CHRISTmas

merry christmas everyone!

ms gan sent me an sms which read "christmas is more than gifts and parties. the birth of Jesus is the reason for the season.He brings us hope, joy, love and peace." that's so true ain't it?

As little children
We would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys
We knew we'd find

But we never realized
A baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives
We were the reason
That He gave His life

We were the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

As the years went by
We learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves
And what that means
On a dark and cloudy day
A man hung crying in the rain
All because of love, all because of love

I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him

He is my reason to live

sigh now this song has special meaning right? haha let's sign language to it, but the GB girls would probably glare at me. done it too many times already.

ah yes, i got a doggie! haha it's a schnauzer! it's one month old, a baby! it's like my christmas present, 2006 birthday present, 2006 christmas present, and part of my savings... or rather the WHOLE lot! ahhhhhh, so i guess i had better start saving again huh... but good news.. at least everything was below the expected 1,000 bucks. we had thought that the dog herself would be more than 1,000. YAY! =) her name is pebbles by the way... don't ask me why but it jsut popped into my mum's head! well it's better than wobbles right? haha i came up with that... and schnauz too, but sounds funny. i llove my long awaited doggie! =)

10th anniversary

on the 16th december 2005, 34th GB celebrated her 10th birthday!! it was well interesting... i can't remember much about it... only that avril and me stonned quite a bit as we were lonely people... it's sad that well, i mena it's supposed to be a memorable event but i can't quite remember anything that happened. well we sang songs, ate, old girls came back, saw seniors, but didn't really catch up with any of them... oh we ate LOTS of potato salad... it was GOOD! =) mrs. koh ate the most bacon bits i think... whenever avril and me pour too much, we would go opps and pass everything to her.... haha... bacon queen! =) i made nuggets and it's so sad! someone else did too, so i ate my owne nuggets... =(

yeah that's about it... but happy birthday 34th! =)

compliments of raq! =)




happy happy!!

1st to 13th December

Thailand Trip

there was a mission trip in thailand with 34th GB for 13 days, and i went with them. this was how it started. i arrived at the airport...LATE. half and hour late. gosh it was embarrassing. well that's what you get when you stay so far away from singapore's changi airport. even though i gave myself half hour allowance for the trip, i was still late! as quoted by the road sign, there was a "MASSIVE JAM". A normal jam wasn't enough, it had to be a MASSIVE jam. haha anyway, when i got there, was feeling pretty sleepy. i gave out all christmas presents, and then had to explain my hair cut.

"after annual camp, i was very sleepy, thus i leaned onto a bus stop sign and fell asleep. there was chewing gum on it, and therefore my hair was glued onto the pole. the gum refused to be removed from my head, and so a bold hair cut was needed to resurrect my hair"

okay i'm being a little dramatic here with my use of words but that's basically what happened. i believe it is against the law to "anyhow spit gum everywhere", but some people just don't get it into their thick skulls. their irresponsible actions cost people their hair you know. (but on the other hand, i shouldn't have been leaning onto the pole but ah what the heck haha)

okay we checked in our bags, and julie was kind stressed out but everything was sweet after that yeah? =) sam, aud and i sneaked off to have a quick, or rather huge bite of rojak, with compliments of sam's mum. thanks auntie, she's sweet isn't she? she even lent me a christian magazine to read during the trip. i love her! oh aud drank barley i think, while sam and i drank bird nest. (i don't know why but i seem to be able to remember the details of this day)

the plane ride was oh-my-gosh. our ears!!! they were so blocked. for my case, it wasn't that bad for as long as i kept swallowing my saliva, my ears would unblock themselves. but after a while, i couldn't very well drink so much water or salivate so much right? poor julie, nothing quite worked for her. i think it was painful. tried offering her a sweet but that was no better. anyway touch down! we landed in.............................................

CHIANG MAI

hee was so happy... we made our way to the orphanage, rainbow covenant, and settled there for the next 10 days. our mode of transport was an open air van or lorry or whatever it's called. haha so cool! the wind in our hair, the dust floating above our heads... ... ... well most of us ALWAYS sleep on the vehicle. haha, me included of course. anyway, each of us were attatched to a buddy, and my kid was suwisa! imagine, loisa, suwisa! haha love it! love her! i'm loving it. that was the best time of my trip. i played with her, spent time with her, and we even taught the kids there english. as my kid is eight, and is in pri. 1, she wasn't very fluent in her abc-s yet. so i started her off with those.

the first lesson, i went through her homework first. the words in her book were football, basketball, volleyball, swimming, skiing, tennis, table tennis, golf and baseball. she had a hard time differentiating between all of them, so i decided to do something every kid there loves to do. PLAY. haha so we played football, basketball and volleyball. we ran out of time so i just showed her an example of what the rest were like. well, good news, she remembered! and from then on, whenever we played those games, she would run to me and shout the name of the game to me! my did i feel like a proud sister. with a smile i would yall GOOD, and give her a hug. she always responded back with a greater hug and a sweet heart-warming smile. gosh i love her. (is this turning into a compo or what?)

well second lesson. i did not quite plan what to do with her, so i thank the Lord that he gave me an idea which worked very well, a little too well actually, but it was good. the abc song! suwisa seemed to know it well, so we made alphabats with our body. we both had great fun but i kinda had a body ache later. suwisa is no simple girl. usually we would be happy with an L formed with our two arms, but noooooo, suwisa had to use the WHOLE body. i had no choice but to contort my body to form various Es, Qs and worse Ms and Ws with her. i nearly split my pants while attempting a symmetrical X with her.

i have to admit one thing, the children are one extremely fit, healthy, strong and flexible lot. they can move their body in such a gracful manner you can only open your eyes wide in wonder, opening and closing your mouth at the almost inhuman way a 6 year old kid can shovel gravel. as part of doing God's work there, we were also present to help build a walkway for the orphanage there. while i was huffing and puffing over WEEDING, a kid 10 years my junior was actually using a shovel almost bigger than himself, and using all his might to shovel. and he did it, well! the prideful me decided to try it out too, and i nearly broke my back attempting to lift the shovel with the rocks on it. i had no choice but to humbly go back to my weeding and maybe help out with more pulling and stuff. we played soccer against the children too and it was so darn embarrassing! the kids there, my you have to marvel at their stamina. even with the ball rolling TOWARDS us, we just couldn't seem to run to the ball in time and yet, a kid 2 metres further from the ball then we are, could run up to it and snatch it away from our very own eyes. our clumsy feet could not kick the ball very well either. most of the time we kicked sand and the ball continued to lay on the ground, mocking us til a kid kicked it away before we have time to try again. once my shoe even went flying out. okay i admit, i used my hands a lot, but even with hands, chances given to us by our kids, and MUCH help from uncle steven (the volunteer helping out at the orphanage), we still kinda lost badly. haha it was fun though, but before the game was half through, many of us badly wanted to blow our whistles and whisper hoarsely for a break. nearing the end of the game, the kids were still tirelessly running all over the field literally playing the game by themselves, the singapore team from GB were wearily walking from one end of the field to another, in the hope then the ball would come to us on it's own. of course that never happened. we could not even attempt to get into the ball's radius of 1 metre. by the time the game was over, three-quaters of our team was flat down on the ground, waving an imaginary white flag. okay, so i was the only one. the rest were bravely plodding on. haha i was popped! no way was i going to move my butt from the grass. i was contented letting the ball roll anywhere, even into the net of my team, as long as i didn't have to run after it.

