IMUNC'10 IS OVER!

Joint Crisis Council (JCC) Sri Lankan Cabinet,
GOOD JOB GAIS.

Thank you

Tanoy, Yingying, Stefanie, Alex, Darryl, Yun Ze, Angela, Ying Xin, Zi Yi, Ian, Ayushi and Samuel!

Yay. I managed to survive without really speaking much, thank goodness. Although not speaking a lot isn't a very good thing... But still. I had a lot a lot of fun even though my brain went mush DURING every session we had. Argh I really want to go for another MUN and hopefully TALK the next time round but there ain't going to be another chance anymore D:

Let's not forget

our irritation and amusement at dear Colonel Nagesh and the post-it directive sent out to assassinate him and his hot russian love and gaying with MINDEF (absolutely hilarious) and CEO, who won the Superlatives 'Idiot' and 'Most Chemistry' with our defector.

CEO's obsession with his Ceylon Royal Tea industry to the extent that the Crisis Room hates him. And his jailing after being caught for corruption.

Minister of Human Right's violations to human rights and many many war ideas and weapons. (And thinking that I was trying to call for help during the training session when I was actually facebook-ing)

LTTE's 106 attempts to assassinate MFA which only succeeded twice.

LTTE's Chief Negotiator's only attempt at negotiations with us which lands him in our Wall of Humiliation.

the sudden teleportation of 200,000 Somalian troops into Kandy, which disappeared as quickly as they appeared.

Stefanie's nicknames for all of us

'skinny legs' ahem. -cough cough-

the desperation of LTTE which resulted in them hiring Dumbledore, Harry Potter, Super Man, Justice League etc. etc., which resulted in us hiring Darth Vader, Jimmy Neutron, Hitler etc. etc., which never came into effect because the session ended and left the crisis hanging.

Harold and Tanoy's exchange during the last session.

H: "Sorry Tanoy, let's make love again. :)"

T: "Anytime baby!"

H: "Oh yeah"

Yingying's innocence and our attempts and covering her ears and trying to protect her innocence and her insistence of finding out and her GOOGLE attempt.

Harold's explanation of 'cumming' with the drink vending machine.

Tanoy's indifference in us killing his son and the scandals churned by the LTTE

Samuel's running to and fro and to and fro bring notes here and there for us. And helping us buy cookies and counting the M&Ns on the cookies.

the FORMER governor of the central bank of Sri Lanka for constantly trying to tap into the bank's resources every single time at the start and his assassination.

Yingying's 'defection' to spy for us.

watching Annoying Orange with Harold, earning him the title of 'Grandpa Lemon'

And many many more things that brought laughter to everyone! This is the first MUN I've ever been to and is definitely the funnest right now. :D

We must keep in touch ok! :D Get someone to plan an outing~

Today, we dissected a bull frog (tian2 ji1) during the Biodiversity Sabbatical. It's actually pretty cool, once you get pass the gross-ness of it.

Then there is Creative Writing Sabbatical! We wrote gothic stories and I created a website with Yan Ni to showcase our work (not part of the sabbatical)! :D

http://monsters-underthecupboard.webs.com

I think these are two of the few sabbaticals I actually look forward to going ever since Sec1! :D

OH NO. I FORGOT TO WATCH WO3 ZAI4 NI2 ZUO3 YOU4! D:

This post is dedicated to my favourite School Skirt.
Yes, my school skirt.
Today, I found out that the school skirt I had ever since Secondary 1 is gone.

The school skirt which caused me to trip 2 times in Secondary 1 before I got the length altered.
The school skirt which got stained with fabric paint after squadmates and I created our 'squad tee'.
The school skirt that was way thinner than the current school skirts and it was altered so that I don't have to fold my skirt at all and it was cooling to wear 'cause the material really was thinner.
The school skirt that made me lose my temper and cry for 20 minutes locked up in my room polishing badges.

I didn't even realise that I haven't been wearing it for awhile.
I wanted to wear it on CSM (which is now HCNYATFM) but I guess I can't now 'cause it's nowhere to be found and it probably has already been cut up / thrown away by my grandmother.

