Last day of the month.
tuesday, i went to ms gina's teacher class at marine parade. had a totally new experience.. before that, there was dance in school till 6pm. then sort of prepared a while and went down like muscles aches a bit here a bit there. reached home about 1030pm. shall not elaborate about it just that i sweat. Ms June Lee said, "For every single lesson you attend regardless of what teacher, you are bound to improve and learn more new stuffs.", "No matter you are bleeding, hurting, lethargic, just hang on for the last 10minutes, have that strong mental mindset."
wednesday, didn't have music! yes. i am a happy girl on that day.
thursday, another training. More scary stuffs heard about the exams. here goes, the examiner, Ms Wu, *SLAMMED* the table and sent girls out during the exams. why did she SLAMMED? because the girls didn't know how to do free works [under the sun given ballet steps using ballet terms]. Thats how scary she is. Ms Gina said, "She is here not to pass you but to FAIL you. So don't even expect any good results." i couldn't agree more with her words.
Friday, well, teachers' day celebration, i could only say that i ran around the whole school before the concert started. the concert is nice anyway especially with ms pey and ms ng wearing school uniform [i have their picture.] immediately the celebration ended, i had to go to compass point to get Ms Gina's Present as we are having a surprise party for ms Gina at the evening. guess what, the present that i had in mind for Ms Gina turns out to be Out Of Stock. so i pleaded the store keepers. 1st girl - i guess she is new, so she keep saying that other branches also might not have the stock, and asked me to wait till next month. 2nd girl(Cashier) - i asked her to call Hougang, which also Out Of Stock. In desperation, i asked her, can you help me check some other branches have stock. and yes, vivo. so i had to take a train down and back up. i couldn't entertain myself because i didn't charge my phone the night before, and i tried to save for the tiny little battery in case of emergency.. as soon as i got home. started her present then making yummy sushi..
this gonna be a long post.
We started planning it when the day[23august] where Ms Gina suddenly cried which totally took all of us by surprise. She didn't tell us why she cried, and it was the first time i saw her crying in class. We made a video for her, which is uploaded in youtube (but i cant find it) hahas. then we tried to make her to get to the venue of party (Sherilyn's house). i guess a lot people will find it funny as in the reason we used. the reason was, Sherilyn sprained her ankle badly, As Ms Gina was with her boyfriend (he was supposedly not to be there but Yoshi forgotten about the event.) *Yoshi is her boyfriend*, she said she doesn't want to visit her like this, then Sharmain went the CC to tell Ms Gina, told her, SHE EVEN CRIED ON PHONE [Sherilyn never cries for such a small thing]. So ended up she had to visit Sherilyn as the next day we are dancing at the venue of examination studio. she actually fallen into our stupid trap. arriving at Sherilyn's house, they blindfolded her. and the party actually started (: everyone was her except rachel. Ms Gina was saying, she really believed the reason and CURSE, SCOLDED Sherilyn all the way from the CC until the venue. We had food, games and went home like 11pm? thanks to adeline's van ride. whee it was fun.
Saturday.
i hate the 1hour bus ride to Bukit Timah. i can say the venue really is ... desolated. the studio is damn small. and i didn't go for morning class because Ms Gina said that she wants me to focus on the rehearsal. i met Jerlene there as she was waiting for Jaime ballet class to end. after all the dancing. it was around 9.30pm. and took a cab home with my maid + we bought our dinner at 10+ at rivervale plaza =.=
Today.
morning had tution then today is the only day that i stayed for 4hours dancing at the CC non stop of RAD work. We had this pianist Mr Martin, which really brightens my day as he will be my pianist for that day rather than Mr Wong. Oh Yeah. but the radio and pianist really has a big difference in the key of music? cant really tell as everyone was so focus and real quiet, concentrated on the works. muscles really aches like hell now.. took another cab which makes 2nd time for this year. Ms Wu also SLAMMED the table again. as all the 4 girls in the exam couldn't handle her steps. and she STOOD UP, and scolded them "
HOW LONG DO YOU NEED FOR SUCH A SIMPLE EXERCISE! WORST, YET YOU ALL CAN'T DO! "
tomorrow the sec 3 dancers are going escape. yes!
and sorry for not posting photos. still tidying my computer files.