okay the third english lesson, i was sick! i have no idea what happened to me, but my body couldn't seem to keep in all my food. it insisted on throwing out everything. i was running a fever so miss gan kinda sponged me and rubbed something onto my stomach. heh... elisa took over the teaching for this session. thanks for helping me out! i missed the night safari too, was so disappointed but i really couldn't go anyway. had a splitting headache and the ride would have just made it worse. sigh.... but julie and elisa (i'm not sure if there are more involved but thanks too) were such sweet girls. they bought me an elephant purse! haha, with it's backside... but nvm, it is so cute! haha thanks guys! really appreciate it! =)

last english lesson. this was a serious one. i was determined to complete the whole abs with suwisa and ensure that she is confident of it. well success. she could identify every alphabat, even at random (although she had to think over the difficult ones), and she could even pronounce them correctly and beautifully. i was most pleased with her Ms and Ns. her pronounciation was clear and precise. the Lord has blessed her with wonderful speech. i was practically jumpng with joy at every alphabat said well! as my grin got bigger and bigger til i looked like a chesire cat, suwisa got mroe and more excited. i think she wanted to please me badly. good girl, i thought. she preservered on despite the many distractions around her. she got deterred quite often but was always pulled back by my "suwisa! listen and watch my mouth!" i did give her a reward later though! =)

all this while, we were doing up the walkway as much as we could, with some help from a tractor. had an interesting experience with that right girls? a little drama here and there, and a few pitiful and pathetic looks. haha. i'm sorry i wasn't of much help though. i was not allowed to be present in the actual shovelling and stuff as i was sick, but i hoped that the water i brought out for you guys was sufficient. i was praying too! =) and... God is good! the walkway was completed in time, and we even finished our banner too! with the help of the kids too, that piece of art was put up with joy and pride. sigh... extremely contented...

okay here comes the best part. singapore night! the night whereby we present all our gifts to the children and show them a little of our singapore culture. julie and i accompanied miss gan and miss lee to the market in the morning. the traffic in thailand is scary. there are no rules, no traffic lights, only lanes which vehicles sometimes do not follow. in the market it's worse! it's a narrow path and both moving vehicles AND humans have to squeeze together in order to keep moving. julie and i nearly went to heaven early 13 times. she counted with fear. haha. when we got back to the orphanage, the officers, with the help of our potential cooks from GB, made a scrumptious singaporean meal. everyone loved the sausage dish, but erm, we all kind of agree that the stew is well, quite similar to soup. haha, but nvm, it was a change from the rice and vegetables. not that i'm complaining but we're certainly not used to that for breakfast, lunch AND dinner. nevertheless, everything was eaten gratefully, except for a few hiccups. i enjoyed the passing of gifts the best. it pulled a string in me as i realised how fortunate we are here in singapore. we get the neccessaties in life easily, and we get fanciful stuff we want but not need too. many a time, we take things for granted, but there in rainbow convenant, there are children who are thankful for one set of second hand clothes that are neither fashionable nor even fit them. it made me feel a little shameful too, of the selfish way i demand for certain things in life. however, God had taken care and provided for them, for He loves the little children, all the children of the world. red and yellow black and white, all are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world. =)

oh ya, i nearly forgot. we gave the children a treat too! a buffet lunch at a grand hotel! my could they eat. imagine, all the things we eat so often in signapore, chocoltaes, strawberries, cakes, the children have never had a chance to eat them at all! suwisa for example, went for the strawberries and ice kachang, but poor kid, i had to stop her from eating too much as she had a cough. but even then, she still ate more food then me. second helpings went down in a flash, thirds and fourths. i had to put down my fork and spoons to run after her all the time to help her with the food! haha such a bundle of joy, boy do i miss her.

ah yes, and we visited the local school to teach english and have recreation yet again! i'm just so in love with the kids there! they're so well mannered and such adorable children! they was a language barrier, and the teachers were not exactly very fluent in english too, so translation was a bit rough. but finally the ideas got through and the kids actually had fun with games such as captains ball, and dog and done! inititally, everyone stared blankly at each other when numbers were called out (in thai btw, finally i can manage 1 to 10 in thai! applause!) in dog and bone, and it was fraustrating. but things have a way or working out and it got better and better! haha the staff there are really thoughtful too. on one of the days, i was running a high fever. it was so embarrassing, i was supposed to be teaching english and i landed up in their sickbay. haha fell straight asleep. when i returned to the school again the next day, the principal, i repeat, PRINCIPAL, asked me if i was sabai-sabai (relaxed, or well in english). i was told that whenever a student is unwell, the whole school knows about it and will pray in unity for that person. great isn't it?

we went to church with the children too. some of us helped out in the sunday school, but i was no involved. i stayed in the adult service. it was a good message about strengthening the church, but all of us were really tired so it was hard to stay focused. miss lee was very cute. the pastor had told us to turn to the book of acts and she was still looking at the book of john, which was the verse the pastor had told us to refer too like 3 verses ago! haha, she was blinking furiously... that's how tired she was... haha...

well, i prayed for the children there. some of the children have such sad stories. some are true orphans whose parents died when they were at such a young tender age. others have been abandoned, and some were even found roaming around by themselves at a temple! a few of the children's parents are in jail for drug trafficking too. life imprisonment it is said, the the rainbow covenant had to care for them. your heart can't help but go out to them. love is a universal language, miss gan told us. i pray that God's love and our own shined through us and bless them. makes you think twice right? whenever i see my parents now, i stop to think how fortunate i am to have such loving parents who care for me in their own unique way. sigh, i declare right here that i love my daddy and mummy, and i thank God from the bottom of my heart for them!

i love you daddy and mummy! thank you for everything! i could ask for no better parents! =)