I love you, Skirt. I'm so sorry you ended up as a rag. I didn't mean it, in fact, my grandmother didn't even ask for my permission or inform me about it. I told her quite some time ago that I LOVE THAT SKIRT and told her NOT TO DO ANYTHING TO IT. But she didn't understand. Or maybe she just didn't like me that much to pay much attention to what I said. Maybe.

NPAP'10 IS OVER!
I totally don't regret joining for the 3rd year, especially when I get to wear No.1 Uniform~ :D Even though the trainings were sort of killer and irritating (sometimes only!) and super time consuming, I seriously wish it wouldn't just end like that on Saturday.. The rehearsal in the afternoon super no cadet welfare! Omg, out in the hot sun for so long, and it's so scary to see so many people fall out. (Though I probably should be immune to it already) Lol. I'm glad cadets did not fall out during the rehearsal! The sun was scorching hot and when we picked up the rifles, it burns our arms ): During the parade, we sort of screwed up the starting bit, and my whole right arm totally numbed during the parade, but still, the man3 zu2 gan3 I got during the parade was super rewarding!
GOOD JOB EVERYONE :D

IH BLOCKS IS OVER!
Omg I was totally blur and had no time this weekend, so I totally didn't study health, and Dorcas told me health is super important this morning, so I chionged AIDs in the morning at the canteen with 409 people using Valerie's notes. THANKYOU VALERIE, I OWE YOU ONE.
临时抱佛脚 was a SUCCESS :D But I guess I'm only this lucky once.

2010-04-15T21:26:00.000+08:00

We made slime during chem lab! And this one is is Ping Zheng's! (: So many colours~ My slime is rotting in the shelf at home. LOL.

NPAP is on Saturday. OMG OMG. Finally I'll be free from Wed trainings and can go home early on Weds. Gah I hope I'll remember to bring everything and not leave anything behind. Or else will be so malu ): Oh. I got to make present also. Gah.

History blocks today! IT. WAS. KILLER. I saw sourceA and I almost cried. - - I think I'm going to get 9/25 again! Ohnoxcz. And there's IH on Monday. MONDAY. No time to study. /: DED.

2010-04-08T19:41:00.002+08:00

I FINALLY HAVE TIME TO BLOG! :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHERYLSEAH! :D:D

Life is currently in a mad rush and I've still got a lot of things to do! But I don't care, its been a long time since I updated this blog and I feel obliged to do it. Not that anyone ever reads it anyway. April is here already! And blocktests are starting next week (OMG) and I haven't started studying yet! I'll probably make use of Saturday to start on my mindmaps and whatnots.

Ah, Marie has influenced me into reading fanfictions! And I'm hooked oh no. Harry Potter fanfictions are nice! Yay. Lily's Charm is quite nice, and the sequel too! I'm waiting for the 3rd part of Lily's Charm to complete ._. And I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Harry Potter and the Afterlife Inc. ohoh and Acquittal is very nice too! Now I'm reading a Hermione/Draco fanfic~ Oh no I better stop by this week. Bah.

I managed to get myself off reading today at 4.45pm! After telling myself that I'll stop at 4pm. Then 4.15pm. Then the next chapter. And I end up getting a bowl of chips and reading it while waiting for the lappy to load and even after it loaded, I read util 4.45pm and forced myself to stop reading and write my personal statement. It's badly done, but I don't care already. And I screwed up my history mock test today! Die die. Better study hard for history, or else my A1, (or don't need to think about A1) A2 will fly away. It's starting to grow wings already.

Oh yes! During P.E. today, we played soccer! And I fell. Now my wrist hurts. Hooray.

2010-03-17T23:34:00.000+08:00

RELIVED MY CHILDHOOD TODAY!
For CIP, Nicole and I joined Life Student Care (a childcare we're attached to for NYAA CIP) for their March Holiday Outing! We went there early in the morning (I woke at 7.15am!) and were split to help look after groups A and B. Then we went to Kidz Amaze at Safra, Jurong! That place is AWESOME. I seriously want to go back there again. The slides are super cool, they're twirly and there's 1 that's 2 storeys high (I think) and another one is 3 storeys high (18.5m omg!) and I went to both slides at least 2 times each! We played with the little kids from LSC and had a super fun time, though it was super hard to climb to get to each level (I think there were 5 levels?) Elyn keeps dragging me to sit the slides with her and I had to climb up after sliding down each time and it's damn tiring but fun and giddy ahaha.

