Hmm.

Hi friends,

So I'll be leaving tomorrow. I guess thats the reason why my parents didn't want me to go to Escape Theme Park today to meet my friends and - boohoo - MDM SHA AND MISS G. They know that the vomiting signal will be sent the moment I go on the rides and a volcano of vomit will erupt from my mouth for hours. And be worsened when I go up the plane. Sigh. Celia (http://www.may-our-friendship-never-end.blogspot.com/) gave a very detailed account of what happened - went crazy reading it. I WANT TO MEET THEM ALL NOW AND HEAR MISS G SAY "SHIT" AND "DAMN".

But maybe it is sort of like blessing in disguise. I mean, I spent half the day in the toilet. My digestive system decided to go on strike and while I can feel the shit in my stomach and it feels stupid IT REFUSES TO LEAVE MY BODY. When part of it did, it came out in a truckload. The other half is still in me and I finally decided to ignore it. I mean I won't die. Imagine if I were at Escape Theme Park today - bet I'd ruin everything. Besides an inner Qian Wei resides in me. Everybody thinks Qian Wei is chicken. They don't know I'm worse - I am just not that scared of rubber cockroaches. Other than that, i am much worse than her - I wouldn't go near the Haunted House and will probably end up crying on a roller coaster. YOU WON'T WANT TO SIT NEXT TO ME ON A ROLLER COASTER, I'M TELLING YOU - YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT WILL COME OUT OF MY MOUTH AND DECIDE TO LAND ON YOUR SHIRT.

So while I really wish I could meet all my awesome friends and my two fantastic teachers again, I guess it isn't too bad that I wasn't there either. Hope I can meet them all again...

Cheers

P.S. Thanks Celia for that fantastic post.

stalking and holidaying.

Hi friends

So I'll be going to a place on Friday. And vanish from Singapore for 6 days. no, I'm not going to Genting, where I've gone for the past 7 years. Since I was 4, I had been going to Genting every December. But I'm not going there this year. I'm going to Macau. Hmm. I actually miss Genting. Probably because I have developed some sort of attachment to it. Probably because I don't need to layer on 4 sweaters like I have to in Macau. Probably because I don't need to wear gloves that I wore when I was 6. Yes, they're seriously tight and a stretch of my fingers can probably break the threads. And they have Minnie Mouse's face smack in the middle.

Oh well. Not very excited, but it beats staying at home watching the sun go up and come down. Facebook and blogging and maths and piano (why can't I use the strikethrough function?!) take up a BIT of my time. It doesn't help that when I do Maths, I'm doodling instead of answering. Random squiggles take the place of numbers. Hmm. Maybe I should take up stalking 3 certain people as a hobby.

Somebody (was it william?) wrote on facebook something about us not wanting school when we are in school and wanting school when we're not in school. Being in either environment for too long may lead to brain damage, that's why.

Okay I guess thats it for now. Enjoy your holidays while they're here. Very soon I'll be wishing for holidays again.

BLAH

Hi friends,

It's been really long since the last messiest table competition. Hmm. I'm feeling kinda bored, and just want to have like, a poll or competition or quiz or something. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND. ArGH. BLAHBLAH. What am I saying.

Okay. Let's talk about anything under the sun. The cow dung sounds like a nice start.

...

Okay this stinks. Bleargh. Say something!!

...

Okay, what the hell am I doing.

...

Okay, how many times have I said "okay"?

...

Okay, this is getting retarded.

...

OKAY, MAKE ME SHUT UP AND SAY SOMETHING YOURSELF.

Okay, I said okay 8 times.

Or was that nine?

Argh why do I care.

The end.

-.-

At least I'm occupying my time writing senseless crap on my blog.

Good Night.

Oh, and stalking sounds like a fun activity.

Oh, and we're going to Macau for the holidays for the first time ; I've always gone to Genting. For 7 years we've been going to Genting. So I think I have some sort of attachment to it; I kinda miss it now.

Okay byebye.

wow.

nothing. just wanted to say, the unity of 6F is actually pretty amazing. I mean, look at 6K. Or even TAG4. We live in different worlds, different cliques. 5K and 4K was so much, so much better.
But never mind. I still love 6k and TAG4. We shouldn't say goodbye. We're still friends, and we still rock and we still chat online.

SORRY GUYS.

Hi friends

SORRY FOR:
1. Not visiting and tagging your blogs.
2. Not replying your tags.
3. Being dead.

I kinda lost the zeal I used to have for blogging, and I believe Facebook is to blame. Agnes (http://balloons-flyingaway.blogspot.com/) , I know your debate team is working on a debate on whether facebook is good or bad or something. I don't know what side you guys are taking but if your side is saying that facebook is bad, let me throw in another reason: It makes people like me forget about blogs. :P

So anyway the PSLE results are out, and I'm not going to ask you what you guys got, but if you feel like a green chicken after seeing your results, (green chickens eat shit, poop shit, smell like shit etc. so you feel like shit if you feel like a green chicken) don't get discouraged, because every green chicken has its day. Brighten up: it's over, and we are moving on to a new passage. You may think it's easy for me to say when I am not feeling too bad about my results and I agree. But it's a fact...and it's true. Or at least my inner green chicken says so. :P So let's FORGET about it...there will always be a good secondary school for you, if you hate it then strive to be the top and own the rest!!! ;P

Just in case you really want to know my results, it's 266. Wish I could put in white colour (a trick by Siew Rong) but I can't change font colour for some dumb reason.

We're all feeling bored now..."I have nothing to do!!" "I might actually want homework!" but I realise that for me, while I feel that I'm bored and have nothing to do, it's not exactly true. When I feel bored and try to look for something to do in the afternoons, my eyes and mind automatically work together to block out the following options:
1. Piano.
2. Theory.
3. Violin.
4. Algebra.
5. All other options that include preparing for next year.

So where does the time go to? You got it. Facebook. Damn.

