downtown east...

harlo.

downtown east.
coasta sands resort.
bbq.
wild wild wet.
escape.
swimming.
watching tv.
playing poker cards.
playing uno cards.
seeing sly. getting his autograph.
sleep.
beach games.
flour. dough. sand. sea.

that abt summarises the track n field sec 4 farewell camp at chalet. in downtown east. at coasta sands resort.

we were exploring the tv n the x box that was there. however, it doesn't play pirated stuff, vcds. it only plays original dvds, n even so, it needs some dvd compatible connecter n receiver thing. n so no movies.

thus we played card games. thx to the poker cards and uno cards i brought.

we had bbq on the first night. prepared items for sec4s. plus presents for them. our presents r lovely. they loved it. it's a hamper kind of thing. nicely wrapped n everything was hand-picked n chosen n argued over. haha.

then we heard that sly was here. we didn't believe it. thought it was some joke. then a senior showed us a picture of her n sly. we realised that it's true. sly was at downtown east. n so all the sec 1s, even the taufik fans, were running around looking for him.

eventually we found him at the entrance. signing some autographs. we went to the counter n asked for some paper n a pen. then we tore the paper up. n shared. n asked for the sutographs. we didn't haf cameras nor handphones wif us, so we couldn't take any pictures. that's on regret we had.

n then the taufik fans who aren't supposed to be so excited, were screaming n jumping n skipping n giggling all the way back to the chalet. quoted frm a particular sec 2 taufik fan aka leanne:

can u believe it??? can u believe it?????? we got sly's autograph!!!!!!! can u believe it?????????

the idea is somewhat there. i believe that they haf somewhat liked sly some more ever since. they were calling up their brothers n families exclaiming that they saw sly n got his autograph. n thus i called my bro too n told him i saw sly n described everything that happened that day.

finally went to sleep. some others[who alrd got sly's autograph] were discussing abt going to jurong point at 3am on sundae to get sly's n taufik's autograph.

the next day, a saturday, we were supposed to wake at 8am n go to the beach at 9, but we woke earlier at 7.30am. was all ready by 8.30am, but no sign of seniors [who were in the other room, n apparently sleeping soundly], so we played cards.until 9.30am, still no sign. so we continued. evemtually peered out n found out that they went to the foodcourt for breakfast.

yeah n all of us except for 3 others stayed in the room playing cards. n soon we went to the beach, which was dirty, full of litter [n had lots of green men picking up garbage], the sea is not nice, the sand not nice. i prefer the beaches at sentosa. haha. ok. then we played games. which was horrid.

we sat in a circle n everyone had to close their eyes. then one person was to walk around n paste some dough [which was flour mixed wif water] on someone. then both of them muz run one round n see who sits on the original seat first won't haf to continue. n so on.

moments later, everyone is splattered wif gooey dough n flour was thrown over us. then we went over to the sea, n the sec 4s were dumped into the sea by the sec 3s. we were told that the sec 1s were safe n won't be dumped in, but alas!

we were caught unexpected n the sec 3s ran over n pushed eileen n i in! grrr. while andrea n wei lin ran away. we scrubbed the dough off in the meantime n decided it wasn't that bad after all. then we decided to push andrea n wei lin in too. so we chased after them n pulled them into the sea! haaa. n we cleaned the dough off our shirts.

then we couldn't possibly walked in our shoes bcos we will dirty them, so we walked all the way back to our chalet barefooted n dripping wet. imagine passer-bys' reactions. sigh. then we oso had to pass through the barrier too. how embarrassing.

then we went into our room n we ranted n complained how lucky the three who stayed in the room were. then we showered together wif our clothes still on, n helped each other pick bits n pieces of dough off our shirts. n andrea's hair was scattered wif its of dough lor. her condition was the worst.

n we hated all that dough! how long did we spend scrubbing those dough n picking them our? the dumping in the sea was fine, but the dough???

andrea bathed first, so eileen n i went to the swimming pool's toilets to bathe. then we were done in a jiffy, n others were still dripping wet n dirty n waiting to use the toilets. hahaa. the cleaning up was terrible.

after that we played cards while waiting for others to bathe, n ate apples [we were hungry]. then we went kfc for lunch n we shared. haha. then we went back n played more cards while waiting for our food to digest somewhat, then we went to escape to play!

it was fun, n the 360 degrees revolutionary ride was the scariest! we were in separate seats which are in a circle, n one side moved higher n the other moved lower until it's almost perpendicular to the ground, still spinning. n i was holding on so tightly n hoping my specs, my slippers, my watch, n myself won't fall off!

we were practically upside down n then right side up again n then upside down again! but i wasn't screaming. i was muttering to myself, somewhat comforting myself. haa. then i heard a coin falling frm someone's seat. i thought it was gone, but juz as i turned upside down n plunging to the ground [to rise up again] the coin hit my head n bounced off to my fren's seat next to me. haha. that was funny.

after the ride stopped, my hands were so tight around the bars that there was a red line n my palms were sweaty. haha. we oso took some teacup ride, which was equally scary, except u didn't haf to worry abt ur shoes falling off. :)

n there was the viking ship, which makes u feel like u keep plunging downwards,
n the alpha 8, which was the indoor roller coster n it was rather dark n i kept bumping the the sides,
n the rainbow ride, which brought u high up into the sky n was really fun,
n there was the wet n wild ride, where u r in a canoe wif one or two other frens floating along a water path n then u will go up then slide down n splash! into the water. n be drenched through. haha that was fun.
n the go-kart drivers haf to be at least 18, so we couldn't play that, but there was another go-kart thing that we cld play, but the queue was too long, so we didn't try that.
n the ride where u lie next to ur fren on ur stomach n hold on to the bars in front, then the machine turns round n round rising higher into the air n u feel like u r flying. however we became very dizzy after that n felt nauseous. fortunately, that was the last ride we took, so it was ok.

there was some train ride for little kids, so we didn't take that,
there was some floating on the water thing n u shoot water at each other, we didn't take that,
there was some aeroplane thingy that went round n round, we didn't take that,
there was the ferris wheel which was like cable cars in a wheel n it moved sooooooooooo slowly n it's more for enjoying the scenery so we didn't take that either.

yep. then we went to wild wild wet. it was so fun! although there aren't much rides. n i saw shirl there u noe! wad a coincidence lor. her cousin was dragging her along n her sister was following behind her. haha. i could recognise her even wif her braces lor. haaaaaaaaaa.

anw, andrea, eileen n i took the ular lah, it was a big round plasticky-rubbery inflatable "raft" for abt 8 ppl. we slid down the big blue slide bumping here n there n eventually landing in the water.