Bangkok

now the last final 3 days of the trip. we went to bangkok to... yup you guessed it! SHOP! we stayed in the bangkok christian guest house. haha... it would be my first and last time shopping til i drop, literally. also my first and last time i buyan actual FULL BAG of things! it's not one of those small bags either, it's those medium sized bags. i surprised myself and my group haha. okay, so those things were gifts and stuff for my parents, but hey, it's not bad coming from louie, the one who rarely buys things, to the extent of never. haha... i got some tees too, haha, they were christmas presents from basia and julie... why? the tees did not fit them but fit me... -_- sigh... sad isn't it? but thanks guys... the thought was sweet! =) you realised something yet? all the tees are FREE SIZE!~thai people are so tiny... or skinny... haha... oh ya, i bought a mickey mouse tee too... actually it was a group thing. haha, aud's group bought elmo tees, and were the elmo gang. so my groups was the m and m gang! haha the mickey mouse gang! haha... the things we come up with. i spent most of my money on food... heh... couldn't resist the sausages. maybe that's how my stomache overturned. in total, i bought a pair of sandals originally for myself as my own were falling apart (doesn't fit me very well so i passed it on to my mum which it fits likes a glove, or shoe), a tissue packet pouch for mum again, bedroom slippers for mum yet again, and "dog shit"or "tampons" (it's actually pork/chicken floss compressed into a long form which looks like dog shit and such. that's what the thais call it. heh) for my mum again! my mum had a long "to-buy"list. we went to church again on sunday! it was really grand. took holy communion and all. it was my first time taking the bread chip with actual RED WINE. felt kinda drunk but maybe it was just my imagination. hospitality was at it's best there. we had lunch (spaghetti) and the libarian there even GAVE me a book when he saw me reading one with interest. he actually asked me to rent it, but i told him i was a visitor and would be going back to singapore soon. i would have no means to return the book if i rented it. when i walked outside, he ran after me with the book and told me that as i liked it so much, he'll give it to me and find a way to replace it. such a sweet man right? thank you Lord for such kind people in the world.

well that's about it i guess...this mission trip is my first and it was a great experience. i have learnt a lot from this trip and... i am so going to write a letter to my suwisa right now!

me and suwisa!! my kid! =) she loves to hold my hand... adorable sweet girl...

everyone at rainbow convenant! =) with banner too... the children helped to paint the rainbow!

din and don (siblings, not quite sure who is who)

wah these two arh, stressful piang! they've got such great stamina adn run like the wind! extremely playful and cheeky boys too! the one in green calls me "LOUEI LOUIE" all teh time for apparently no reason at all, and he gets a kick out of making me run and perspire as i chase after him for stealing my shoes, right from under my feet while i'm standing!

the purple one is slightly less active. SLIGHTLY i emphasize. his way is putting on this innocent face tehn charging with vengence towards his victim and starts tickling her without mercy. somehow all these children enjoy tickling each other and chasing each other through the house and into the fields. sigh... i feel tired just thinking about our race on the last day!

but they're lovely kids. i wish i could go back to tickle them back once again! =)

kan chit

haha he's a dear... kinda small for his age though. he's primary five, but a real playful boy. on the last day, he constantly crept up behind me to tickle, or rather POKE my ribs real hard, in the hopes that i'd run after him and take revenge. of course i did that, and we all screamed with laughter. he runs really fast. can you imagine, juliana, samantha AND me, with suwisa as our grand planner to trap him, took 10 minutes to catch him? wow!

natee and suwisa (siblings)

natee is cute!! he goes "heh heh heh" all the time and we can't help but errupt in splits of laughter all the time! haha heh heh heh

haha i'm bias towards suwisa... a wonderful angel she is... she can be very fierce although she is one of the younger ones in teh orphanage. she spoke to my defence many a time, and helped me out in settling down the older ones. fantastic eh? =)

yupin and kan chit (siblings)

really great kids... all very playful... yupin has a very sweet girly smile

the kids

we're on our way to the market nearby! haha

suwisa and tanya

sigh they're adorable little ones. suwisa's my kid, while tanya's julie's kid. haha one can't help cuddling them the minute you set eyes on their child-like faces... =) they're actually sitting on a home made hammock whichcannot, and i repeat CANNOT, fit both julie and me. we nearly fell off attempting it. it was just nice for suwisa and me, for tanya and julie though. haha... both of us together are too fat for the hammock. behind it as you can see, is a tree. there's a tree hosue on top but it's not very safe. the children there are very agile and they can actually scamper up trees in matter of seconds without aid. scary... when you see it with your own eyes

25th to 28th november

11th annual camp

gosh this was one tiring but satisfying camp. it felt like everything was run by my batch... aud and sam were oderlys for the first two days. julie and me were next. it was as if we never slept! haha we were groups leaders, as well as in charge for the day too. sam and i were in bugalow 13 while julie and aud were in bungalow 7 (aloha loyang) i was the camp nurse can... haha felt so weird... anyway..........................

25th - (aud orderly, sam assisstant orderly) went to school in the morning! had to access the sec 1 GB girls in drill... it was sam and my first time in really acting as drill instructors and accessing the girls. aud was the commander... haha really cute. i panicked at one point of time as i couldn't find my wallet. i was unsure if it was in my old house or new house! aud and sam actually accompanied me home to the old house to look for it, but to no avail. when i got back to school, i found the wallet in my camping bag. -_- fed up. i knew i packed it in but i don't know why i couldn't see it the first time round. sigh my eyes are going. oh ya, we had our bbq on the first day. haha pai seh, my group kinda made a rubbish fire but we were the first to finish up all our food! way to go diligence. we're diligent indeed! haha... okay can't quite remember what happened on the first day.

26th - (sam orderly, aud assisstant orderly) whoa i remember that this day was pretty hectic. sam was real busy adn we were afraid we couldn't wake up in the morning! haha... had to use ms lee's hp as an alarm. okay again can't remember details but devotion was great! and the speaker was good. he played games with us which helped to keep us a little awake. hee. aud was busy i think, so i helped sam out a little. teamwork yeah! =) if i'm not wrong, poor elisa had a bad fall during this day. it was quite bad, and liting and me had to run voer to do our nurse duties! had to use ice bags and all... sigh...

27th - (louie orderly, julie assisstant oderly) ohhhh MY DAY! i remember i was darn nervous for QT. i'm not very confident in leading it... so i think i discussed it with sam the night before. jumped out of bed in the morning for 5BX (morning exercise) but it felt as if i did not sleep a wink. sam and i were so scared we used as many hps alarms as we could plus the alrams of watches. haha worked though. julie was pretty busy with her kitchen work (quater mistress) so sam helped me out. love her so much. thanks sweetie! the speaker for that day was realy funny... as in she talked about marriage and kids and stuff. kinda far off but nonetheless, we sure learnt a lot about being a noble woman yeah? had an interesting recre game with straws. had to use a straw and suck paper, then bring it to across to the other side of the room. goodness, my team was so out of breath haha. basia was so cute! rebecca too! those two were the joy of the group. sun was my second i/c for group, so she took over the gorup for that day as i was busy with the day's events. she did a great job! love my sunshine! hee =) jolene had a very drama accident too right? thank goodness it was minor yeah, no problem =)

oh yeah, the special night event was on this day too! a royal ball! haha there was a royal fall too. poor rebecca nvm yeah? louie still loves you. everyone looked real grand that day. food was wonderful too! haha princessess! avril looked beautiful.... sigh... i wore this black blouse thing with a thai-looking long skirt (considering i was going to go to thailand), but i did not wear heels. so i looked real short. everyone else wore heels! the tall looked even taller!!! argh! kept tripping over my skirt too, and it was so hot! all of us were perspiring like luo tang ji! thank goodness for the ah ma fan the speaker of that day gave us. danced after that, and had this meaningless round of fun, but it was funny... =)

28th - (julie orderly, louie assisstantly orderly) oh gosh by this day, all of us were dying. we were pooped! haha... even with all the alarms and stuff, i very nearly forgot to wake up! haha, but when i did, whoa panicked! flew out of the door and blew my whistle... haha... it is quite funny now actually, thinking back about it... anyway, our last day of camp. we packed up, did all our area cleaning and headed back to the school. by then, i was talking a whole lot of gibberish so got my timing all mixed up when i was getting ready to go home. sigh embarrassing.

well, that's about it. when i came home had to unpack, wash and prepare for my thailand GB mission trip on the first december! sigh... busy busy kid...