My dad is getting worried that I'm addicted. Yes I know he's going to read this. Never mind. Well I'm not addicted I can quit anytime BUT let me get my golden poo first.

Oh well. The pile of theory that I was supposed to do at 11.30a.m. is still sitting on the table. Untouched. And it's 2.44 p.m. now. I turned to blogging as a last resort to occupy my time before I do that awfully mind-boggling chore. And I think I'm starting to like blogging again. And it's time for me to turn to that stupid book of theory again. Bye. :(

AND YES my dad will say that I can't say negative things that will influence my mindset. After he reads this. I KNOW IT. Well we'll all try not to say negative stuff. I think Shermaine (http://welcome--tomyhappyworld.blogspot.com/) could give me some lessons.

Hi five, anyone of my comrades who abhor theory.

PSLE results in 2 weeks. yes, I want to depress everybody.

Hi friends,

It's actually back coming in 2 weeks. It seems so...fast? I mean like we just finished PSLE and the results are going to be out. HOW FREAKY IS THAT.

I was thinking that it would be better if they don't reveal the score. I mean, they could tell us the "highest school" that we can enter (as in, the best school which accepts your score) and save us a lot of anxiety and stuff, especially for those who DSAed because the school they applied for will be the school they will be told. No one wants his exact score right in the face unless he knows that it's going to be good. I know the confident ones look forward to seeing their real score but seriously what good does it do. Well, if you score well, then go ahead and be happy. But a not bad, but maybe disappointing score only makes us depressed. Besides, when everybody starts comparing PSLE scores you feel like disappearing. If you're disappointed.

Some people ask me: What am I so scared about? I have already been accepted through DSA! Well, call me proud or anything, but will anybody ever say, "I am in NYGH and I got 240 (not saying that's a lousy score but I don't think 240 can get you into NYGH)" I mean what would people think?!

So anyway while the dreaded day approaches I think I'll try to avoid thinking about it. All the best guys. Check out this vid for anxiety relief:

Some random stuff.

Hi friends,

I really want to blog but I really don't know what to blog so I'm going to list down a whole list of random stuff. Really random.

1. You know, those calendars? The ones that have pictures and come with famous quotes or "tips" on how to live and all that? Well, there was one page where the quote was "A thousand miles journey is started by taking the FIRST step." And guess what the picture that came with it was? The picture of a tiny little butterfly resting on a plant, centimetres away from this GIGANTIC spider web. One leg was already brushing a thread of the web, like it was going to take its first step into the fantastic trap ahead. Wow. How ironic. A thousand miles journey to where? Down the spider's stomach?

2.Please, PLEASE don't think that I'm a sissy who still plays with my dolls. PLEASE it's not that I play with my dolls but when you're bored and happen to be clearing out a cupboard and have a piece of tissue in your hand you'll do anything.



Sorry, you've got to crane your neck to see this. AND let me reinforce this fact: I DO NOT PLAY WITH MY DOLLS, AND I'M NOT A SISSY. But if you're going to think of the fact that the dress sucks and the entire thing is just sick then I'm fine with it because I fully agree. All you need to make this dress is tissue paper, scotch tape and a hell lot of boredom. Done.

3. I'm seriously obsessed with pet society. So much that I'm neglecting my blog and poor Durian. Can't remember the last time I fed him.

4. Now all we do in school is play UNO and Stress and Tahiti and do some crazy gaming in the com lab. And scream at each other. And act like lunatics. And attend physics workshops and visit an old folks' home. But it's actually pretty fun. You can check out snippets of what happened at the NUS workshop at www.grab-your-mouse-and-double-click.blogspot.com, where Way attached videos. They are short and REALLY FUNNY. And life is fun - what with everybody playing boxhead, mapling, and teasing each other about their "significant halves". >:P An Yee's a total expert at that - her ears, eyes and brain are naturally sharp. Same goes for Claire. The recent targets have been _____ and ______ and ______ and ______. *knowing smile*

5. I LOVE DEMI LOVATO!! And almost every song from her "here we go again" album. I want that album!!

. I have decided to go Nanyang after some consideration. My dad and I listed out the
pros and cons of both RGS and NYGH and we've concluded that thanks to the location of NYGH and my sucky Math Nanyang is where I'm most likely going. To elaborate on the sucky Math bit, not that NYGH is poorer in Math than RGS, but, to quote from a forum, "What I heard abt NYGH is that the girls are gradually guided to the deep end of the pool over the 4 years while in RGS there are thrown into the deep end of the pool from day 1." There you go. That pretty much seals where I'm going. And of course the fantastic part is that I get to see Siew Rong. :)

7. While having breakfast I saw this dog that looks like a very cute bundle of cotton wool. My mum was like "TAKE PICTURE TAKE PICTURE." So we approached the owners and my mum excited snapped these pics. That dog was very friendly, didn't even make a sound when we took pictures!





8. The end? ... This post is ridiculously lame...

Here's a topic my dad would disapprove of.

Hi friends,

Before I get to that just want to talk about Celia's birthday party. Actually I wanted a nice super long post but sadly I'm becoming a lazy pig. Furthermore, there was some problems with the photos and I can't get them onto the computer. So I'm just going to say that the party was a BLAST!!!! Xin Ying,Clement, Mingrou, Danson, Qian Wei, Evelyn, Celine and I attended. Totally fantastic, had all of us laughing like mad monkeys. I think one person that made the day really, really funny was Clement. *evil grin* xing zai le huo...>:P The sweet hunt, water balloon fight, youtubing, and the section where Clement was really entertaining (no offence), was crazy. Anyway I want to thank Celia and everybody else for a great time.

So now I'm going to post something random because I don't know what to post - that is how "colourful" (not in the way that English teachers like) my language has become. And how my thoughts change. Was just thinking about it when I decided to post it. Hmm...here's an example: these are the answers that I would give during different times to the same question.

Question: Describe your feelings about different subjects.