Oh yes, I put my phone in my pocket and it dropped and LUCKILY this guy from the place picked it up and handed it to the counter. -sigh of relief- This is the 2nd time I lost my phone in a month. How can I be so freakishly careless.

Mm. Then we went back to the student care and had lunch! And the kids had their naps while Mr and Mrs Lim brought us to the office to teach us how to set up the Science Experiments we were supposed to conduct to teach the kids. Mine was some electricity thing with water! And it was quite cool mixing the expired water and vinegar and salt haha. Then we had our 'recess' and we went to the nearby coffee shop to have a drink. And we went back and played table soccer in the office :D Nicole won 2:1 ): And we had McNuggets for teabreak! Oh yes, we forgot to rematch!

The experiments went quite well! :D My table was very clean, even though I spilled some of the salt solution.. And Eugene and gang (WONDERBOYS) had to perform for the whole group :D Though they were super shy and stuff, it was quite enjoyable mc-ing and teasing them haha. Next time, I'll make sure they dance :D And after that we had to go, and the girls wanted me to tell them a ghost story! So I told them the 'Sally... I'm gonna kill you!' Story and a number of them jumps (YES SUCCESS!) but then 2 girls CRIED. Zomygosh. I never expect myself to make people cry over a story ): Looks like next time I tell a ghost story, these 2 girls better not be around.

Went home and got locked out 'cause ahmah was bathing and Marcus was too busy playing Audi to bother to open the door for me and I forgot to bring my keys ): Ah and went to wash my face when he finally opened the door and went out for dinner. Had dinner at Seoul Garden and Northpoint. Disappointment. The food wasn't as good as expected, or maybe I just had too high expectations. I'm going to buy a Blue-Nose soft toy from Kalms! My ahmah says it'll be my birthday present! :D I wonder which to choose~

2010-03-16T21:11:00.001+08:00

Celebrated my birthday on Saturday with my relatives! My relatives from Malaysia came over on Saturday morning just to celebrate my birthday with me! -touched- Went over to my aunt's house in the afternoon to learn how to make 算盘子 (haha it goes into my NYAA skills~)! Its quite hard to make leh D: But it's worth it :D

We had a BBQ at the pit above the function room! I wore a new shirt :D Heheh. I promised my bro to wear my Graces dress on my birthday, so I had to go up to change before cutting the cake. Well, it saved me from being dropped into the swimming pool :D LUCKY.

We had High Ropes Challenge yesterday! The flying fox rocks socks. Ahahaha. I regretted not taking the harder route for the Advanced Ropes Challenge though D: It seems quite fun! And I've got a terrible sun burn now..

Facebook still don't allow me to upload my Graces photos. I've tried 4 times today and 4 times it says upload failed. Bah. On the bright side, I finally managed to download the 'Now Airing' episodes on Surviving High School after trying for 3 days.

2010-03-12T18:45:00.051+08:00

GRACES CAMP'10 is over! :D It was fun and tiring at the same time ._.

Wednesday!
We made our way to Downtown East and had breakfast and then we went for a lecture about dining etiquette, walking in heels, and style thingy. Then we had lunch and went for a makeup lecture. I feel asleep /: Lunch makes people sleepy~ Yep, then we went to our room and had to get ready for Malay Extravaganza Night. I wore this Peranakan costume :D MEN was very fun! I made new friends and ate with my hands (malay style). Our table won the table quiz thingy (thanks to Sabrina and Khairiya)! Then we had a dance session~ Our squad danced in a line at the back and Sheryl keeps wanting to join our line ._. tsk. After that, we returned to our rooms and washed up. And we had a nail polish 'party' :D Marie and I painted our nails RED. And Val painted hers PURPLE. And Xueyan wanted to try painting for the first time but we all refused (:

