, its improvement! yay! played full court. wish i had more training! its so fun!

thursday
went to school..... also nothing much happened. did shooting in the morning. we are going to have tea session next term.... all chinese girls i think. thankfully its on tuesday.. wait, that's my only free day that i don't have to stay back... oh know.... no oral com today so went home and again tried to figure out my history. gave up and waited till night time when mum came back and got a bit of help. got the first assigment done! at 12am!!!! actually it was passed 12 am!

today
half day today. reached school at 7.30. cos school starts at 8 today!:) went to the hall for assembly and sung the patrons's day hymms. i want to go for patron's day this year. last year we had no chance to go cos we lined up late and had lightning alert. then rained. so sad! i wanted to see how it is like. then went to class for math lesson. two periods of math!!!!!:( she went through pythagoras theorem(i don't think its the correct spelling). and then we did sums. about 7 questions. couldn't finish in time before the bell rang so its homework. went to the library to check out her cd with elspeth. it finally works!

went to vivo with yoges and her friends(ayesha and rachel-hope its correctly spelt). ate at macs then went to minitoons and the shops round there. just looked at the stuff and played with it. went to sky park and the playground. then headed to toys r us. walked round there. got bored. went to the mrt station then rachel left. went to the sky park again and played with the water. went inside. yoges got me wet and i got her wet.... but in the end she was wetter then me!:) then left for home already.

its the hols.. don't feel like its the hols....

today was teacher's day celebration! it was soo nice! so let's begin with what happened at stc.

went to class in the morning and put bag down. handed in nyaa booklet and just went round aimlessly. then got to go to the hall for a council meeting. was about our performance and had to go up to class again to take our ij blue. went to the hard court and had assembly. then mrs dehamel went up on stage in a portugese dress. so nice!!!! and then we did our aces day dance. 2c was praised. 2c rocks!

after that went to the hall to change into ij blue. then sat behind our class. watched the first performance. was the gym performance. had technical diiculties the first time. kind of sad cos the performance was quite good. then had a video. i was in it! with netballers. it was a video for the teachers.... each sport cca was like giving their well wishes. then had the second performance. pianist and violinist(tan min) with alexandra and nicole singing the song memory. it was so good! had a second video. about the teachers caught in action. then the dance item. ballet then i think its modern dance. but we left to go backstage. was lining up. while the school was guessing the teachers. don't know what happened cos was behind the curtains. had our performance. was too cramped and did not stand on the steps but then again, cannot really be seen(although people can see me). clap hands until my hands were all red! after that went back to the back of the hall. sat down and saw the last video. was about ' one by one' it was a great video! thanks info comm club and 4R! after that had the cake cutting ceremony. went to find my friends in 2c. then as the song was playing, held hands with friends! it was like a line with claris, lena, andrea, karthika, janice, me, meiyi, jiayi, anjila, ana, and quite a few others. was soo memorable! will never forget this moment! then i turned back and saw kg!!!! :) :) :) haha. said hi. then went to join friends. was dismissed to class.

went to class. waited for miss koh. took photos. with karthika, janice, sonia, denise. then took candid shots of elsperth and karthika. saw helen outside so took a pic with her too. then miss koh came. she was wearing ij blue. then someone said 'belt so low' she said' its not my belt. my belt is with mrs dehamel( cos mrs dehamel was wearing ij blue too).' then we were like 'orrrr!!! never sew belt!!!!!' hahahaha! give miss koh her gifts and then she had to guess and match our baby photos. she guessed mine! guessed it was claris first then me! was so fun! but how she knew that it was us, idk! after that i didn't need to stay back for lit rehersal so rushed to kellock with qiying and zann.


reached kellock, went to the hall. met maddie! saw the performance(wasn't interested) and spoke to mrs janet tan first. she was like 'hi charmaine! councillor ah!' i was like OMG! any way, said hi to mrs janet tan, liu lao shi, mr onn and mrs manuel in the hall. and some other teachers. they were dismissed to class and i went with jackie, may and leechin from class to class, waving from outside to the teachers we knew. when we passed ms chang's class, she said' hey girls, wave too!' so the whole classed waved to us. climbed the stairs to each level! and miss tay knows me!!! OMG! a lot of teachers can remember me! so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha. ended at mrs janet tan's class. this year no need to pack drawer!!! yay! went down to the staffroom after that.