i am not in a good mood to be messed with now.
no comments for it. i appreciated those who tried to cheer me up, i'll get over and done with.
dance was sort of nothing. just a bunch of crazy people trying to tap out the rhythm. why don't we just get tap or character shoe? haha. my blisters resurfaced on my poor big toes again, just have to grin my teeth together through disinfection process then a plaster is placed on it to give a sense of assurance that it is over..
my weekends will be poof! because there is a sudden additional practices for ballet exams, which i think almost everyone in my class is desperate for!
25 Aug Sat, additional of 7pm to 9pm at Crown Centre of Bukit Timah (exam venue)
there is still dance in the morning and afternoon.
2 Sept at St Anthony's Canossian 1pm to unknown.
well there is still school dance. and maybe some outing. and i don't think i will have the time to shop. ahh, unable to check out stuffs.
i'll just stop here. and focus on those upcoming stuffs.

yesterday was just a very very bad day. it just like the misfortune went through the whole day.
however today is just being average. i just sprained a little on my left foot. maybe because i stressed too much on my left foot and i am limping my way through the house. is a good news that COMMON TEST IS OVER! yes bye test, SAY HELLO TO HOLIDAYS!!!
another good news is that we don't have to perform at all for the shanghai guest.
i will not be surprised by my results as i took the test too lightly, but i am disappointed of myself for not able to do the chemistry test and being so blur in physics test.
i am worried for the upcoming ballet exam. as miss gina said that we had the most anal examiner, worst pianist who can play by his mood. if we can pass, it would be a miracle. so imagine how bad it will be even without stepping into the room and straight away we will know how will the outcome be.
i was browsing through Japanese toys. well i am so addicted to doraemon, chip and dale and stitch. if my mum threw me in Japan, i might bring back tons of stitch and doraemon. unthinkable. maybe thats the reason why my mum doesn't want to go Japan. Hahas, i am just exaggerating it too much.
it just look like the one that mandy and zhiyu gave it to me last year. which i am still placing it beside my bed.
according to the web, this is the limited edition. seriously, is very cute. and i am very tempted to have it. limited edition = expensive.
look at the stitch!! ahhh just loved it. but i prefer those hug-able ones.
chip and dale(: cute squirrels aren't they?
okay i am really nuts. i know my mum will complain that i have a lot of it. just cant simply resist the candid shapes of those plushie

olympics is sure addictive. cant stop watching and get excited even isn't my own nation competiting.
Congratulation on wining a silver for table tennis. well, public holiday hope is being crashed by china. hahas. i doubt there will be even singapore had the gold medal.
had a hard time during ballet. 2 blisters broke out. as usual they are the watery ones. actually when i stepped into the studio, i started warm up and then carried on with the pointe. however, i think i over- exerted my legs by trying to do those pointe work in the center. when lessons start, i knew the blisters just attacked my mental and limited my physical movements. i thought that miss gina wouldn't be going through pointe, to my surprise, she did it and i suffered badly from it. 1st and 2nd set i was a bit struggling but the pain was bearable. until the 3rd and 4th set i couldn't even go onto my toes, and missed all my steps. to think back, who actually invented that girls have to go on pointe, and ridiculously standing on their toes? i yelled, screamed struggled with the pain as i tried to clean the blisters. at least 4 resting days for my toes being going ballet class again.
there isn't any time left. 9more lessons and judgement will be made. according to miss gina, we have the worst examiner and worst pianist(he plays with his mood, fast or slow isn't constant!). what other worst do i have? common test. i hate it.

