HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!

Journey Has Ended

2010-08-06T20:37:00.004+08:00

It seems like it was just yesterday that i have stepped up to become an executive member of KC's 4th Student Council. Now, its the past. I have finally stepped down and rested my added responsibilities to my successor. The journey has certainly been a fruitful one even though there were many ups and downs along the way. I certainly cherish the memories i had during my term in office together with the other EXCOs. What does it mean to be a compassionate servant leader? Now, i finally know the answer after almost 3 years in the Student Council.

I can't deny that my journey hair-pulling experience, at times when last minute things have to be done and it has to be carried out perfectly. Change after change, new rules imposed, blood pressure rises. All in all, i will remember this experience for the rest of my life. I fully do not regret making the decision to come on board as an EXCO member of the 4th Student Council. Thanks for the memories, everyone. "Once a KC Councillor, Always a KC Councillor."

ALL THE BEST to the 5th Student Council!

Seven Seas

2010-06-27T18:56:00.004+08:00

Sail the seven seas. Well, technically, not sailing, but kayaking. Not the seven seas, but the kallang river. Yesterday's kayaking was so fun and I finally got what I wanted: Sunburn and a tan. Haha. Went with Julian and his friends.Kayaked till near the marina barrage area. At first, I didn't want to go into the water cause it was kind of dirty, but in the end after watching all of them jump in and feeling the cold water, It was so tempting and i jumped in in the end. It was damn nice since the weather was hot. The weather forecast was lying. Seriously... It was supposed to rain and thunders were supposed to be heard around late morning and early afternoon, and it didn't rain at all. Haha. Anyway, the climbing back into the kayak part was horrible. Don't ask me why cause I just found it horrible. Oh yah, we also waited for waves, but most of them were epic fail waves created buy ducktours boats -.- Hmm... Funny things happened to along the way. Hahaha. Things... One classic moment: Julian: ( just when he got back into the kayak) "oh crap, my wallet is in my pocket!!!" haha. Genius. Epic moment. Don't be angry ok Julian, I will always heart you:) You were lucky that all your notes were plastic except one.

Then we kayaked all the way back, but halfway they all decided to purposely capsize. I didn't want to cause of the water. Don't wanna get dirty water in my mouth. Haha, but I still jumped ino the water and Julian decided to overturn our kayak. So all the kayaks were all overturned. All of them rescued one another. Footwear, bottles and paddles were floating on the water. Haha. All of us managed to get back into our respective kayaks on the end. Haha. Super fun. Just hearing you guys talk about stuff or watching you guys do things just wanna make me laugh sometimes.haha. I wanna go again. I wanna kayak the rain:) sigh. One day...

Oh gosh, school is reopening tomorrow. Mann... All humanities subjects on Monday. Starting the day with Mass P.E. I bet its gonna be running 2.4km again. If it is, its really gonna be boring. I have to change my brain and mutate it to 'Even-more-hardcore-studying-and-practice-brain'. Anyways, I'm still enjoying the pain from my sunburn:) haha. My face feels so stiff now and i got weird finger tan plus a spectacle tan. It's been long since I've been sunburnt. My face and arms are all red and I'm Lovin' it :) Thumbs up :D

Although i didn't talk to you guys that much (Sorry about it) except for Julian, thanks Julian, Gabriel, Kevin, Bryan, Zi Jian and Jeremy for carrying the kayaks, for waiting for me while I took quite some time to shower, for making me laugh at times and most of all for making yesterday one of the best day of my June holiday. It was enjoyable :D and it made the week a whole lot better after what happened on Friday. ( Miss Nicole Varella, you promised :( Well, technically not you, but still...)

P.S. I super screwed Arabic test today. Im freaking gonna epic fail it. Probably get like only 2 or 3 over 15. And its 15% of the end-of-year final marks. Sofiah, you're a genius.

Painting Clouds

2010-06-21T19:27:00.005+08:00

So much for me painting clouds. This is just not the time. With everything just coming from all directions. This just brings me to a ligitimate conclusion that secondary fours have no life. I guess it's true. Anyways, last week has been enjoyable for me :D I felt that studying was somewhat enjoyable. I know it's like ridiculous, but that's what I think. My brothers made my studying time at home unberable. Seriously getting on my nerves. Well, at least I got you to lean on. Thanks for everything. I know today has been hard for you, but don't let anything get in your way and keep you from doing your best. I believe that you can do it. You've always believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself even when I believe I really couldn't do it. You'll say, "You can do it if you believe in yourself." Your optimistic mind always motivates me to strive to achieve better grades and do my best no matter what. Now it's your turn. All the best for the rest of your papers :D I believe in you.

You are too precious to lose; the one and only. I'll keep you forever.

It has always been you and I'm so glad.

Its Been Long

2010-06-06T21:25:00.003+08:00

Wow. It has certainly been a long time since i blogged on blogger. With all the Mid-Years and Malay O Levels going on, I didn't have time to update. So I guess I'm like reviving my blog now after it has been dead for quite a while. Secondary 4 life sucks big time. Sigh. I want to get it over and done with.

Well, a lot has been going on lately. Well, actually its a lot of work and study. Its very dry, i know. Luckily, Squirrel's always by my side. The past week of school was torturous with 1 1/2 Hours of English for 2 days. Thats the downside. The rest was fine.

The holidays have started. Technically, there's no holiday. Its study, study, study all the way. Sigh. Sometimes its just too overwhelming. I breakdown - emotional turmoil. I guess its a normal process. With my brothers constantly irritating me, my head gets ignited. It just seems like an imaginary volcano eruption with hot lava flowing down my skin; I need to find a new study place.

Shopping, bowling and spending time with friends will take my mind off things for a while. I need more money, but I'm trying not to use the money I have saved for Universal Studios. I'll try to find a way through this, hopefully. Im super stoked to go shopping with Nicole :D

GOOD LUCK FOR THE MID-YEAR'S

First of April

2010-04-01T19:27:00.004+08:00

Its the first of April which means April Fools day. Though of playing a prank on the Whole entire school today during morning assembly, but as nice people we,EXCOS, didn't. Felt wasted though cause its our last year in KC. On the bright side, I saw a couple of pranks pulled on teachers and i was kinda involved in one of them. haha. But I wasn't the mastermind, just part of it. The first prank that i saw was on my Malay teacher. We told her something and she didn't believe at first, but some people managed to manipulate her thoughts until she believed us, so in the end, she believed. HAHA.

The prank was on my Chemistry teacher. Some people stayed back during recess to rearrange the tables and chairs including the teacher's table. Such that, there are 4 long rows of tables from the front the front of the class all the way to the back, 2 rows on each side. The 2 rows on the left of the class were facing the right and 2 rows on the left were facing right. Plus, there was an aisle in the middle for the teacher to walk through all the way to the back of the class to the teacher's table which was in the middle. You guys should really see the arrangement. It was really fun.

Here comes the best part. She was late for lesson and when she entered the class and walked to the teachers table, the whole class cheered, clapped and made a lot of noise while she walked down the aisle like a VIP to the teacher's table. She puts down her stuffs and said she was speechless (Technically, she wasn't speechless cause she said quite a number of stuffs after that statement). Then she said she's gonna teach us Math today and pulled out graphs worksheets. Then, she told us that there will be a Chemistry test after Social Studies test today. Her attempted pranks on us failed cause we knew she was lying even though she did look convincing. We are the Queens of pranksters. HAHA. Since the was only half an hour of Chemistry, she said that she was lucky cause there was only 15mins left for the lesson and even complimented the mastermind for the creative idea. haha.

So actually, i didn't fell wasted after all. Last April Fool's in KC ended in a good note. YAY. Smiley Face.

But the worst part about today was the damn Social Studies test. I stared at the picture source for quite a while before i could think of want to write. The rest was just a nightmare and i don't want to talk about it. Plus, i think i wrote rubbish. I'm gonna fail. NOOOOOOOOOOOO....Sigh. What to do? Its already over. I just have to get over it and move on.

Long weekend ahead. I wish i could spend one of the days with you. Sigh.

With Eyes Wide Open

2010-03-27T11:44:00.001+08:00

The seasons have changed & the days are getting longer. we wake up to the sunlight & go to bed with the warmth of the season filtering in through open window screens. the seasons change, we change. we grow, we move on. we learn new things each day; ways to be better people, ways in which we are strong, ways that hurt. each day we are given a chance to start new, to dissolve past regrets, to become the person we truly want to be. we are incredible creatures & we exist for a reason. each & every one of us. it may take years, decades, to discover this reason but it’s there! it’s there. perhaps it’s like love, we only find it hidden when we stop searching. it comes to us. we are incredible creatures, never forget that.

Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.

Remembering the Past

2010-03-21T11:25:00.005+08:00

Its the last day of the March Holidays. Time Flies. And I don't feel like going back to school. Sigh. I really miss last Monday. All homework completed except a section of Art. Speaking of Art, I still don't know if i should apply for Lasalle. Sigh. Should I? But A lot of people are telling me to give it a go. The thing is that, i have to have a complete portfolio which i don't have at the moment. Thats the problem.

