CNY is alright i guess. i played pool again yesterday with xiwen darren kakwai amin. i definitely prefer the katong tables. parkway sticks are like super light! today wanted to go with my cousins, but ah no, my uncle butted in and said that pool was for gangsters :S rofl. did a little shopping with them (yes including the guys). bought a red topshop plain shirt. was cheap tho :)
visited my relatives and all. parents keeping my hongbaos :/ so much for that much anticipated shopping trip.. haha. anyway i have to find nicole and go shopping with her. shes like a walking live wire. a reality teevee show :)
i must remember to do my homework. someone please remind me!
oh yeah. dont ask me why but samuel is Sayuri, xp is hatsumomo and xw is mameha. ROFL such pretty geishas. :D

today was fun! me and xiwen cut CNY celebrations. we attended classes of course, then we left shortly after. i really wondered who stayed back for the celebrations man..
anyway i followed xiwen to her brother marcus' place where they thumped on the piano. the phantom of the opera is seriously a very nice piece. then we went to play pool. eugene and his friend joined us shortly. my FIRST time at pool and im hooked! i played nearly the entire afternoon and im not too klutzy at it. in short, im fine. im not good, but i dont embarrass myself either :)
im addicted to pool. i love pool. i must hone my skills!

today was quite an exciting day. maybe too exciting for me.. am i getting dull and wishywashy? maybe. im just sort of tired from the long days in MJ i guess. today however, was the most toturous day of the week. i can proudly say that i have run 5-6 km
TODAY. yes and lived to tell it. this will be shocking to all TK people cos they know how i
walk during NAPFA. yesyes the infamous walker. 3 km was during PE. and shortly after, for badminton training, we joined the Track team training. did sprints, shuttle runs and long distance training. my legs were like noodle after that. then we had proper badminton playing. :) mm, all of us sorta didnt realise how
tough it was to be in even 2nd squad. i mean we expected some drills and all. but the intensity of them plus all the damn running was.. astounding. we were like joking around that we should have joined chior or drama or stuff like that. rofl. training is no doubt tough, but hey, this week ive run 8-9km. which is AMAZING. in tkgs, we never ever run. its like one round around the basketball court. for NAPFA we train only 3 times maybe. and not 2.4km each time anyway. thus i can conclude that
ive run more this week in MJ than an entire year in TK.hohum i got a message from dunnowho saying to be a student volunteer. thus no running on Road Race! haha! yes im dying to get out of running. i dont hate it, but my knees and muslces are seriously aching.
coach didnt allow me to attend OGL today. he said max one time a week for OGL should they be an occurance with training. i hope i havent missed out too much. :) OGL will be superduper fun! ey just about 10 days till O lvls results. im not too nervous i think. i just hope i did well enough. of cos even if i got 18 points i can stay in MJ, but points is, i want MUCHMUCH better than 18 of course. below 10 will be fine please. :D
oh and finally, wishing all a HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! :) please send all your hongbaos and whatnot to me. hoho!

i made MJ 2nd Squad. but anyway training, was hell. loads of drills, stroke work. i was never so tired in my life! and tmw for PE its 3km run. thurs theres 3.8km run for PE then for badminton an hour of long distance running with the
track team. do i look that athletic to you? well im not, ive been really slack in secondary school. then after that whole buncha running, its drills and strokes again. training is really tough. really really tough. it will be of no surprise if i become
really fit after the whole MJ regime.
today was eventful in the sense that i lost my cool. first time in a longggg while. i completely couldnt tahan after a whole morning of nonsense. ey my face is scary okay, especially in a bad mood it turns absolutely dark and forbidding. some jokes and teasing it normal. but not
too much please? yeah. i sort of walked off during lunch anyway. :( whatever it was, everythings fine now. im hardly able to stay pissed for long anw. most last like half hour max.
i think i shall be a good girl and not skip CNY at MJs. im not that keen on going back to TKGS tho. i dunno why. i hear it has changed a lot, and im not looking forward to wear the uniform either. i feel.. uncomfortable in it. i think thats the word.
im
still enjoying school. i hope i last thru the whole PE and Badminton trg..