Common test coming soon.... yet i don't have the sense of urgency. *slaps myself, screaming like a mad woman*
everyone is already in hiatus. i better too. which is i am spending the whole day studying. hopefully i will =.=
14august.
had a big blow. great, exams date are out. all along i had hoped that mine would be in mid or late september. but then, luck isn't by my side. i was considered the first few to be into the exams. 1st sept, 4 sept, 6sept,8 sept. and mine would be 9th sept. which is actually a nice day, and my maid joked about buying 4D. Date:09.09.08 Time: 0930h. being the first few are consider as the lab rats. so at least we can tell what the examiner expects and stuffs.
i am partnering up with another person which is bianca. so nice is that 14august was her birthday. well, ms gina expects us to be uniformed. mistakes must be also same, timing same, height of legs same, head positions same, body positions, and the list goes on. if one fails to do so, the weaker one will be marked down. yup and serious marked down. which i am totally freaked out.
15august.
nothing much really happens. just that the class hates mr goh so much for a single reason. the reason is: "He made us stay back for SSL, when he said on 14august that we don't need as he want to concentrate on 3D." actually i don't find it really bad, but just that my class loves to go home early. For the sake of CT, let's not blame him.
today.
early in the morning woke up and went for chemistry lessons. after chemistry, had to rush for ballet. i was totally late as always. aching hip joints because someone pushed it so hard untill i was so much in agony. but simply i was too tired to think, to talk, to scream. my mum got me blueberry cheese tart. is totally fabulous. love the crust, the cheese!!
taught the grade 4 class their own dance. really had a hard time. as it was during my break time, wanted to catch some sleep.
up next, the RAD class. it wasn't really torturous but really get into the whole freaking exam thing. well, we had to make our moves perfect and stuffs. walked on pointe for 5 rounds. blisters gone worst. had new shoes, and must adapt to it. sweat really a lot today, and totally cause aches to my poor legs. lastly had a good sleep in the evening, not realising that i ate my dinner like 8.30pm =.=
thats all, i will post the east coast trip after my common test. stop my nags here. tatas.

i went out with xuefang again. yes, both of our parents whined about it and started nagging at us for coming back home so late... well, i just said that we hardly have any chance to hang out together with each other.
my day started off with the screams from the television. whereby those weightlifters will "WHOOSH". i guess it gives them the strength to lift it, they looks so tiny yet could lift like 100kg!!! by the way, they are women from different countries [won by china]. then continued to watch the men gymnastics. it was totally fabulous. amazed by their flips, control and vault.
seriously i am tempted with food. yesterday, we ate macdonals fries, and mcflurry. then head off to ride the bike for 2hours. then went to parkway parade to shop and eat hawker. banmian, youtiao and auntie's anne pretzel.
today, head off to plaza singapura, shopped quite long. then had fried pork cutlet is nice(: headed to chinatown. ate roti prata with egg with cheese with hotdog and mayo. walked to the central[clarke quay] then initially wanted to head to marina bay to catch the fireworks but we were afraid just like last year, squeezed like hell. planned to head down to orchard, but we took the wrong side train and ended up walking at bugis. and we took the wrong train back =.= ended up changing at lavendar station. headed back to compass point to eat pizza hut. then finally with a bloated stomach of pizza, ice cream and calamari rings... it is a blessing that we are living in singapore.
last but not least....
Happy Birthday to SINGAPORE!!

a nice day to commemorate.
i think every single parent around the world are anxious to get their child to born on this day. and best is 8am. or 8.08am or 8pm, 8.08pm. not forgetting, couples also want to get married on this particular special day. is just that, 8 is a lucky number for the Chinese. Isn't it nice if your birth certificate or married certificate is state, date: 08.08.2008. time 8.08am and 08sec.
had a great day of relaxation after getting so stressed up the past few days.
went to east coast to cycle, xuefang's friend came in to join us and started crapping. ate at parkway parade. reach home at 11pm! had a lot of beach shots. however, we ended up lost in singapore while trying to get to east coast. shall elaborate the next post together with the photos.
the beach. a place where angers, unhappiness floats away together with the sea breeze. the only place to find wonderful and free music is from the sea. they serenade us with their crashing waves, together with repetition, they sound like an orchestra playing a symphony. just loved that place.Labels: beach, nice day, went out with xuefang