WAIT- ALL TEACHERS, THE RED 'X' IS RIGHT THERE, CLICK NOW!! Or if you want to, just read the Primary one version.

Primary One answer: (in cute voice) I like English. I like Maths. I like Chinese. *cute grin*
Primary 2 answer: (in voice that is slightly less cute)I really like English! Maths is quite nice lah. I don't really like Chinese leh...but still quite okay lah.
Primary 3 answer: (in a voice that is far from cute) English totally rocks!!! Maths ah...I kinda like it but maybe not as much as English? Chinese? Well I don't think I like it that much but it's still quite okay... [dui bu qi, chen lao shi (peps)]Science, I totally love it!!
Primary 4 answer: (in a voice that is SERIOUSLY NOT CUTE)Tell you man, English is so damn cool!!! Maths, don't ask me about it, it (what you do to a lollipop)! (Miss Tan, I AM REALLY SORRY I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY) Chinese is alright, not as bad as Maths but it still (what you do to a straw). (chen lao shi (nhps), wo zhen de hen dui bu qi.)Science is pretty cool...
Primary 5 answer: (in a voice that is JUST DAMN ANYTHING BUT CUTE) Boy, English SERIOUSLY ROCKS, IT'S SO DAMN FRIGGIN (sorry) AWESOME !!! Maths, it really stinks like _____ (Mdm Sha, I'm really seriously sorry, you know what just click the red 'X' right now.Or actually, a couple of seconds ago.)Chinese is quite alright, but it still stinks. (Sheesh, chen lao shi dui bu qi!!!!! nin jiu jia zhuang mei kan dao ba...)Science, well, it's kinda cool. Then again, maybe not so cool? (Mrs Peer, just pretend that you didn't see the second sentence. Then again, sorry...)
Primary 6 answer: (in a voice that is NOT CUTE, SO NOT CUTE, AND YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT CUTE, DAMMIT!) Well, English didn't rock it like last year but who says that it doesn't kick (another word for donkey)??!!! No matter what it will always kick (another word for donkey)!!(Sorry Mrs Goh for the first line...) Hey, Maths doesn't rock...but it doesn't mean that it stinks, and it doesn't mean that it sucks! It sorta stinks but not as bad as last year, in fact much nicer than last year. Nowhere near last year but nowhere near English. (Mdm Sha, SORRY....I will accept rotten eggs...)Chinese is actually pretty okay, maybe even cool...Science is also kinda cool, in fact I sort of like it, maybe not as much as Primary 3...(Mdm Teo, I'm sorry...)

Firstly I want to say that no matter what I'm totally grateful that I have such fantastic teachers every single year and ALL of them rock, I am thankful for their dedication, effort, guidance and patience. THANK YOU.

The only feeling that can describe how I feel now is really, totally guilty. For two reasons: the descriptions that I don't want teachers to take to heart and some of the inappropriate words used. But that's how my language has changed since Primary 1, and maybe I can't help it. Maybe I can. I don't know how it happened, it just changed "naturally". All those words just jumped and made their home in my speech. But hey if I were to stick with the Primary 1 descrption all the time people would think that I'm some really weird person with the brain of an octopus controlling my speech and thoughts. I have no idea what an octopus' brain is like but I don't think it's very normal. While the change in my way of talking isn't very good I think it wouldn't be nice to have the brain of an octopus controlling my speech. No one talks in the Primary One way now right?! Even if your speech isn't peppered with words that shouldn't be there WHO TALKS LIKE THE PRIMARY ONE ME. It will naturally leave me, those words that I use that aren't supposed to be used, I guess, but I doubt that I will be making much effort to change it.

Ooops.

The historic moment

Hi friends,

Today is the day. Today is the historic day of every singaporean Primary 6 student's life. Today, dead blogs will be revived simultaneously, cboxes will be buzzing, and green chickens will -

Wait. Stop. I'm dreaming, ain't I. Yes I KNEW IT. PSLE hasn't even started. I'm just dreaming a dream that is very long and very real. Of course I'm dreaming. This ain't possible. I bet there will be another exam when I wake up. Or maybe PSLE hasn't started. Whatever it is, I -

What? What did you say? You said that I am not dreaming? WTF? I know you are lying. You are lying. Stop trying to trick me you retar -

You insist that this is real? That PSLE is over. Cmon, I don't believe you. Prove that it is real, then. Pinch me or punch me to prove it. Pinch lah you moro -

OOOOWWWWWW!!!!! You didn't have to pinch that hard did you?! Wait a minute...that means that I'm not dreamming right? REALLY?

Oh. Okay. Well then I'm not dreaming. Cover your ears.

......

......

......






YYYYYEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
THIS IS FRICKING UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Um. Sorry about that. It was just...um....so....BOOMZ!

A sudden rush of euphoria can really fire me up. :) But seriously who isn't feeling fired up now?! PSLE is over. That dirty four-letter word (with no sick meanings) is over. I'm free. You're free. We're all FREEEEEEEEE!!!! After weeks of nearly losing our sanity we survived. Therefore I would like to congratulate every P6 student for pulling through without ending up in an asylum. (If you did end up in an asylum then I congratulate you for recovering. If you have not recovered then I really don't know what to say.) I will have to say that right now I'm still worrying about every single paper that I've done. But worrying isn't going to make my marks higher. On the day I receive my results, I may smile until my face muscles ache. Or I may tear up the results and swear all the way home. Or I may cry. Whatever. I DON'T CARE ANYMORE. At least, I don't care now. Although I'll probably care later.

Congratulations to all P6 friends - we've tried our best and that's what matters now. YOU GUYS ROCK MORE THAN MY SOCKS OFF-MY SHOES AS WELL. WHOOOO!

As for those of you who are just starting your examinations, all the best - freedom ain't far away. Add oil!! Loads of that golden liquid! JYJY! Um not literally of course.

I'd like to wrap this post up with this picture:



you don't have to remind me that the drawing is terrible.

All the best for those who haven;t taken the exams and LET'S PARTY for P6 students!