23rd November

wow today was on eventful day! woke up at 7.30am... had to get ready to meet angel at 7.55... but then i was late. heh, my mum's pretty stressed out about the whole moving thing, so she's like super extremely grouchy. she was scolding me throughout the whole car trip about some bird shit on the car. i was kinda wondering what does bird shit has to do with me, as if i can control where the bird passes out it's motion... but nvm. it's jsut a moving phase... i HOPE....

okay then i met angel and boy was she hopping mad. but she was find later. i was late around 10 minutes... heh sorry... oh then we went for the JC talk... my, not too bad... haha thinking of going to a CI... am quite into the art stream. H2 subjects - english literature, geography, chemistry. H1 - mathematics... haha... not too bad eh? yeah, and we talked to mrs tan (libarian) for quite a while, she's really nice okay? yup, then we rushed, like seriously flew down to tampines mall to meet 4a for our class championship award, a pizza hut treat for all! =) hee very nice! haha, kim angel and i ate til we were stuffed! poor amelia was dying by the third slice. we all ate 4 slices each. oh yeah, and amelia looked so white! perhaps in contrast to our black class tee lar... haha but she looked so sweet... too sweet! haha

after this, i ran to meet julie and rebecca for our jab thing. in the end, we met sam at the interchange. we were 5 minutes early! haha, AND she was a minute late! haha finally sam is late. haha... then this hoi shek wah fed up. he supposedly waved to me at the mall but i did not see, adn then he called me and i was so confused. before i could say anything he said bye and hung up. i was just standing there with this question mark on my face... bleh... if and when i see him again, i'll personally pinch him til all his hair drop out.

next stop, changi general hospital. we had the jab for stomache upsets, in case we eat rubbish and our stomache explodes. hee... wah i didn't feel as nauseous as i did after the flu jab, but arh, wah teh arm is super super aching can... wah piang... like my arm is going to drop off... yeah that's about what i did today. busy huh...

the end

THE OS ARE OVER HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hee happy sha la la... so nice to be happy sha la la... haha wheeeeeeeeeee

make time for God!

I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work for bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done.
My soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry.
No time to give to souls in need ...
But, at last, the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord. I came, I stood with downcast eyes. For in his hands God held a book; It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down ...
But never found the time.

kinda sad huh... so there... we must always put God first in everything and make time for Him! lalala =)

ooo we're going for a flu jab! don't like... haha... sigh gthe girls are going next week, but the sec 4s still have our exams on! i have to get hold of aud and sam to find out free dates, then get back to ms gan so we can poke poke for flu... =( don't like... but it's a must i guess... sigh... yuck

nursery rhymes? haha

okay i found this old book on nursery rhymes.. haha... well here goes

The Farm
"Bow-wow," says the dog,
"Mew, mew, " says the cat,
"Grunt, grunt," goes the hog,
And "Squeak," goes the rat.
"Tu-whu," says the owl,
"Caw, caw," says the crow,
"Quack, quack," says the duck,
And what cuckoos say you know.

The Caterpillar
Brown and furry
Caterpillar in a hurry
Take your walk
To the shady leaf, or stalk,
Or what not,
Which may be the chosen spot.
No toad spy you,
Hovering bird of prey pass by you,
Spin and die,
To live again a butterfly.

Little Lamb
A motherless soft lambskin
Alone upon a hill;
No mother's fleexe to shelter him
And wrap him from the cold.
I'll run to him and comfort him,
I'll fetch him, that i will;
I'll care for him and feed him
Until he's strong and bold.

yeah yeah i know, it's all to do with animals... that's why i like them! haha nursery rhymes can be pretty original and creative... i like the "one two buckle my shoe" that one.. too bad i don't know the full thing... when i remember or find it, i'll post it up here k? =)

itchy itchy again!!

i don't know what's wrong with me.. itchy-thy-tis, itchyphobia or something... after i feel like i've done enough studying.. i don't seem to believe in breaks anymore. it's like wah, study too much cannot stop. so i HAVE to do something... not just anything, but something USEFUL. haha so... i've decided to do a near impossible task.

tidy up my room PROPERLY

i never do it the proper way... tidying up to me is " as long as nothing can be seen, tidy lor..." yeah, clothes thrown crumpled into my wardrobe... bags and books stuffed into drawers... you know.. the works. as long as no one tries to open any cupboards of any sort, everything is compact.. EXTREMELY compact. so NOW, good o louie is going to PACK things away nicely, cleanly and tidily. i stopped tidying up my room ever since prelims.. like 3 months ago? so all my books and papers plus files are stacked like twice the height of me? okay that's exaggerating... definitely up to my chin... you know.. thick books, PILES and PILES of worksheets... chem, lit and ss files are like breaking apart already, especially my humanities file. everything's kinda combined into one file, and oh my goodness, it's a ring file and it's bulging can... it's going to puff and huff any moment and then

wham bam alakazaima whoosh!

everything's going to come tumbling down and all the koh family, and all of louie's friends, couldn't put the file, back together again. (okay, a bit going out of point here... humpty dumpty rhyme... nvm)

kinda dumb tidying up my room at this time as it's just going to get messier again right? but seriously, i can't step anywhere without tripping over an eraser or slipping on a post it which, btw, are so non sticky that it's beginning to irk me. i mean come on, what do you buy post its for? to POST IT.. to STICK it.. and if they're going to drop off all the time, what's the point? defeats the purpose. i've resorted to using blue tack to stick the post it onto my paper.. which is very ridiculous i tell you

