Rewind a take a walk down memory lane...

Hi, I've decided to update my lj with stuff I've been doing recently. School is not exactly a bed of roses. I want to slap those JC kids who say that poly is a great place to cater to your learning abilities. I would totally beg to differ.
When school barely started just after a month, projects were thrown at us and some of which required critical thinking. How would you react when someone throws you an assignment or a project asking you to start your own business, plan your own strategies, budget planning and shit stuff with the use of Microsoft excel and other computer softwares that you've yet to hear of?
Half a semester is gone. I'm into my mid semester tests now and my tests clashes with the due dates of my projects. Assignments may not be never-ending but it really requires a lot of effort. That's poly for you.

My Care Person, somwhat like a form teacher, thinks that there's only St Hilda's Primary but no secondary school so my class couldn't stop teasing me. It was really awkward for a bunch of us walking in our old uniforms walking around in school because many stared at us. Classmates think that I look like a sec 2 kid with my SHSS uniform but I look more mature in KC's uniform.
Term break, I am waiting for my term breaaaaak!

And of course, my skirt felt a little tighter. Whoops :S

Ugh I've been having leg cramps lately, especially when I sleep! :(
And it's pretty disruptive because I can't sleep! What's more it's like 2 consecutive times on the same leg.

K I was being so paranoid today because people tell me I look wild? AM I? Haha I have no idea why but yes. People say they see me at zouk or chijmes or whatever. Hmmm.

Had lunch with Gladys at Qiji and met 2 ladies I knew since last year and stuff. And went to subway to look for Emma and Baohui but they're not there by the time we went there :(
I met dear Natalie today after lunch to get my present and the presents are freaking cuteeeee. The present received was given by my navteens camp group last year, which consists of Natalie, Darren, Yiwen, Weizhi and Samuel. Thanks peopleeeee :)

I''m crazy over the sound of music soundtrack SIXTEEN GOING ON SEVENTEEN. You're dead people, I'm gonna sing it in class hahaaaaa!!

Teammates are one of the most important people in my life. That includes those who are reading my blog too! :D
I weather sunshine and storms with them and without showing any sign of sadness, they are the ones who can sense it. Well this explains why they're a part of me. Yes, thank you mytidalwaves (WEISHIIII), you're my hero ;)

Well actually I've long forgotten about that really minor incident that blew up into an outrage of shooting each other in blogs because I don't bother about what people say about me so long as my conscience is clear and because I'm a happy-go-lucky person. You hardly see me frowning or crying right?

Ahhhh I LOVE YOU WEISHI <3
I let the whole world know that I love you so this is actually a public post! ♥

I had tuition and headed to the hospital to visit my uncle. Recently he was diagnosed with cancer at the rectum and went under the knife several days ago. The news of his speedy recovery is surprising and pleasant to the ears. Indeed he was glowing with radiance when my family and I visited him just now.

I received a message from Brenda saying that TJC's DSA trial is on the 29th May. Ohmy I will pray so hard that they won't look at my mid year results. I'm going to slog for my prelims. I'm still considering because it's no point going there if I have to mug my life away and having to retain year after year. Not that I'm a pessimist but TJ's standard is way above mine. So I'm really gonna study hard. I have a little disadvantage here and that is my height. Awesome. I hope they'll be understanding enough though. And and and I'm hoping that there are few people applying for the DSA so that there isn't much competition going around.
But then again, I'm considering if I should go the DSA because I want to keep my choice open and not be narrow-minded. Plus I can confidently secure a place for myself so that I don't have to worry over issues like that. I CANNOT abandon my studies.

GWSL STUDY HARD.

School was boring, but not impressions 9!

Accompanied Julianne to get some hot stuff. Happened to pop into La Senza and the D cup is bigger than my face. Hahahaha kay Julianne promised to get me one. Hahahahaha.

We had Chinese compo test today, and I think i screwed it up totally.
Yeah, was rushing off to meet Manda Chong, Manda Teo, Jovy and Julianne for dinner at eighteen chefs?
Ummm and met Adaleen and Rachie baby after that.

Guess what I wanted to cryyyy because I suck at wearing heels. I think wearing heels is much more difficult than ice skating.
I was struggling, and I really wanted to give up on walking, but gah.
Concert was awesome!
And this is my first time I'm going out with one big group of classmates. I love them because they're cranky and are fun loving people. They make me go gaga.
There're more pictures, but they're with the Amanda, Adaleen and Julianne :D

WHO NEEDS SPECS WHEN SHADES ARE SO COOL?

GOODNESS GRACIOUS.
Training resumes till Founder's day. Can anyone tell me when's Founders day pleaseeeeeee?
Emma tells me it'll be in 2 weeks time.
Oh what good news.
I've planned my timetable and I've got tuition everyday, except for Monday.
KILLJOY.

Today was fine. School was nothing fantastic today.
Hah and pe was inclined pull-ups, sit-ups, sit and reach, and netball.
Was playing netball and came an elbow, hitting my spine-kidney area.
Pain resurfaced and it was excruciating. So pain that I could actually felt some sour gland secreting in my mouth.
Horrible.

I just realised that I been crazy over jack and the beanstalk.
Geez.

Seen a skinny lady?
I almost threw out when I first saw this.