Blah. I have to take GAT. Waaah.

Hi friends,

Well yeah this is the day I have been waiting for since 2 months ago. It's the last day of school. But I guess I am not too enthusiastic, and I have no idea why. Never mind, at least I got to slack today. :)

Firstly I have gotten back my results, and I don't really want to let you all know my overall score upon 500, but anyway its 390.3/500 (what I remember, too lazy to check the book). GAH. And my percentage is 78.5, which means that I have to take the GAT when I apply for DSA. AND THAT SUCKS. I will be applying to 3 schools and well, that's the test 3 times. A lot of stuff pulled me back from reaching that beloved 80. Oh well, I absolutely abhor Term 1 (all subj) and Term 2(chinese + HCL). They seem to enjoy dunking my head into the toilet bowl...maybe it's their hobby. I want to make sure that kicking the poop out of their butts will be my next hobby. RoAr. :D

Okay so now I have set out the people that I REALLY, REALLY want to win for the following subjects next term. No offence if your name's there, it's just my personal target. It's an acknowledgment that you're REALLY, REALLY good, enough to earn a distinction's worth of sunglasses on my rock-o-meter. So I want to win you. :P

English - Jonathan, Daniel, Stephanie, Minyi - you guys are REALLY, REALLY pro.
Maths - No target person so far...maybe Jiale or Evelyn or Xin Ying. I don't normally set target people for Maths because I have no idea who to set as my target. But I do hope to get an 82 or 83, I've got enough of the 60s and 70s. :)
Science - No target person too. I don't know...I would like something above 85. A lofty ambition but I...well, I don't know.
Chinese/HCL - Hmm. I have dropped a lot but I certainly believe I can do better so I hope that I can reach somewhere near Mingrou. Which is very high. Shermaine and Zhe Xuan are too pro for me to reach...

So well, that's the results. But I don't want the blog post to be so short so I want to post something that is sort of lame and dumb but relevant to secondary schools.

Advertisement for Spammers Secondary School:

ATTENTION TO ALL STUDENTS!
Do you have a passion for spamming? Have you been admired for your spamming abilities? Or are you always annoyed by others online and made a target of spamming and want to master spamming to counter them? If you have the potential to spam and if you are willing to work hard, Spammers Secondary School is for you! We hire nurtured teachers who give their best in spreading the art of spamming and your spamming potential will bring you to success under the hands of our teachers!

Subjects offered are English, Maths, Science, HCL, CL, spamming and blogging. You may think that's a lot to handle but with the use of a spamming method learning is effortless. No worries, we don't spam students with worksheets. Instead, vocabulary, beautiful phrases and other concepts are inserted into spamming. We spam their worksheets with these until they are firmly rooted into their brains. They are encouraged to spam their friends with concepts and creative phrases on chats and blogs to push each other on. Of course, they need to be relevant to the chat topic. For example, if a student complains of stress, one can spam his blog with "We're in the same boat. We're crumbling under the weight of stress and this tentacled monster threatens to snap us with his powerful palms." and other phrases. If it's something about a student's eyesight detoriating and the need for myopia, one can blast his blog with information on bilberries, a fruit that is good for the eyes.(science) Everybody will benefit and learn together!

We believe in letting students have maximum resources to study and have fun, so not only are there many books in the library (including spamming and blogging guides), we have a game that serves as their spamming ground and a blog made for every one of them! The spamming game is extremely fun and teachers will track your results and give you advice. Your blogs are not free for teachers to read, but blogging advice will be given to teach you to express feelings freely, etc.

Skills taught during spamming include "Spamming to help oneself learn", "Spamming to defend oneself from an online bully", "Spamming to annoy a person" and "Spamming to get a person to stop ignoring you online". If you want to learn all that, you can enter through DSA. Instead of GATs, students are given a scenario where they have to spam and examined on how fast they spam, the contents of their spamming (not just jumbled letters unless its to get a person sleeping to wake up)and other stuff.

Apply now! www.spammersjuniorcollege.sg/dsa

Spam your way to success!

END

That was utterly lame, I know. But I guess a bit of lameness here and there is fun. :)

Happy Hols, don't forget to apply to Spammers Sec Sch!

OOH. Open house. Results. LALALA.

Hi friends,

Well the nail biting stuff is all over and I have gotten back my results. Wow. Ah. It's...good and bad all at the same time. Do you know that weird feeling when you are standing in between rafflesias and violets and it all smells lovely and crappy at the same time? Just like that, but a lot worse. I shall reveal the Rafflesias first followed by the violets (only paper 2)so that I can end this section of the post on a sweet note.

HCL - Okay to be honest I forgot my score. Um, really. I was probably trying too hard to get my mind off it. I think the conversion is around 72/100 so go convert back to the original if you want...And I know it sucks, considering that I used to hit 80s.
CL - *Begs inner blogger personality - "Must I do this?!"* Sighs. 67.5/90. Below average. ARGH. Don't come and ask me why I suddenly dropped by so much unless you want me to send my ninja scissors after you.
Maths - It's - 76/100. Yup and I know it stinks. But I didn't fail. Yes, I PASSED!!! :D I failed last term, that's why I didn't reveal my marks, and now that I passed, my hallucinating of seeing a fail didn't come true. :) *Suddenly thinks of remedial student Jiale getting 92/100* *Suddenly sees Minyi/ZheXuan/BingJian with 99/100* Smile vanishes...
English - Hmm...at least I improved from last term, but I didn't hit what I wanted. 81.5/95. T_T I have let Miss Gillian down, I used to get 89...However I am extremely relieved that I didn't do as badly as last term. :) I hope to do even better.
Science - At last, a subject that I am pleased with. 86/100!! I got a shock when I received the paper...I DON"T BELIEVE IT!! WOOTS!! *Starts dancing chicken dance*

So well that's it for the results...now on to the open house I attended today! I attended RGS and NYGH, so I'm going to talk about my opinions about both...