sorry i'm switching topic very quickly. my mind is running away too fast for me to comprehend anything. sometimes it annoys me as i get very confused and lost, as if i just had a wonderful thought and lost it! ah yes anyway, what i was trying to say was that i just remembered that the GB newsletter SHOULD have been given out already so YAY!!!! haha they had better keep a copy for me or i'll just yell into their hair. too busy to collect it from elisa though. can't wait for it! my pride and joy... ahhhh.... it's finally out! oooo my little sarah has all grown up! haha even though i have yet to see it, it must be good... i hope. nvm, thanks for putting in your best sarah cheong!! =) louie loves you! haha now how's the Notice Board coming along? haven't seen it myself quite some time. i used to glance at it every time i walk past it, arrive in school, exit out of school... but now i'm like a mad turkyy, always rushing here and there, i turn my head to look at the board but then i can't see anything. cannot register. and i kinda missed penelope's birthday so happy birthday sweetie! many happy returns of the day! =) oh ya, it was yun zhen's birthday too so i costly smsed her ( i over exceeded lar. teachers don't believe in calls. they like to sms and it's difficult to carry a conversation through sms! argh! ), and she can ask me who i am. sigh... that's so sad... usually i'd keep my seniors' numbers in my hp til i'm certain i'm never going to speak or talk to them again... sniff... nvm it's okay... i shall comfort myself in food... heh... been eating quite a bit too, but the day before the actual exam, i would lose my appetite all of a sudden. i think i'm balding.. my hair is dropping off... haha... i need a wig soon! =)

okay i'm off to bed. quite proud of myself again. managed to study 2.5 themes of ss today! tmr i shall complete the other 1.5 themes then it's math all the way! =) i shall have to read my lit text over and over and over and over over over over over over over again on monday. sigh... i love lit, but the story's kinda depressing isn't it? i mean in the midst of one's O LEVELS, one reads about suicide... the reader might actually comtemplate it you know. okay nonsense! louie shut your mind and trap. no morbid suggestions here. okay bed it is. my mind is running away again...........

ps: don't you think hospitals are well... too white for their own good? haven't you ever been to a clinic or a ward whereby everything, and i mean EVERYTHING is white? it's not those off white stuff, it's really purity white. from the window panes to the curtains to the bed to the bed sheets to the floor to the bathroom to the basins to the toilet bowl to the toilet paper to the walls..... even the pyjamas thing they pass you to wear is white. it's just so... dazzling white! it can give a patient a bigger headache you know? sometimes, when you stare at something that does not move, and it's all one colour, you feel like you're sinking into some empty space? ESPECIALLY if it's WHITE? wah dizzy... like you're just falling falling falling... into emptiness... into... nothing!!

imagine this.

you are bored. when you are on the bed, you can't do anything! the tv is so high you gotta strain your neck, and you can't read a book cause it's either too tiring to hold one up, it's inconvenient, or it's hard on your eyes. so what are you left with? scenery. beautiful scenery. panoramic view. unblocked view. rolling hills, lush greenery.... preferbly rabbits hopping around on the meadows right outside your window.... but NO! there isn't even a window! okay so there IS one, which faces a WHITE wall. you look up, down, left right, everything's white for goodness sake. everything BUT the darn television. sigh... maybe i should make a suggestion of repainting hospitals with various happier, less depressing colours. =) i might win the suggestion of the year! haha... nah one can always hope and dream right....? dream...... of little baby rabbits.... =)

2 more days to the week of extreme O levels

this is horrible... haha was feeling VERY itchy, so when i came home after studying ss and lit (we did a few essay questions which mr. rashidi marked, and he said they were okay!! haha we feel much better about our lit now. pray we can write just as well for the actual paper!) with angel in school, i was staring at my com decided, okay, shall reward myself a little bit... so ah well, here i am. after clearing my mail was was like totally full, there were around 180 junk mail and 50 over emails... nearly died.. in the end i became so lazy i just deleted all the mails which had "forward" on it... sigh... nvm. oh yeah, i saw the GB girls in school today! haha was studying in the canteen you see so was a bit annoyed at first when they were super noisy, but nah, i'm a nice person. haha nah... oh and i saw my julie and sunshine! haha i think sun wants the prom might more than i do! haha and she looked so strange, still ain't too sure about her fringe thing... haha. oh and i met jolene in the noon time to pass her my sec 1 + 2 lit books for her holiday assignment or something...

oh anyway, i became itchy again and decided to do little "i spy my little eye................." heh, so i browsed through pages and pages and pages pages pages pages pages of blogs.. and found some blogs of juniors! haha... shu wen was super fast reaction. i told her to link me, WHOA, so FAST i tell you link liao. michelle.. haha she was very cute. i teased her about hiding her blog. but she got the better of me. she pointed out the fact that i didn't exactly ask if she had one. sigh, everything always backfires on me. better plan my next move carefully. aha, then i re linked zhi yin... wanted to tag somethign but i couldn't find her tagboard. ahh then saw bao hui, penelope and vannessa's ones... oh and i realised something. i linked basia, adn she didn't link me. so i went to ka chiao her. ooo i love her blog! haha looks so cool! okay so i'm a sucker for green and dull colours... haha read that they're doing the christmas dancing thing.. haha was laughing away to myself and reminiscing about the red skirt. sigh okay that's about all i found. no more liao leh...

okay anyway, next monday is my e math paper 1 and social studies. someone murder me right now. ss is killing me. why couldn't they have offered pure lit...? huh huh huh?! okay nvm. louie can do it. must pray for the O level people okay? nerve wreaking one leh... hee... oh yeah, louie was sick too. sorry, that's why i slowed down on the blogging. i'd love to say it's because i was dutifully studying til i drop but nah... although i did revise quite a bit... to my standards... oh ya! i'm going to church on sunday! yay! =)

english as an A level subject?

i had a talk with mdm norhani today, and i was wondering if i'm actually competent enough to study english as an A level subject. it's literature really, but they call it english. funny.. anyway i became nervous when i heard that the students actually do ONE book a WEEK. i mean like, well! i guess i can read a book in a week and complete all my notes lar, but that's if i do ONLY literature? what about my other subjects? my brain will just go haywire and i'll get myopia or something. argh! and i don't like the idea of studying shakespeare... it's in old english for goodness sake.. all those thee thou art etc. "

"o romeo romeo wherefore art thou romeo? deny thy father, and refuse they name; or, if thou wilt not, be but sworm my love, and i'll no longer be a capulet"

or is it catapult? nvm

anyway, mrs. koh's explanation went something like that.

"why are you romeo?" (note: it's not where are you romeo)
and the deny part onwards is basically how juliet wants romeo to disown his family. she herself will give up her own name just to be with him. some love tragedy thing but my point is, it's so complicating!