followed mrs janet tan to her table. hung round there. then went to the other teacher's table. and talked to liu lao shi too! just randomly walked round the staffroom and enjoyed air con. talked to teachers too!walked round with jackie and sarah, kelda was there too. waited at mrs janet tan's table for shareen. she finally came and we just talked to mrs tan. then went down to the lift lobby with leechin and shareen. saw coach mun. said hi. went to the general office and talked to mrs clara tan, the principal. she asked about secondary school life and our studies. she was so nice!!!!!!!:) yay! talked to mrs manuel too!:) :) about netball and studies. i miss kellock!!!! went outside to the lift lobby and met up with kaiwei and yizi. they took pics and i was called to help mrs linda tan bring things to her car. came up and took my camera back. saw some random photos were taken.

went to the hall and saw the training that was going on there. p4s. skill wise, not too good. talked to coach mun! she is so nice to us! we talked for a long time. she asked about studies and netball and a lot of things. then we shifted the goal post and began shooting. can still shoot! thankfully! played a bit and zhiting came. enjoyed playing with the kellock netballs. it was so fun! stayed there till about 2.45. went down to the canteen to buy drinks with zhiting then walked to the 195 bus stop with her.

miss kellock so much! i wish i could always go back! everyday! cos i really want to be in kellock again! and train in the netball team(surprising) haha, the training was tough but it was memorable. some parts of it. this year not many sec2s came back. kind of sad. from cerise only yizi, kaiwei, sarah chua, leechin, shareen and me i think. any way, some is better then nothing.

so went to the bus stop and zhiting's mum came to pick her up. went to tiong for tuition. from 3.30 to 6.30. then came home.


want today to begin all over again! if i get to choose which day i would want to repeat, i would choose today.

Saturday, August 22, 2009

now can post about my week...

well, monday came to school damn early because of YOU!!! okay... someone.... was in school like 6.40? nothing much to do.... put my bag at some random place in the hardcourt cos my classmates were not there yet and i had no idea exactly where my class should be. went to the locker. came back and found that i had actually put my bag the same place i put it almost everyday when i first come to school! wow!! nothing much happened in school. was waiting for my marks actually.... english was 13/20... but its as usual not the total mark yet! still, its good enough... bio had 12/15. also good enough... for art we did charcoal painting and my charcoal painting was horrible! it is art after all(one of my worst few subjects) doing bio had to compose a song for respiraiton or photosynthesis. group was kim lim, meiyi, karthika and me. the tune was to just so you know. came out of the classroom late. but it was fun!!!!!!!!!! after school had netball training. only 3 sec2s!!! abigail, charishma, me! training was not too bad. ran rounds on the track as punishment(as usual) but still bearable. its not too tough. played court game. played as GA!!! was super happy!!!! then training ended and went home...

tuesday
i don't think that there is much to post about... had morning run.... then lit and math. then PE!!!!!! did aces day dance. it's a portugese dance! OMG! but the music does fit the dance. its easy! had to dance right in front of y. and she did the same right in front of me. with karthika beside me! laughed at y! hahahahaha(y, yes, this is for you to read!) Ve we watched the show. something to do with a japanese grade 6 class and a pig! the pig was sooo cute!!!!:) that's all that was interesting for tuesday. went home, went on the comp. for a reason! and slept... at night, cos no music class, went on the comp again.

wednesday
had lessons... got maths CA2 results... A1!!!!!!:) :) :) did a phy test. practical test. on circuits. had to use wires and ammeters and voltmeters. my circuit worked!!! with help from mr wong and sasha! but i did not know how to take down the timings properly. and i think many people's circuits were not working..... in the end, i guess mr wong got stressed up and he gave us the figures for the graph. we drew the graph ourselves. i might have inverted axis again!!! any way, got to see our CA2 marks. 14/15!!! was super happy!!!! then school ended and had training. again only 3 sec2s came. kaiwei, charishma and me... very few b div people. today ran lesser rounds. did shooting. and then played court game.

its again a long post. i can't seem to have short posts.... any way.. got to go
let's post about yesturday and today first...

yesturday


was going out of my house and my neighbour and her dog was going for a jog. petted and played with the dog! its soo cute! had morning run in the morning as usual. did sprinting. assembly was in the classroom. apparently, it seems like on fridays, assembly will be in the classroom.... any way, did duty. finally abigail came(after two days of being on mc). had lessons. typed in reflections for ndp during the first two periods. got chinese final CA2 mark. its a B3... not going to put the score down here! any way, nothing much happened in school. had to miss strength training for some reason. its personal. any way, went home... it rained just as i reached the lobby of my house! lucky! then grandma came over. at night, cousin, aunts and uncle came over for dinner. was quite noisy. then halfway, neighbour's dog appeared at the door! it was staring at us. sooo cute!!!!!!! cousin and i wanted to drink sprite. we opened a cupboard and saw teacups and a tea pot inside. cousin said something like' what if we put the sprite in the teapot and pour it into a teacup?' me-'hahahaha! then our family can't drink tea tonight! they will drink sprite!' in the end, we found the cups. went into my room and used the comp. talked to jiayi online. and it was about 2-3 hours of anime/manga only! wheeee!!! mum came in and said 'want some tea?' we both started laughing like mad..... then cousin left, aunts and uncle left. grandma stayed over. slept at 1.30. quite early for a friday night. and tried calling leechin at 11.10. she was not home!!!!