GENERAL ENVIROMENT
NYGH - More on the friendly, quiet side, most students should be well behaved.
RGS - More extroverted, lively, should be well behaved too.
ONE THING THAT I LIKE
NYGH - The string ensemble!! Man I heard them play and I loved it! The songs were played with passion (could tell, they were swaying with the music as they played), the songs were impressive (especially a number of bars that I remember were full of fast, running notes...Beautiful!), and it's like, the real deal.
RGS - The home economics programme, because it's actually quite fun, they displayed some stuffs that would be made (so pretty and cute, can't wait to make my own!)and there would be other fun stuff like cooking, blah. And also I like their Odessey of the Mind programme, it looks fun! It's sort of like a, skit activity.
ONE FREEBIE THAT I LIKE (yes i'm being lame)
NYGH - A furry wire twisted into a treble clef
RGS - A little shiny pin
A STUDENT THERE THAT IMPRESSED ME
NYGH - There was this really friendly girl who saw me looking sort of shy and came to strike up a conversation with me. She was so sociable and cheerful!
RGS - When my parents were walking around trying to find the school tour she approached us and asked us what we wanted. When we told her, she started the school tour herself. I think she has a lot of initiative and she was quite friendly too!

Yep and that's about it, good night for now and all the best for DSA/PSLE/Whatever crap there is.

GAHHH. Why am I posting at this time.

Hi friends,

This is going to be a short post because I am just feeling pretty fed up. Maybe it's because my poor Chinese results whacked away at my head and refused to stop. Maybe it's because my nervousness about my Maths results (which are not back yet, I'm just too panicky)and Mdm Sha's disappointed face keeps trying to cloud my mind despite me trying to shake it off. Maybe it's because today's NAPFA test was a total wreck with 0 pullups. Whatever. Nothing's that sweet even though the exams are over. GAH.

Hope tomorrow will be a better day. WHY AM I POSTING NOW, I still don't know. ByeBye. Have a nice day tomorrow everyone...

Bye bye exams, hello blogging!!! IT'S OVER! :D

Hi friends,

This is perfectly awesome. Today's my LAST EXAM!! I know I've been dead for weeks and well I shall revive myself. End of exams are as effective as CPR on this blog! WOOT! I don't know how I survived without blogging but that doesn't matter now. I'm Loving It.

Okay firstly relating to the last post. Yes my prediction was correct my death sentence came smack in my face. (last exam not the one I took recently. I took SA recently) Looks like I've got enough practice dunking my head in the toilet bowl. I failed my maths. Again. I fell short of the average for Chinese. First time. Thank goodness that was not SA. I'm just fed up I'm surprised that I've managed to swallow vulgarities that threatened to tumble out. GRRR I'm so mad that I'm going to shoot the next thing/person/animal/alien that moves. Which means you. Check this out.



XD Kidding! But seriously if I fail SA, which is the one I just took, THERE GOES MY DSA. I have already confirmed some mistakes in the SA papers I just took and I am hoping, hoping, hoping...that I don't have to dunk my head in the toilet bowl again.

Now that brings me to DSA. My parents are considering to let me apply for DSA to RGS, NYS (Siewrong!!) and maybe NJC. Whatever it is. I'm so nervous. To get in through DSA and skip the GAT test I must get average 80 for every subject. Which is out of the question. That means I have to take GAT and the interview! ARGH I'm freaking out. My Maths results may freak them interviewers out too. Maybe I should go on my knees or something. T_T

Now to happier stuff. We went to the eco garden at the Science Centre recently for enrichment. TAG 3 and 4 were combined and we were there to CATCH AQUATIC INSECTS!!! WHOOO!! We first had a video to watch. And uh, Qianwei was cringing her way through. But I don't really blame her...the pictures were magnified until it looked as if a mutant killer bug was going to leap out of the screen...at Qianwei. An Yee and I kept looking at her at specific parts of the video. I longed to take a picture of her. *evil smile* but I didn't. :(

We went on to the pond to catch insects. The braver ones went to catch dragonflies. It was so cool! My rock-o-meter would explode! We were supposed to use a net to pull out plants and search for insects in the plants. At first Way and I were a bit freaked and we did not really touch the plants. Then Mdm Teo came along. She found this really crazy insect and Way and I were like "AAAAAHHH!!!" Then Mdm Teo was like "Stop screaming and GET THE JAR!!" Then we grabbed a container, filled it with water and Mdm Teo squished the roots of the plant (which I think is a CarBombBAH!!)and the insect fell into the jar! But the insect was super swift and tried to escape so I slammed the cover on. CAPTURED! The most awesome thing about that insect is that the scientist guy told us that the insect was rare and 90% ARE FOUND IN THE MARINE!! WOOHOO we caught it! Actually its more of Mdm Teo catching it...

At that point I felt sorry for the insect. i mean, imagine if you are chilling out on the sofa watching TV. Suddenly this huge net swoops down and the next thing you know you are flying through the air. You try desperately to get of the darn net and all of a sudden you find yourself falling downwards into this gigantic jar. You strangle a scream and try fruitlessly to climb up the slippery walls. Your hopes are killed when the cover is slammed above you. It's plain terrifying.

Anyway we went on to catch more insects. We were less scared after a while and soon we were yanking the roots of the CarBombBAHH!! to find insects! And who can forget the ones who sacrificed themselves for the activity by falling into the pond. Luckily it wasn't deep. But it was muddy-VERY BROWN. Like unappealing Milo. I think around 4 people sacrificed their shoes. The hilarious part was when some tried to wash their shoes at the lab sink! *LMAO* And then we have the brave ones like An Yee and Stephanie who caught pond skaters with their bare hands!! And the invincible ones like Delvin who caught 3 dragonflies!