i got the John Sloman Econs textbook that all the Econs teachers are raving about. wasnt too sure about buying it, but mom insisted. i shall have to read it now. since its a ridiculously expensive textbook i have to read it then. but the covers really pretty tho :)
i sorta want to cut down on going to church. no its not a backsliding thing. but i kinda overdosed on the youths. its nonstop heeheehaha without a single sense of sensibilty and reason sometimes. it jarrs your nerves after a while. as much as i like my youth kids, its quite a different wavelength. even a year younger makes a big difference. i cant talk and hang out with them like i do with my other friends. yup. im a bit tired of it all. something new please? the jokes are really getting veryveryvery old. -sighs. where are the (even a little) sensible people? there dont seem to be much. im being veryvery straight forward here. as i usually am. in short, its the maturity part. and coming from a person like me.. well its true. not say im super matured of that rubbish lah.
i looking forward to going back to school on monday. its tiring yes, but fun :)
Friday, January 20, 2006
im sorta frustrated. ive been reading Econs and trying to figure out the best answers for the assignment. i still CANNOT get it. the lectures make econs sound soo logical and simple to understand. then they happily throw us some assignment that throws me off the loop. i dont want just a best shot at a question. i want the best answer! i was super fed up okay. i read the Malcom Frost book. it helped a little.. but its not enough! the teachers arent telling enough about how answers are phrased and such. they will be a particular order.. else it will be just ordinary comprehension. i know its sounds crazy to be this serious over a simple piece of homework.. but i realise that TWO years can fly in no time. and i dont wanna waste my time as i did in TK again. i dunno lah, i feel like a reallyy creaky old engine. my brain does not seem to work! its like after ages of NOT studying, studying feels out of place.
i think im just a little tense about the fact that i live quite far away from school, and the travelling time will seriously eat into my work.
i watch Memoirs of a geisha today :) with most of my CG. it was hilarious okay. dont ask me why, but i kept laughing thru out the whole thing. it was like a picnic fest. the guys bought food and drinks and even got ice and cups at macs and passed around! it was chips chocs sweets and more chips. yumm :)
oh and today was weird. one issue. but no comments on it.
Thursday, January 19, 2006
today i shut off during Maths. GP i was a little off my rocker lah. i was saying things that didnt make sense at all. MJ PE regime is scary. its the 2nd PE class and they drop the bomb. today they nicely told us that we had to run 2.3km as
practice >< gawd. i havent had PE since June, and have not exercise on my own either since then. and even so, tkgs PE sucks. really. we hardly ever run. like for NAPFA we only run for three PE lessons before NAPFA and thats it. for normal PE days, we run ONE round. so little right? and its not one round around the school. its one round around the BASKETBALL COURT. -.- rofl! thus i have concluded that if MJ PE is all about running, ill be easily doing up to 5 km a week! my gosh, i will be superduper fit then o.o
badminton rcre is fun i guess. made a couple new friends. and in the midst of that, someone kindly SMASHED the sliding doors on my fingers. i yelped with a loud vulgarity which i sahll not name. its turning all blue and black and one side bleeds too. hrm. in short im not happy about this. cos while playing badminton i actually dropped the racket cos it really stung. other than that today was a great day. haha nd i love that stupid mehmehmeh counting crap. its soo hilarious when you get it and others dont. frustrating for them tho! LOL
<3 MJ culture. so far ;)
today i made a notsonice comment in class. i guess i feel apologetic about it, cos not everything you think should be said.. im as straightforward as they go, but too straightforward can be irritating. truth is the person i was refering to, is constantly exhausted and hardly comes to school. she walks and talks exhausted 24/7 which really got on my nerves. im not gonna apologise for being irritated tho, i cant help that, so there. but COME ON, talking about exhausion 24/7 gets tiring. what can i say?
ohh, im exhausted too and go on HARPING about exhaustion? :S she feels left out that i can see but what i personally feel is that she leaves her ownself out. be proactive and do something about it instead of just yakking about it. its sort of a dont-make-your-own-grave analogy.
oh yeah, history class just 20 over of us and there's this small group of smart alecks already. theres one particular ostentious and inconsiderate soul which i wish i could damn to hell but i know that i should not. in short, im not in a very cheerful mood.
im in Badminton RECRE also. i think its sort of slack which is good. got time for other things as well i guess. :)
i went to Gelare yesterday looking like a fish. i dont mean literally lah. anyhow i regret blanking out entirely on Econs lecture yesterday. my brain was more or less completely dead by the mid afternoon and i spent the whole hour doodling, drawing stick figures and crushing paper repeatedly in that order. >< good thing i read up before hand, so im not completely lost now. i think the chinese teacher is cool though. seriously :) this is stupid, but for everytime she tapped her card and couldnt open the Comp Lab door, she uttered a 'shit' in english in her China-accented voice. hoho. Chinese teacher with an attitude. rofl!
im very very very broke. i hope i have enough money for memoirs of a geisha :)