there was a purple slide that was verrrrrrrrrry dark, so dark that one really can't see ur five fingers, u can't see a thing, n all u can do is lie back n slide all the way down the tube-like slide. eventually u see reflections of light n splash! u land in a pool.

the other slide which was yellow was open-air, juz like the ular lah one, n it wasn't so scary, but it was still fun.

then we tried some sliding up n down thing. the instructors were guys, n they were so pervertic lor! n they kept teasing us. crap. n they refused to tell us how to sit on that weird inflatable thingy. n after some time then tell us.

anw, we slid down the verrrrrry steep slope n came up the other side, then slide down back to the other side again, then slide up again, n down again, that kind of thing yeah?

then there was this wave pool that goes in a circle around the playground. we went along wif the tide n waves n was running or jogging n walking n some others were swimming then we went one round then entered the playground.

it has many slides n it has many ropes. u pull the ropes, some pour water down on u, or shoot water to ur fren n so on, then there was water spouting out frm the playground so it was like raining, then u climb here n there n many slides n that's abt it.

oh n there was the sky rider. it's like two bicycles together n is for two ppl to ride it on the railing above the wild wild wet grounds n pool lah. so it was very scary like u will fall off any moment, esp for ppl who are scared of heights like me. thought wasn't so dangerous mah, but turned out so scary lor. but fortunately, i survived. haaaa.

after that, we left bcos the place was closing [at 8pm]. andrea went back to shower, while eileen n i went to the chalet swimming pool to swim around. i was learning how to swim [btw for ppl who dunno i can't really swim] n i realised i cld somewhat tread water n somewhat swim breast-stroke[bcos my eileen is not a free-styler, so she didn't want to teach me free-style or back-stroke too] but i cldn't come up for breath properly lor n i kept sinking no matter how i kick my body start to move vertical then cannot swim properly. weird lor.

but i heard beginners r supposed to learn free-style first. crap. haha. then we showered n went back for dinner. n tv. the next day,sundae was last dae, we were supposed to wake at 6am n go to haf breakfast at the beach at 6.30sm, but no one bothered to wake to early, so it was kindof cancelled. n the games were cancelled too.

oh n everyone except for andrea, eileen n i stayed. most of them went to jurong point for taufik n sly's autograph, then went home. some went straight home. so the three of us shared the king size bed. haha!

we ate breakfast n packed up n played cards n watched tv [some movie abt underage ppl drinking alcohol n smallville] then we checked out n left the chalet. wif some time left to spare, we went to arcade to play, but bcos we didn't want to spend so much money [we spent $5 in juz minutes!] so we didn't play anymore.

n was hanging around that area for 10 min. then andrea waited for her father to pick her up, while eileen n i took a bus to pasir ris mrt. we went to the library at white sands [some shopping centre next to the mrt] n then ate lunch.

then we took the mrt home [lugging all those heavy camp stuff, clothes n so on. poor us. esp i live in the "west" at bukit batok there. opposite side of the line lor. sadddddddd.] eileen lived at tampines, so it's so close. she was to watch the incredibles wif her bro, n he is treating her! not fair! my bro doesn't treat me to movies! -wail-

that's the end of our camp there. it was enjoyable n fun. n for those ppl who has not fallen asleep reading so much, thx for ur patience. :)

all e best n haf fun this hols! im looking forward to my next trip...overseas! im leaving on 7th dec, n coming back on 14th, so dun miss me! ;D

went out...

harlo.

i had track training todae =p n it was so tiring lor. haha. but afterwards me went out wif ca n ale. we went to watch princess diaries II at cathay cineleisure.

we went orchard n i learnt where heeren n cathay cineleisure is, thanks to ca. [n maybe ale. haha.] but mostly bcos of me, who has tried to clarify the positions of the hotel, heeren n cineleisure visualising the various places. hahaha. :)

we took neoprints, which was ex [to me lah, i never spend more than $10 a day last time u noe!] n we watched p.d.II. n ate popcorn n nachos[wif plenty of cheese Xp] n coke.

n ca happily dumped one big handful of popcorn into the cheese gravy. yeah n who has to finish that gooey popcorn cheesy mixture? me. poor pitiful me who has to suffer n gulp that too saltish gooey sticky popcorn down. sigh. haha.

Princess diaries II is not bad lah, but it's not as nice as the first movie, i think. the first one is more to our age n funnier. haha.

after the movie we went basement of ngee ann city to eat sme weird octo-balls. i ate bacon n cheese balls, n the onion looked like live tentacles waving around! i think it's when it is hot it will move around i can't be bothered to remember wad scientific rule it was.

ca suggested convection currents, n ale suggested our breath. but it's so horrifying lor. imagine ur food is waving around as though it is alive n kicking! ok maybe not so exaggerated, but still, it's terrifying. haha.

n then we went kinokuniya n wandered about in circles browsing through books n discussing abt the books we read n stuff. oh n i promised to lend ca n ale my mov book [aka the precious notes in them] since they r studying it for next yr.

but juz to let u noe ca n ale, my mov book is mostly crap lah ok. n it's not much that can help u i think. bcos i wasn't so diligent in copying so much notes n neither was my whole class. bcos our lit lesson is really boring lor. [no offence to ca, but our lit teacher, yes the one who rides the harley davidson, is really boring droning on and on. makes us sleepy in the air-coned classroom u noe. hee.]

then we went to mcdonald's n nice ale -patpat- treated us to 25cent ice-creams! haha. n we were swapping our neoprints n ca had a hard time n took a longgggg time choosing which neoprints she want to swap wif me.

she was like "i want this, but i oso want that!" n so she can't make up her mind. n due to lack of scissors, we couldn't juz cut the neoprints out. so yeah. haha.

eventually, ca headed home in the mrt, n ale n i took the bus together. we had a niceeeeee long talk involving various ppl who had made a footprint in the path of our lives =P n we had a great time, didn't we, ale? hee.

oh well. im satisfied. except for the speech of the evilness of cookees. ale! finish ur last two points, point 5 n 6! n dun worry, i wun let out abt u-noe-wad, nor tell u-noe-who, so trust me. haha.

n lastly, me really into jap recently. due to my introduction to jap drama serials [wif english/chinese subtitles] n influence frm my bro. he downloaded all those jap stuff lor, n i learnt so much jap! hee.

todae i had a great time wif u all, ca n ale. juz a pity that shirl isn't here todae. n ur parents actually went n watched wif u????? so goodddddddd! -wail- nvm. i haf enjoyed myself a lot, n now i noe where
lido,
mcdonalds[at lido],
far east plaza,
heeren [hmv + marche],
cathay cineleisure,
hotel me-smething-smething-dian [haha],
n probably ngee ann city, taka, wistma atria, suntec city is.