Thursday!
I was the first to wake up :D But I didn't exactly wake up ._. I sorta just smacked Xueyan a few times until her phone alarm rang and she woke up and I went back to sleep. Breakfast was good :D I like the ikan bilis~ Then we had Indoor Games! Our class was super enthu and we won the Most Enthusiastic Class award :D "Somebody call 4-1-1, shawty fire winning on the dance floor, woo-oh-oh-oh" (Hopefully the words are right.) Then we had lunch and a lecture on 'Effective Communication'. Couldn't keep my eyes open 'cause it was quite dry and boring /: Then we had the Class Parade Rehearsal and we went back to our rooms to prepare for Formal Night. Thanks Marie for putting on the eye shadow for me :D And thanks Rachel for helping me to draw the eyeliner :D FN's food was good and we took loads of photos! Sadly we didn't have a chance to take squad photo ): But we took class photos and 204 class photo O: Walking in heels suck to the core. After FN, the ball of my feet hurts like crap and the journey back to the room was horrendous. TORTURE D:

Friday!
Sorry Val for not opening the door for you in the morning /: I thought it was a teacher and I didn't want to see a teacher so early in the morning so I ignored the knocking and went back to sleep /: Mad Hatter's Performance was quite well done! I'm pretty glad we got the first performance slot, 'cause everyone was dying of boredom (from what I see anyway) nearing the middle of the whole event. Then I lost my phone but managed to find it back. Thanks 411 for helping me find my phone :D Then we went home! And I had lunch at Pastamania with Chyi Huey. (Did I get the name right O-O) We each ate a main dish each and 4 slices of pizza. Whoo.

:D And that concludes Graces'10. A wonderful experience.

The rest of the photos will be on facebook when facebook finally allows me to upload my photos :B

2010-03-06T14:35:00.000+08:00

WE DISSECTED EYEBALLS YESTERDAY! O: O:
It was so cool~ We cut up pigs' eyeballs. Thanks 409 for the extra eyeballs -winks- (: Oh! Thanks to Xue Yan for those really sharp scissors too!

Then there's NPAP. Gosh, training yesterday was TIRING. This morning, I woke up with muscle aches on my shoulders and arms. We sort of held the rifle at the 2nd move of hormat for quite a long time and after holding it there and stoning, we had to smack the rifle and hold in the hormat position for another long long time. Felt like tortureeeee. I wonder when we're getting our Number 1 uniform.. If they get it next week then we wouldn't have it D: and no time to season beret and alter skirt by Full-Dress! Ohnohxcz!

GRACES CAMP IS IN FOUR DAYS. FOUR DAYS.
FOUR DAYS TO WEARING THE ETHNIC COSTUME.
FIVE DAYS TO WEARING THE FORMAL DRESS AND HEELS.
SIX DAYS TO MAD HATTER'S EVENT.
Ohmygod. Time passes so fast. Graces' Camp is like, next week and it only seems like yesterday when we were staring at our seniors' camp photos in Sec1 and thinking 'hah, its a long long time away for us!' And now it's our turn. And soon O's would be around the corner. This year seems to go by so quickly. Time really flies when you're in Sec4.

YAY. I can't wait for next Saturday! My relatives are coming over and we're going to have a bbq :B And! It's the start of the holidays! Yay! Aish, back to doing the Cuba Missile Crisis SBQ.

2010-02-24T02:14:00.004+08:00

I shan't say that I regret slacking off the whole of yesterday. I don't really regret actually, even though I'm dying right now. I'm chionging Math SIA Reflections and I'm still not done yet 'cause I'm stuck at Prep Test Q8 and I haven't typed the topics yet. I don't even know how to write the topics part. I'm screwed, I know.

Squadmates, I'm sorry if I hurt / offend anyone when I said those stuff in NP room before Act started. I really felt that they didn't do anything to "help" us and if they don't, we also can't do anything about it because we can't really make a big difference.

MATH SIA IS KILLING ME. AND THERE'S NPAP TMR. GAH.

-STARES AT THE CLOCK IN HORROR-

I'm tired. But I'm not sleepy. Something's wrong with me.

I give up. I'm continuing the thing tomorrow. Screw Math SIA. (Ms Kang, Sorry if you ever have to see this)

2010-02-22T22:21:00.002+08:00

Today is freakishly slack. I didn't do anything after I came home and it feels weird not doing anything! Oh yes I watched Supernatural Season4 on AXN. I want to go get the previous seasons! Ah and then there's this movie also on AXN, The Covenant. Gah, I fell in love with Caleb (Steven Strait, but he doesn't look as good now) He's epic cool~ I shall watch AXN more often!