whee 4 more days to 08.08.08. and to Olympics. Hopefully Singapore can win back some medals.
it didn't start off well in the morning. i was freaked out, chaotic, packing my bag, almost causing my brother late for school, started off with bad hair. somehow i knew something bad is gonna to happen. this feeling isn't what i want. is weird that i took a while to get over my test results. one word atrocious results. *no comments for this* come on, common test 2 is in 2 weeks time. yes, 2 weeks. not going to enjoy singapore national day. but mugging myself and get into hiatus.
another mad haywire phenomenon just struck my house on the saturday, 2august. currently, my house is under half electrical rationing. the affected sockets are my computer, my older brother's computer, all the kitchen sockets. wondering why am i still blogging and msn? thankfully, my house has enough extension sockets. my brother linked the socket from the living room to his room, then another 2 link to the fridge and other appliances in the kitchen. but because limited extension sockets, it can't link to my computer!! argh. curses!!! if anyone require some info, i am sorry but to tell you, i can't access to my computer now. just have to wait for the super electrician to come and fix and SOLVE IT ASAP!!
jm, choonling, weiting stayed back together to learn the contemporary dance that the juniors are dancing tomorrow for the NC Talent Quest. i am so frustrated about my this poor little brain unable to carry to cheograph steps for them. i know is weird that i am not dancing yet i am frustrated. many said that it is like "not worth deal?" yeah i know that, but then again, as a senior i'll just have to help them. hopefully they don't disappoint me.
i only can say, physics might be the only subject that brightens up my day. today had a great good laugh at physics class. i just love physics.
i think that i will be changed to the back. and blocked by the tall people. congrats, and i will start falling asleep. no! no! NO! i don't want this to happen.
getting frustrated these few days as i didn't have a great weekend nor a good rest. so please bear with me. i'll survive it through.
typed long enough.
ballet& maths are the words that will trigger my frustrations. stop torturing me, these 2 words!!! did i mention i love physics?

let's backtracked until last week.
24 July
was ms pey, jasmine ang, shane birthday. yup 3 in a day. and i wasn't feeling well. and the fever virus had attacked and defended my defence!! i was defeated in this year. haha~~ my face was burning red colour. i only could see my ballet mates doing pointe works. i know it hurts but i want to do... there isn't much time left to the examination. why did i went school? because of the coordinate geometry test.
25July
i was pronounced to be paralysed on the bed. and i did. i could only make ah ah sound when i woke up. i was like a pig, keep sleeping throughout the whole day. it was totally terrible the night before. i couldn't sleep well as i felt like as if there were punches on my spine. i got better and went to watch ballet under the stars with shihui. it was nice. and her dad placed me at chinatown MRT as it was really late.
26July
had ballet. more rest.
27July
tution. ice training. ballet canceled.
28July - 30 July
28 - had to redo my 2nd titration. the sec 3 dancers had their mini concert in dance room.
was just another average day.
choon herself got so fret up when we were practicing our duet piece. people aimed at us with chopsticks and i was hit by it. instead of me getting so frustrated and starts to babble out those vulgarities, choon did =.= but not to those people but in front of me, and flooded her own tagboard when we having music lessons at level 4.
31July
the worst day of all. test didn't go well. ballet got a few scoldings. had been gloomy after since the amaths test.
today.
i hate miss rai. seriously i hate the style of her teaching. she is kind of irritating now. i woke up like early in the morning. 4.30am. and started to study study. study what? physics. my effort did pay off. after doing the physics test, i was jubilant. really. but i was very forgetful of not bring wallet. ended up i had to walk back home again.
theres more to go tomorrow.. common test coming soon. oh no!