"it is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden; Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be. Ere one can say it lightens. sweet, goodnight! This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, may prove a beauteous flower when next we meet"

and what about the stanza above? these are the only two quotes i actually memorised from the book. i hardly understand a word they're saying... but i seem to be more of an artsy person than sciency leh... anyone knows ANYTHING about the english course? fwah... should i even take it? i don't think i'm up for anything to do with science and math!

heelp!!

s'pore's rainy season

sigh... this is horrible season of the year... the Os are ever so near, and it's so cold! everyone's getting sick. it starts with the sore throat, the dry cough, and then the fever comes up, and of course right after that it's the running nose. used up like how many boxes of tissue paper already... sound nasal... haha husky... like that dog "husky"... nvm, out of point.

anyway i'm actually sending out a mail to my physics teacher now to request for some physics consultation since he kindly ignored my second sms. he's not free on sat... so i asked for monday but i guess he's real busy at home. ah well, he said he checks his mail everyday so i hope he tells me soon so i may plan my schedule. i want to control my schedule, and not to be controlled by events instead. cool eh? i woke up one morning and realised that i'm quite philosphical. =)

okay i'm off to do some major muggeration (pris's vocab) now. tmr's the combine practical so all the best to everyone taking it! after tmr it's over yeah so tahan for a few more hours! =) i'm free tmr so i decided since i drank so much tea for dinner, (it was so diluted right elisa? practically like H2O, no tea at all. btw, if it's diluted, it will take a slower time to react right? so the speed of reaction is slower. ha! chemistry... see? i'm learning! ) so yup, as tea works wonders for me, i just can't sleep with tea in my head, thus i shall study like a studatic, a lunatic basically. sigh okay see ya =)

hmmm...

my class! =)

12th october

okay i've been having enrichment lessons from 7am-9pm. physics was a blast today! learnt lots of things, haha, and had loads of fun in the HOD room.

angel: 4-D eh? hope we stirke! haha... sigh, too bad the probability is so low. haha...

amos: square centimetres? cubis metres? squares of cubes? cuboids of squared sqaure cuboids? haha had a great laugh in there eh?

anyway, it's just too bad i can't eleborate on it cause i may unintentionally "flame"or slam teachers. i doubt i would, but a precaution nonetheless due to the news about blogs and teachers right? but it was fun, really... realised that teachers can loosen up a lot, but we have to be careful not to cross the line too. =)

sigh, anyway i realised something. the many student couples we see around... they're so happy sometimes right? but you can see the pain and quarrels theu go through too... it's sad sometimes, but somehow things always turn out okay right? so never fear, God is here! did my QT today and prayed for the O levels. hee anyway i had better go to bed now. tomorrow's my graduation ceremony! haha night people! =)

busy busy bumble bee!

as the title obviously shows, tomorrow is gonna be a real busy day! oh gosh i think i'm goign into la la land the minute i reach home. i'll be spending mroe time in school than at home tomorrow! sigh i fell tired already! haha

i'm supposed to be in school by 7.15, attend assembly, and have class at 7.45AM! mind you ti's not school, it's an enrichment lesson with mr rashidi and mates. the small problem is angel and i don't really have questions to ask him, so well, we'll just sit in and listen to the rest! =) perhaps we could learn something too! =) oh after that, it's lunch time! hee angel adn i are gonna have a NICE lunch. after how many months we're actually goign to sit down and eat! we don't have to stuff our faces and rush up the stairs with bags hammering at our hands and legs, or bang into walls, tripping over shoes laces and stuff like we used to during school hours! haha quite excited actually... funny eh... well after that's physics with mr yap. we're gonna ask him a few questions... okay so it's A LOT of questions, but we're probably complete a few only cause our physics ain't too strong. actually our sciences are horrible but ah nvm. i'm more of an artistic person. yeah right... okay i'm more of an arts person. the kind who dreams and writes and ya da ya da na da... yeah that kind. okay my physics ends at 2pm, then angel and i are off yet again to literature lesson! this time mr rashidi's gonna go through unseen poetry! haha i'm never quite good with that but somehow i always land up choosing poems over prose even though i hate poems. maybe i'm weird. ah yes, lit ends at 5pm, and finally i get to go home! HOME! back to my mummy and daddy and spider named charlotte (inspiration from jolene's literature text - charlotte's web)! haha, okay, so i caught this spider and am rearing it. (nothing to do with dengue fever okay?) exciting isn't it? i have a pet again! though not a mammel, but a pet nonetheless =) oh anyway, i'm going to meet elisa for dinner! haha yay! now's my turn to feel so loved. i get to spend some time with angel, then elisa! haha, i was deprived of my love for quite a few months. you see, for our csf thing, no one loved louie! yvonne and zhi yin didn't call me for about 4 months straight! (it's recorded in my notebook heh) so anyway, i'm getting my love back! haha nah, i'm being my nonsense self again. ah yes, the reason i'm meeting elisa is so that i cna accompany her in school since mr ng requested for her to help out with the night classes thing. ahha might as well right, then i get to ask her questions too if i'm unsure, which would be most of the time. (LOISA! where's your confidence man!) we end at 9pm. long day huh. i would have spent at least 12 hours in school in one whole day after tomorrow! world record, falling short of camps in school! haha

okay okay, i had better pack up everything and start studying now... bye people! =)

prelim results

mrs. koh came back to school yesterday! haha, kinda nice. missed her when there was a change of teachers. mr. wee was scary today. asked me about my total score or points. sigh... below 20? i wish... anyway on to my results. great!! i improved for my humanities! =) and ONLY my humanities mind you. sigh, my pride and joy is only in my humanities. but i'm still not happy! i felt i did really well for my lit, but my dear ss again, my SS hai yo! want to slaughter myself. brought me down to a B, and missing a mark to A can!!! ahhhhhhhhhh well my sciences are like flop. bleh. i'm going to SOMEHOW pull them up. i believe i still can do it. i have to. now math... hmmm.. i think i can do it too. i'm banking on my math too. didn't do TOO badly but not up to my expectations. chinese... improved a LITTLE, like 2 marks? but i'm afraid if i do too much chinese, my english will go down. it's gone down this time, and i scared myself. i got a darn b can. not happy. cause english is one of the few subjects which can hopefully cover up for my dear chinese and sciences which at the moment, are atrscious. at the moment only. =) okay, i've decided. no more computers for me. it's bad. it doesn't really help blogging anyway. didn't improve my english did it? maybe cause i didn't try to speak good english out here but ai yar. anyway seriously, it doesn't help anything. so... if anyone had anything to important to say, pls don't feel free to call or email. but do feel free to tell me in my face cause that's the only way to get anything through me now i guess. my mom and dad seemed pretty okay with my results, they said i have to pull up my sciences but good job for my Bs.. at least not Cs or something. but then, i made one grave mistake. that was calling sam to tell her that our mission trip but the day after our supposed prom night so i might not go. then wah, my dad's face turned a black precipitate colour. wah he wasn't happy anymore. i was actually preparing to finish up a math paper i did yesterday but fell asleep. but now he doesn't seem to be happy with my doing of math. he wants me to do science. but the problem is, i do math in the night. and i do science in the afternoon. somehow it works better but okay. i'll try to turn things the other way around to make him happy. like i said, no mroe computers, no more phone calls that last over a minute, if i can even pick them up. oh ya, and i'll try not to touch my handphone too. shall keep it off for as long as possible so my hands will not be itchy when i receive a call or sms. sigh, i feel like kingshaw. trapped. but that's the way it is. come on, ti's one mroe month to O levels only. can make it! ONE MONTH! can't wait. okay this shall be the end of louie's happy life. good bye... sniff... okay being dramatic yet again.....................i'm depressed, stressed, supressed, opressed, whatever press.. press starts sigh. okay off to my study table. c ya =)

ps. happy birthday yesterday germaine! =)

