It's 2009!!!

Hi friends,

Heyhey, this is my first post of 2009, happy new year everybody!!!! The reason why I had been Mia-ing for so long is because I had been having fun with my cousin who came to stay with us!! We were like, playing DS so madly!! I loved it...but she left yesterday. T.T

Now, for my resolutions of 2009!! (P.S. I allow myself to break some of the rules on the 1st of Jan because I'm still getting used!! :P) If you realise some of them are kind of ambitious...may have to stretch to another year. Never mind. Out of 12 resolutions last year, I only fulfilled 3...

1. Get top in English for the whole year overall (I have lots of competitors!)
2. Get 260-270 for PSLE (Hmmm? It would be good to hit 258...then hit 260 with Higher Chinese! ;P)
3. Get 3 star pupil badge (I increase one star every year)
4. Do things QUICKLY and efficiently...with NO mistakes!!! (Ever took 1hr 30 mins to eat dinner? Or 4hrs to do one worksheet? And still make careless mistakes? I daydream too much)
5. Do skipping everyday, 5-10 mins (I barely scraped my NAPFA test)
6. Study the Bible more regularly (I spend very little time doing so)
7. Do very well in Science, Maths and HCL! (Maths and Science below average, HCL not as good as I would like it to be)
8. Get the Suzuki Solo Performer position (This means that I have to do better than others in the test. While playing the song that sounds like a howling cat and a wailing bat drowning in a pile of fresh deep crap that I told you about: La Folia! The one where the exam was shifted to 18 Jan)T_T
9. Spend less than half an hour on the com everyday when school starts with the exception of school work, checking email and public/school holidays.
10. Be a good girl. (I have been very naughty this year. Would you believe me if I told you I had a mini water fight on the school bus once? And I had been a little too proud too)
11. Study more and efficiently.

That's my list in all... Happy new year and All the best in fulfilling your resolutions!!!

P.S. I shall vanish from here from tomorrow onwards...I may not do more than reply tags...I will not visit blogs nor update unless I have a good reason to do so or it's the weekends...so byebye. See you on a weekend!!

Cheers

Merry Christmas!!!...

Hi friends,

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas!! And a happy new year. Whatever. Enjoy your holidays which are ending pretty soon. Soon we'll be back in school. Maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's not. Never mind. For all I know, the worst thing about school reopening is: not being able to get used to the flow of another year at school. But how bad can it get, when you've got friends, jokes, plenty of humour and lots of fun with your friends. Instead of sitting around the house so wu liao. Sit in front of the computer, sit in front of my table, everyday is the same. Sigh.

So Merry Christmas once again, with well wishes for 2009. All the best for a new year, regardless whether you are heading to a new secondary school, or facing P6. Or P5. Never mind.

A card does make Christmas nicer too. I just received a Christmas card from my buddy in Japan. She is sweet. Although I have only been talking to her for the few days I met her in Japan, she still remembers me. She actually learnt English so that she could communicate with me in Japan plus write this card in English! Here's the card:





I sent her a card in reply.

That's about it. Merry Christmas buddy.

P.S. I want to kick Maths in the ass. When I do Maths there is a 200% chance that I will make at least 5 mistakes. Like today.

Photos!!

Hi friends,

Today there will be photos and a little extra stuff that I forgot to say in the last post. My brother had picked up an interesting habit while he was there. You know what it was (but he dropped it the minute we returned :()? It was picking dandruff from my hair! It's funny, but things get hilarious when my brother does it! He would go "Ah, I see a harvest field here!" and "OOI don't move!! You see lah I lost it!" and "Aiyah today got crisis leh why your hair so clean today?!". He took a picture of my hair but deleted it later because he could not find any dandruff. :P But seriously, he did keep my hair rather clean during those days. Haha!!

P.S. I did not go theme park, because...we didn't want to?

PhOtOs!!


This is Kookies&Kream! Kute right?


The Christmas Choir!! Their singing is awesome!!


The view from my hotel room. Shiok!!


Santa Claus, my family and the extra pretty lady that Santa ran away with! LOL


That's my brother trying to snap a shot of me when my dad was taking a picture of me. In the end he got snapped into the photo too. He always does that;when my photo was about to be taken he would go "wait ah wait!!" and snap just in time. I remember when I would try to pose in funny angles to escape him and he would snap his photos in funny angles. Haha! But anyway all deleted...


Yummy yummy cupcakes!!


My brother the model! Hehe. My mum says he looked good in this pic!


Shopping at the PONEY clothes fair. :(


My bro and I in front of the Mongolian Fair.


Bro, mum and I in front of the Christmas Tree at the Resort Check-in. If you look carefully my brother's hand is right behind my head, ready to give me a good whack. Lol!

And that's about it...MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!

Cheers

Huuray! I'm back!

