Today I went to school,had PE and Geog,almost slept in Physics but kept myself awake so Mdm Lim wouldn't call me...then after recess was english..which btw is getting more boring everyday coz now it's usually just compre and compo.We had Maths in the IT resource room so got to enjoy air-con for 2 periods.Then after that was 1 period bio..which was more like 1 period of walking around coz we went up to class,then to the lab,then we had to leave coz another class was gonna have lessons there..so we walked around a bit and finally decided to go to the hall.Oh yeah and Mr Hafiz showed us the photos of him when he was young and he was really fat...then he showed us photos of him after his crash diet..what a big diff!Anyway we also got our bio test back...got 76.5 so I dont hafta redo the whole paper...phew!Had assembly which was mega boring...some emergency exercise briefing..then went to the canteen for lunch..then had chinese..didnt really pay attention...wouldnt understand much anyway..so yeah then for in focus we had to complete the social studies homework,then after that Ms Naz was sick so we didnt have debate course so went home took a nap then went fof tuition...and now I'm back here...anyway gotta go think of rebuttals I guess...ciao

Yeah I haven't updated for a while...ok lets see..what's been happening...well we won our first debate!!!WOOHOO!!!Our next one is next Tuesday...so yeah..wish my team luck!Before we left for the competition Mr Neo said he'll treat us to Country Manna if we get in the quarter finals.I somehow doubt that he'll keep that promise.The nostril hair talking,maybe?Haha.
I had to tie my hair today coz they were doing a hair check and my hair is too long to leave down...and its better than getting a haircut from Mr Toh,I mean have you seen how he cuts hair?I remember he cut this guy's hair near where I was sitting with some of my friends,he didnt even use the proper scissors..it was more like the big kind you use for cutting cloth...or meat..and he just snipped chunks off.Even though I really dislike tying my hair up,there's no way I'm letting that happen to my hair!When Mdm Shareena saw she was like,"heehee!"I had people telling me I look nicer this way,and some saying they prefer my hair down,so I really dunno?Lol.I'll try to take a pic and post it.I think it would probably look better if I had contacts.Which I WILL get someday.Hehe.Anyway we had a vectors test...pretty okay,except for one tiny part I didnt really know,I think I'll do okay.Then after school I went for the debate course...we were planning our case for most of the session...the motion is "Technology helps to improve our lives" and we're the proposition...if anyone has any ideas on some points the opposing team will say just tag my board or somethin..it mite be helpful coz I'm doing rebuttals.Came back at around 6 plus,did some homework and of course now I'm writing this...haha..anyway I think i'll finish off here...see ya!

Today was kinda draggy...started off with a boring speech by Mr Neo about...the bird flu or somethin?The only thing I remember him sayin was "Chickens are birds,birds are birds."Geez...can he sound any dumber?Anyway let's all give him a big thank you for that INGENIOUS theory.I think his nostril hair has grown so long,it's reached his brain and clogged up his train of thought....must be why he came up with silly programmes like In Focus.I know according to the human anatomy there's no way nostril hair can reach the brain,I just came up with that for the sake of taking a dig at our principal.
So after that we had lessons...3 periods A maths,2 periods physics,then recess...while we were eatin n talkin Mr Neo (again!) came over to our table carrying a cane n said "Don't worry,I only use this to kill birds."He seems to hate birds...maybe it's coz they thought his long nostril hair were worms n tried pullin them out to eat.Ok thats enuff of Mr Neo-bashing for one day...haha.After recess we had 1 period cme but it was used for E math instead..then we had social studies...Mr Chew was on course but he gave us classwork so did that...then we had english and I forgot to bring my dictionary,but luckily Mrs Khoo let us off this time.Phew!Had lunch break after that n then had 2 periods chinese...and much to everyone's relief the chinese test was postponed to next week!Wooooooo!!!!After that for in focus I had to go for chinese remedial...there we had to work in grps of 2 or 3 n write a short paragraph describin someone in the class.In the end my partner n I described Jovian.Finally school ended n I met Kenneth n Swapna downstairs..Swapna went home,n Kenneth n I met Shirin,n her mother treated us to Delifrance!Thanks again!Finally,I came home and wrote this =D Anyway I better go study for the upcoming tests...ciao!