i took soo long to type out my class's contact list. i hate typing so many meaningless numbers. got it done anyway, hopefully no mistakes. :) todays Lit lesson was amusing. lit really twists your mind. most lit students are all warped. how did a fairy tale
Little Red Riding Hood become a sexual connotated story? :/ it was funny tho. history was better today. gawd it was so boring yesterday, the lesson on essay writing ><
im enjoying school big time.
something about JC life really appeals to me. i think its the larger freedom you get. in sec school you are mollycoddled and fed hand and spoon.
im chased off ><
Monday, January 16, 2006
here am i sitting in the library. Mj's really a mugging haven. you can mug soo productively here. im serious, most people will be sitting on benches around the school, or in the library, mugging or reading a book. eitherways its super conducive and it makes
me wanna study too. well more or less everything, except for Trigo. i dont like trigo lah. i even read that super boring History introduction which to me, is a pile of rubbish.
people who dont know me in secondary school might have that impression that im a mugger. o.o wow i'd be so honoured man. and no, im not being sarcastic. being hardworking is a good habit you need to adapt in order to survive in this society. you might have brains, but if you dont use it, hey, too bad. its time i geared myself up to work, and work hard. :) i want decent grades please. as crazy as it sounds, i want at least Bs and Cs in MJ; where most people are clocking Ds and Es. im not super ambitious to want to be the best in the school, i just want to be a cut above the average cos being average brings you nowhere.
anyway the Mj girls are fine and all. just that sometimes the guys
(some and sometimes) behave a little strangely. not in a bad way or anything. just found it queer and was a little curious thats all.
btw im sort of craving for MORE work. yes that means im completed more or less what i need to do. except for Trigo of course. and that Econs WS, which im not so sure how to put down, but ive already read thru.
Sunday, January 15, 2006
vocal and keyboard class was fun. keyboard was.. a little simple but vocal was harder :) challenges are good. i didnt go to Youth Service though. was tired, went home instead. actually thats not true, cos i stopped by parkway to get a drink first and wandered about looking at Chinese New Year clothes. this year's season reeks of one word. BLAHH.
im looking forward to Tutorials. i even done the Partial Fractions tutorial already. so kanchiong right? haha, well i had nothing to do while waiting for Miss Nicole the Queen to arrive at Citilink. as usual, she was fashionably late :P so while i munched on peanut butter toast, i completed the tutorial in 20 minutes :) sometimes i love Maths. you get such a kick from it. however i do not get kicks from trigo. i do not like trigo for nuts.. the history read up the teachers gave was very dull. it was 17 pages full of crap and statistics. i couldnt really bring my self to really go understand the whole thing, tho i did read thru it a few times.. :/ i cant wait for Lit. i wanna start on pride and prejudice. thats the main reason why im doing Lit. prose is much better than poetry.
maybe ill stay in MJ afterall and hope that in the meantime, someone brilliant will come up with teleporters and save me on the travel time. ><
new tagboard up :) myshoutbox is increasingly unreliable
btw whos up for Memoirs of a Geisha?
Friday, January 13, 2006
the dentist hates me. really. she gave me this sort of glare when i came in and she yanked my teeth really hard and tight. no solid food for the next few days i think.. >< its that sore.
im in 06A303 :) cheers but the CT is a quite firm. JC is exhausting. why do i say that in EVERY post? :/
i have to widen my vocabulary, its as wide as a pencil line.
oh, and my topics as well.
Thursday, January 12, 2006
i happen to like my OG and like my classes. im still not used to the lecture type of lessons; it so happens that when i sit still for too long, i begin to yawn, then my brain slowly shuts down. by maths period today, i was officially dead. my work was fast, just that i was sorta doing it blindly. i better go read it up later again >< and ive got a new daughter, xi wen :) its fun. and of course the word is affinity there..
we didnt have lit last period so a couple of us sat around playing cards and talking. one thing i like about JC is that people arent so petty. you hang out with everyone, not just to a certain clique. this i like veryvery much. tho TK people are nice, they are generally cliquish. i think its the MJ culture, everyone trys to hard to be nice to each other :) even to people who irritate or annoy you.
we (zukai, xiwen, eugene and i) went to Magic Wok again. we ordered the same food again. the guy serving us was LAUGHING at us again. yes, thats how gay someone is. rofl! the person speaking about also coincidentally did something really funny and accidental at the escalator which i shall not mention nor embarrass that person :P it was a hoot, two hoots. yesterday a sec 3 kid was scared off with the crazy antics, today was a fellow MJ student. poor girl.. LOL.
a lot of people tell me i look better in Dunman uniform! they say vivien looks more TK than i do >< yes we swopped our uniforms, sort of. ill be trying on RG uniform after my cousin lends me! i wanna try on a lot others as well, so fun! im still trying to get the hang off tucking shirt in cos mine keeps dropping out.
JC is a whole different league; i like it so much, but its really tiring. i get back home at 7 everyday. imagine that. EVERYDAY. if only MJ was nearer..
:)