School - The 6-letter dreaded word. Never-ending homework. Never-ending tests. I have a Bio test on Wednesday on Hormones and Reproduction in Plants. The chapter on Hormones just makes my mind go Crazy. Seriously. Damn you hormones. So many things to remember. Sigh.

So yesterday, went to watch To Kill a Mockingbird play at the Drama Centre at the National Library. It was okay. The scenes are like all over the place. Slightly confusing though. Before the play, went with Nicole to Bugis to shop for stuffs. I spent like all the money i had in my wallet. I FINALLY HAVE A NEW PENCIL CASE AND THE BOW RUBBER BAND THAT I WANTED!!!. YAY!!!

I think, every Monday, I'll miss that particular Monday.

Paper Hearts

2010-03-15T21:59:00.000+08:00

Today was simply AWESOME!!! I wish I had a time machine to repeat this very day. Sigh. I love everything about today except the part where I did the wrong Biology paper and I had to do a third paper. Haiz. I LOVE TODAY :D

“With every moment we share, every smile, every touch, I become more certain that in you, I’ve found something I’ve looked for a very long time. I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know how much your love excites me and how happy I feel when I’m with you. And, from this day forward, that’s more than enough.”

Bottled Memories

2010-03-12T20:25:00.001+08:00

The week's been really tough. With the Semi's and Finals this week. And all the different ups and downs. Sigh. We got 4th placing, but we did tried out best and It was hard for some of the team members to take it in, like me. Sigh. It made me feel really down. All we can do right now is to learn from our mistakes and move on. I think it was my last match that i'll ever play cause i don't really plan to join floorball in JC or Poly. Sigh.

The Medal presentation was today after the final matches for both the boys and the girls. The boy's game was super intense and super fast. They don't even look tired even though they were running after every ball. The match was exciting and Congrats to the school who won both titles. Well Done to the rest of the schools. The joke of the day was when we got out medals and it stated SOFTBALL instead of FLOORBALL. HAHAHA.

The March break has finally arrived. Holiday = Homework. A lot of homework. Sigh. There's super a lot of things to do for Social Studies !?!?!? Why so many!?!?!? Sigh. Luckily, I already did some Biology work in advanced, but there are still other work to do. Because I'm sitting for 'O' Levels this year, homework cannot end. Its like never-ending, seriously. and OMG, there's LOADS to do for Art too. Sigh.

Lets go on an adventure to homework and study land. Parent-Teacher Meeting tomorrow. Oh no. Sigh. The news better be good news.

Jar Of Confidence

2010-03-05T20:24:00.005+08:00

What if you could buy self confidence in a jar? Take twice a day, with a full glass of tea; do not take on an empty stomach. Confidence is such an alluring quality in creatures & really, everyone should feel confident. We have to feel confident that we can BEAT the school for the next match. We must WIN!!! WIN WIN WIN ALL THE WAY. Hopefully. NO ONE can mess with Team KC right now. We are aiming for the Gold. We can do it. Be confident that we can :D

"The early bird catches the worm; a stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can’t pretend we haven’t been told. We’ve all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to ‘seize the day’. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying."

2010-02-27T20:32:00.004+08:00

This is my 6th post for the month. Finally, the CAs are over. But sadly, the O levels hurdle is still there. Its coming. For a moment, I had, on my mind, a lot of things to type here, but now, suddenly its all gone. So i guess this is gonna be a short post.

Nothing much has been going on except for competition and more work to do for council. Its just normal school days. No special events happened. So boring, except for Friday's Pastoral Care lesson. HAHA. And oh yah, I missed 2 episodes of American Idol and and episode of Glee. All because of making use of the time to study for CAs. Sigh. So I didn't watch this week's episode of Glee which was supposed to be the guys and girls mash-up episode. Sigh.

Next week, 2.4km test. I don't even know if i will be able to have the energy. Monday - Mass PE, Tuesday - Training, Wednesday - Competition against Springfield Sec, Thursday - 2.4km test and Friday - Competition and maybe training. Sigh.

Today is the 27th, and I'm happy :D

Forever & Always.

Busy Street

2010-02-19T22:21:00.002+08:00

Hustle and bustle. There are like a million and one things competing for my attention. Thinking about some of them all at the same time. Obviously I have to make decisions to give up some of them due to time constrain. Sigh. But i don't want to. I need to make up my mind. See, this is what happens when I'm making decisions; I can't decide. This week's been great, but tiring though. Pastoral Care lesson kinda made my day today. Laughed a lot during role-playing an interview scene and also when talking centre partings with Deonn, Ariana, Elaina and Atika. HAHAAHAH. I'm telling you, It was real hilarious :D

Literature CA today was fine. I hope I'll do better than last year. I need to get my 15 points for this CA. NEED and WANT. CAs will continue next week, every single day except Friday. The fear of not doing well is starting to get on my nerves. And you know what?!?!!?!?! Mine and Nicole V's name are not on the list for the OCBC CIP. OMG, so irritating. We already signed up for it. Sigh. And i really want to go cause I wanna see the Formula 1 pits. Sigh. My hope of seeing it up close just got crushed.

Oh yah, the next match for Floorball nationals is on Tuesday against St. Anthony Canossian and plus, training after that. Then there's this Art Clinic i have to attend some more. Sigh. I guess I'm not taking the 2.4km test next Thursday cause there's a match on that day also. I wanna get my 2.4km over and done with as soon as possible. Aiming for perfect score for NAPHA again. I hope I can do it. YAY :D

HAHA. Recognize the post title? Its one of Taylor Swift's songs about Joe. HAHA. At one point of time last year, the song was stuck in my head for weeks. Anyway, thats besides the point. I shall now describe today with 3 words. TODAY WAS AMAZING, FUN and NICE! HAHAHA. A couple of firsts today :D. Any major interrogation tomorrow shall be ignored. HAHA.

The past is always going to be deep inside our souls. You can’t run from it, you can’t hide from it. You just have to accept it and remember that you can’t bring the good memories back, but when you’re having one of those days, you can sit back and reminisce on the times you had and the feelings they brought.

Oh Man, Math test and Chemistry remedial tomorrow. I hope there's no Chemistry lab lessons tomorrow. I'm getting bored of the lab :|

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR & HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!

Everything's just been great excluding the upcoming CAs after the Chinese New Year long weekend. Sigh. Finally, the long awaited long weekend is here. I've been waiting for it since school started in January. HAHA. This week's accomplishment: For Literature class, We completed To Kill a Mockingbird. YAY! So on Wednesday, we're watching the movie. Unfortunately. there's still A Midsummer Night's Dream to complete. Sigh. And the first paper is LIT. Sigh. OH YAH, OMG MAN. I need to do more drawings for Art. Sigh. Never-ending drawings. I seriously wonder how the theory paper would be like even though I won't be sitting for it.

Anyway, I'm gonna have a family BBQ tonight. YAY! Looking forward to roast Marshmallows. HaHa.

And that’s the only proof you can have that it is real, and not just a crush or an infatuation or a passing fancy."

2010-02-06T13:32:00.005+08:00

My first February post. For some reason i forgot how to spell the month and went to Dictionary.com to find the spelling. haha. A month has passed. Sigh. And I got the 'O' Level candidate handbook yesterday. When i saw the prices of the papers, I was like OMG, Are you freaking serious!?!?!? Average of $50 per paper. I can like buy so many Converse with the money. HAHA. The prices are so expensive for pieces of paper. LOL. What to do? We still have to pay. Sigh.

I was so damn super extremely tired this week. Never-ending running. On Friday, during recess, ran up to the Council room on the Sec 2 level, I was already panting. This will not happen if I still have energy left. Sigh. I think this coming week will be slightly different. I really hope so. Anyway, CAs are in 2 weeks time, after the long CNY weekend. Sigh. I must do well to get a surprise from my mum :D Secondary 4 life is no joke man. Tests and Quizzes here and there. Homework is not just homework, it more than just homework. I know, sometimes i just think way too much about stuffs. On the other hand, Literature classes are getting more entertaining :D

Finally, everything's fine and back to normal. I'm so relieved. Nothing is bothering my mind anymore. I'm happy :D

Yes.

Its the last day of January. Its the thirty-first for January today. Tomorrow's the first day of February. Sigh. This week has been tiring. Actually, every week has been tiring. Yesterday, went to help out at the N.E. Humanities Challenge as a Station Marshall. And my station was at Geylang Market. HAHA. I wanted to be stationed at the Botanic Gardens. But, too bad. It was still fun though although it could get really boring sometimes until me and Deonn started singing to Live Like We're Dying. We were super bored. Cause after out lunch, at 1pm, NO teams came. Only 7 out of 20 teams came to our station. Sigh. See how bored we were. But the good thing is that we get hours. Yay!

OMG, this coming week, I'll be running every single day. I'm gonna be so damn tired. Monday - 1.5km run, Tuesday - Training, Wednesday - Competition, Thursday - 1.5km run again and Friday - Training. My energy will be drained by the end of the week. Sigh.