I kinda like thursdays,coz the next day would be friday,and then its the weekend! =D
So lets see what happened today...hmm...played a mix of captain's ball and touch rugby during PE...it wasn't too bad but I think soccer's more fun,even though I'm not that good at it..it's still more fun.Lol.Then during physics we did a practical on electricity,current,potential difference and that kinda stuff.And I seem to have lost my practical workbook.Argh!!!Anyway...after we were done and started fillin in the answers,I noticed my classmate seemed to be sleeping with his forehead leanin against the edge of the table.Then my partner noticed and after a while,there was this saliva bubble forming at his mouth,and some of it dripped onto the floor,then his partner noticed and woke him up,just when some more drool fell on the floor.Haha!After that we had chem,we did titration ...and I totally got the wrong results this time,but better luck with the next one I guess.Had bio after that,then lunch,then Mother Tongue.I was like,falling asleep for most of the lesson...so boring man!We had Math in focus after that and then finally,FINALLY I could go home!
So I came home to find my bro's suitcase half packed,and then I realised that he's already going back to Perth tomorrow.I mean of course I knew,but I guess I just didn't really register it until today.When my bro ain't here,the house is B.O.R.I.N.G.There's nobody to goof around with and talk to,ya know?The noise.The laughter.The loud singing.Dancing in the study.Hearing the tv downstairs late at nite while I'm trying to sleep.Waking up early in the morning and hearing music in the study sometimes if he's awake and using the computer,which makes me feel more upbeat and I'll think "hey today wont be so bad".But now he'll be away for another 4 months.I can't even go to the airport to see him off coz his flight's in the morning and I hafta go to school.He hasn't left yet,but I miss him already.Hope 4 months pass quickly....

The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)

I'm gonna try summarizin stuff dat happened dis week.On monday I went to my uncle's house for housewarming lunch.The food was pretty nice...then sat around for awhile,after dat I went to join my bro in my gran's room..she was lying on da bed..she seems to do that a lot nowadays...and she kept askin us questions,like whether anything will happen to her,will she go to jail...some of da questions really didn't make sense,and she kept repeating them over n over again.It frustrated my parents n my uncle n aunt after a while...there was a point where me n my bro juz burst out laughin...couldn't help it...but on a serious note...my gran could be dementing...not a gd sign..anyway after dat I came back n took a nap...then went for tuition..then went to sleep when I reached home.so tired.
Tuesday- sch was pretty boring as usual...after lessons had chinese remedial from 3 to 4...met Kenneth first after that to go to Swapna's house...she didnt come to sch so we had to pass her homework...after that we went to TM...Ili met us later at the mcdonalds where crazy invisible phone guy usually goes.We helped her to choose a bday prezzie for a friend,then we went to starbucks coz Kenneth wanted to eat cheesecake in hope of gaining weight.Ili and I ate chocolate cake instead.Nearing finishing the cheesecake,kenneth felt like vomiting,possibly coz ili was making vomiting noises..lol.It was almost 7 by then so I went home,did homework etc etc.
Thursday- after sch,me,tracie and terence were sittin in the canteen talkin,mostly about ghost stories/sightings in our school.The student leaders were havin a birthday bash for those born in January.We wished we could take one of the drinks,terence suggested sneaking over and taking one...but we decided it wouldnt work..haha.
Friday- I sooo love fridays coz sch ends early!!!Anyway after sch I went back home for a while then went back to sch to watch the soccer match between Siglap and St Pats.Since I have friends in St Pats,I went to support them.The sun was baking hot and I'm sure I turned a shade darker after that.Unfortunately they lost 5-0,but I think they played pretty well.Some of the guys in their team are pretty cute too.Hehe.
Saturday- The day of my sch's annual mass run...reached bedok reservoir at around 7.15..met Ili,then we had to go to our houses...waited for a long time coz they made the lower sec girls run first,then lower sec guys,then the upper sec girls..so we started running at around...8.30?yeah...caught up with Shirin along the way and half walked half ran with her...we finally reached the end of 3.6 km n went to buy a drink from 4e5's stall..they were selling drinks,bananas,sweets n tissue paper...while waiting for the prize giving ceremony to start,we were playing with the ice from the icebox with drinks in it...we even had to stick our hand in it to find the 20 cents lynette dropped inside...it was damn cold,after about 2 seconds ur hand starts to sting,and when u take ur hand out it's numb...but it was a good way to cool off after the run.At the end of it all Amethyst won the overall champion house for the mass run,and after picking up litter,we went home.
Sunday- Sunday is probably one of the best days coz of catechism!Today was the start if catechism class(cat class for short),and I got to see all my church friends.Upon reaching I met Adora,and we both stood outside to wait for Deb.In the meantime,Ed came and waited with us and once Deb arrived we entered church and went upstairs to the classes.To our dismay,we found out that due to the size of our classroom this year,they split some of us up.Deb,Jamie and I were in 4C,but Viv,Adora and Andre were now in 4A.So we couldn't be all together...but that didnt last long.We got a new teacher called Fiona,and she was not bad...we spent about an hour getting to know her and introducing ourselves,and she gave us each a journal with our names written on them.She also talked to us about confirmation,since we are gonna get confirmed this year,and our confirmation names.We each have to choose a confirmation name,after one of the saints,so she told us the stories about a few saints...and she explained some things that we dont understand,so the lesson was kinda fun.To make things better,after the lesson ended,Adora,Viv n Andre came to our class and asked the catechist if they could change classes and join ours.Since both our catechist and theirs agreed,we can all be together again.Yay!I think catechism is gonna be a lot more interesting this year,and after this we'll be kinda "graduating" in june so there's gonna be more activities.I can't wait,but I dont really want catechism to end so soon,it's one of the only lessons which is actually relaxing,and I'm gonna miss seeing my friends there every week.I've grown to enjoy going to church,attending catechism and mass,especially after the con 3 camp.It made me realise how important my faith is to me and how much I love being catholic.Anyway I think I've written loads...so I'll stop here..will post another time..later!