oh wad an achievement it is! lalala. ok that's all for todae. happy holidaes everyone! [bonne vacances tout le monde! =)]

continuation to previous post...

harlo.

uh...i realised i didn't really put up a summary of my eoy scores here, so here i am posting it here b4 i forget. ok here goes...[n really, they r not that good at all. =p]

EOY
GPA: 3.65
Average: 76.63
English: 70 [3.6~A]
Mathematics: 87 [4.0~A+]
Geography: 70 [3.6~A]
History: 67 [3.2~B+]
English Literature: 76 [3.6~A]
Lower Secondary Science: 83 [4.0~A+]
Higher Chinese Language: 68 [3.2~B+]
French: 92 [4.0~A+]

that's 2B+s, 3As, and 3A+s. not bad, but i think i should try not to get any B+s at all next year. my chinese and maths deproved from semester one, but the other subjects alllll improved! so that's good. and my gpa score is higher than the 3.5 one in semester one! lalala...

yeah that's abt it. n i realise neopets is real fun. someone actually bought my halloween goodie bags!!! i set the price as 5000np on that day itself n no one wanted it bcos the prices kept going down.

but now that there r no more goodie bags to be found, only could be bought, mine r the cheapest. the price was going up to 10000np! gosh. shd haf sold them for more. didn't think they could be sold anw, such a surprise!

n poof. im 15000np richer! im sooooooo happy! i feel so rich. nv had so much np b4! lalala. ok crap.

i want to watch princess diaries II! n shark tale, despite qw saying that it's not worth the money, it's very lame n too short, only 1 hour plus for 8 whole dollars. haha.

no offence meant to u, ca. but i realised that recently ca seems to be rather acted up with some ppl frm her class. sometimes i juz wish that ppl would be friends and dun be enemies at all, but i guess that's not possible for those who r unwilling to.

oh well, juz hope that things wun become worse n they wun start harming each other. u noe, verbal attack is juz as bad or worse than a physical one. im sure her enemies wld feel really hurt after seeing all that she wrote in her blog.

still, i haf no right to advice her on that. it's her choice n freedom of speech.

enough of blogging. me go watch tv. n play neopets. n read my books. all e best ppl.

fun and play...

harlo.

im in the mood for blogging todae, so here i am. n yet wad shd i blog abt? fine im not making sense. ok, let me tell u abt...

ice-skating. last wednesday i went ice-skating at jurong east, fuji ice palace. it was student's day every wed, so it's cheaper. hee.

n it was fun! despite the many falls, it was an interesting experience. n i smehow managed to move around veryyyyy slowly without holding on to anything n not falling.

n my legs r all aching frm trying to keep my feet upright n on the middle of the boots rather than wavering on that thin piece of metal under the boots. yikes.

oh well. the next morning my whole body was aching. my arms, my legs, my hands, even my stomach! [frm all that bending forward stuff]

fine. well, it's still worth it. i can't wait to go there again n polish up my horrible ice-skating skills! =P

eoy results r out...

yep. my eoy results r out. now for an analysis of it.

english.
well. my paper one is quite unexpectedly high. bcos i decided to change my style of writing frm the usual primary-schoolish-boring-not-very-creative "it was a beautiful Sunday morning" to a more creative n original n non-memorised n secondary-schoolish style of writing. there. haha. n i made up all sort of weird metaphors n similes n stuff. haha. so it's totally original. n i got 26/30 for it.
my paper 2 is not bad. i got higher than usual for it. my usual is like 25/40 to 27/40. n this time i got 28/40. though it's not exceptionally good, it's good enough for me. so my total is 54/70 for it. not bad at all. :) i forgot my oral marks, but apparently, i remebered that it was very good n everyone was complaining how come i had such good marks. so im satisfied wif my english eoy.

chinese.
paper 1 was bad. for my ying yong wen i got 12/20, which isn't very good, n for my compo i got 41/70. which isn't good either.so for paper 1 i got 53/90. like crap it's so good bad. =p
paper 2 was not much better off. i was hoping for 70smething upon 100, n it ended up that i haf 70smething upon 110. yeah great. so i had like 60smething upon 100. still, it was amazing that for the first section which is filling in the blanks due to the context wif no hanyupinyin i got 3/12. bcos juz so happened i didn't remb learning that part. while the second section was hanyupinyin n filling in the blanks too, n i got 23/24. bcos i remb studying those words n so rmb almost all of them. so that's weird.
oral was better. not as disappointng. got 17.5/20. :D lalala. overall 145.5/220. sigh. hope my overall results in report book will turn out ok. XP i really need to buck up loads on chinese. it's getting worse by the day!

history.
this is ok. despite lack of time n rushing through the whole paper, i got 16/20 for first section source-based, while second section structured qns 14/20. for first section i haf 17 at first lor, then dunno y the teacher minused one mark afterwards. :( n so i get 30/40. which is like 75% exactly. fortunately, yanyee n i were memorising the decline of indus valley stuff, which happened to come out! hee. wonder wad kind of overall marks for the yr i will get...i haf to improve more on my history!

geography.
it was badly done. so atrociously done. all crap n nonsense.
section a: 7/10
section b: 5/10
section c: 26.5/35
section b was mainly on world map n i didn't go n memorise the whole world map where the volcanoes r n stuff. n so, it was not good. section a mostly rocks n stuff that turned out drastically wrong. section c was worse. like the stuff i memorised became poof! n i ended up making up answers frm bits n pieces of my memory. n it became wry. so altogether, it's 38.5/55. ok, maybe it's not that bad. but im sure it could be better, right? muz improve this too.

maths
as for this one. im so damn angry wif myself for this one!!! i could haf gotten full marks if i had checked moreeee carefully n not make that operation mistake! n forgot to further simplify it! n thus, i got 3 marks gone. -wail- my full marks!!!! so i haf 47/50. this is horrible! nvm. wad's done is done. no use crying over spilt milk. better keep up this good work.

biology.
horrid. careless mistakes. horrid. terrible. grr. my physics n chemistry earlier on was better, i think. oh well. i wun say how much i got for it. im too embarrassed. but dun worry, i didn't fail. got above 20. =P

french.
ode to french! j'aime le francais! it practically lifted my gpa [grade point average] score! i mean, my end-of yr score was 92, n it's 4.0 gp. n so, it my gpa is 3.65, same as blawsie's.

i was wondering how come i got the same gpa score as her, bcos her english is better, her chinese is better, her science is better, most prob her hist and geog r better, our maths r abt the same. now i noe y. it's bcos of my french! hee. oh gosh, im falling deeper n deeper in love wif french by the day! =P

juz had speech and drama nite on fridae night. it was so nice! i love 113's play! n olivia ho, who was acting as the main character, was so...different frm her own character!