Ahh, LA Oral Presentation during Lecture wasn't as bad as expected. Though people heard me say "shit-building" instead of the intended "ship-building" and I read "unscathed" wrongly. Not bad leh, we got talent and we got the highest score :D

Then there's this really confusing question that we're supposed to write about for SRQ.
Is killing in war justified?
Contradicting thoughts. Confusion.

2010-02-18T22:09:00.002+08:00

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
(although it's a little bit late)

It's been a rather busy week! And it's time for me to get my beauty sleep :D I love CNY, 'cause I get to play mahjong! And partially 'cause I get to meet all my cousins and stuff. Will upload the other photos on facebook another day~

2010-02-11T23:31:00.002+08:00

Ahh, Shandong Exchange has finally come to an end. My China buddy is going home today! I'm going to miss all of them though. Oh well hope we keep in contact :D

Lessons went on as usual today, but during recess, we had a Farewell Party at Conference Room C for the Wei Hai students. Took quite a lot of photos and manage to do 站脚 or whatever it's called with Clarissa. Then we went back to class and took more photos, but my buddy left with his friends so... Yah. After that they left and we had lessons and assembly. And school ended.

Haha I rushed to Island Creamery after assembly to buy ice cream for Ji Han (my buddy) and Guan Li (Mary's buddy) 'cause I promised to treat them, but the teacher don't let them leave the school. Bought Teh Tarik and Pineapple Tart, cost me $18 dollars in total~ And then I got lost on the way back 'cause I couldn't recognise the route (it was my first time there ok) yeap but I got back in the end and we finished 2 500ml tubs of ice cream. -clap clap- I hope they liked it. It's my present to them :D

Oh yes, Jiang Nan (Ji Han's classmate) gave me a pencil box and loads of pens, and today Ji Han passed me 8 notebooks which Jiang Nan asked him to bring for me. I brought my Le Coq Sportif sling bag and I had to lug it all the way home. Lol. My shoulders almost broke. But I LOVE the presents~ :D

LALALA! I baked cookies today! For Kheng Wee (belated birthday present) and Yi Jia (birthday girl!) oh and Dorcas (also birthday girl!).

CNY Celebrations tomorrow! I got no brush and ink ): 'Cause I threw them away when I shifted lol. Hope Marie brings one for me~

2010-02-08T17:49:00.002+08:00

Went out with my buddy on Saturday! :D
We picked him up at 8.30am and went to Farrer Road some hawker centre to eat roti prata~ Then we fetched mummy back to NY for her PSG meeting. And daddy drove us to the F1 track~ We saw the Chingay floats and took photos :D Then we still had time left, so we went to East Coast Park! Rode bikes for an hour. Omg my stamina deproved D: Or maybe it's cause my legs were tired after hentak-ing on Friday... Hm, after biking, we still had time left, so daddy drove to Changi and we saw Changi Prison from the car ._.

After that, we went back to NY to pick mummy up, and went to VivoCity for lunch! We ate Marche (: Mmm. And we walked a bit and went to Suntec for the arcade instead. Marcus owned at basketball ): Mhm after that we went home to pick ahmah, and my buddy took out a box of tea and a table cloth from his bag. Zomg. Lol. Yeap and we got called back to AMK temple - - I feel so evil bringing my buddy to the temple! 'Cause China has no religion (I think) and we're not allowed to bring them to religious places /: Oh then we went to Lao Pa Sat for dinner! It was quite disappointing /: The food wasn't as good~ And my buddy end up returning the latest, LOL.

I think I bored him to death on Saturday. Oh well, at least I tried my best /:

2010-02-05T23:37:00.003+08:00

Today was a happy day, generally.
My buddy's here for the 2nd day~ And Marie brought dumplings today! During recess, my buddy went to find his friends, so as his buddy I tagged along. We bought Malay food and went to put it on the table when Mary and Abigail decided to eat something else while the guys went to buy a plate of chicken rice to add on to the plate of nasi lemak (ohmygod). So I waited for them and talked to Guan Li (Mary's buddy). Then Xue Yan and Marie came! And we had recess with 4 guys, 'cause Hannah's buddy is here too. Mary and Abigail pangseh-ed me. Nice one lor.