Finally it's Friday.For a while there,I thought the week was never gonna end!After school I walked around TM for a while with Ili,Tracie and Elina,before going with them to the mcdonalds near the interchange for lunch.It's been totally revamped since the last time I went,looks more modern now,some of the seats even had cushions.Unfortch we didnt get the cushion seats coz they were full and by the time there were some empty ones we had already sat down and ordered.While eating,we noticed a man sitting on one of the cushion seats with his thumb in his ear,and he was speaking to himself in malay.I asked Ili and Elina what he was saying,and they said he was talking about parents,he has 2 mothers and 1 father,something about fighting,and even flowers.After a while,he got up and walked to the door,was about to push it open,then stopped and stood there for a while still talking with his thumb in his ear.He repeated the door thing a few times before leaving mcdonalds and immediately "put down his phone" once he was out the door.We joked that there was no reception outside...when suddenly after a few minutes the man came back in again,and the moment he sat down on the same seat he put his thumb back in his ear and started talking.We couldnt stop laughing man...it was as if he could use his invisible phone in mcdonalds coz its the only place with reception.He was talking pretty loudly and a woman working there looked at him amused.When he "hung up" and left,she told us he goes there everyday.I suppose it entertains people..haha.

Hello everyone..just wanna say that the con 3 party on Saturday rocked!I met some of my friends at about 11.30 to do our hair,mine was all up and kinda messy at the back with glitter...don't think you can really see it in the pics we took,but if i get them I'll post them up!After that,I followed Viv to her house and waited for her to change,then we went to my house to get ready.Ed came over for a while and after getting ready we rushed out to meet Jamie who was waiting in a taxi for us.Upon reaching church,we discovered we were the most dressed up group there.Haha.We then took buses to the SIA function hall.It was decorated with streamers and balloons,and there was a small dance floor which would later be used for the disco,and a stage for the band.The tables had one candle each and they dimmed the lights for dinner so there was a "romantic" atmosphere(note the inverted commas).After dinner the band played a few songs,and the catechists took charge of 2 tables each.Every 2 tables had to come out with 2 couples.Viv,Ed,Andre and I represented our tables,and we had to do a silly dance.Think Saturday Night Fever.Gabriel and Leroy won coz they were really hyper,and so they were made to slow dance to the prize table to receive their prize.They made it look slow motion,and really silly,all of us were clapping...haha.
Then it was time for the disco!They played mostly R&B and hip hop,which is easier to dance to I think,and I don't like techno...all of us were dancing in a group,shaking to the music.When shake yer tailfeather was playing Andre and Ed were imitating nelly and p diddy's move in the music video.Darn funny!I also remember Natasha and I dancing like crazy...haha..then we got pulled to the center of the dance floor by someone...we continued dancing anyway and some people stared...but after all the dancing I was voted Best Dancer for girls!I thought I looked like an idiot but a few people said I danced well..so..thanks..hehe.In between the dancing we also had the best dressed guy and gal award,in the "Are You Hot?" style.In the end the winners were Krystal and Ross,so they had to slow dance for a while!At around 11 the party ended and we headed back to church on the buses.
We didn't feel like going home yet,so Jamie,Ed and I went to TM to watch a midnight movie,Cold Creek Manor.It was a lil draggy,but the ending where the murderer tried to kill them was interesting.It was so cold in the theater that the three of us felt like we were frozen,and came out shivering.At the end of the day my head felt tired and my feet were killing me,but the fun we had was all worth it!

I just noticed I haven't updated for about 3 weeks...was caught up in other things...mostly running around orchard road and suntec looking for new clothes for the party on Saturday,like dinner and then dancing...it couldn't happen on such good timing since school ends on Friday,it'll be like a celebration! Alyssia and Ed were my shopping buddies for the day.I walked around Orchard till my feet were sore,but it's fun to go with friends and try on stuff!
I went to watch the Busker's parade on Saturday.I think the coolest act was the fire-breathing guy.There was someone performing skateboarding stunts,but he kept falling off....haha...it was so packed and people kept shifting,and my view of the parade went from good to bad as I was blocked by a lady filming the whole event.Due to the large crowd,it was also incredibly warm and by the end of it,I was grateful to enter the air-conditioned comfort of Wisma Atria for a drink as my throat was parched.It was a pretty fun day,tiring too as I was out for the whole day.
The next day,I went to church earlier as my friends and I had decided to help sell the tickets for the party.It was a quiet day,except for the rush of people out of church every time a mass ended.After about an hour,Alyssia and I went upstairs to attend the 11 am mass and sat near the youth band so we could hear them better.The guitarist was really good!After it ended we resumed our place behind the booth until the last service for the afternoon ended,then we went for lunch and window shopping with Edwin and Joseph.So that's a summary of stuff that's been going on in my life recently!Will post later!