I cannot forget that day. I will not forget that day. That 1 single day of the month.

Milk Chocolate

2010-01-26T21:13:00.000+08:00

I need chocolate. A lot of chocolate. M&Ms will be the best chocolate right now. Haha. Pastel coloured M&Ms :D Fererro Rocher will be a bonus right now :D Sigh. But I'm stuck with Nerds now. Watermelon & Punch and Wildberry flavoured nerds. The Wildberry ones are turquoise :D I've always wondered why Willy Wonka called it Nerds. Not like as if it will make us smarter. Haha.

Anyway, school has been Oh My Gosh, I don't know what to say. I'm so tired right now. Homework is never- ending. Its just flowing non-stop. Sigh. There's just too many things on my mind right now. Madness. And OH YAH, I just got news that the next match will be on the 3rd of Feb instead of this Friday against Chua Chu Kang Secondary, if I'm not wrong. Sigh. I wanted to skip OC lessons. Then it will be my 4th week not attending OC lessons. haha. First was because I went of for CCA Fair, second was because we had the Grooming and Dining Etiquette Course and Third was because of Competition. See, Its all valid reasons. HAHA. Now, i can't get my 4th streak :|

Something unusual happened during training today. We had to run around VJC in the sun as warm-up. Then after the run, i found out that i wasn't perspiring. My face was dry. If you don't believe, you can go ask Alicia. I thought there was something wrong with me. Cause everyone else was perspiring. HAHA. Unusual much?

I'm tired. My brain is not thinking. I shall close my Geography books. Its 9pm and my eyes are starting to close. Sigh. But I'm still eating Nerds. I shall throw myself on the bed right now and sleep.

January is coming to an end. Then it'll be Feburary. Time is really flying like nobody's business.

Crayola Crayons always have nice colours. I still have not fully recovered yet. Still coughing a lot. And competition's starting soon. This coming Friday to be exact against I'm not sure which team. If i still have not fully recovered yet, i shall be the girl who runs in the court and coughing at the same time, probably spreading the disease to whoever's in my way. Everytime someone trys to steal the ball from me, i shall cough and cough and cough. haha. In your face man. haha. I'm not so bad. Of course i'll try my best not to do it.

Hmm...went for grooming & dining etiquette course yesterday. One of the most important things i learnt was body language. And whenever someone talks about body language, it always reminds me of the Jesse McCartney and T-Pain song. Anyway, now, if i play truth or dare, i shall make use of what i learnt to see if the person is telling the truth or not. Hahaha. No more hiding.

OMG, there's retreat on Monday and Tuesday after school. OH MY GOSH. And its until 5pm +. There's also Properties of Circles test on Monday. Sigh. Secondary 4 life is going to be worse than this. Remember, its WAR!

The whole week has just been hectic. Congrats for surviving the first week of Secondary 4. There still a long way to go. Sigh. 'O' Level results will be released tomorrow and i think the whole sec 4 level will be witnessing the whole process probably to wake us up if we're still in la la land. I know that i will have butterflies in my stomach just seeing the students receiving their results. And in a year's time, it'll be our turn. How nerve wrecking it that? I'm sure there will be tears tomorrow. Plus, I'm excited to know who the top student it. AHHHHHHHH.....Good luck to ALL students :D

OMG, Art paper 1 will be in my hands by tomorrow. OMG OMG OMG. I'm freaking out for that piece of paper. That non-living thing made from a tree. LOL. I'm getting paranoid.

Everything will be alright, I'm sure you'll do well. I just know it.

The first week of school is soon going to be over. And in no time, it will be 'O' Levels. Time really flies. Sigh. And I'm getting my 'O' Level Art paper 1 on MONDAY! OMG! I feel like dying already. It will be drawings after drawings, colours after colours. Elements of Art and Principles of Design. I better go revise what those are. I'm aiming for a distinction if i can. You'll never know what will happen if you never try. So, i might as well give it a try.

Yeah, the world is certainly a gorgeous place if you know where to look for breath-taking places. Its already the third day of January. Sigh. Bloody school is staring tomorrow. OMG. I so don't want it to start. Plus there will be tests on the first week. OMG. Its so not a fashionable way to start the school year. Everyone agrees right? Of course you will agree. LOL. Time to move on man. Sigh. Its not like as if i can change it.

First day of school is gonna be hectic. Really hectic. I just wish i can split or clone myself. I can't wait for the long Chinese New Year holiday coming up next month. HAHA. And i just realized that it falls on Valentines' Day. LOL. I seriously don't want to go back to school. And I'm repeating this statement for god knows how many times. haha.

Get ready to start your engines poeple.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE !!!

I can't believe its already 2010. OMG. School starts in 3 days time. Its going to be a hectic year. Sigh. Its WAR. I was the only one in my house who actually stayed up past midnight. Thanks to Squirrel. If you didn't went online, i would already be dozing off by 2215H. hahaha. Then at Midnight, my phone started screwing up. It refuses to sent messages out. The line cannot be jammed up because i was still able to receive New Year wishes from friends. The bad thing is, it took quite long for my phone to decide to sent replies out. See, i told you. My phone has its own mind. AHAH. Its nuts.

Lets all celebrate the new year with good food. YEAHHHH....

Final Day Before War

2009-12-31T09:36:00.004+08:00

Getting ready for battle in about 14 hours time. Knights in shining armour. The battlefield is just in front of me. Am i ready to go into the long battle? There's no turning back when i place my foot in the battlefield. But my weapon is not even ready. I have yet to make it sharp. So sharp that you'll feel the pain even when you just take a simple look at it. ( I got the idea from KungFu Panda ) HAHA. Blood, Sweat and tears will be shed during this long war. Its a REAL WAR, i tell you. And the word 'losing' is NOT in my dictionary. I have to WIN this war. I'm sure that neither of us wanna raise the white flag. So lets win this war together.

Anyways, enough of my imagination. I can't believe today's the LAST DAY of 2009. It has certainly been a great year for me even though there were many ups and downs, but i still managed to pick myself up whenever i fall. With the help of friends, of course. School will be so extremely boring without them. I wouldn't even want to go to school, I'd rather be home-schooled. Agreed? This year, I've expanded my circle of friends, found another Formula 1 buddy, found someone who'd always be there for me, been selected to be in the executive committee of student council, achieve grades that i'd never expected myself to get, been through a lot of hard times and been through the Best Camp EVER. I'll certainly cherish those memories. Memories that will be kept in myself forever. All the laughter, all the tears and all the smiles. And, my fun and day out wish has somehow been granted. I enjoyed it even though it wasn't that long.

Its finally the countdown of the year. Not in months, not in weeks, not in days, but in Hours. Eventually, the countdown will be in minutes and finally, in SECONDS and thus, welcoming 2010. Am i supposed to welcome the year with open arms?

Neither of us wanna raise that flag"

This is just a little something for you.

I was sitting at my desk thinking
of the words i wanted to say, but they just wouldn't
fit perfectly
So i thought of a different way

I took a piece of paper
and started writing this poem for you
Cause its the least i could do to thank you
for everything you have done

For always being nice to me
and believing in me
For helping me get through tough times
and never leaving me behind

For accepting my thoughts and feelings
and staying by my side
For never giving up on me
and being my friend

For willing to share my pain and
For knowing how to cheer me up
when I'm down
with your words of encouragement

Now, before my imagination runs wild
it's time for me to go
But before i leave this ink-filled page
there's one thing you should know

As long as we're breathing
no matter when or where
if you ever need me
just call and I'll be there

I'll do what i can
just to be there for you
cause you've been there for me
whenever i needed you

Why does it have to be repeated again and again? Its not like i don't get it. I can say that i get it, but i just don't have the answer to your question at the moment. Thats why i can't answer. I need a little more time to find the answer even though it was such a simple question. I know that i have to study until my brains explode since the expectations are so high. I don't even know if i can achieve it by the end of March with the Floorball nationals going on in January and February. I NEED TO FIND SOMEONE THAT I CAN REFER TO WHEN I NEED HELP WITH MY STUDIES. Who can it be?

OMG, i feel like moving to another universe right now...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!! hahahaha. Its finally Christmas. And I'm gonna spend the day cleaning my room. WooHoo. I'm such a winner. LOL. Thanks for all the wishes that were sent just after midnight and just before midnight. I was already sleeping at 10+ pm last night. HAHA. I happen to have the gift of early eyes. haha. I woke up at 6.45am today. You must be thinking I'm out of my mind. HAHA.

And for some reason, I suddenly woke up at 00.56am and thinking it was already 6am. Something wrong with my automated body clock. It just seem that I've been sleeping for a long time. So i checked my phone and there it was... 10 MESSAGES! I've been flooded with the same message 10 times from 10 different people, in a good way :D So, i was thinking if i should reply them at that time or wait till morning. Cause if i reply, i will surely get a couple of messages back stating how shocked they are, thinking i was still awake at that time. So, in the end i decided to reply the 10 people.

Sure enough, i did get a couple of messages back form Seraphine and Sylvia. hahaha. Shocked much. hahaha. Sylvia, i know you'll be reading this...