1st October

happy children's day! haha, okay funny way to start but heh... it's just too bad youths don't get a holiday too and it's REALLY abd that instead, the Os are COMING!!!!! haha like angel said, "bang wall also no difference", or for my case, tearing tissue paper. =D sigh... the rest of the school's finals are on monday, sigh all the best yeah? it's jsut as stressful here haha as i'll be getting back THE RESULTS. AHHHHHHHHH...... panic attack here! haha, realised something. i tend to put "haha" for the sake of it. doesn't it make one feel better, it's as if you're telling yourself "no worries, God is behind you... HAHAHAHA!" does that make sense?

anyway began to feel really lonely after i hung up with angel. it was such a surprise. we've all been... isolated... after the exams. all our papers are different (bio, a math, chinese, chem, physics) sigh... was at home studying while mum was out (dad was overseas), when angel called!!! haha she was at the interchange or something. of course we just had to go crazy. haha psst, read her blog! i just love her latest post, erm basically cause it's GREEN. haha... thank you angel! =)

oh ya, i went for the miracle service today with my mum! it was an annointing session. =) they put oil on our foreheads, and blessed us. prayed against dengue fever and all. after they blessed me, i was supposed to say "i receive, in Jesus' name, AMEN." that's for the youths lar, but for the adults, it's "i receive, and my family too, in Jesus' name, AMEN" of course, i had to fumble and consider myself as an adult when i said the wrong one, but does it mater anyway? ahha good thing i said the family part too, cause daddy wasn't there as he had just arrived from a business trip and was very tired, and mummy said the youth's one. she forgot to say family! haha, so i said it. good eh? my whole family's annointed! =) that would spread around to everyone else too right? cause we're all one big family! =) sigh, tmr raq's sister has a birthday party so she can't make it for service, adn julie's not going for it as it's her finals on monday, so maybe i'll either go with my neighbours which is funny as i have rarely, no, NEVER gone with them before... or i'll go for the morning service with mummy and daddy. yeah =)

one last thing, i had another dream last night! haha, for our GB annual camp this year, we went to Florida (disneyland). haha maybe ms gan would bring us there? 10th year mah, special! haha i guess i can continue dreaming eh? nvm it's a pleasant dream =)

ps: this hmm pink colour is dedicated to angel, who went through the trauma of putting up a green post for me! haha thanks... okay, so i've got one purple (amelia) and one pink (angel). erm kim, there's way too many blues in my blog! more than my green okay! haha study hard people!!

don't worry be happy =)

well i changed my song haha kinda like it. i think i shall stick with it haha.

hey DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY!

haha how true isn't it? if you face trouble, don't worry cause you'll just make it double. in most cases triple! so basically don't worry! haha always be happy and everything will fall in place, especially when God's carrying you all the way! =) pray and don't worry, be happy, okay i think i've made my point yeah? shall not repeat myself again. sorry just one last time

Don't worry Be happy =) put a BIG smile on your face!!

a MOVIE FINALLY

yay haha finally i'm going to watch a MOVIE after like goodness knows how many months! haha it's some bride movie thing. watching it with sam, aud and jami. argh! wanted julie raq ans sun to come along too, but they've got school and their finals are coming up. raq said she's going to mug real hard. sometimes, with her crankiness and humous and all, she's really a motivation. it's like she goes for it and she works hard for it. she reaps what she sows. after reading her posts, somehow i find some kinda inspiration there, a motivation to STUDY. haha nice eh? =)

oh ya, the reason i can make it now it's because the rehearsal for my class's performance ( graduation ceremony) has been cancelled. but then again, i kinda pang seh-ed shawn cause i was supposed to help with some math and physics thing. opps sorry... nvm, another day k? and you really should go for studying. sicne you've made it this far, supposedly without studying, you might as well go the whole way and end your journey with your best try. =) oh ya, council has this performance too. some singing thing. yeah the chorus goes something like that, ain't too sure

"and friends are friends forever, if the Lord's the Lord of them, and a friend will not say never, cause the welcome will not end, though it's hard to let you go, in the Father's hands we know, that a lifetime's not too long, to live as friends"

oh ya well basically tonight was a mad phone calling day. felt like GB all over again when we call our squad members! haha, felt normal again. haha well had to call a few cca councillors regarding the council performance on friday, then had to call amelia, angel and kim to inform them of the cancellation of my class's rehearsal tomorrow and blah blah. and THEN tried calling samantha (class) to ask her about the eagles award thing as we were supposed to collect the form from her tomorrow but we're not going to school anymore! and erm well, as expected, mr chiang spelt my name wrongly, as always... (louisa) can't anyone remember it! (sigh... what i cannot stand most are the pronounciations... many variations of it. there's loy-sa, lobster, or oh i absolutely love this one. LOU-SIA! say it in chinese, and wow, i'm downstairs or something.) oh goodness was quite messy. then aud and jami called about the movie and ai yar, really like GB. haha you can never get bored with GB. busy busy bumble bee. that's me! haha, nah, rabbit would be nicer than a bee.. oh did i tell you once angel, kim and me stayed in class during bio by ourselves and we had a date with a whole SWARM OF BEES? haha nvm. long story. it was funny AFTER the incident though.

oooo nothing much happened after these i guess, now i'm free so study it is... i hope =)

ps: ms gan said the disneyland at florida is ncier than the hong kong one..! haha, when jami told me that, for one moment i thought ms gan was bringing us to florida after the thailand trip. sigh my hopes have been dashed, my spirits dampened!!! okay i'm being dramatic again... haha.. well one can dream right? haha i think if we do really go, zhi yi would love it since she likes mickey mouse so much. julie would probably go crazy over donald duck and daisy duck. i love pluto! haha, cause well, it's a dog! haha =) goofy's just too goofy for me.. haha goof woof! okay as what julie would say, deprived of a childhood.. haha nah... just being nonsensical again

sos and elisa's birthday!

haha tmr's sos quite excited... church service that is. save one soul! julie, raq and me are going! sam was supposed to go but in the end she had somethign on. aww... haha, well basically i was QUITE free as i'm done studying physics and chem! today i was so sciency lar. did all the mcq papers in preparation for tues's examination. i'm so happy, taking a break now haha. but then timothy asked me for my copy of the format for english reports, letters etc. had to scuffle through my room to look for it. now everything's turned upside down again. all messy. haha, and i just tidied my room! ah well nvm, all the best for english k? =)

well anyway, tmr's elisa's birthday too! shhh... got surprise... will tell you about it when it's over. i'm not going though, so will harrass someone else to tell me what happened. julie and i are meeting earlier tmr to get elisa a present! sam's chipping in too. hahahahahaha... betcha tmr's gonna be a mad rush as you know whenever julie and i are together, SOMEHOW we'll end up being late. sigh... punctuality is not our forte... haha

oh ya, sigh, there's something wrong with me. i feel old. i have no idea what happened by my neck feels so stiff! my chin hurts, and i keep slouching and hunching. í may be getting athirithis!