Yeah and the day went on as usual~ Didn't get to present choral reading for LA ): Oh dang. Then there's NPAP! It rained today. And our bags all 遭殃~ Luckily we asked Mdm Yeo to save our bags first 'cause my bag has my iPhone in it. If it got wet, I'll seriously cry. But end up she saved another school's cadets' bags by accident and 43's bags weren't saved /: OHYES! My 天涯海角 joined NPAP again! I've made new friends so quickly this time round! Apparently I must look quite old, or at least older than the rest, 'cause before training started, this CI came up to me and asked me for my name and I thought I got into trouble or he knew me but couldn't remember my name. Then he asked me to check St Margs, ACSB and 43's uniforms. LOL.

Yeah and then during break, 'cause it was raining and there's nobody to save anybody's bags, 43, RGS, 3 Queensway girls and I went to save everybody's bag (but most importantly ours) and threw everyone's bags up. And we earned ourselves 15mins break extension! :D But everything was a mess afterwards when people claimed their bags after training LOL.

Then after training we were supposed to change into mufti so that we can leave from HTA. We were waiting outside the toilet for the St Margs girls when this Sir came along and commented on my socks. Then I realised that I forgot to fold down my socks on one side /: FAIL. Mm. I seem to keep getting teased ._. 猪也没那么大只

Going out with my buddy tomorrow! Tio pangseh by everyone, and in a way, I sort of pangseh-ed them too. Got to wake up early tomorrow~ Gah. Need to chiong IH then go to sleep. Will TRY to post about the trip tomorrow :D

2010-02-04T16:40:00.002+08:00

本大爷的中国学习伙伴今天开始和我们随班上课了。
And the situation's a bit awkward. 'Cause I find it damn hard to strike a convo with him~ And he sort of sticks around his friends so... Yah. Oh well. I'm damn tired, and there's a hell lot of things to complete today for tomorrow! Eep.

NPAP 1st Training yesterday! (And 2nd training is tmr~)
We're temporarily in Contingent 8, and Victor Sir is in charge of us again! Well, at least until UOPA results are released anyway. Wow surprisingly, both my Cont7'09 Sirs still remember me O: Its like, totally unexpected. When we got down the bus and fall in at the road to march in, Fu Lin Sir was like, "Alicia, YOU AGAIN!" LOL. Then during break he came over to chat and told me that Jia Wen was his cousin LOL. Joining NPAP again very 恶心 meh? Yeah and then after he had to go, he put his empty drink packet on the table and said thankyou and walked away. Nice one lor. Yeah then we had to take attendance, and Victor Sir recognised my name haha.

I guess there are perks of joining NPAP again, you're mentally prepared for the tough training and the stoning and sort of know what's happening. I guess I shouldn't always assume that things are going to be the same every year, 'cause things this year are definitely quite different. First off, instead of queuing up for drinks and fried food, they prepared packet drinks and 3 packets of bread each placed nicely on the table. Then, this year, we aren't allowed to leave from HTA in school uniform, and we aren't allowed to leave from there without an official letter from our OC. Then the Sir said that there's going to be a surprise for the supporting cont this year. So, I got cadets and myself into trouble with the Ma'am-in-Charge 'cause I assumed things are the same as always that we can leave from HTA after telling the Officer-in-Charge that day that we're leaving from HTA and that we can leave in school uniform. Guess I was wrong, I'm sorry for causing all the trouble and misunderstandings.

The next training will be better. I hope I get a suntan (: or a beret tan line~ But I guess that's highly impossible since GOH normally trains in the drill shed. Dang. But that means I'll still get more "exercise" than usual 'cause we'll be hentak-ing and stuff and it's quite a workout to hentak with the crazy timings of other schools (no offence) and trying to keep in place. (Don't mean to be quite ego, but I CAN HENTAK ON THE SPOT YAY)

2010-02-02T22:10:00.002+08:00

Not feeling very well today! Wanted to pon school, but I still made it 'cause today got the Shan Dong briefing and it's 44's First Act! I'm having a shoulder ache since Saturday (maybe?) and now I've got a blocked nose and a very bad sore throat. And I drank quite a lot of water today! It wasn't that bad today, but now I'm having a headache and when I stand up, my head spins. Oh dear.