Oh yah, yesterday, bought Nike school shoes at 50% OFF. So i only paid $26.50 for it. Believe it or not? You better believe it :D Initially i wanted to buy white Converse until I saw the GREAT DEAL at Royal Sporting House. I'm SO HAPPY :D

Oh Gosh! The year's gonna come to an end very soon and I don't feel like going back to school. I really don't feel like. In several months time, it'll be 'O' level. OMG. My mum was talking to me about it the whole morning. Nothing but HARDCORE studying to lower my points. And i have to change my diet. Why on earth do I have to change my diet? But the problem is that I'm losing my apetite as the days go by, probably because I worry a lot about stuffs.

Yesterday i was thinking about stuffs to blog about today and now, I completely forgot about everything. Hmm.....OH YAH! Michael Schumacher has announced his Formula 1 return with Mercedes! NOW, who am i supposed to support? I have no idea. I still wanna support Ferarri cause Felipe Massa's there then, here comes Michael Schumacher in Mercedes. He should've just continued on Ferarri, then it'll be easier for me. HAHAHA. Then, there's still Jensen Button in Brawn. I'm looking forward to see how Lotus performs though. LOL.

THANK YOU SAM! for buying me the Aeropostale Hoodie. I can't wait to see it :D WooHoo. OMG, I'm so not looking forward to start 2010. Why does time fly so fast? Sometimes, i just wanna turn back time...

I shall watch C.S.I everyday. I'm officially a C.S. I Fan. HAHA. But the dead bodies' just gross to see. Yesterday, in C.S.I Miami, this woman got stabbed from the back with some bloody huge knife. Then can see all the blood flowing out and the hole. OMG, very gruesome. Then, in C.S.I New York, some murder was committed in a plane. The person got stabbed at the throat in the washroom. Then got blood everywhere. In the lab, they did the autopsy and cut the dead person open. Like using some specialized knife to cut the skin and there's this camera which they insert through the hole which created by the murder weapon to see the blood tissues. OMG, very gross already. I shall stop here. But the show is still nice to watch. Especially in the lab where the forensic scientists analyze the evidence. Very cool.

You see right through my pretenses
you look right through my mask
you know just when I need a hug
I never need to ask

You show up when I'm lonely
you stay when I'm depressed
all of my rude comments
you shrug away in jest

You see all my dark
you see all my light
you're always by my side
even when I'm not right

You cheer me when I'm sad
you catch me when I fall
How did you come to earn my trust,
when I trust no one else at all?

Yummy Cupcakes! I just feel like pulling it out from the computer screen. Lol. Anyway, Kevin Jonas and Danielle Deleasa are OFFICIALLY Married. Congrats to them. Don't worry Rebecca, I'm sure he'll be well taken care of. HaHa.

The weather has just been crazy, these past few days. Don't anyone agree? Of course you'll have to agree. Hahaha. and and i've got BLOODY A LOT of POST-ITs. One whole bag filled with colourful sticky notes of different sizes. Anyone wants?

And there goes my mind, off to wonderland. Seriously, its impossible to stop it.

Maybe you're the only one who can.

But, I'm off to watch C.S.I Supreme Sunday on AXN.

I've not been updating since that day. That down day of mine. In fact the day after that was worse. Tears were rolling down my eyes like nobody's business. Don't anyone understand that i already have loads of stuffs on my shoulders? It not like i have nothing to do.In the end, i watched No Laughing Videos to cheer myself up. At least it has taken my mind off things for a little while. Its better than nothing.

Hmm... went shopping on Monday in JB and bought loads of stuffs. Wanted to get an Aeropostale hoodie, but there was not much variety. Wanted to buy Everlast sneakers, but parents said that i already have 2 Converse sneakers. sigh. In the end, i just bought lots of tops. LOL.

Tomorrow shall be crash study day. I shall concentrate for at least 3 hours on Math and SS. Especially properties of the ever wonderful, circles. OMG, a lot of properties to remember. CAs on the FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL is not a fabulous way to start the school year. Sometimes i wonder what's the point of the holidays then, when we still have mountains of schoolwork to complete. I just take it as I'm being home-schooled. And therefore, there's like only limited amount days that i can consider as a holiday for the year. See... i can't stop wondering about things. Its like impossible for me to stop. And OMG, in a few weeks' time, the 'O' level Art paper 1 will be in my hands and soon my hand will be glued to the pencils and eraser. Its been a long time since i've drawn a proper drawing. Sigh.

I'm thankful for my friends who care and never stopped supporting me. Birds fly high, hard to catch, friends like you guys, hard to forget.

2009-12-10T10:00:00.004+08:00

Sometimes i just wonder what had happen in the past and also what would happen in the future. And it is not easy to stop thinking about it. Its more like impossible. And sometimes, this makes me unable to concentrate on my work. I'll continue to day dream all the way even when i know that there's only a few more weeks till the start of 2010. I'm panicking like mad on the inside but on the outside i just look like I have the whole situation under control, when in actual fact, i don't. There's just way to many things in my head right now. Time is just not on my side right now.

Sometimes, i have motivation to do my work and study but my mind will soon drift off to some other place. Sigh. I can't stop my mind from doing that. Its only now that i realize that i have a real strong imagination to the extent that i have to think and imagine about stuffs that has happened or stuffs that may happen. I know that I should not be scaring myself too much and getting paranoid because of the 'O' levels. People just have high expectations of me and I don't want to disappoint them. Or else I'll be thinking that I'm just a total failure. Just like what happened last year around this time, when the A-math test results were out.

I don't want to be in that situation again. Its horrible. I freaking studied really hard for that freaking test. I just don't know why it happened. I tend to blame myself for everything even when I know that its not my fault that it happened. I know things happen for a reason. Sigh. I can't help that I'm being so hard on myself. Everything just have to be in place. I just want everything to be as perfect as it could be. The Os are seriously making me real paranoid. There's just this barrier of fear all around me and its really bringing my confidence down. I guess i don't seem to show it on the outside. *Breaks Down*

OMG, i can't believe i typed all this out.

This morning, helped my dad to wash the car porch. Lol. Spraying water everywhere. OMG, yesterday, followed my mum go grocery shopping at Parkway. And she spent like nearly 3 hours to buy the stuffs for the kitchen. Its damn long. I know. I think she bought like 6 packets of chips and I'm going to bring two of them to the movies. Haha. Sneak in outside food. I'm thinking of sneaking in Starbucks again.haha. Just like last year when watching Twilight with Sherin, Shun Li and Nicole. I snuck in Mocca Frap. lol. WooHoo. Watching New Moon tomorrow & Tuesday. So exciting.

Before going grocery shopping yesterday, I watched Twilight: Love Bites followed by some New Moon/ Twilight programme after that. The lead actors seem very stressed out because of the paparazzi who always get into their faces to get shots of them. Lol. Everywhere they go, its either camera flashes or screaming fans or both. Its crazy. I seriously am amazed on how they can handle their international superstardom especially the paparazzi part. Lol. TEAM JACOB.

Red Hybrid Tea Rose. Haha. I'm still under the flowers craze. I tried drawing flowers for the CA3 project and it looks too rough when it actually supposed to look soft as its an organic object. I always draw with thick/bold lines cause i think it will look neater that way. Anyways, I managed to complete paper 1 for both math papers although there are some blanks here and there. When i wanted to start with paper 2, i started to lose motivation and began daydreaming and listening to some music for like the next half hour before i start using the computer. I'm so fail. LOL. And, SYLVIAAAA!!! You need to help me. I'm freaking out when I'm actually not supposed to. I know you'll be reading this. Haha.

I just watched Teen Cribs on MTV just now and how i wish i have a full sized indoor sports hall in my very own house together with a rock wall in the hall too. OMG. Then i can play and play and play non-stop. And also rock climb anytime a want. There's no need for any belayer too. Haha. A cinema/TV room in the house will be super cool too. Big screen and surround sound system. LoL. Like as if i can get all those. With the cost of my current house here, my family can even have a much larger house in the States probably enough to have a theatre in the house too. I know, I'm dreaming. Sigh... Life is unfair, i know.

Geez, i don't know why its all of a sudden, but I'm very much into flowers right now. From colour pencils craze to the fabulous world of flowers. I guess thats just me. I shall see what's next. Hmm... math is such a bore right now, but i need to complete the papers. How am i gonna do it? Hmm................... I don't know and I'm not in the mood to calculate stuffs. I guess, I'll just have to force myself. Sigh. Speaking of math, Justin Bieber's song, Common Denominator. Its a pretty nice song. Go listen if you want to.

LOLFirst class & PCK yesterday was super hilarious and lame at the same time. Last night i had and awesome dream and i didn't want to wake up, but too bad i woke up. I've been doing art & crafts today and i managed to do some touch-ups on my creations. Should i make christmas cards? But, seriously, i need to practice math.OMG, math. I've not done a single thing for the subject when really should be doing something. Especially for trigonometry and properties of circles. I need motivation. I really need LOADS of motivation for the subject or else i just sink down. Anyways, i need to go shopping. This time proper shopping.