i actually like my classes soo much!
the pace of maths lesson is right. its fast enough and i get a kick out of it for once. i never listened to maths classes usually, but i did this time :)
economics was interesting. the teacher spoke with a british accent and was so tall she walked with a sloping, hunching swaying walk which was kinda odd. but basically the key points of todays lesson was that economics is the study of choices made by individuals or groups in response to the problem of scarcity, as well as methods used to analyse this problem. :P not too bad eh? :)
im looking forward to LIT.
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE :P

MJ Orientation today was at Sentosa. most of it was like a miniAmazing Race but rain on and off disrupted it a little. my muscles are seriously aching man! but nonetheless IT WAS FUN :) i have to say this. the OGLs and the Council worked damn hard i bet! well many thanks to them :P
although it has been fun, on the other hand i question the type of relations. nono not that i hate my OG or anything thats bullshit but it kinda seems that i dont really know them. mm its only the 3rd day, and hopefully it wil get better. nah im sure it will. ROFL.
and of course i wonder why all my good friends are ALL split up ><
dont help that tho i will answer u when u ask me anything, im reasonably reserved til i know you well. MJ orientation has been great and prolly im gonna stay :)
this entry is bloody disjointed prolly cos my brain is in pieces after the whole day of running. OH YEAH the most memorable thing today. Mel and her Bruce Lee eyes. gawd, she completely freaked out.
more on later

Orientation at JC has been officially proclaimed as HELLUVA FUN :)
dances games house cheers. like whooaah please
and com'on if i said its fun, its fun. im not a person whos easy to please sometimes. haha unless ur an old antisocial scrooge, ud agree too .
i got the Subj Combi i wanted so im happy with that. i might stay at MJ after all!
surprising, cos i wasnt too happy with the Open House.. the phrase i used was 'detached' to be exact.
my OG is pretty okay. more girls than guys of course, Arts stream hello? i dont like dancing too much but the Casting Crows song Accidentally in Love was super funny! something like the sorta jumpy dance we do in Youth and all :)
tmrs at Sentosa cant wait :)
Monday, January 02, 2006
tmws schools starting! im quite excited actually, beneath that cool appraising expression. its a nasty habit of mine to look 'dao'. not purposely lah! its just a thing when i dont smile. after all i cant smile every minute can i? i'd be frigging painted on clown then. and btw, i dislike clowns. it gives the impression of superficial laughter. pre U is more flexible in the sense that u can use your phones whenever u want, wear whatever accessories you like, with the exception of dyed hair. its better than sec school for sure.. i cant wait to start classes. some people'd think im crazy but ive been craving for something NEW to do. going to classes isnt too bad. the first few weeks will be more relaxed. this week especially, is devoted to Orientation. i still remember i went to MJ on wednesday and the girl who was in charge of my particular group for sitting places was my senior from TKGS. in fact, she was the vice head prefect. gues what she said. HEY I REMEMBER YOU. YOURE ALWAYS LATE THAT ONE. rofl! for one particular term in school i was always late cos i woke up at 7 am and appeared at school a few minutes past bell. also that was cos my dad didnt send me to school.
my tagboards really messed up. sometimes it works sometimes not. lately the same for tibia. i dont level much. i sorta sit around and chat with friends :) 8 days till chris has get back online :D
oh yeah i just remembered that for maths, u gotta use graphic calculator which costs a gulping.. 180 bucks. shocker right? my current calculators the normal 20 plus bucks one.
well, on to new pastures.
they seem so green now :)
i wonder about next time..