today
woke up at i don't know what time and just laid in bed. oh yeah, shared room with my grandma. she was up quite early and went in and out of the room... didn't want to get up so just continued trying to sleep. grandma went to the market and mum came to drag me out of bed. ate breakfast, then grandma came back. she bought carrot cake and doughnuts and pancakes! so ate a bit more...... then mum fetched grandma home. came back, was on the computer... then relaxed... woke up, went for dinner at grandma's house, like every saturday night. met relatives-aunt, uncle, cousin's parents. ate dinner, talked and laughed. had noodles, curry puff and chicken wings.... the rest had durians... i skipped(i don't like durians!) then started talking about cars..... asked mum to buy a car for herself. then we were deciding on what type of car and what colour the car should be. super funny! we kept laughing!!!! until grandma had stomach ache cos laugh too much and aunt choked on some tidbits that we were eating. we talked about other stuff too. for about 2 hours plus. then cousin's parents had to fetch cousin from her badminton class and we all left. got home, bathed, now on the comp.

i enjoyed this weekend! grandma hardly comes to stay and i only see her once a week.:( for a few hours! grandma, come and stay again!!!!!

*some problem with my comp again... i can't change the colours of the words!!!! i think my comp has a virus...*

yay! can post! and exams are finally over! CA2! flung my chinese and math! surprisingly, i flung my math! i may really fail it this time! someone help!

so monday was supposed to be a holiday. woke up at 9. studied science.... went to tiong at 12 to eat lunch. mos burger! ate with mum. had tuition from 1-4. 3 hours! math! but its quite okay. went back and practised a bit more math. went out to achorpoint with aunt, uncle and mum. had dinner there. went home and revised more.

tuesday
went to school, had morning training. went in pinafore. played squareball and court game(sat out for court game). said pledge for assembly. not too bad.. but i guess it was a bit obvious it was me saying it.. and you-know-who was super close to the front of her class... why??? any way, went for math exam after that. was horrible! i didn't finish two questions which cost me 8 marks out of 35! and i have a feeling i have drawn a horrible graph which will lead me to failing my math CA2. science was better. phy was okay.. bio the part about the trachea and all i didn't really fill it in.. cos i didn't know. won't elaborate on the lessons. after school went to the hall for council meeting. did the new duty list and new relay system list and all. also had to learn the cheers. then went home to study! at night for d and t, called karthika, then meiyi, then janice, then karthika, then meiyi. then smsed janice and smsed karthika(smsed to her house phone). she called back and we laughed like don't know what over the phone! my mum was staring at me weirdly! haha

wednesday
assembly in classroom. had to finish our d and t project. and study history. went down to the general office to say the pledge. and said prayers too cos the prayer girls were not there. went back to class and had our english CA2. it was okay! the compre was okay. history was surprisingly okay too! then came d and t. our group presented. our display board was horrible... other then that, it was okay. i hope.... please give my group good marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! science was only one period.. cos school ended early to go for the hockey finals. didn't really do much studies since it was only one period. went for hockey finals! the score was 0-0 until final time. then went into extra time, still 0-0. so had penalty. the result? 2-1! so stc won!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay! and because of it, we will get a half day sometime soon. congrats! any way, sat with y for quite a while during the match. talked.. went home and relaxed.

thursday
had pledge duty. was our free day today! no exams! was more relaxed!!!! haha! won't elaborate on the lessons as lessons are always a bore! welll, not always but usually. went for oral com. quite a few people did not turn up. but lessons continued. it was okay... came home and studied for lit and chinese.

friday
morning training. did not join in. was in pinafore again. had assembly in class so went to the general office to say the pledge. said prayers too. went for exam. lit was okay.. chinese i may have flung it. won't know cos i'm horrible at chinese! lessons was okay.. missed phy again! and half of history. music was fun! after school had lunch and talked to Anjila.. went library and talked about ----- stuff! haha. at 3.20, went to the canteen to find ming, ching and kim lim. changed to the super big red shirt that was given to us. went to the foyer. was there early! put our bags in mr chu's car... only took our hp. then sat a bus to the explanade. waited and waited for the VIP to come! gave hp to miss mok. finally the vip came and we ran(actually its a walk until the end where we ran the last 50 m? maybe shorter then that) to the padang which was our finish point. had macs! was chicken nuggets and apple pie! walked to raffles place to get to mr chu's car for our bags. took train with ching. then changed to the purple line. went on the train and saw jorain! yay! talked and all. got off at harbourfront. walked with her to subway then sat bus. reached home and i'm super tired now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hmmm.... this week has been hectic i guess? saying the pledge seemed a bit scary but now i miss saying it. and i miss the times i had with k and j! it seemed so long ago! now we are a bit seperated. is it cos of me? any way, its a long post! so will end here.