it's so surprising to see her, who is a shy n quiet girl, who excels in her studies, act as a cool bimbotic n sexy girl! haha. but it was really a nice storyline, n i like 111's n 109's. their plays are interesting, n 102's cute! esp xin er was acting in it! heee.

n the sec 2's r more difficult to do, bcos it's choral speaking, so it's more difficult to get the words to rhyme n make ur play interesting as well. oh well. that's next yr for us, i guess.

n i like the romancing singapore play bcos it's so creative n original! as well as 206's, juz sad that their's r not the top 4 finalists. sigh. oh well. enough crapping alrd. off to play neopets! there r so many trick or treats spots! happy halloween everyone! cya...

eoys r over at last...

harlo.

so sorry i didn't blog for such a long time! longest record of not blogging for so long! haha. now im off hiatus again, n due to popular demand,*winks at a certain somebody out there* i decided to blog again today! hee.

im so happy! my eoys r over at last! im going to play n haf fun n rd books, books n more books!!!!!

oh well. the eoys r ok, i suppose. i think i will do quite badly for sme subjects. english was ok, not too difficult i suppose, but still quite challenging. chinese was really difficult ok, but i think i managed to cope. hopefully.

as for history, there was not enough time! 1hr 30min for us to do 8 qns! 4 for source-based, 4 for structured qns. the last one was an essay, n i screwed it up. totally screwed up. gosh. n i had only 5 min left to do that essay. so imagine how crazy it was. k let's move on.

geog was oso not much time left to do last qn. oso an essay. abt 7-8 min left to write. so i wrote loads of crap n anything and everything i could think of. haha. n so it was rather horrid. n todae was maths. i was stuck at a qn for like 10 min at the factorisation part, then decided to move on.

the last qn the mean part i was trying hard to rmb how the mean of a distribution shd be like. i was giving myself examples on the rough paper n eventually it dawned on me. n i was happy. haha. then i went back to the qn that i was stuck at. n i eventually managed to get 60 n 70 to get a product of 4200.

but the prob is the operations didn't match! so i checked through my workings n indeed, there was a careless mistake wif the operation wrong! haha. so i managed to solve the qn correctly after all. :)

todae went to moelc for third lang for cheese-tasting session. there were 11 types of french cheese, n a few, abt 2-3 r ok. the rest r horrid! sme r awfully sour, or overly saltish, others terribly bitter, n making us feel like vomiting n we felt disgusted. n since we were provided wif french bread, which is limited so we muz eat it sparingly, n oso water which was limited, after each bite of cheese [esp horrible ones] i wld wash it down wif water n tore off the bread in desperation n gulped the bread. so that the taste of the cheese will be replaced by the bread's.

n we had great fun "yam seng"ing n xin er seemed to haf loads of laughing gas today. n her laughter is contagious, u noe. haha. it was so fun, despite the strong cheeses. n u noe smething? cheese is actually fermented milk. which meant it is rotten n partly decomposed milk. juz like wine is fermented "grape juice". ew.

n the last cheese was weird. it had dark green patches in it. n the cheese is supposed to contain the kind of mould that has penicillin. so it tasted bitter. n anibiotic type of taste. n looked n smelled disgusting too. but according to our teacher, if u drink red wine *muz be of good quality n not fake goods* n eat the cheese together, the cheese will haf sme kind of reaction wif the wine n turn sweet. gives a sweet sensation. that is so interesting. haha.

but another kind of cheese was nice! it has garlic in it n i spreaded it on my french bread n it tasted juz like garlic bread! it was so yummy! i think it was the best cheese there. then there was tartare, which has a little of the garlic taste too, but the cheese taste was stronger n it has a kind of sour taste. quite ok.

another one was a cheese which tasted like normal plain cheese, but it is extremely saltish n i need plenty of water. i thought i wld die of too much salinity in my taste buds or smething. the water didn't seem to help. haha.

there were plenty other cheese, but i will be nice n stop speaking "cheesy crap". haha. n i do not regret going for the cheese-tasting session, bcos now i noe how sme cheese taste like n can aviod it next time, n choose which cheese i shd eat in france. haha. after all, we learn through experience. haha. n my french teacher amazingly was claiming that the the cheese is nice. n she said that for every single one of the cheese. =.=" can't believe sme of the cheese is even nice to her! haha.

we oso got back our marks for our french end-of-yr exam. im amazed. at a certain section. which happens to be compo. i didn't expect to score so well! i mean, out of 15, i got 16! can u believe it? the teacher gave me full marks 15, n gave me another 1 bonus mark!!! it was so unexpected n surprising. i didn't noe wad i wrote was THAT gd.

oh n dun try to guess how many marks i got. im not going to tell u unless i want to let u noe. ha. so there.n cheer up everyone out there if ur marks r ever not good. u can always try to improve the next time. haha. ok enough alrd lah. there is too much i want to blog abt, but i wun bore u all to death wif my crap. :D

cya everyone, n enjoy! =P

stressed

harlo.

evilness. the evilness of orals.

i do not like orals. i do not like anything that involves meeting someone face-to-face for an exam wadsoever. i dun like orals, i dun like piano practical exams, i dun like anything that im alone in.

at least the upcoming dance test is not alone, but 4 pairs at a time. so yeah, quite fun! i love dance! cha cha is fun! i love it! and bcos we missed 2 lessons for our dance thingy, we had only two lessons b4 the dance exam. n we were the first class to learn the whole dance in juz two lessons! hurray! we r labeled "the miracle dancers"! hee...the dance exam is on this coming monday. sigh. but im sure it's fun fun fun!!!

sigh, as if the stress of having normal tests is not enough, here comes orals.

ahhhhhhh...my english oral went rather well. priscilla low rocks! i love her! she's all smiley and stuff, and her face somehow soothes my nerves. and she's SO pretty. bet she has a bf.

ok wad crap im talking abt. however, my sore throat chose to act up right at the moment while waiting for my oral, and i lost my voice and my voice became all hoarse and stuff.

for about an hour or so i went about wailing [as i tried in my hoarse voice] and complaining to my friends that i can't take my oral this way! n blah. but somehow, during my 8-min practise time for my oral outside, i had a violent coughing fit halfway-through my reading passage. and my voice became quite all right again. juz slightly hoarse. how fortunate i am.

tmr has chinese cheng yu kao cha 75-100. sigh. muz go mug later on. this sat is my french oral. im worried that the tch will ask about la famille or les amis.if the tch ask abt la vie quotidienne or les loisirs, im rather skilled at it and can understnad and memorise the stuff that i need to say alrd, but for la famille or les amis, im horrid! i take ages to understand the qns and to reply, and it's all wrong!!!