My buddy's coming tomorrow night! Then on Thursday till next Thursday he'll be here. Maybe its revenge, haha. When I went, he was sick and didn't attend school for 2 days and I was stuck with Larissa and her buddy. So now when he come, my body decides to seek revenge and fall sick too. Lol.

I shall sleep early and see what happens tomorrow. NPAP training starts tomorrow~ NYNPCC getting UOPA Gold for the first time in years. GOH will be a nice end of 3 years of participating in NPAP. OHCRAP I FORGOT TO PREPARE UNIFORM! O:

- - - - - - - - - -

I'm super disappointed today. I sort of expected better, maybe I'm expecting too much.

2010-02-01T20:31:00.008+08:00

goodnight sweetheart, god bless you
Went to Kranji War Memorial after school today. Despite the sweltering hot weather, it was rather enjoyable. The place is so serene, though I felt goosebumps throughout the whole thing, especially during the ceremony. I wanted to hold the flag... But I never had the chance to. Oh well. I tried looking for a tomb of someone who died on 18 March, but I couldn't find any. I'll go back again one day, and walk past every tomb to find it. Then maybe on my birthday, I'll go there and put a flower on that tomb. Seems like a pretty cool thing to do.

- - - - - - - - - -

I FEEL DEPRESSED.

I'm super demoralised right now. Ohwell, I'm the one who screwed up my promotion test and therefore screwing up my chances of applying for SPF. So I'm to be blamed in the end anyway. Yay me.

And probably people will say "Oh no, there's no failure, only learning experiences!" Because according to Adam Khoo's Ultimate Success Formula, failures are learning experiences, and you have to change your strategy and try again and keep changing till you succeed. But I won't be able to get a chance to change my strategy, 'cause these opportunities don't come twice. Anyway my chances aren't high at all. OHWELL.

2010-01-31T22:19:00.002+08:00

I am so dead. And I have my IH part due on Wednesday, LA Presentation thing due Wednesday, go through and memorise CME Speech, Bio RAFT and a long long list ahead. But I guess everyone is as busy as me right? (:

Ahh SCP Class is quite fun. I'm going to create a facebook group for my SCP class :D Then let that Adeline slowly go stalk everyone then invite people. Why is facebook loading so slowly on my laptop. Irritating ): Yan Xun and I were "woosh-ers" today! And his woosh is epic.

"The louder we woosh, the more break-ups Alicia will have."

What is the meaning of this manzcx. I don't even have a boyf to break-up with in the first place, HENG ARH~ Heh, you guys are clever huh, never woosh that loudly, or else I'll break your neck uhh /: I'm a GUY! Yay. I'm GAY too. Doh, I shall go get my beauty sleep then tomorrow night chiong IH.

My buddy is coming in 3 days! Anyone have suggestions where to bring him to on Saturday? He says "你要仔细想想去哪玩噢" Die lah, I have no idea where to bring him.. Except for the F1 track in the morning. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME ): The school is already going to bring them to Esplanade, Sentosa, Night Safari, China Town, Kampong Glam and Little India.

Hello guys.
My blog's dead, again, just after I decided to start a new one. So sad right. But I seriously don't have the time recently to blog. I just finished completing the conclusion to IH SIA Report. I bet I contributed a lot of crap to Dorothy's part 'cause I'm damn tired and I can't focus anymore. I'm so sorry if I pull you guys down for IH Consultation 2, I have a re-test tomorrow and its really important to me. I'm doubting whether I'll pass or not because my drills are quite lousy and it's been quite some time since I did drills and I'll definitely suck at it. Shucks, my low self esteem is kicking in. I shall go to sleep, before my low self esteem plummets any lower.

Is this what I get for finally waking up and trying to be more efficient than last year? 'Cause right now I'm on the right track to my goals, and I should be happy, but why aren't I a least bit glad? To be truth, I have planned my ponning speech/sms EVERY SINGLE MORNING ever since this week started but I still force myself to go to school.

To be truthful, I've been quite sick of my old blog already, so I've moved to a new blog! :D And I've copied the last few posts from this year~ I spent 1h30mins editing this blog template. Can you believe it? I wasted 1h30mins of my life doing this when I'm supposed to be chionging IH SIA! Shucks.