One last thing,

HAPPY FIFTEENTH SAM !

2009-12-01T15:12:00.006+08:00

I broke my record for sleeping late for 3 nights when i was in Indonesia. I slept like past midnight, around 1- 2am. I know its not considered late to some people. You guys must be curious about what i did that made me stay up. Haha. I played Stress with my aunt and the kids there since i brought along my UNO cards. Taught the kids how to play, and there they go challenging each other till past midnight. Last Friday, after dropping by my grandparents' house at Tiban Raya, Batam, went to Nagoya Hill Mall to buy stuffs and play arcade with my aunt. Played lots of Whacko (spell?) till my palms are partially bruised cause I didn't want to make use of the spongy hammer. So i just whack the squirrels wits my hands while my aunt used the hammer. LOL. Watched a bunch of movies at the house too.

Yay, I have a new colour palette :D As you can see, some of the colours are missing, but it does not really matter. What matters is that there are at least 60 awesome colours for me to work with. The colour pencil obsession is about to take over me once again. LOL. Sigh. I'm leaving S'pore in the evening and will probably be back in about a week which means i'll have no access to any computer until then. When I'm back, its time for NEW MOON! I'm so excited :D

The good news is that we (me & Sherin) managed to complete the Geography project within 3 hours yesterday with of course, some side tracks. Lol. Watching the Fred Christmas Cash Video, listening to Cannon Rock and Faber Drive. But, the most important thing is that, the work's done! YAY! Then i played Cannon Rock on JamLegend on Normal level and Sherin played the song on the Legendary Level (hardest level) which was a total madness. The longest streak was only about 8. LOL. You need like super fast voluntary reflex actions to play at The legendary level. Totally impossible for me. LOL.

We had lunch at Burger King then Frolick's. Yummy frozen yoghurt :D alongside with Berrylite.

Tomorrow night, I'll be leaving for Indonesia on a Night ferry ride. I wonder how it'll be like? Hmm... I just hope for fine weather so that the waves won't be that rough. I'll miss you.

I am trying to complete as much work as possible before i leave for Indonesia on Thursday. Today, I'm aiming to complete the Malay papers and probably some Biology work. Tomorrow, I'll be at Sherin's place to do Geography work. If we manage too complete it, then it'll be Fantastic. I hope it could happen though. There's still much more work to be completed and i still need to study for the tests on the first week of school. This is such a bummer. Plus, my Microsoft Word is down so, i have to use Google Docs instead to do the projects. Sigh. Why does it have to be like that. Luckily, Google Docs came to the rescue. LOL. I don't know why, but I'm starting to lose confidence and doubting myself for next year. Perhaps, I'm scaring myself too much?

After much deliberation, i have decided to play a part in the school team and try to be overall champions again. The pressure's on.

What have i gotten myself into? Now, I have even more things going on in my life. I have to set my priorities right. Damn. Cause i so happen to get into the School team for Floorball. Should i go for it or not? I don't like making decisions like this. Someone help me. Please.

Half of me is saying "Go for it, cause you will get more points for LEAPS and probably achieve something only when you participate. You don't want to repeat what happened this year right!?!?!? OMG just go lah!!!"

The other half of me is saying "No, don't go. You MUST GO STUDY MORE. Later miss on a lot of stuff in school which would probably equals to having poor results in the first term. O levels are coming is LESS than a year! You want to get into a JC right?!?!? Don't go."

My head is spinning like mad now. I seriously need to talk to my parents. I really wish you could help me now. I am worried about the choice that i would make. Will i regret it? Sigh. I still have to study for 3 more subjects for religious school exam on Sunday. And i can't study tomorrow cause i'll be attending the Graduation Luncheon. Oh Yah!, GO And listen to FABER DRIVE!

I dislike you for making me feel like this. LOL.

I'm not supposed to feel this way, but i can't help it.

Plus I'm off to Indonesia to accompany my grandparents this coming Sunday and will be there for a week. Obviously, i have to bring my homework there cause there's not much time left as you can see. The sky seem so dark.

I am done with my Art Holiday Project. Finally, i tick off 1 more box of my to-do-list.YAY.

But, I'm so frustrated with my brother. He's getting on my nerve. Freaking annoying. Seriously.

Sorry for venting my anger here. I feel like crushing something right NOW...URRRGGGHHHH!!!!

*Takes deep breaths for a few minutes* and Calms down.

I remember what you said the other day about Showing strength and courage in face of difficulty...

THANK YOU.

Schedule

2009-11-15T18:40:00.004+08:00

Back from Council Camp. And My whole body is aching. I know its my fault due to 'Find & Catch the EXCOs'. I was struggling like some mad person. Overall, it was a success. Really a lot of work being put into the planning. Congrats to the 10 of us. Although it could have been better if it didn't rain. This will probably be my last camp in my Secondary school life. Sobb. I wish there was more. Sigh. Plus, this week, there will be Oral Communication course for two days, Graduation Lunch Rehersal, Floorball training & the actual graduation lunch. I'm just part of the AV Crew for grad lunch. I don't know why, but my schedule tends to always be packed. Damn.

I'm gonna miss talking to you too.

Street

2009-11-11T08:12:00.002+08:00

Bustling streets of NYC is just like my life right now. All the vehicles just zooming everywhere which sometimes leads to a congested street; The Big Apple. There's just so much things i need to complete before school starts in 2010. But my brain is not working with me. Plus Council Camp's Tomorrow and i will be missing 3 days (approx) of studying for my religious school EOY Exam. I think my Oral exam last week was already screwed. Sigh. I need the mood of studying to be on my side. At least my Art homework is interesting.

All i want from the holidays is just ONE DAY of Fun and Madness. Just one. I'm not asking for more. The rest of the days, my face can be squashed between textbooks. All i need is just that one, single day. Sigh. Will it ever happen? Now, who will make my wish come true?

Taking The Stage

2009-11-08T16:38:00.004+08:00

I was watching Taking The Stage weekend marathon on MTV and i finally know the ending to the season. I really hope there will be a second season. Pretty nice story actually, but you can somehow expect what to happen next. All the performances are just damn nice. LOL. Tyler and Mia should just stick with each other. Full stop. The story is really about the passion for the performing arts and how much effort the students put in to achieve their dreams despite all the challengers they have to overcome, trying to outshine each other. So thats basically it.

My dad just randomly told me that Beyonce's dancers were in the same flight as him when he was on the way to Portland the other day after the F1 Rocks Concert. They were so surprised to see their faces on the Straits Times that morning (5am) when the concert took place the night before according to my dad.

Wetland

2009-11-04T18:17:00.003+08:00

Today, went to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve for Biology field trip. We were learning about Ecology. How the plants and animals adapt to the wetland habitat and blah blah blah. Saw lizards, birds, bus and loads of other nature stuffs. Then the most unlucky thing happened to me. I was taking a look at the roots of the mangrove trees when i felt something dropped on my head. Then i ask Ariana to check if there was anything. She told me that there was bird crap on my head. I didn't believe her. Then Wen Yi told me that there really was bird crap. OMG. Pure bad luck! So damn Unlucky.

I'm currently suffering from muscle aches because of the Floorball training yesterday. Plus, there's training tmr. OMG. More muscle aches.

NYP & Poetry in the Park

2009-10-28T19:56:00.002+08:00

NYP excursion was quite interesting. I was able to see how Poly life was and about the courses available. Had a tour of the campus to different schools mainly the School of Interactive & Digital Media, School of Chemical & Life Sciences and School of Life Sciences. The Operating theatre and the Labs are super cool. Can see the real life basic operating theatre with all the equipments and machines. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to go to the School of Design which i really wanted to see. There was a lot of walking though.

Poetry in the Park was n interesting event held at RI. The school compound is seriously huge. How i wish KC took over the place. My wish will obviously not be granted. LOL. Anyways, Local poets were there to recite some of their works and answer questions and talk about poetry. Not that much really.

Unproductive Day

2009-10-27T17:29:00.002+08:00

Really unproductive day excluding board meeting. Had like 3h+ of free time. Obviously everyone was very bored except for those playing 'Stress' and other games. I was dying from boredom. Practically staring at the desk, the white board, the notice board and probably the messy floor. Anyways, I caught the Flu bug and Sam didn't believe me cause apparently, I don't look sick at all. HARLOWW....My nose is like leaking and my throat is in pain. Never mind, just forget about this boring school day. Looking forward to PCK tonight!

Tomorrow, going to NYP and RI. Sigh. Long Day tomorrow.

2009-10-26T17:46:00.003+08:00

Went to CHIJMES today to further our knowledge about the starting of the Convent. Went round and round CHIJMES like we're walking aimlessly. When we went into the Caldwell House, i took the above pic. Imagine, at night, when there are only little lights. Look so haunted. WOOOOOOOOOO........

We had to sketch some stuffs and my sketches were epic failures. How to draw the gigantic main gate. So complicated some more. Then i anyhow draw. LOL. It was horrible.

There was a lot of walking though...