on next wed is our french final year exam. then we haf lessons on 22nd october, 27th, and 29th. that's all and that's the end of our french this yr. sighsighsigh. i'll miss my beloved mme pang! she's the best teacher in the school, and she teaches terrifically! next yr going to change teacher le. i'll miss mme pang...:_(

[n growing up =P] but smehow i dun want to grow too much, juz stay at sec 3-4 area can alrd. no more. but that's impossible. nvm. it's still a long way away, and im going to enjoy my teenage youth while i can! all the best everyone! cya!

oral tmr

harlo.

great.

my english oral is tmr, and as if im not worried enough abt my reading and picture convo, im losing my voice.

great.

what a wonderful time to haf this happen. u might as well lay me down to slp and i dun haf to take oral ever again. yay. im going to fail my oral. flunk it.

and bcos im the first one to go, everyone behind me will do better. comparison. how perfect everything is!

hate. hatehatehatehate. i hate everything. n i hate the word "hate" too.

iccs was ok. not too sunny. very windy. n not me who doesn't want blawsum to go onto the sand, but cheryl ng who wants us to. bcos no one else is doing the grass area. everyone is doing the beach area.

which is littered wif all sort of stuff, like underwear, shirts, wood, metals, sacks, fish nets, bottles, shampoo bottles, food[mouldy and decomposed], cream and sunlotion stuff, combs, spoons, forks, knifes, straws, diapers, tissue paper, shoes, anything imaginable.

and mind you, some are washed ashore. frm the sea. so they r soggy, and wet, and filled wif sand, and extremely heavy. yes.

of course, blawsum dun mind it. bcos it's not her who is picking the litter up. and not her lugging it along, or ever get to feel how "nice" it feels, or how "light" everything is. the shoe we found is alrd so heavy, and filled wif sand. and water. juz one shoe. n it's so darned heavy.

so i guess that's enough explanation, eh?

that's all for today. enough raving at the world out there. woe to those reading this now and having to stand all my crap.

this is my way to live

You're quite a daydreamer and can be a hopeless

You are Form 0, Phoenix: The Eternal.

"And The Phoenix's cycle had reached
zenith, so he consumed himself in fire. He
emerged from his own ashes, to be forever
immortal."

Some examples of the Phoenix Form are Quetzalcoatl
(Aztec), Shiva (Indian), and Ra-Atum
(Egyptian).
The Phoenix is associated with the concept of life,
the number 0, and the element of fire.
His sign is the eclipsed sun.

As a member of Form 0, you are a determined
individual. You tend to keep your sense of
optomism, even through tough times and have a
positive outlook on most situations. You have
a way of looking at going through life as a
journey that you can constantly learn from.
Phoenixes are the best friends to have because
they cheer people up easily.

aesthetics...

harlo.

thx ck! for saving my blog frm a state of total chaos to a wonderful perfection of excellence. haha.

now listening to the maksim cd that yy burnt for me.

rather nice. but a leetle too loud for me, and not really classical. perhaps neo-classical? well, i can barely hear maksim play. all those accompaniments blather. =P

todae started new aesthetics module.

music---recorder and
dance.

some ppl didn't bring recorders, so the teacher let us watch a video. some baroque-classical period video. wif the music of course. and the son of J.S.Bach in it. of course fictional. someone acted as him.

all those lords and ppl wear wigs. and everyday different wigs too. u noe those kind, curly kind of hair judges always wear? yep. that's it.

we are learning cha cha in the dance module. it's the mother of latin american dances. there are also, jives, pada double? [think spelt wrongly], eh...rumba/rhumba, and something else. and loads of other stuff.

like ballroom dances, street latin dances, and other kinds.

waltz, foxtrot, tango. mumba, salsa. smething like that.

anyway, the cha cha we learnt wasn't that bad. wasn't what we always think cha cha is like. and it's fun and nice! and i like the teacher! im going to give terrific remarks at he and she's going to teach us all again next yr!!!

oh well, there's the boy-part and girl-part. and we learnt the correct way for the boy to hold the girl's hand when dancing. hee...

and by the way, let me educate those boys out there. boys are to ASK POLITELY the permission to dance wif the girls, then OFFER their hands to the girls. yes. then the girls choose whether or not to dance wif them. yes. haha. going to educate anyone else who wants to be educated. aha. especially boys...

er hem. im going to enjoy myself. lalala...french tmr! i forgot loads, but nvm. our french EOY exams are 2 weeks later. and the oral is next saturday. like im so so so dead. Xp.

my english oral, fortunately, is next monday, not tmr, nor on friday. yay! dun haf to miss third lang. sighsighsigh.

bcos gr 8 is more difficult and is the most important exam. u can only go for diploma exam is u passed ur gr 8 exam, gr 1-7 doesn't matter, so yeah.

i dunno which lah. maybe the two yrs gr 8 thingy. maybe. then i can learn a few months gr 7 pieces but dun need to focus so much bcos dun haf exam, then can concentrate more on gr 8. sigh. ppl, give ur opinions leh [at the tagboard...hee]!

so sorry for not blogging for such a long time. and yy, so now i haf blogged. dun haf to threaten me lah. haha.

today is friday the thirteenth.

the unfortunate day. er hem. yes. n speaking of which, i had a horrible lunch today. was eating on the bus to MOELC for 3rd lang, and saw this black spider-like insect wif black and white legs. n suddenly it flew right past in front of me and my food. erm, i actually dunno if it's past or not, bcos i was convinced it dropped into my food, so i had no appetite to eat n felt like vomiting the whole way to MOELC.

but me, as the "no-wasting-food" person, forced myself to swallow those morsels of food that tasted worse than ever. the sauce is utterly gross, and the veggies, which i loved, tasted weird. n i was afraid there would be some spider-like insect there. n that was the worse school lunch i ever had. speaking of FRIDAY-THE-THIRTHEENTH-DAYS...

well, then passed the candles out to the ppl. n well, loads of unlucky stuff happened too, but well, think on the bright side and you will realise it could haf been much much WORSE! hmm, and supposed to go to the spook nite thingy at suntec wif ca, ale and shirl, but my mum bought tickets for a dinner smewhere, so i haf to go for that one. sigh. so sad. im so sorry carine, but i really can't go. im really really really really really really really sorry k? forgive me pleaseeeeeeeee. i noe u all will be disappointed, but really, please forgive me. :(

that's all for today. happy friday-the-thirteenth everyone...=P

national day celebration

harlo.