oh know.. i've been missing many people's birthday on this blog... maybe cos i can't really be bothered to update except once a week(this week is an exception). july only have 9 posts! any way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! 44 years already!

hmmm, nothing else to say. oh yeah, the last post, the words there are like a song.... its a song i am hearing. but its in jap. its nice lyrics... but can't be the other jap song(the lyircs i've posted several post ago...wait, it was only the starting 2 lines... but if i post the whole thing.. i think people will get bored right? too many lyrics...). the other song's lyrics are better. so that's all. bye!
Whatever the future may be from this moment, Our glory days begin from here
There is a line
under the blue sky,
Opening a brand new door
As we hold our hands
gentlely with smiling faces
We can faintly feel something
friendship
As though there are no words in this world to describe,
All of the memories that we share
Whatever the future may be from this moment, Our glory days begin from here.
As we swing our uniforms,
the wind bring them together
Into a pocket
If we try
to go towards the sound of our echoes,
We can feel something which we
cannot see
If we collect all the hopes in this world,hey,
Please lead us to the route of courage
Whatever the future may be from this moment, Our glory days begin from here
As though there are no words in this world to describe, All of the memories that we share Whatever the future may be from this moment,
Our glory days begin from here.
Whatever the future may be from this moment, Our glory days begin from here.

okay, its like 3 in the morning and i cannot sleep! something's wrong with me! i don't know why but i just can't seem to feel sleepy. guess i'm thinking a bit..... don't know why too... CAs are just next week and it will be a whole weekend of studies for me. i'm currently hearing a song called white line... i don't think many people know it. cos its in jap and i've not many friends who hear jap songs....

okay, someone help me think of something to post about. i can't sleep, i don't know what to post about.... i'm getting a bit tired of the songs i'm hearing.... no one's online. unless they are appearing offline... what's left for me to do? hmmm. can't decide whether i should say its early in the morning or late at night..

you know, its just so quiet now. silence.... maybe i should enjoy the peace... its hardly ever this peaceful around my life now. but wish i had someone to talk to or something. any one's nocturnal tonight(or morning) or maybe nocturnal tmr night? talk to me!

nope, posting is not working... i'm still feeling bored. so i guess the only choice left it to go back watching prince of tennis! so bye.....
okay, let's post... this week is more of studies cos ca is coming... its like next tuesday, wednesday and friday. and tuesday there's council meeting, wednesday there's hockey finals. so busy! but good thing is monday is a holiday so can study.

monday
had training. was great! had muscle pull at the end of training. guess i didn't stretch properly. and the new shooting drill is hard. thanks for all the encouragements! :) it helps! nothing much to talk about already.

tuesday
skipped morning run cos there's 2.4 for PE, didn't feel like running. had a lit test then surprise math test then 2.4! OMG! only made me more nervous. lit test i might not do well. math test got 17/20!:) 2.4.... well, it was not too bad. but could not beat Ida! wanted to beat her. was hearing music for first 3 rounds. then thought that without music is better. finished 2.4... but didn't get A. partnered alicia for 2.4! like last year! i don't want re-run my 2.4 but i'm not too happy with my timing. still.... there's nothing much already i think...

wednesday
had training again. did our drills badly. so we did our first drill... then second... then redo second drill... third drill... redid third drill!!! but i was not that tired... i think i can be pushed more for training. training still feels slack to me. did fourth drill.. must stretch a lot. had shooting drill after that. not as bad as monday's one. although its the same drill. can't wait to be good enough to play court game again! because i miss playing court games. its the most fun part of the training. hmm... y, i didn't know that you knew that already! fast!!!!

thursday

had council training till 12.30. talked about a newspaper article. had time for lunch. went with nadia, ida, mingfung, peirong, kim h, zann, claris, nat, jamie, and tina. ate doughnut and a brownie. some ate chicken rice. some ate 7 eleven stuff. went to the hall after lunch. did cutting of the flags. at 2.30, we could go home! so went home, rested and studied. slept. then woke up and went out for dinner with parents and aunt. came back and on the comp!