I slept for about 3 hours earlier this morning, got up at 6, and went to school with heavy eyelids.
What a nice way to start the term off. I was mugging for my chemistry and physics tests till 3 in the morning.
And I was so paranoid throughout the day. And and and, I thought I was hallucinating.
Yes and I was pretty sad that I screwed up some questions for my chemistry test. So much for my hard work. Just hope that I'll pass with a reasonable grade.
AND POA TEST. I wasn't ready for it. I thought there was a test today, but I asked around. What could we do in that half an hour? Since Mrs Lam wasn't here, I thought there would be worksheets.
AND SHIT, THE TEST.
I'm very, very upset about it. My childhood dream is to be an accountant, and yet I screwed up my accounts.
My calculated profit was way off the answer. Brenda managed to balance her accounts. I'm so jealous.
Damn, I went hunting for Mrs Lam during the March holidays so that she could discuss the topic of the test. But but but, I screwed everything. Everything.

My heart breaks into 7 pieces. Mend my heart please.

I hope there isn't any test tomorrow. I.need.a.break.

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 15:16:22 GMT

Went to tp for our physics lesson. Experiment was fun.
I love soldering.
Apparently we made little balls out of it.

And 8 of us had pizza hut for lunch after our course.
Gladys and I got a pair of converse sneakers. Heh. We're gonna wear the same pair of shoes for A math remedial tomorrow.
Teehee.

Rain rain go away, come again another day D:
I'm supposed to have a swimming date with rachel today.
Let's hope that the rain will stop asap.

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 12:24:53 GMT

Geez
Something uncalled for happened today :/
Was harassed in bus 291, on the way to church earlier this morning.
Today's sermon was great. I came out with teary eyes.
All these while I've been asking why everything happens undesirably. And today's sermon was something I really needed to hear.

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 16:18:17 GMT

10 million hits and still counting.
My heart melted when i heard her sing.
Little Connie Talbot is only 6 years old.

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:00:11 GMT

Today's a leap year day :D
School was okay. I don't know skipping Amath is a blessing in disguise. Lol.
Was having a really bad flu since yesterday. Flu symptoms were in full bloom, and i felt really terrible. I felt like throwing up too. Yes I did threw up yesterday.
But I had a feeling I was going to play today, so I beared with it.
Yes, we won today. At least i went in to play, so it's kinda worth the while?
Seriously, I can't wait to step down, not because I'm not playing, but to recuperate my long term injuries, and to study.
5 more days. Gosh, time flies.
The only disadvantage is that I'll feel odd? It's like I used to come back from school at 7.30 in the evening, and now I find myself at home by 3.
TGIF!

Ah, meet the parents' session next Friday. I'm so dead.

Thu, 28 Feb 2008 14:21:34 GMT

So long, teammies.

We lost today's match. Was rather disappointing because they never won us before, until today. And I was quite upset because I went to PHS in vain. I wish I could be of some help. Chances of getting into the next round is like 1%? I don't know.
We're playing with the national champion next wed. And if we don't win, that's it.
Mixed feelings.
Happy to say that, I can focus on my studies at last. At last, like really. I've been waiting for 4 years. I'm happy to pass through this torment. I have injuries all over. Old ailments. Feet, knee cap, fingers, elbow, shoulders, neck, head, SPINE, you name it. Pain resurfaces very, very often. This is the time when I can really take a break to recover from these injuries too. Was having a casual talk with my coach during training, and when I told him the long list of ailments i have, he pitied me. I didn't indulge in self pity though. Yes, and my spine problem resurfaced again, and it's excruciating. Spine problems always resurface everytime, it's just the amount of pain. Today's one was horrible.
Sad, because it's time. Time to graduate. It's really frightening how time passes by so fast. When I attend each training, I remind myself it's 2 days closer to the prelims, 2 days closer to the big Os. 4 years of great memories, will be etched in my mind, whether it's good or bad. Teammates. We used to have little conflicts among one another. Now it's all gone. I don't mean that conflicts are enjoyable, but it's just no more of it. You just wished you had one, and at the end of it, we start laughing at each other, realizing that it's so silly.

There's a match tomorrow, with fairfield methodist. I'm quite reluctant to leave early, meaning that I'll have to skip lessons. I've been emphasizing that i really want to bury my head into the books. I really want to do so. I believe with the help and encouragement of my teachers, parents, classmates and friends, I can do it.

Ah, I'll sleep now. Morning training tomorrow D:
Take a look at my new jersey! It looks like our PE shirt. Lol.

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 12:19:04 GMT

Ah cousins. Lovely, lovely cousins.

Comforted classmates, and i turned out to be the one feeling blue instead.

YESSSSSS I'M GONNA MAKE SUSHI FOR MY RECESS TOMORROW.
Bye :D

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 14:47:53 GMT

School was alright.
I saw Jiajun eating sushi during recess today, so i made them for lunch.
Fiona, Xinying and Deanna came over to the reading room. Ate and talked there.
I miss catching up with them. Conversations were interesting!
No gossips and all that, just talking about parents and stuff like that. :O
Hahahahaha.
I hope I can catch up with them often, I really love it.

Sun, 24 Feb 2008 12:03:02 GMT

Church was fun today. It's activity day, so we played taboo and pictionary, followed by a quiz.
My team won, they consisted of Patsy, Mingwei and Justin.
Patsy is married, and pregnant with twins. So they were saying never challenge a pregnant woman, 'cos she has 3 brains :O

Went home for lunch, slept, and had tuition.
Ohh my, there's chem test tmr. I've studied, I hope I'll pass.

Anyway, I'll be singing in church on the fifth week of March, together with the sec4s.
The sec4s population is really small. There's only Shanice, Rachel and me.
So the three of us will be singing, gosh.

Rach, Jo, and Jiajun.

V'day!