And my nose is officially a leaking tap. Yes, i'm sick. I have been sneezing a lot today. Cause i ate far too much chocolate these past few days. Yesterday, ate two sticks of chocolate ice-cream. Then today, ate Kinder Bueno and drank Milo. I'm such a winner. LOL.

OMG. Boring school day ahead. But on the bright side there's PCK tmr. AHAHHAHAH!

On Wednesday, need to go for some Poetry in the Park event at RI and Rebecca's going too (:

Going for the Simple-ness.

A while more...

2009-10-24T19:05:00.003+08:00

I am already very scared for next year cause i obviously don't want to crash and burn. Guess what?!?!?!? BIOLOGY TEST on the first week of school in 2010. OMG. Its only the first week and there is already a test. Damn. Gonna use the holidays to study like mad as if there will be an exam in January 2010. I need to study more. But i need motivation. My mum is already stressing me out because of the 'O's next year and making me panic even more. * Taking Deep Breaths* This reminds me of the Art paper 1. OMG! *Taking more deep breaths* My brain is bursting.

I just need a little more time to be away from my books.

I need to calm down.

I need to learn to not be so worried.

I need to stop panicking.

I need to talk to someone, anyone.

I need some H-E-L-P.

I need motivation.

I need to STOP blacking-out for math.

I need to eliminate ALL careless-ness.

I need to stop scaring myself.

I need to take more deep breaths

Lastly, I need...

2009-10-21T16:09:00.004+08:00

First day of results and i kinda expected the score except for Literature. I really thought i WILL get a ONE DIGIT NUMBER for the Mockingbird essay from the minute i stepped out of the classroom after Literature paper 1 . I seriously thought i went way out of point for the Mockingbird essay. In the end i PASSED! and got a FIFTEEN. I know its very low :/ But i improved :) Math, i don't need to say anything. Malay, there was an improvement. But i still NEED to brush-up cause i want to get a Distinction for the 'O's. Today was not a bad day after all. Sigh. I need more colours in my life and i like colours (: Whoever invented colours is/are AWESOME. Can you imagine life without colours?

You're all the COLOURS that i can ever imagine. Face it, you really are.

Memory Testing-OBS

2009-10-16T17:11:00.005+08:00

Today is the 16th of October and i shall test my memory after 2 months since the day i went for OBS, Best camp in Singapore. I hope i can get it correct and this shall be the longest post EVER in the history of my posts. 5 whole days without books.

DAY 1:

Everyone gathered at the foyer cause all of us were allowed to skip assembly. Me and Sam were nervous about the groups that we were put into and i really wanted her to be in my group. Unfortunately, my wish was not granted. She was placed in Raja while i was in Dhanabalan together with Sylvia, Chloe and Zoey. Said all our goodbyes to friends and board the bus and off we go to Punggol Jetty. As usual, there was morning traffic. After reaching the destination, all of us chit-chatted for a while more before we sat in out groups and waited for more people to come. While waiting, we were told to eat out snacks cause at the campus, there will be no opportunity to eat out snacks so all of us shared Chloe's Mini Oreos. Then we waited again. I was nerve-wrecked cause i really don't know what to expect, but was excited at the same time. Then finally, the time came for us to board the ferry. Took attendance and settled admin stuffs and my group's instructors were Ahmad and Shamil. Blah blah blah... Then Finally boarded the ferry and off wee go. Assembled in the main hall and started with group intro and stuffs. DAY 1 is the most awkward day out of the 5 days. Really. Played teamwork games and trust fall then we had to settle the food rations for all the 5 days. Unfortunately, while were packing the food, it started to RAIN. Which means that our kayak session had to be shortened. Bummer. After packing the food, we had to carry all out stuffs up in the RAIN to our store which was the furthest on the hill. Bad luck i guess. Then it was briefing and stuffs and finally, NO MORE RAIN. Off we go for kayak session with Eng Soon (buddy group). Lesson was fun but super tiring at the some time. The T- Rescue was what that made my arms tired. The kayak just had to be freaking heavy. Session ended at 6+pm and we have not pitched out tents yet. Went to wash up first while the guys were cooking. My first time eating food that was cooked outdoors. It was nice, i have to say. Then was around 10+ pm when we started pitching out tents and some unknown place surrounded with huge trees. Slept around 11+. It was freaking cold, i must say.

DAY 2:

Woke up at 5 and had Physical training at 6+am. Flag raising was super unusual. Did some games with Eng Soon which was _______. There was this colour game which don't really have a point to it and once, the instructors said to place the nose on something pink and so happened i was wearing light pink bermudas that morning to the KC people all went to my bermudas and me nose was on Yu Shan's rubberband. Then all the other people who could not find anything pink to put their nose on had to to a forfeit was was the nonsense Do-Do dance. Obviously all the guys had to do the dance and some girls also. This was the KCians first escape from the dance. After games we did sit-ups, push-ups and other stuffs then its off to rafting. So far, all the camps that i went to, all the rafts that were built were an epic failure. However the raft that my group built together in OBS was a SUCCESS! No one went overboard. Apparently it was a race to find a certain treasure. My group won and the treasure was a bottle of cold syrup water and we shared our treasure with Eng Soon. After that we had jetty jump. It was AWESOME! Then we had rock climbing and our challenge was to solve the word puzzle to find out where the night's campsite was which was campsite 2. After solving, we went to our store to pack the stuffs for the land and sea expedition. When we were done packing, Ahmad and Murali (eng soon's instuuctor) told us that there was something important going on in camp 2(1.5km away) and our campsite for the night had to be at some place which was 3km away. Another bummer. The bag that i was carrying was the food and including fruits. OMG, it was darn HEAVY. I combined stuffs with Sylvia so she carried another bag. Had to cook dinner first before setting off and our rice was taking AGES to cook. In the end, dinner was 3 in 1 rice. Porridge was at the very bottom of the pot, cooked rice was in the middle( i think) and uncooked rice was on top. We cannot wait any longer so we just ate what we had plus it was already getting dark. In the end we had to track to our campsite IN THE DARK. I cant see a thing. I wished i had night vision. LOL. My shoulders were already starting to hurt cause the bag was too big for me. Too bad for me, i guess. Reached campsite, pitched our tents and had briefing about the toilets which, FYI, was at the beach. Then Lights off.

DAY 3: (worst day for me)

Two words, LAND EXPEDITION. OMG! In the morning me, Chloe,Zoey and Sylvia, un-pitch the tent, first day without bathing with water. Not so gross yet. Began with map-reading session and plotting of the stations on the topo map. The guys was doing the plotting while i gave out the granola bars and other snacks. At least, my bag was a little lighter. Then off we go to track. We had like freaking A LOT of stations to covers so we did road-blocks to strike off some stations. Lik Xian was leading first then it was me and Zoey to lead the group to the highest point of Pulau Ubin. I was seriously really tiring, climbing up the hill with the darn heavy bag. After tracking back down we had lunch, which was bread and my bag should be a little lighter, but i could not feel the difference. Traded bags and continued the journey to the rest of the stations till we reach viewing tower Chek Jawa. On the way, i saw Sam and her group who were like resting. On top of the tower, we were told where our campsite was for the night. Initially Ahmad told us that it was FREAKING ALL THE WAY BACK TO CAMP 1. I immediately felt like crying already. OMG! I'm like already dying, tracking from one end of the island to another end which was like 13km (I think). But apparently he was trying to shock us. So out campsite was about 5km away from where we were at. All of us were like walking at a fast pace except me. I was like at the back of the group. I was disappointed with myself cause from the start of the land expedition, i was among the people who were at the front of the group. Terrence was like motivating me to go faster, but i cant talk. I had no more energy to talk. I was like failing myself. Anyways, i still made it to the campsite. The wind there was like so AWESOME and we had loads of time before the briefing for sea expedition the next day. So i helped to cook dinner in one pot and talk and talk. Yes, i got my voice back. We also had briefing about santry duty which every tent has to do.