todae had national day celebration. we r supposed to wear red or/and white, wif culottes if u want, so i wore a white shirt wif red, and culottes. n it was very fun n memorable! we had fun n a rather ok view, and we sang national day songs, like [where i belong], [home], [chan mali chan], [stand up for singapore], [count on me ,singapore], and so on. haha. my class was the craziest. we jumped n bounced to every beat for the chorus, n made up all kinds of weird actions for different songs, n link arms n sway to the music, or run in a circle like a train, n we formed a circle n started singing so loudly, that im surprised not everyone was staring at our class. haha.

in primary school we were always embarrassed to clap our hands to the music or wave our hands around, but today i wasn't. i was proud to b part of my class and having fun. haha. bcos of one person's initiative to start off the actions, everyone started doing the action too. haha. n we didn't care abt wad other classes think. they r having fun too, n playing wif balloons. that were taken down, n everyone was throwing them around n bursting them. haha. it was fun! the most fun and interesting celebration of national day ever! haha. there were performances.

sec 1---top 3 classes of inter-class song-writing competition. our class didn't get in, haha. but it's ok. the 3 classes all haf sme sort of rap in it. hahaha.

sec 2---first class of inter-class skit competition. haha. was all abt a grp of students who do not appreciate singapore's cultures n stuff, then at the end realise how wonderful singapore is n blah. n concluded that we muz haf foreign talents to haf an even better singapore. pah. thought they were talking abt singaporeans very good? now become muz rely on foreign talents. :P

sec 3---top 3 classes of inter-class dance competition. was quite nice wif mixtures of diff music and dance. haha. like got malay dance mixed wif indian dance mixed wif modern dance mixed wif chinese music. n music oso diff lor. haha

sec 4---all the classes for fashion show competition. they had one person dressed up in wadeva way they want, n another to say wad each ornament represents. like "those spikes on her hat represents our esplanade" and "the transparent shawl represents our transparent government" or "those wonderful shoes represent our steady foundation of government" and abt the stars and chopsticks n so on. haha. some ppl looked over-dressed wif cans, newspaper, and the person hosting was like saying "how environmental frenly it is, juz like singapore". haha. very interesting.

n we haf a fancy drill too, wif our 4 uniform groups (girl guides, girl's brigade, red cross, and ncc), wif 4 members frm each marching in n marching around wif the mcs talking abt wad each grp represent in singapore and their importance. yep.

b4 that, we had the marching contingent wif the uniform grps ppl carrying the flag in n singing the national anthem . our school song too. wif the band playing. and our principal read the national day message by our acting minister of education, and a speech by one of our guests, who was a sportsperson n represented singapore n went to SEA games twice for squash. haha. he was more of talking abt himself and his life then national day, but still, it was very boring. haha. only the performances of the sec 1-4 classes r nice. n the singing. haha.

went to ava room to watch movie: lord of the rings--the return of the king. for any singapore currency coin. haha. brought 5 cents lor.haha. n watched. very nice n touching. n it was very cold inside, n was rubbing my hands while watching. haha. still, it was really nice. then ate lunch and went home. the whole school was so quiet and deserted by the time i went home, bcos they went home straight away after the celebration.

i was the only on watching at first, when a few more ppl came along. haha. i was so pitiful lor, wondering if there was a movie at all that day or not n then only one there, so scary. my psl told my class sme story abt the ava room. so i was sorta thinking abt it. haha. n the smell of paint is always so strong in there. maybe i am breathing in all the toxins and chemicals of paint while i was in there. haha. :P

well, dat is basically wad happened todae, and i hope next year's celebration will be as fun as this, or even better! all the best to everyone, and HAPPY 39TH BIRTHDAE, SINGAPORE!!!!!!

reached at abt 1pm. there were a group of tchs boys there alrd, in red. sme even had paint in their hair, red and yellow. they were cheering very loudly, but the problem is, there is no one there to hear them cheer, and it's more than 2 hours b4 the race begin! n the flag-bearers were running around the stadium, and they so bad one! they shouted siam lar! when they went past us. i mean, can't they be more civilised and at least sae excuse me? After all, we r girls! fine.

my fren was saying that the boys were cheering so that they could be heard, bcos they noe that later on, they won't be heard. haha. n their banners r nice. sji's r oso very nice. especially the flag-bearers. they were waving their flags, though not very synchronised, but it was quite nice. haha.

then, i wasa running around finding shirley, and i saw leena, qing yang and uma. haha. leena brought me to the tchs side to find anyone we know, but well, i saw only shi jun. and i realised everytime i see leena, i will see shi jun! like during cross-country competitions in feb/march, i saw leena 3 times. i oso saw shi jun 3 times, either b4 or after i saw leena. haha. maybe they r fated. ahahaha. C'est très intéressant! haha.

n shirley claims that she does not hope to see me, but when she did, she was so happy lor! she was like "Hi JOY!!!!!", all happy and very obviously delighted to see me, n still denies that she is. haha. too bad shirl, i noe u really miss me. haha.

when the race started, rgs was cheering very loud for ri and rjc, bcos they r oso rafflesian schools. i realised that they r no ri boys at all, while there r a handful of rjc boys. the boys r quite, erm, not-as-enthu-as-the-girls? we were cheering as though it was our sch, n when it was our sch, they weren't exactly enthusiastic abt it. yeah. the ri boys weren't there bcos they had long day that dae, so they would b arriving later.

when they finally arrive, which is like 1 hour after the race started, they didn't cheer for us lor! they didn't even cheer for their own sch, not too say other rafflesian schools! i dun even noe wad they r there for? they r juz making use of rgs's voices to cheer fot their own sch! where's the rafflesain spirit in them?

it drizzled, n everyone whipped out their umbrella. i took mine too, but thought it was juz a drizzle, so left it there. then i realised the teachers were using my umbrella! without my permission! but nvm, i dun need it anw. suddenly, it became such a heavy downpour that i can barely see anything, and everyone was screaming and scrambling for the nearest shelter, which is out of the stadium. i squeezed into dunno whose umbrella, i think it's francesca's, n was sharing it wif 6 ppl. haha.