The insects my group found at the end of the day were cool-the rare insect, little shrimps, dragonfly nymphs, water snails!! I didn't want it to end! SO if the idea of searching through the roots of plants for insects appeals to you, go to the Science Centre! the hands-on experience is unforgettable. But be careful when handling the insects....I tried to pick up this insect that looked liked nothing when compared to an ant with tweezers and I uh, squashed it. I didn't mean to!! I merely picked it up without even really squeezing the tweezers and it died?!

I'm suddenly at a loss about how to continue this blog post-so I shall post something extremely lame.

HOW TO GET RID OF STRESS THAT IS CAUSED BY TANGIBLE REASONS
Pre-preparation:
Go to the gym and lift dumbbells.
Step 1: Take the cause of your stress-homework/exam papers/results slips.
Step 2: Hold it tightly and RIP IT. With your bare hands. It's shiok.
Why not use shredders?
1. There are so many things I want to shred that the shredder will jam.
Won't you use up your arm energy too?
1. That's why I told you to go to the gym.
Don't follow any of the above steps unless you would like to throw yourself into really deep poop.

I know that's lame but I really feel like blogging and blogging even if there's nothing to blog. But I'm afraid I've run out of ideas...no wait I haven't.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO INA AND RUIJUN!!

LOL. Anyways I wish all of you the best in all your exams and PSLE!! As for those who really detest studying and my encouragement seems dumb, check out this quote.

"Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in."
Leonardo Da Vinci
I'm not kidding you! Check out this website if you want proof http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/35699.html

Signing off now, study hard even if your brain retains nothing and persuade your teachers to get you a BBQ as a reward! ;)

good + bad = normal :)

Yo friends!

I received 2 death sentences for the past 2 days, and I can say that they are really good death sentences which can assure my head cut off by Tuesday. I've gotten around 7 demerit points(I might get even more, the are still considering to press more charges) to earn my first death sentence and around 11 demerit points (I might get even more, the are still considering to press more charges)for the second death sentence. Therefore, I can confirm that I'm going to die before Tuesday, or maybe around there, and it's time for me to worry. Hooray.

I was referring to the 2 wonderfully heartbreaking test papers I took yesterday and the day before. I messed up some really dumb questions that make me feel like dunking my head in the toilet bowl, now that I'm thinking about it. The results will be back by Tuesday, and getting those results are probably worse than dunking my head in the toilet bowl. On the bright side, it means that if someone dunked my head into the toilet bowl for fun, I would be able to bear it, since I can('t) bear the results before my eyes. But it's not like anybody will do that. DON'T TRY THAT ON ME.
The teachers seem heartbroken too, with my Chinese teacher and Maths teacher telling the class their depression. Sean was like "Mdm Sha is emo!" and well, that might as well be true. Especially when Mdm Sha broke a rubber band into bits and said that was how her heart looked like. It was sort of scary. Sorry to all teachers who have seen my offensive exam papers. Please do not look for me with a broom, mop, gun or rotten tomatoes, I apologise right now. *LMAO*

Well I haven't been talking a lot about my class, and I think I might share the cool bits.

1. Word of the Day/Name of the Day
Somebody will update the board almost daily with hilarious stuff. Check out these examples that appeared on the board.
WORD OF THE DAY - SAMUELISM
The act of worshipping oneself.
NAME OF THE DAY - Samuel Sim
A person who invented 5 rules of assumption and is a Samuelist.
WORD OF THE DAY - DANIELISM
The act of worshipping soccer balls.
WORD OF THE DAY - SHENGYOUISM
The art of staring stony faced (or was it expressionless?).

I really hope I don't offend anybody here. Forgive me if you feel angry at any information here. I will remove them if they are offensive. But seriously I have no offence against anybody.

2. Wat-cha (washa!)
It is not as popular as the Ochimbo Bird fever in Term 1, but I guess it's not outdated or unpopular yet.
Inaccurate Lyrics (ROFL) it is actually a song in a foreign language with a catchy tune. It doesn't really make sense if you don't know the meaning.
Teng-ah sin-gu wahra buteh, o- wat-cha (everybody pronounces it as "washa"), wat-cha, wat-cha

Teng-ah sin-gu wah-ra bu-teh, o- wat-cha , wat-cha, wat-cha

Wat-cha~, Wat-cha~, Wat-cha, wat-cha, wat-cha~
Wat-cha~, Wat-cha~, Wat-cha, Wat-cha, wat-cha~

And repeat everything all over again. There is no proper ending. I don't know why I'm typing all this, maybe I'm bored and just don't know what to write. Whatever. BTW my title has a "good" in it so the good thing about today is something concerning paper and words! :D Some TAG3 students know it. I won't say anyway.

Have a great day friends!!

WHOOSH. OLEOLEOLEOLEOLEOHHH

HI FRIENDS!!!

HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHHHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIuadpfiasdgofishdfoiasfposaduf!

Sorry for the over-excitement!! I'm delirious to be able to blog again! Haha. My blog seems pretty dead huh? To think that dead blogs used to be my pet peeve. Now I'm becoming one! But I am reviving it today. Shall stop crapping here and jump right into my proper blogging about Term 2!

1. I have been sent to English supplementary for my wonderful results last term for English.

Well, I had been expecting it anyway. Try being the top for English in 2008 and get that kind of result. So here I am feeling like kicking myself. No don't get me wrong I like the idea of having free tuition and I like Mrs Goh, but recently people have started to ask me this question.
"How much did you get for your English ah?"
"Why should I tell you."
"Aiyah, don't worry lah, I won't tell anybody..."
"What's the point anyway, once I tell a person the number of people who know doesn't matter anymore.
"Just tell me lah!!"
"Damn you." *Whips out a pair of scissors and stabs victim*

Just kidding, I don't carry scissors to school! And I don't mind that question either, because I have gotten over my results. I am not emo and never will be. But let me just tell you that if you ask me that question again you won't live to see tomorrow. No, I don't like having blood on my hands, you will still live to see tomorrow with a blue-black eye and broken nose. *LOL*

2. LI LAO SHI WAN SUI!!

My Chinese teacher's birthday was the day before yesterday, and let me tell you that she can rock the roof off a house and the head off a monkey!!! She is patient kind smiling sweet cool and she rules. Li Lao Shi rocks forever, sheng ri kuai le! I should be writing this section in Chinese but my Chinese-word program in my computer has the cheek to foul up at the wrong moment.