DAY 4:(most enjoyable day)

I remembered, my tent had duty at around 3+am, if im not wrong. The Scouts, so nice, made us warm Milo. Omg, the taste of Milo was so nice. In the end was spent out time making milo. HAAHAH. Before that, i remembered Julian telling me that someone from the other girls' tent was moaning my name. So weird. Then when i asked them, they told me no one did it. Strange. Someone was sleep-talking i guess? After my tent's duty was Terrence's tent duty. In the end Me, Zoey, Chloe and Sylvia didnt go back to sleep, but start preparing for the Sea expedition. WooHoo. So exciting. All of us (Dhanabalan & Eng Soon) woke up so darn early, but in the end we had to wait patiently for Mr. Sun to rise. When the sun was starting to rise, off we go to the sea. I was in a double kayak with Sylvia. Then the fun started when all stated kayaking. Our destination was back to Camp 1. We had to kakak around the circumference of Pulau Ubin and aiming to break the record held by previous groups. On the way, we played games, heard jokes from Murali, sang songs, enjoy the big waves, had unofficial races and said HI repeatedly to people. We were rafting up at one point and the people the in the kayak beside me and sylvia so happened to be my long-lost friend, Afiqah, whom i last saw 6-7 years ago cause she migrated to Dubai. Unexpected things really happen in OBS. "Expect the unxpected". Eventually we reached Camp 1 in 4h 45mins, if i'm not wrong. WE BROKE THE RECORD. Yeahhh! Thanks to Sylvia, the pro, we had fantastic coordination. Washed and stack back the kayaks and off we go to wash up (finally, with water) , and ate lunch. Some went to pitch tents while some others helped to wash the ponchos. After that we had another task to do. We were told that there was an emergency near the reservoir and our help was needed to rescue these people ( it was not an emergency at all). All our stuffs were put onto 2 stretchers, one for Dhanabalan and the other for Eng Soon. We were actually supposed to transport the 'spirit of Dhanabalan' from one end of the obstacle course to the other within a period of time, if not, it'll die. The stretcher was so heavy because of all the heavy water bottles. So we drank as much as possible to make the stretcher lighter for the guys to carry. The obstacle course seem easy but the challenge we had made the obstacle course the hardest course i've ever encountered. In the end, we failed. Its rather saddening even though we already tried out best. For dinner, both groups had celebration cooking. Each group had to cook a meal and build a shelter for each other. While cooking, it RAINED. Another bummer. Oh well, what to do.We also had to present it to each other. Eng Soon's presentation was like super HILARIOUS. I shall not go into details.HAHA. In the end, we ate what we cooked. It was a test to see if we will do our best for others. Then alfter clearing up the place, it was the other highlight of the day, NIGHT WALK. I can say that it was the BEST NIGHT WALK i've ever had. We had to walk at around 100m(i think) back to the campsite from the start of reservoir without any light source, ALONE. We were only allowed to use the light stick that we were given when there's and emergency. And absolutely no talking at all. I was the second girl and the 6th person to go as we had to go in intervals. I was proud for myself for making it till the end even though the eire vibe was all around me and i felt something brushed pass me. After everyone completed the challenge, we go ready for sleep. Me, Juliani and Selan had i chat on the walkway while the others went back up to the store to get their sleeping bags and stuffs. Selan told his hilarious and scary (in my opinion) night walk experience. Everyone should hear it. Then it was lights off for everyone.

DAY 5:

Last Day of the leadership course. Sigh. Time really do fly very fast. Had Physical training and Flag raising in the morning. As usual we played games. But this time, it was with the rest of the groups. After morning PT, we went to clear and pack the stores. Some people were washing while some others were counting the number of stuffs. Had fun laughing and playing at the same time. Yusuff, really funny guy. HAHA. Exchanged contacts and blah blah blah...After we had the store checked, its off to the main hall. Then suddenly, we had a note to change into our wet attire. Everyone was like OMG, we pack everything nicely already. Anyways we still had to do it. So all of us thought that we will be the one of the fortunate groups that will do the Jetty Jump twice. And our thoughts were correct. We JUMPED AGAIN. It was fun. Swam back to shore together as a team. On shore, we were presented with out certificates of completion. I survived the 5 days. After washing up, we had debriefing and reflections. I was getting really emotional probably because i really did cherish what we did as a team and the challenges we managed to accomplish with the help of motivation from each other. Learned about the Johari's Window and wrote on the papers on each other's backs about what they felt about us. More reflection and camp 1 debriefing and off we go to mainland Singapore. Other schools went first while KC and CH ferries got delayed due to bad weather. YAY, longer time in OBS campus. Me and Sam talking and talking non-stop. When the weather was fine, we boarded the ferry and off we go... And i was panicking about the amount of homework i have to complete and worrying if i could catch up.

1 down, a lot more to go.

2009-10-01T18:32:00.002+08:00

English papers today and I am having a good feeling about it.

Amazingly, i could not believe what i wrote for the free writing component. Seriously. I guess i really had an inspiration in order for me to write about the topic. Anyways, what's done is done. I obviously can't turn back time. Thanks for all the good luck wishes (:

I'm gonna prepare for ML papers tmr.

Du jour (doo jahw)

2009-09-28T16:17:00.003+08:00

I found a handout in my English file that is UBER cool.

Its an A-Z list of commonly-used French, Latin, German, Italian and even Yiddish expressions.

Then i came across Carpe diem. I knew that i saw and heard this word being used loads of time. And all the while i thought Carpe diem is a word related to Biology. Something to do with transport in humans. HAHAHAH. I know I'm dumb. I totally laughed at myself when i found out what it means which is: Seize the day. Totally different meanings.

Then i came across another word on the handout: Je ne sais quoi (juh nuh say kwah).

Sentence: I can't pinpoint why i find him so charming - It's a certain je ne sais quoi he posesses.

Hah. Try figuring out what it means youself. I have been trying to remember this word but i just cant , but i remembered Al dente.

I am suddenly interested in Haute couture. I don't know why. Being too excited to read the handout that i found, i read verbatim. I will be so glad if i am able to draw carte blanche.

Sigh.

S'pore Grand Prix O9

2009-09-28T15:52:00.003+08:00

Watched Formula 1 yesterday at my mum's office. And the view is so cool. The Esplanade and Court area. Everything was Awesome.Hahaha. My mum's letting me go for next year's race. YAY!!! but then later i so loner cause i will only have one ticket. Sigh. Last night's race was kind of predictable. I was hoping for Kimi to get into the top five but it didn't happen. I want Felipe Massa to come back to Ferarri. I'd rather him than Alonso.

Anyways congrats to : Lewis Hamilton

The lights are SUPER bright at night.

Formula 1

2009-09-26T14:06:00.003+08:00

Haha. I know I'm not supposed to be here.

I really can't help it.

Watched the end of Practice session 1 and the whole of practice session 2 of Formula 1.

And 2 cars crashed if I'm not wrong.

Terrence all of a sudden called me. I cannot really hear what he was saying cause I only can mostly hear the roaring of the engines when the car passes by. Rather awesome to hear it live.

Too bad i can't get the tickets. Because of exams. Damn you, exams.

Anyways, on the race day, I'll be going to my mum's office near Suntec to watch the race from there.LoL. So cheapo, i know. But at least its better than nothing.

I'm guessing that either 1 of the Brawn drivers will get the pole position today.

After all, all the drivers will stand a chance to get it today.

So saddening that F. Massa is not in the race. It will be even more awesome if he is in.

I'll still be supporting Ferrari and Brawn!!! YEAHHHHHHHHH...

The qualifying round is starting around 10 and will end probably around 11.15pm

and guess what i have to wake up at 2am to send my father to the airport. He's flying to Portland, Oregon again.

To NICOLE: How do you know if i was acting or not? haha. You're jumping to conclusions without much evidence. You don't even know it...

I was wrong

2009-09-23T17:19:00.003+08:00

I was so wrong. I have the craving to blog today. Guess what i wanted to blog about but, in the end decided not to. I wanted to blog about OBS. I know its a super strange time to blog about the full story now. Maybe i should wait for october 16th to blog about it. Then it will be 2 months since i went for OBS. It shall test my memory. I shall challenge myself.

I seriously can't concentrate studying geography plus doing the homework: Qn 4 of Sec 4 Express 2008 Prelim paper. Developments in Food Production. The genetically modified foods and what nots. Probably because now is not the right time to study the subject. I shall keep re-reading the chapters tested for EOYs. Now is a nice time to practice Math. Math today = Arc length + Radian. Math CA4 on Friday = Trigonometric Ratios + Angle of elevation and depression. I can do it. I know i can.

Great...I just remembered that i have to research on the Jim Crow Laws for Literature.

The Jim Crow laws were state and local laws in the United States enacted between 1876 and 1965. They mandated de jure segregation in all public facilities, with a supposedly "separate but equal" status for black Americans. In reality, this led to treatment and accommodations that were usually inferior to those provided for white Americans, systematizing a number of economic, educational and social disadvantages.

Darn it i NEED TO STUDY GEOGRAPHY!!!

Its a NEED not a WANT. My mind some how does not agree with me. Lets see what i can recall...

Rivers: Upper,middle, lower course
Energy of River: gradient, roughness & wetted perimeter.
Volume of river: Size of drainage basin, Presence of vegetation, climate and permeability of rock.
River Processes: Corrasion, Attrition, Saltation, Solution, Traction, Saltation, Solution & Suspension.
Landforms: Waterfalls, Meanders, Levees, Floodplains, Gorges, Valleys & Deltas.
Management: Re-alignment, Re-sectioning, Bank Protection & Planting Vegetation.

YES. Sense of satisfaction for the topic of rivers. Seriously a lot of stuffs. OMG, calculation of Moles for Chem. OMG, i was half awake when the teacher taught that. I tried all sorts of ways to keep myself fully awake okay... Now, i don't really know how to do it. Shoots. And Chem CA 4 is next Tuesday. Metals and Mole Calculation. OMG must memorize formulas some more.

Sigh. Lets do it.

And off i go to force myself to study geography.

Last But Not The Least

2009-09-16T15:09:00.003+08:00

This will probably be my last post before the exams start.

LAST LAST LAST.