6 ppl in an umbrella. i am alrd wet through, and the umbrella didn't really shelter well, so im all cold n wet n basically finding the rain fun. then i rmb that my bag is smewhere up there in the rain! so i rushed up n retrieved my bag and rushed to the shelter too. i realised both the teachers AND MY UMBRELLA WAS GONE!

my beloved yellow umbrella. sigh. i would rather shelter my bag wif my umbrella than shelter myself. all my worksheets in it was wet, and fullscap paper too! n torn too. sigh. then i was like drying them when i go home. haha. my handphone and calculator were wet as well.

n it was my first time in such a heavy rain! totally cool man! but when i became a flu-stricken, no voice, coughing-and-sneezing-and-bowing-my-nose mess the next day, i dun think it was DAT nice after all. n shirl said she was playing wif the rain, having fun wif it, n trying to collect rainwater in her bag. haha. she's a crazy one.

my throat was hurting wif every single sound i made, but when i was cheering, i forgot all abt my throat. after that, my throat hurt even more. haha. but i dun care lar. i knew i will b sick the next day, but i want to make the best of the day!

well, cedar was very loud, so loud that i carn even hear nygh, n tchs, the whole sch, i can oso barely hear them too. n i think the whole cedar sch was there, plus their alumni, frm njc and dunno wad jc. haha. even when we were in the shelter, we were cheering. *we means rgs, ri wasn't cheering. i saw THEM STANDING THERE, LOOKING EMBARRASSED TO EVEN OPEN THEIR PRECIOUS MOUTHS, TO HURT THEIR PRECIOUS THROATS, AS THOUGH GOLD WILL FALL OUT IF THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTHS!*

wadeva. unenthu ppl they r. well, n cedar was trying to compete wif us when we were cheering in the shelter. haha. n my favourite part was when rgs sang one of our very own songs. n everyone linked arms n were swaying together. haha. it was lovely.

then when we go out, the race started alrd. 4x100m c div girls. well, u all did ur best! it's ok whether u win or not, it's alrd good that u all got into finals! well done everyone! n when i saw poor abi wif her leg all bandaged up and still running 800m, i was like, wad is she doing there wif her leg hurt? in the end janice was accompanying her to finish the race, but still, katho did us all proud!!!!!

we were trying to maintain our 4th position for b div so that we can get a prize. if u r 5th, then u wun haf a prize. c div is very difficult to win alrd. i think that the b div do better bcos they had the very strict coach who pushes them very hard. although most of them ended up hurt smewhere when she was coaching them, they improved a lot n was better.

afterwards, we went down to wait for our turn to go out onto the track. all t n f ppl frm our sch was to go down, so there i was, worried that the floor will haf holes, bcos the tchs boys, who look like hooligans in a red shirt n yellow-n-red-dyed hair, plus painted faces, and they were banging their poles so hard on the floor! haha.

finally, we went out onto the track, which was significantly wet, n when we sat down, our shorts, which were finally dried frm the rain, became wet again. argh. n it was utterly disgusting. wet shorts sticking to ur legs. ew.

they were giving out prizes for the events, n we cheered when any rafflesian sch got a prize. oh, n rjc was champions for both girls AND boys a div! haha. hcjc isn't very good at t n f. haha. ri was, dunno where lar. haha. oh n rjc ppl dyed their hair green and white. haha. raffles colours. green, black and white.

then, we ran around the track wif the flag-bearer in front, and ended in front of our sch, n we sang the sch song. then ri and rjc sang their sch songs, then the ppl went off. t n f ppl were taking photos, and a poor ri boy was juz taking out his camera to take our photos when we decided that it was enough and went off. haha. poor thing. he was like, hey, i want to take photos! hey!

then we went to the west entrance, and i was grieving the loss of my umbrella. haha. we were standing around, waiting for our buses to arrive to go to plaza sing. swensen's for t n f dinner. yep. n we waited, n waited, n waited. no bus came.

smeone was like saying, "hi joy!" i turned n looked.

first thought was, who is he?

2nd thought. ri boy?

3rd thought. no. wearing red. n red band around head.

4th thought. frm tchs.

5th thought. who is he? do i noe him?

6th thought. did he call smeone else?

7th thought. wait. he's familiar. who is he...ohhhhhh he's hongsheng!

ah well. n finally i said hi to him. haha. my reaction very slow lar. n sorry for not recognising u. u seriously look weird wif a red band aroung ur head. hahaha. n wenwei was shouting LOSER at him n she was making an "L" wif her hand. haha.

in the end, yu shan,my captain told us that the bus is not coming. it has left or smething. n we had to go ourselves. n wad time was it? 8pm. n i wasn't even hungry. weird. then a small group of us sec 1s n 2 sec 4s went to take bus. waited 20 min. realised that we were the only rgs ppl there. the rest took taxi. so finally, around 8.50pm, we arrived. last ppl to arrive of course. n no space for us. so we shared chairs. n i was going to fall off the chair if not for my leg hooking around the leg of the chair. yeah. hanging on for dear life. haha.

didn't feel hungry, so was very full by the time i finished. it was very ex. spent $14.50 on dat measley little chicken. should haf asked for a salad or smething, like pat did. haha. yeah, handed up letter to my coach, mr tan, not jagong, ok? haha.

then, received a note frm my captain and long-dist captain. it was very heart-warming. *sniffsniff* they r leaving end of this year. although yu shan was very strict wif us, she is a very nice. really! sec 1s, dun be afraid of her lah. she's really nice! katho is also very nice! im going to miss the sec 4s.

altogether, t n f nationals is a very memorable event! love it! yar, i feel the pride and honour, and also the rafflesian spirit! look forward to next yr's t n f nationals! cross-country season next...haha...well done everyone! continue working hard! all of u haf da potential to b better!!!

track n field nationals...

harlo.

two days ago, tuesday, i went to support track and field national competition.

there was 1500m heats, b division. we thought no one frm our sch was running, so everyone was admiring the 2nd girl, who was very chio, frm singapore sports school (ssp) and runs very fast! but in the end, we suddenly saw this familiar girl who wears that familiar band around her head, and realised we didn't cheer for her! n we saw her right at the very end, 1 second b4 she ended her race! haha.

n when i say everyone, that means girls frm our sch's track n field who were supporting, mainly consisting of wenwei and leanne. i wasn't as serious a case as them, but seriously, she is very chio.

her name, as i found out, was Sophie Ngin Gollifer.