3. Music project - our group earned 15/20

It was the most hilarious group bonding project we ever had!! We were advertising on not eating shark's fin. Besides the funniest meetings and countless laughs that we had together, the project day itself was awesome despite a few foul-ups. An Yee prepared the bloody shark's fin and Ethan was supposed to eat it when the hero Stephen pushes the fin away from his mouth. Then, Shengyou and An Yee would talk about the process of killing sharks and blahblah. Samuel was supposed to be the narrator. I was the background pianist. The teacher subtracted marks for some "communication" problems but it was the best time we had together! I really miss this old group now that we are in our new groupings. It didn't seem possible that we would bond well, with An Yee and I not knowing Shengyou, Ethan, Stephen and me knowing just a tiny bit of Samuel. But we were real cool together and went on to form the memories of the "Ochimbo Bird", "Tuas South Incineration Plant" and everybody being brilliant themselves! (Samuel's "singing", An Yee's "crapping"...)

And lastly, I want to wish all P6 students good luck for your PSLE!!! Let's all do well and coax the teachers into treating us! ;P Add oil!!

I will try to blog again soon!!

Cheers
Grapesgirl

P.S. remember my resolution on getting 100 Vitagen tops listed in the "make a wish" corner? I now have a total of 111! Thanks to generous contributions from friends and myself! Congratulate me!! :)

P.P.S Have you heard of typeracer? IT rocks try it out! It's a typing game to test your typing speed :)

Feeling like the perfect idiot.

Hi friends,

So it looks like I'm back. The exams are over. But it doesn't sound like I'm rejoicing. That's because the results except Science are back too. Now maybe most of you will think I'm going to lament over my poor results and then publicly announce my awful results to prove it. But somehow, I'm not going to announce my results. There's just...something about the results that I just can't bring myself to say. I just want to dump the papers in the shredder and see them reduced to strips. The only problem is that I don't have a shredder. If you want to know more, I failed my Maths, I dropped to a rather poor result till it's around the average for chinese, and I don't want to talk about English. Some of the TAG4 and maybe TAG3 students know that I died in English class. That's all I'm saying. As for Science, I don't even want to care about what I get unless it really sucks more than the rest because the Science teacher said that the results for the entire class was equivalent to 100 chickens in a cesspool so I know that I am already going to kena. So I can now say goodbye to Term 1 with a wave of despondency rolling over me. *xin sui le* But I definitely can say that some people now are REALLY good at English. (Way, Daniel...)

And yes, remember that one of my resolutions for the song that sounded like a howling cat and a wailing bat was to get the highest mark? Well i can forget about it. Although it is not confirmed who the highest is, it's not me because judging by the score on my paper, I know that hoping that the highest will be me is like wishing that I could punch Winnie The Pooh. Not that I have anything against him but I know I can never get to punch him. Sorry for offending his fans.

But at least there's fun among it all. The school carnival starts tomorrow!! YAY!! Today was the day of the preparation so fun!! The boys had this cool idea of putting up posters at "strategic" locations so that nobody can tear it down! Because some culprits walk around tearing down every poster they see.

So exciting, there were so many stalls all over the place and it's really cool! Many stalls actually have very nice games and there's even a haunted mansion by 5G, garage sale, fishorama, Space Jam, whatever. (No offence if I didn't mention your stall) Now just describing our class' game:
Title: Bend it like Beckham
Rules: Kick the ball into the net backwards. It's pretty hard. But you get cool prizes!! Won't tell you what :P
Cost: 4$ for 5 kicks
IF YOU THINK YOU CAN BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM THEN COME TO OUR STALL AND SHOW'EM!
Haha advertising for my stall. You can advertise about your stall in the cbox if you like but on one condition: come to 6K's stall. Okay lol joking but if you could come it would be really cool.

One more thing: Happy Holidays everyone!

PEOPLE!!! Pls don't abandon me!! I'm BACK!!! And I'm tired.

Hi friends,

Yes that's right I'm back! After three weeks!! And I miss blogging to bits!! Now there are so many things I want to post about the past wild weeks that I don't know how to begin!! Um. that's a wrong sentence somehow...I have started...but never mind.

Firstly, I went for some Maths Olympiad training. What's the big deal about it? Nothing. But if the trainer sounds like he is speaking in Greek and the worksheets seem to be set in Italian, you know that there is something wrong. Something VERY VERY wrong.

Secondly I took my Chinese exam last week and my Maths(ugh)exam TODAY. Chinese was okay...I got 41.5/50. But Maths is another thing. After staring at my notes till I was sick of it and nothing entered my head I approached the dreaded paper today. And guess what? I am positively sure that I am on my way to getting a beautiful...and equally revolting fail. Hooray. Not. Why? Because I could not complete 3 questions from part B of my paper in time!!! Which means I just threw away ten marks. But it was not fair!!! I was writing my number statement for one of those super 5 mark questions when the teacher said "pens down". And I suddenly had this overwhelming urge to bash her face into the wall.

Thirdly the head prefect results are out, and heartiest congrats(maybe it's too late, they were announced two weeks ago)to Shermaine and Mingrou!! And...Tianle?

Fourthly I am absolutely sick of my homework. I have a whole list of stuff to finish and almost all of them I have not started. It's alarming. The deadlines are approaching and I haven't started. Die die must start today.

Fifthly I realised (actually I knew it all the while) how much I suck at PE. During the last few lessons I partnered Mingrou and Ng Way (alternating) and we did stuff like standing on your hands with your weight resting on your partner, walking while giving your friend a piggyback and so on. I totally crapped at it. During the part where I was to balance on the floor with both hands and my friend lifted my legs, I collapsed. When it was my turn to help my partner, I tried to lift her legs higher but my hands couldn't support it. The piggy back was awful. My friend managed to carry me and even start RUNNING. But when it was my turn, first try I dropped my friend. Second try her legs hardly came off the floor. Third try I managed to carry her but I could not walk around. That is the bad thing about being underweight.