Hi friends,

HoorayI'mbackhoorayi'mbackhoorayI'mbackhoorayI'mback...
20 minutes later
Hey guess what? Hooray I'm back!! Haha. I'm so glad to be back in S'pore, to return chatting with all of you on yahoo!, to reunite my hands with my computer after they had been relinquished from my beloved computer for so long!! Okay, enough crapping. My trip has been sucky and cool at the same time. Confused? Okay, I'm going tell you the sucky bits first. xian ku hou tian.

Firstly, Genting gave my brother and I 3 "presents". Runny nose, sore throat and cough. *aacck* I have gotten rid of the sore throat soon enough, thank goodness, but my cough and runny nose is going to plague me for some time. My bro hacked like mad.

Secondly, my bro and dad got to sleep in the hotel while I had to follow my mum to go shopping!!! That's because my dad started complaining, brother started yawning and when my mum gave my bro a pink shirt to try he tried it, said he didn't like it and fled when my mum was not aware. So I went around trying clothes and came back with 3 tops and 3 bottoms. Not too bad. Last time bought the whole shop. lol.

Thirdly, I got a bit dizzy halfway ALWAYS through breakfast.(Lunch and dinner okay.) And I felt like throwing up whenever I pass by the SWEET foods like doughnuts, so I didn't eat them. Here's a bit of advice: next time you feel dizzy either eat porridge, yogurt, fruit or all 3, like me. Speaking of which, once I was eating siew mai and the SWEETNESS of the prawn flooded my mind and I could hear nothing except a voice telling me "If you eat that you will throw up" and I could not bring myself to swallow it so guess what I did? I spit the mushy mess into my glass of juice and blocked the glass with tissue. In the end my mum discovered. Sigh.

Now for the good bits! Firstly my mum bought me a soft toy cow that came with a little pouch of chocs! I'm sorry that I forgot to buy you all presents, I will see if I can share a bit of chocolate. But main thing is the cow, so cute! Will post pic in another post, if not this post will be too long. I named the cow Kookies&Kream. Yum!

Secondly, there was a lot of Christmas caroling and man, that choir sure can sing. The best parts are the acapella songs, real nice! There's also a really chubby Santa Claus who walks around with this extra young and pretty lady to take photos and it seems like Santa betrayed his wife and eloped with some girl. KIDDING! Didn't mean that. My parents made me take photo with them too.

Thirdly, studying, music, boredom, anything worth worrying about was all gone from my mind! I wanted to escape from them, and I sure did!! Now, back to the old millstone... :( Waaah.

Lastly, this is not involved with Genting but it's still cool. I received a letter minutes after returning and the contents stated that my violin exam was...SHIFTED TO JANUARY 18!!! YOOHOOOOOO!!!!

What a lot I have written! I don't blame you if you didn't survive it all. Don't worry, next post consists of only pics!

Woah

It's On A MoNdAy!!!

Hi friends,

Guess what? It's On A MoNdAy!! My ticket to freedom from boredom is coming my way on this coming Monday!! YEAH, rock that! I will be in Genting from 15-19 December, so I will be missing in action then. Doesn't really matter anyway.

However, I have gone to Genting last year as well, in 2006 as well, in 2005 as well, in 2004 as well, in 2003 as well, in 2002 as well, and in 2001 as well. Yep, I go to Genting every year since I was 4! How cool is that! Er...I don't know...

anyway, can't wait to escape from the endless boredom here, I am going to soak up the Christmas atmosphere in Genting! Write my story(yeps I got an idea at last!!), study Twilight, play with my teddy bear! (the one in the dammit series) He's coming with me! And watch hours and hours of TV! The only part I dread is...shopping. I will be dragged out of the room while watching a fabulous show at its climax and sit around in changing rooms. T_T

However, amongst the joy, there has to be some pooper somewhere. You want to know what it is? Fine. I WILL BE HAVING MY SUZUKI VIOLIN EXAM ON THE 21st DECEMBER!!! AAAAH, save me!! That is one day after I return from my trip. I have to recover 5 days of practice in one day! Impossible!! I have to worry about that while in Genting. I wonder if I should bring my notes there...(I can't bring my violin)

Happy hols, pals. Enjoy it because it's ending in 3 weeks...T_T

Dammit!

Hi friends

I mean, it's a pretty simple phrase. Damn it! Damned! Damn whatever shit there is. This phrase is rather common in the dialogues of teens. They plant it all over their conversations. Squeeze it in wherever there is space. Have you ever wondered why? I am telling you, it because they have been reading too much and got influenced from young. Check this out people.



Saw it? Of course you did. It's in red. Okay, fine I know I am being lame, but I was kind of tickled by it. Actually that book came in a little package that I bought when I was younger, and actually it's kind of nice. The package only cost 3.90! So cheap! Check it out!