And i finally got my belated birthday present from Nicole. V and Preeti. Wanna see?

Well, here it is:

I have no idea why they gave me the Lightstick, which reminds me of the OBS night walk and the toy aeroplane. Speaking of OBS, Zakiah is going for the camp in Nov. It will probably be same course.SO NOT FAIR. I wanna go again. TECHNICALLY, ITS FAIR. I had my chance in August and now's her chance. But i wanna do everything all over again. Sigh. I wish i had a time machine so that i can rewind time. I really wonder what would happen. Hmmm........

Then i can like redo all the tests and get an even better mark. Like as if it would happen, quit being on imagination land, Sofiah, come back to reality.

In reality, i run my own show entitled ___________ (fill in the blanks). Only that i cant predict what will happen next. But i have to reherse a lot before i start my show in 15 days time. I'm just keeping it real. Biology today was about Chronic Bronchitis, Emphysema, Atherosclerosis and Lung Cancer. Diseases. Damn you, Respiration. Aerobic and Anaerobic. Damn you, ventricular systole and diastole. LOL. I shall start doing the mind maps for social studies.

Serious-ness

2009-09-15T15:38:00.006+08:00

I am trying to be serious here. Very serious. Well, maybe not that serious.

Being interrogated by 2 people at once is very ________.

Everyone has a secret that Everyone does not know about. Its just between yourself and no one else :) and I don't mean to sound to mean. But i cant help it. Maybe, i was just acting as if its a joke. Confused now??? yeah, you better be. I'm not telling until i feel like telling :) Haha. Wait long long. In the mean time, i'll just say i don't know.

Australian Math Competition results are out and i didn't expect myself to well for it. I only got to the proficiency level. Kinda knew it. BTW, congrats to the 3 girls who got distinctions. Speaking about math, there are like 12 chapters for EOYs. Travel graphs and Trigonometry is so not my thing. Sigh. Well, what to do? I have no choice but to get at least an A. I managed to do it in the beginning of the year, and i shall try to achieve it again. For Biology, i'm ALWAYS hanging on a thread. A-L-W-A-Y-S. I just have to change the A-L-W-A-Y-S to R-A-R-E-L-Y. But, i don't know if i can do it. Same goes to Geography. Finally, the original teacher's back after 1 whole term of relief teachers.

This term will pass at the speed of light. Everything will just come and go, so there's no more time for fun stuffs. Oh man. Why does it have to be like that? Its such a rush. 16 days till i sit for the first paper.

This is so ________. (feeling of frustration). Nevermind, i shall calm down.

But anyways, HONOR SOCIETY's Fashionably Late should be released in the States today!!!

Sam, you have to lend me the album and don't forget the other Aeropostale stuffs :) I can't wait.

Cherios :)

P.S. Flashback: a poem i wrote in August last year.

THE WHISPERS
written by Sofiah.

I don’t know ,
So I’m finding the reason why,
But all I have is a silent sigh,
And a whisper to follow,
i strive to try

Holding my breath,
Till the count of ten,
Thinking through hard every second,
and what happened then

The Whispers in the silence,
breaking through the walls,
and stopping violence,
walking alone through the hallways,
it just gets harder day-by-day

So just follow the whispers,
that your heart says,
and remember the memories
that will never be put away

I know you'll come around someday,
I just have to remember it everyday,
and I know everything matters in some way,
I just have to wait for the perfect day.

After 17 Days

2009-09-14T21:27:00.005+08:00

My blog is so dead.

But my twitter is updated everyday.

and My hands are getting rough and the skin on my fingers are peeling. This is so not good :(

The reason is obviously, NOT ENOUGH H2O. Like DUH! I'm fasting.

Dear hands, i'll do something about it after fasting month is over :)

The best news during the holidays: I got 87/100 for ARABIC Mid-Years!!! Highest among all my other 5 subjects. I usually either fail or just passed. I even had ZERO before in p4 i think.

And and and,

Guess what!??!!?? When fasting month's over, its CCA stand down. OMG this is So GOOD.

This is what i made using photoshop CS4.:

Yup, I got bored after making the coaster designs, so i did this. Its called: 60% Unlike Me.

Its also called doing-something-productive-instead-of-wasting-time. HAHAH.LOL.

And and and, i nearly forgot to mention.......

BIOLOGY IS DRIVING ME CRAZY. I am going insane. I'm serious.

Especially for 1.Transport in Humans, 2.Respiration.

THE HEART & THE CARDIAC CYCLE, omg. Its like rock hard. I spend at least 2.5 days studying just on the topic. The studying has just been an epic failure.

"Heart, Why must you be so hard to understand?"

Plus, there's only 17 MORE DAYS till the ENGLISH PAPER.

Okay, its done for now.

"With every step you climb another mountain, every breath is harder to believe..."

SO shoots.

2009-08-13T19:52:00.002+08:00

CAs, i think i screwed up Math and Literature. Literature today was a nightmare. The poem was so confusing. I don't even know where to start.I am sure that i misread the poem. I just felt like SCREAMING after i read the poem for the first time!!! Its guaranteed Failed. Seriously, i think, i wrote rubbish ,like full of crap. Shoots...

Shoots, shoots, shoots.....

I'm dead....

However, on the bright side, well, the other side's not really bright although there's only 1 paper left which is probably the treacherous SS. ARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

JOE and MY BIRTHDAY IS ON SAT!!!!

THANKS ALICIA for the AWESOME early birthday present!!!!

070809 - A day to remember.

Its confirmed that i'm head of Logistics from year 09 to 10.

CONGRATS To EVERYONE (the 10 of us) for making into excoship.

Firstly, i would like to thank God for giving me this opportunity.

I would also like to thank the rest of the councillors and graduating seniors for all they have done for me.

Special THANKS to The 08/09 Excos, you guys did a really great job although there are many ups and downs Esp Genevieve for always being there for me, supporting me, calming me down and sometimes being my bus number 15 buddy. I'm gonna miss you loads.

Not forgetting my other friends who have supported me along the way.

To the new 10 EXCOS, lets make this journey of Excoship worthwhile and an experience that we will never forget.

THANKS AGAIN!

It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

So good luck to me. I dont even know whats going on and what i am supposed to do.

I have NO experience at All in this genre of art.

Its gonna be so embarrassing.

Dreamy? I guess so.

2009-07-14T20:06:00.003+08:00

I was dreamy these past few days according to Sam.

As usual, daydreaming about you know, stuff.

Stuffs that i've been wanting to do.

And also my interest in Art has somehow grown after what Ms T said.

Strange, i know.

Should i major in art next time? I seriously don't know.

Sam, thanks for accompanying me to do the photo shoot at Orchard.

It pays man! The grade i've gotten for the pics.

Congrats to Sam and Sherin the soon-to-be EXCOS.

Please do not kill me for saying it.

HARRY POTTER this SAT @ Cathay Orchard.

KEVIN JONAS GETS ENGAGED

Kevin Jonas surprised his girlfriend Danielle Deleasa by showing up at her doorstep in New Jersey early Wednesday morning and dropping down to his knee to ask her to marry him. Presented with a cushion-cut diamond ring that Jonas designed with Jacob & Co., Deleasa couldn't believe what was happening.

Then, "She said yes, yes, yes like 500 times super fast in a row," the oldest of the Jonas Brothers tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Jonas, 21, and Deleasa, 22, who met in May of 2007 while vacationing with their families in the Bahamas, haven't set a wedding date yet. "It still feels like a dream," she tells PEOPLE.

Overnight Flight

When Deleasa, a former hairdresser, first met Jonas two years ago, she admits, "I didn't know who the Jonas Brothers were." It was Kevin who eagerly pursued her after meeting her and then spotting her walking on the beach with a flower in her hair.

Jonas popped the question after arriving in New Jersey on an overnight flight from a concert in Vancouver. "It was tough performing last night, knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world," he says.

And while the news is bound to break a lot of young girls' hearts, the Jonas family couldn't be happier.

"Our hearts are filled with joy today and we are happy to share with you that our son Kevin has asked Danielle for her hand in marriage," parents Denise and Kevin Jonas Sr. say in a statement to PEOPLE. "Her answer was yes, and it is such a blessing that she will be joining our family. Kevin and Danielle have not yet set a date. Family is very dear to us, and we hope we have raised Kevin to be a wonderful man and husband. Please join us in our family's celebration and in congratulating Kevin and Danielle. Thank you for all of your support."

And younger brothers Joe and Nick said on their Twitter page: "Congrats big brother.....Dani welcome to the family, we can't wait to have you join us on the road!"

Just last night, i had the awesome-st dream ever.

Even better than the previous dream that i posted.

This was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

I GOT ONE of JOE's RAY BANDS. ( in my dream)

Can't stop thinking about it since i woke up this morning.

But before the Awesome-st dream i had a TERRIBLE NIGHTMARE...

Then some video on Youtube sort of like ruined my morning.

But, at least he has the guts to do it.

I was like "OMG, what happened?!?!?!?"

> Full story will be told, if asked...

I admire his bravery, he was keeping a promise that he made to millions of people a few months ago...