Sixthly I guess everybody is kind of tired from all the homework loaded on you so I want to wish you good luck in completing your homework and killing your teachers for the torture too. Okay I didn't mean the second part.

P.S. I hate Wednesdays because five minutes after I come home from a tiring Maths Olympiad training I get to see my piano teacher without any preparation beforehand which sucks. I need the preparation because I don't practise piano for 6 days out of seven days, I'm too lazy. ;) You can tell me which days you hate too on the cbox if you want to.

Cheers
Grapesgirl

P.S. Please don't abandon me even if my blog is kinda dead.

Heyz. Make that short and sweet.

Hi friends,

Yeah thanks for tagging at my blog constantly, will return the favour! ;)Now I have to keep things quick so lets have a look at the news for the week.

1. I did NOT get into the SNYS. Will try again later this year!
2. I went to Batu Pahat and came back today. Whoosh. In a nutshell, I went to visit a passionfruit farm (so enormous!! acres and acres of land stretched out with fruit!), visited a rich guy's house whose house is so big and crazy that it kind of made me faint, but what really made me faint was that this awesome house COST LESS THAN MY HDB FLAT HOUSE??!! That is so impossible! My dad says that it is because Singapore has less land. :( Okay where was I...ah yes there was also a new mall in Batu Pahat other than the Summit. You know what that means? That means SHOPPING. Uh oh. This time it was worse than Genting. Far worse. I came home with this awfully terrifying pile of tops, bottoms and 2 pairs of shoes. I was like, walk into dressing room. Try clothes. Walk out. Walk in. Try clothes. Walk out. It's scary. LOL. But hey maybe that's not very funny. Anyway at least the clothes looked pretty okay, some good. Okay now so we also had this Chinese New Year dinner there and yeah I really love yusheng. Seriously the English name sounds so unappetising. Raw Fish Salad. You get the WTH is that crap? sort of feeling but it tastes really cool!! And I had a great time with my family there.

Wow. That was a big nutshell. If only I could empty the contents and write one whole long post dedicated to Batu Pahat.

3. There is this head prefect thinggy and many of my good friends joined the election and I am at a total loss at who to vote for, they are all so cool!! The only thing I know: don't vote for boys. Okay kidding!! Don't hunt me down!! It's just that I will most likely choose a girl since I am closer to them but good luck to all anyway!! You all rock!!

I guess I better get going. Have a great CNY, and have a good year for P6! (which is sooo not possible but good luck anyway)

Cheers

I...Cannot...Stand...It!! I have to blog!

Hi friends,

I just can't hold it back anymore. I have to post. With so many things bubbling around my head that I really want to blog about, I must blog. Alright, I will stop crapping. Lets see what i wanted to blog about...

This is one of the craziest years of my life. It's only 2 weeks into P6. And I'm panting already. Since when did so much work come in in term 1?! These weeks have been pretty mad. Firstly, algebra really stinks. Stinks like 20 rotten chickens in a cesspool. sorry to any Maths teacher who reads this. Okay, maybe it's not so bad, lets make that 15 chickens. But I have been spun into a whirlwind of nonsensical, un-understandable crap. Out of 100% things that the teacher says, 20% goes into my head. 80% has been processed...into soft brown stuff. You know what.

Secondly, I have been told to do some hosting thing for some MOE visitors together with my 5 friends (which is over). It's not that I had the longest script. The point is that I have the shortest script. No, that's not the point either-the point is that I had the shortest script and I keep crapping up!! If I'm not saying the wrong word, I'm speaking too fast. I guess its in me. Just talk fast, super duper fast. The good thing is that I get to miss at least 30 minutes of lesson every day for training! Ha. Ha. Ha.

Thirdly, I had to do a Show-And-Tell (which is also over)...in Chinese. About a Chinese story book. Ugh. Chinese. I totally stink at it. But at least I stink at it only at a stink-o-meter of 10 rotten chickens in a cesspool. :)

Fourthly, I just took my audition to enter SNYS (S'pore national youth sinfonia) today! The good thing is that it lasted only 5 minutes. The bad thing is that I think I didn't do well. And to blow it all up he asked me who my teacher was!! Help.

Fifthly, my test for the song that sounded like a howling cat and a wailing bat drowning in a pile of fresh deep crap-La Folia-is TOMORROW!! Help. Help. Help.

And lastly, I have been flooded with the stinkiest homework for the past 2 weeks at a stink-o-meter of 100 rotten chickens in two cesspools each, breaking the record and causing the stink-o-meter to explode. Yay. What with confusing algebra, Chinese compo, reflections on biography poems, and thousands of worksheets and research for English?!!! And more. Just throw my homework file into the cesspool too. I will need to buy a new stink-o-meter.

The good thing is that our class has become livelier than ever. never a day without laughter! Funny remarks, jokes and "theories" send us all rolling all over the floor laughing. ROFL! I love this hyperactiveness, it gets us hyper and ready to go!! And as if to compensate for the stinky algebra, most funny moments occur during Maths when we come up with ridiculous answers. Chinese is pretty fun too. We also have 7 children from Dalian joining us in our lessons and all the boys in the 7 Dalian students love soccer. This has driven all the boys in my class crazy. A soccer frenzy rose and spun the boys into a flurry of kicking and sweat. W.O.W!

All in all, these 2 weeks have been bonkers and bananas and really wild!!!! Which is a great change from the holidays! Not exactly great, but it has 20 sunglasses on the rock-o-meter. LOL.

This post is the result of 2 weeks without posting divided by 2. If only I could paste a video of all this wildness onto my blog!!! Hope all of you had a great time in school, good luck!!

Cheers