I think she is a eurasian. that's y she's very pretty, but she has dark hair, so she doesn't look too out.

n i put her name on google, and there were many articles abt her, ssp's website oso haf her. cool man!

n a girl frm rjc (whee!) broke a record for a division girls high jump. her name is Michelle Sng Suat Li.

the previous record was 1.66m, and she was attempting 1.68m, a new record, and it was announced over the microphone, so everyone's attention suddenly all focus on her. poor girl. she's so stressed!

but the 400m ppl were even more poor things. they were running when michelle was preparing herself, so hardly anyone was cheering for them as everyone was looking at Michelle. haha.

she made gestures with her hands, visualising how she shd run n jump up, frm which side, slant how much n blah. n maybe waiting for the wind to be in her favour? well, anyway, she jumped finally and at the first try, went over. everyone cheered and no one cheered for the poor 400m ppl.

leanne was whispering under her breath,"go michelle,go michelle" n she was so excited. haha. then michelle went on to attempt 1.72m.

again, she prepared herself for a long long time and at the third and last try, while everyone was holding their breaths, she went over. leanne was whispering the same thing when she was preparing herself. haha.

she went on to try 1.75m.

she tried first time, n it was very close! her body went over, but her bottom hit the pole. sigh. so close. then she tried n tried. guess she was tired alrd. so she didn't manage to go over. 3rd time, she didnt go over, everyone went awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

really! u can hear it. but still, she broke a record! 1.72m. cool. wonder if smeone else will ever break her record next yr.

then, for triple jump b division, our jumpers did their best. n one of them, xiao hui, broke a record. we didnt noe, but the jumps coach said that she did, bcos the jumps coach saw her jump very far, at least 11.smething metres, and when the officials went over to double-check, that means smeone has broken record.

yay! rgs jumper broke record!she was first, wif a result of 11.28m! yay!

n nygh was very gd too! their jumper, charmaine, broke record too, coming in 2nd, wif a result of 11.13m. cool, huh?

looks like girls broke more record this yr. but i guess boys haf alrd set very high records, while girls' r not so high. yepz.

gd luck to all who haf more events, especially chew min! n nicole n andrea n jane! haha. n pat n katho n abi n darrine n yu shan n janice n everyone else! plus all relay runners representing rgs! gd luck to all! do ur best!

well done xiao hui! n chew min (again)! u got into finals! whee! do ur best! lalala.

dat's all. but to all runners, i noe how nervous u feel b4 ur race. i noe how scared u feel n how stressed u r. but no matter how well u do or how badly u do, i will always be supporting u! juz do ur best, n i juz want u to noe that, u r not alone. we r all behind u all the way!!!!! :)

sad...saaaaaaddd....

harlo.

two days ago was my birthday. wished that i didnt haf my birthday at all. maybe, maybe, bcos i haf my birthday, something bad haf to happen in order to balance it out. I lost my wallet yesterday.

Actually, I typed a real long post, but it was all gone. but i dun care if i stay up till midnight to finish typing. im going to prove that im not going to be deterred by giving up on this post. im going to make good things come out of bad things.

There was money in my wallet, ezlink card, NLB library card, namecard, neoprint card, MOELC bus-pass(which we nv use), mini-calendar, sme discount card for BreadTalk, phonecard. so many important stuff. all gone.

the day b4 my birthday, friday, i had my event (3000m, yes, 3000m again) in the national track and field competition. I improved a lot, more than a minute, but it seems slow compared to other competitors' timings. They run so fast.

But i dun care. Im improving. n im going to continue improving, no matter how slow my timing may seem, it is my glory, my sense of achievement.

dat's all for today. im too sad to say anything much. im going to sit smewhere and reflect. think. alone. peacefully. quietly.

Hey, todae is sho special!

I was in the toilet, when my mum was exclaiming abt smething and my brother asked me where the binoculars are.

After coming out, i realised dat there are lights at the swimming pool, camera equipment, and a lot of ppl.

i guess dat ppl r acting n the cameras r rolling, cos i saw huang bi ren, and chen tai ming acting. they repeated over and over again. the very same action of walking to the other side. then chen shu cheng came out n went after them, and dat was repeated a lot of times too.

haha. my brother and my mum went down to see. and sme ppl were asking them for autographs as it is rare for tv actors to be here, at my very home! it was channel 8 making anoher drama serial, i guess. dat was so cool! famous actors and actresses right at my doorstep! first time! haha. but i didnt go down to look. i stayed upstairs n looked. and spotted my mum n brother. hehe. wif the aid of my binoculars.

in the meantime, i was on msn chatting and doing sme art. painting over n over again n it looks a mess. sho sloppy-like. but as mrs wee said b4 in my primary sch, ART IS NEVER WRONG, so i dun care. as long as i haf done my work can alraedi.

so there, and 4 more daes to my event in nats...n still counting...

harlo.

I think im the winner of the longest tag at the doodle board for aletheia's blog, bcos i copied n pasted one whole chunk of scolding complete wif vocabulary dat i dun even understand. nvm. n ck, hope u dun mind, cos i took it frm dat post which u took frm sme other website. yepz.

nationals coming soon...start countdown...5 more daes to go. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

ran 1200m ytd for training and our coach gave us a suggested timing of 100sec per round(400m)so 5 min for the whole 1200m. well, it seemed rather slow in the first round cos i run faster normally for 400m, but 2nd round was tiring n feeling like giving up n third round was simply sticking to my fren in front n NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER let go kind of thing, or else i would haf given up n ran slowly.

in the end, ran 5 min 2 sec.hmm...quite close. but so tired dat my legs were all wobbly n my body swaying as i walked off the track. dunno y, but spikes always give dat kind of effect. perhaps bcos i run faster in spikes, so i use more energy, so haf this effect. weird. did another 1200m again n was significantly slower bcos everyone was tired. but im still faster than 5 min 30 sec. not bad. not bad at all.

well, had 1st gym lesson in pe on fridae. did lots of stretching, n bcos i stretched properly and bcos of the training the dae b4, my arms n hemstrings n calfs n especially my back were aching WHEN i did the stretches. after the lesson, it didnt ache anymore. haha.

gym is quite fun, n it is oso a personal challenge (according to mr tan). wad control of movement n comcept of space, yeah, n we r going to do the bridge next lesson. but the main thing is im afraid of hurting myself or smething. soon we will do harder n harder things n do cartwheels n stuff. but dat is later. so i dun care for now.

wonder wad we r going to do in our next music n dance module...hmm...

we r studying shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice".

Act One
Scene One

Antonio In sooth I know not why I am so sad.
It wearies me; you say it wearies you -
But how I caught it, found it, or came by it,
What stuff 'tis made of, whereof it is born,
I am to learn;
And such a want-wit sadness makes of me
That I have much ado to know myself.

And so it goes on. haha.dat's juz the beginning. yeah, n there r 342 pages altogether. the above took up less than a quarter of the page. so u can imagine how much there is. yeah.

maybe u dunno who antonio is, or bassanio, or gratiano, or salerio, or solanio, or lorenzo, or leonardo, or launcelot gobbo, or old gobbo, or shylock, or jessica, or tubal, or portia, or nerissa, or prince of morroco, or prince of arragon, or balthasar, or stephano, or duke of venice is, but they r the characters. of course, there r magnificoes of venice, officers of court of justice, a gaoler, servants, musicians and attendants. yup. dat's abt it.

n i always thought the word "stuff" is used by modern ppl like us, but antonio used "stuff" up there in bold. haha. apparently shakespeare used it too. :D

n shirl!!! rmb to go for the concert on my birthdae!!! n pay me back $10!!!