Yep, that's right, 3.90 only for a book and a soft toy package! It's a pretty good Christmas present for little kids, too! But I am NOT selling it okay? :P

Results

Hi friends,

At last, here is the moment you have been waiting for(or maybe not). Here is the answer to the first challenge. And the answer is...2.10! Congratulations William and Siew Rong(who certainly knew the answer)

I am a bit to impatient to wait for tomorrow so I am going to post the answer for Challenge 2. The answer is 200m/min. Guess it is not challenging enough for the math shifus or they are busy enjoying themselves with other fun stuff.

Those of you who absolutely detest Maths, don't worry. There are no more challenges. YAYYAYAY!

Cheers
Grapesgirl

See stars? You are not alone

Hi friends,

Math Shifus out there, are you HUNGRY for more? Here's a harder one if you want it! Answer for previous question will be out tomorrow and answer for this question, out the day after! Try out the Math Challenge Number 2!

Two motorists, A and B, started travelling from the same end of a road at the same time. They were travelling in the same direction as a cyclist at a distance ahead. After travelling for 6 minutes, Motorist A over took the cyclist. Two minutes later, Motorist B overtook the same cyclist. Given that Motorist A and Motorist B travelled at an average speed of 1000m/min and 800m/min respectively, find the average speed of the cyclist.

Seeing stars? Don't worry, you are not alone. I was totally dazed at this awful question. But if this is a piece of cake to you, with whipped cream and icing, congratulations, please post your answer at the cbox. Awaiting your answer!!

The bored person who keeps throwing challenges to tickle others,
Grapesgirl

I have been thrown the challenge. Throw a try!

Hi friends,

I was griping that the holidays were boring. My father heard that. Guess what that means? THIS. Check this question out people.

Town P and Town Q are 640 km apart. At 7.30 am, Mr Lim left Town P for Town Q. He travelled at an average speed of 60km/h. 4 hours later, Mr Muthu left Town Q for Town P travelling at an average speed of 90km/h. At what time did the two men pass each other?

So, now that the competition of the messy tables is over, now let's bring forth the challenge of this Math Question! If you think you've gotten it, you think the light bulb has lit up, you think it's clear as the bright daylight, POST IT AT THE CBOX! I shall publicise the answer from my beloved answer key in 3 days time.

You have 3 days. Don't hesitate to write your answer at the cbox. Put on your thinking cap NOW!

PEPS(I)

Hi friends,

You know, those times when you happen to think about some things subconsciously? You have no intention of thinking of them and when you are doing your own stuff you just think of it and sometimes you don't even know? Well, I was thinking about my old PEPS friends. Thinking.

Oh sure, I have got their blogs all right. I can chat with them online. But things are different, somehow. I remember when I visited PEPS on Teacher's Day. I saw my friends, a whole lot of them, and I smiled. But then somehow, the feeling isn't like in the times of Primary 3. There had been a fire, and it seems to have cooled down. Maybe a few sparks are left. I want to ignite the sparks, I want things to be just the way they used to be-but in an indescribable, unknown way, they are different.

I remember when news that I was leaving PEPS was spread. My friends were like "I thought you say you are not going/!" and "Why you must go leh?!" and I wondered, yah hor, why must I go leh, I don't want to go! But I went.

During my last few days there they were really sweet. I remember one scene very clearly, as clear as it happened yesterday. Maybe even clearer (after all, I forgot what I ate for lunch yesterday). Jia Feng gave me a bookmark as a present and somehow it looks a bit like a bubble-blower. So I gave to Grace Xin and just for fun I told her to "blow a bubble" and make a wish that would come true. (yes, I know that was childish!) She wished that I would not leave PEPS. But I did.

Some friends like Nur Atiqah who sat next to me in form class gave me a little pack of cards telling me that she would miss me. Others did the same, like Kassandra, etc. And Jerlyn was really nice. And the list of nice things goes on.

I miss PEPS from my friends and teachers to the tuna sandwiches at the canteen and the brightly painted toilets. (I remember there was this cubicle with a gigantic Minnie Mouse painted on it.)

A good thing is that some of my PEPS friends live near me, lie Gena and Edmond.

Luv ya, PEPS!

Check out this pic

Hi friends

I dread every day. Nothing interesting. Excitement of competition of the messy tables over. Boring. So, I have decided to show all of you a pic that I drew using the Paint program in my computer. Check this pic out.



Oh yeah I know it's a horrendous picture. You probably don't know what it is. I suck at drawing both freehand and using a computer. It's a clock that is being stabbed viciously with a knife. A sharp, glinting knife. It's bleeding. And it's dead!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

I have to thank Ayn for this. She suggested something to "kill time" since I hate it so much. So here it is. I killed it. I am so evil. Mwahahaha.

I wish you all a brighter day. Save this pic in your com whenever you feel like time is betraying you. Hope it will make you feel better. On the other hand, if you find it absolutely disgusting and is an eyesore, tell me.

Cheers

Hi friends,

I don't know why am I so obedient to do quizzes that I have been tagged to do, but anyway, I wanted to do it in the perspective of cow dung but I thought otherwise. Doesn't seem very nice to have you throwing up on your computer. Another day, maybe.