I've got to complete 7pages of report about how Communism (Tito-ism) affects the inter-ethnic conflict in Yugoslavia which resulted in the Bosnia War by 9pm tonight, and I haven't started. Doh. Then, I have to re-edit my Chinese SIA report as the scope was totally wrong. And my grandmother (yes, she's in talking terms now) asks me to buy dinner for her 'cause she never cook. How am I going to finish my 7pages by tonight ):

I almost fell asleep doing IH during recess just now. Its THAT boring. Why can't Tito and Yugoslavia be more interesting ): I mean, it is interesting to some extent but right now, its boring me to death.

Oh, someone help me!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIAJIA!
BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY PUAYLING!

Hey, I realised, nobody actually comes to my blog except me :D -heaves a sigh of relief- If you want to prove me wrong, TAG on the tagboard to prove it. With the recent pile of homework (and it's still piling up), my dear dear blog is lying on its deathbed. Poor thing. Well, I don't really have the time to nurse my dear blog. Right now, I'm enjoying green bean soup while taking a break from re-doing my R&R.

Apparently, I found out that my R&Rs are mostly in the wrong format, except for the civic responsibility one. So, I spent my whole afternoon finding 5 articles and did 1 R&R and edited the civic responsibility one. Not bad for 4hours on the comp. I normally can't find 2 articles in 4hours. -applaud-

Well, I was so concentrated on it when I came home that I haven't taken a shower yet. (Yeah I know, I'm dirty.) And my grandmother keeps nagging and nagging at me to bathe. Obviously she knows that when I'm focused on something, it is highly unlikely that I'll divert my attention away, and when I do, I get seriously irritated. So there she is nagging and nagging and nagging, and I finally couldn't stand it, I 'shouted' at her to stop it 'cause I'm busy doing my work and my work has more priority since I can always shower later, the toilet won't run away. I didn't exactly shout, I just raised my voice a little and sounded super irritated ('cause I was) and now she won't talk to me. Yay.

I'm not the only one with the stupid attitude problem. She has it too and it's way worse than mine okay. Just now, I asked her if she fried bee hoon or mee sua 'cause it looks like bee hoon but taste like mee sua, and she just stands behind me glaring at me with a spoon and chopstick in her hand. So much for being friendly and starting up a conversation. Afraid that she will take the spoon and stuff it down my throat while stabbing me with the chopsticks, I quickly took my cup of green bean soup and hurried off to the safety of my laptop, where I'm sitting now, which isn't very safe 'cause its on the dining table which is just outside the kitchen. Oh well, at least I have a cup, a laptop, a mouse and more stationary and books to defend myself.

我的忍耐度有限，你给我小心一点。

The new school term has started! -Yay-
Well, we have new canteen vendors now, and I really miss the old vendors D: And we've got a new co-form, Mr Chia (well hopefully I don't land in F4L for another year...) We also got a new chinese teacher and she's super funny. Well, we were supposed to write a compo yesterday and somehow she knew we wouldn't bring compo paper and dictionaries so she brought a few stacks of compo paper and a dictionary to class. Wow.

Hmm, I attended Module 2 of IAG, Success Coaching Program on Sunday and we did some goal settings on sheets of vanguard. Then, yesterday, we also did goal setting in class during SIL! (Looks like goals really are important!) So, I shall publicly announce my goals (as I've learnt from IAG that announcing your goals means you wouldn't be able to take them back).

Goals this year:
1. All A1 for EOYs (Well, it doesn't hurt to aim far.)
2. Slim down! (Yeeeeah, I've been working on that for awhile LOL)
3. Get more sleep (I've not been getting alot of sleep since school started)
4. Don't sleep in class (I realised that if I don't sleep on the bus, the chances I'll sleep is reduced)
5. Learn Wedding Dress dance, even if it goes outdated.

Yeap, that's the main ones anyway. Gah, I'm obsessed with Wedding Dress. The MV is damn sad, the song is damn nice, and the dance is damn cool. And I'm watching and listening it over and over again (damn I had that lady in the MV) instead of revising for my Math Prep Test tmr ): Shit shit. I can't bring myself to stare at the math textbook D: Neither can I bring myself to do assessment books. Doh. I'm starting to like Taeyang~ Ahahahah. Wedding Dress' influence~