break time!

haha okay the last two days were great as basically i had time to take a breather. whew! though i rested quite a bit, i studied too! quite proud of myself. have been qutie focused these few weeks, ever since the september holidays. =) erm wait, i'll continue another day. cold case had started and i'm gonna eat while watching! lalalala =)

21st September

when i got home, my neighbours and i had lunch together, in front of a computer. sigh, realised teenagers these days just love the com... a bit addictive isn't it? anyway, i received this email thing, and after clicking and answering question after question for like how many pages long, i finally got the results of this funny test thing. i didn't even know what i was supposed to find from this... something about me i guess... a quick advice, maybe one should put the title of any quiz at the TOP of the quiz? yeah...

as i was saying, basically... this is what the screen told me

You see many things through the eyes of a child. Meaning, you're rarely cynical or jaded. You cherish all of the details in life. Easily fascinated, you enjoy experiencing new things.

i see things through the eyes of a child? hmmm funny... i find that i don't even realise the details in life as i'm always rushing or sleepy or just day dreaming. most comman past time is stonning. easily fascinated? haha YEAH maybe! =) experiencing new things are fun... but somehow i prefer to experience new physical things. i don't mind trying out a new sport, or jump over a wall or something like that. but if you ask me to try something that is mental... ahhh maybe not. okay okay i'm off the com now! i'm going to study my literature for tmr's prelims! ahhhhh hee =)

flag day

okay louie is sick. haha been sneezing my arse off. something very wrong with my nose. i got a fever last night, and a cold this morning. my noose is bloocked! not nice. oh i can't breathe! no oxygen! haha... nah, being drama ah ma here. i don't really have the mood to study now, so i went online heh. the GB girls are having flag day now. around 9, julie called me. haha, it seems she's supposed to go to seng kang with carol, sarah, and a few sec 1s. they're lost on bus 27! haha! actually after hanging up, i realised that could they not have taken the MRT train instead? haha, anyway, i played a few games with amos, or rather ATTEMPTED to, but our coms are weird! the only game both of us can play is tic tac toe, which becomes boring after two or three games. discussing ss and lit with jeremy. he told me there's this website online whereby you can get questions with model answers for KOTC online, but i'd have to pay. in the end i was like "nvm!" he said he'd hack into the website or something. goodness gave me a fright.

oh ya ya, i saw this version of a star in this stationary shop in st. 11 yesterday! haha was so excited. the people who came into mind were audrey, avril, carol and sunshine. haha. so i decided to draw the outlines during dinner for the star. then i'd try to do some decorations, cut it out or something, then give it to them. haha wheee. so excited. i glued audrey's star already. currently doing avril's one while listening to this song amos sent me. it's quite nice. "i'll be okay" by mcfly. hee thanks! =) lalala, wonder where's julie now? anyway i should be heading out later to donate and say hi to jessica and debbie's group in pasir ris... hee wait for me girls! =)

erm people, would you like to make a donation to The Girls' Brigade? please head down to tampines, bedok, semei, pasir ris, or erm, seng kang NOW! thank you! =)

first week of prelims are over!!

okay i realised a few things. this is officially the second time i feel so proud of my juniors and touched by them. i was totally panicking for my chinese exam, as different people kep telling me different formats and different things i nearly died lar. so i decided to take on priscilla''s advice and to call carol and germaine up for some major help, the day before my prelims. yeah yeah a bit late, but i felt bad for troubling them. anyway, i decided carol was quite busy so i called germaine up first. although she wasn't very sure about the format, and we hung up, i think she got jacintha to help me. i guess i can safely presume that's her cause jacintha's scary sometimes that was why i was hesitant in calling her. but she called me anyway. and that's so sweet! it's like, juniros who care. it brings out this really nice feeling... oh and carol too! carol actually helped me out during her recess too. aw so sweet. shawn too. these are examples of people who are too nice but that's good right? the world needs nice people. what's that haha, powerpuff girls' song? (sorry lar, i babysit so i've listened to this song quite a few times)

"love love love makes the world go round!!"

haha, oh yeah, bhavna was really a darling too. i was just brooding in my room, couldn't quite concentrate in my room. she smsed me and that cheered me up quite a big. thank you! funny eh? little gestures like these, or hugs and smiles from your friends (angel, kim, amelia) can encourage you so much. one doesn't need something that big to motivate you. something small everyday can make your life so colourful. okay sorry, i'm becoming very philosophical here cause i'm on a one day break after the first week of prelims.

okay okay i'll get to my point. this week has made me realise that there are great people in the world and i am really thankful for them. i'll probably be this crabby stone fish on my bed now if i wasn't feeling so mushy and grateful and cheery. so thank you people! you're the ones who that rainbow and whisk that rain cloud outta my life! i love you guys! =)

ps. happy birthday cherie dear! God bless ya =)

physics and chinese

argh argh argh oh goodness yikes! today's physics paper was like pure ridiculous. kept avoiding mr yap after that. felt so bad for letting him down. bleh. the FIRST wonderful light experiment was deemed a failure the minute my eyeballs set sight on the screw. i don't like light experiments. first and formost, let me introdue to you the plasticine we were given to, to attatch to all objects. we were not given a stand, a box, scotch tape, stapler or glue. oh no no NO! we HAD to be given what...? STONE PLASTICINE! the plasticine arh, i don't know what kind of synthetic dumb clay it's made of, but it's totally rock lar. they gave us a whole gigantic LUMP of it, and we had to break it up into smaller pieces for each object. i didn't do anything for a whole 10 minutes except attempting to pull apart the clay, not as if i have a lot of time. fed up i tell you. in the end i was so pissed with the stone thing i threw it onto the floor. it didn't work. i scratched it, pinched it, used my ruler to cut it. okay, this is turning into a descriptive essay so my point is, the plasticine was plain hard and shi tou like.

well anyway i FINALLY got it apart, then what happened? i switched on the torchlight... and... the switch came off -_- argh! i was hopping mad by that time. so panicking, i stuffed the switch back then tried to find my dear image, which seemed very insistent on disappearing from me. something wrong with my cornea or what but my eyeballs JUST couldn't detect any image of any kind. all i could see was light. LIGHT! sigh, didn't finish graph, bleh bleh bleh

okay time's up! we switch experiment. YAY! an easier mass experiment. we're supposed to measure the mass of the metre rule. haha, oaky no problem! or so i thought. i spoke too soon. all i did was merely poked the wooden cork and it fell apart. what nonsense is this i ask you? okay, i've run out of steam. tired of complaining liao. anyway my 5 mins break online is over. i guess i had better get to studying metals, gases, anions, cations, OAs, RAs, colours, ppts etc. sigh... chemistry HERE I COME! i tell you arh, the test tubes had better not break or the hose don't start to mysteriously spray water on me otherwise, that's it. loisa will lose all sanity, if i haven't already... oh the effects of prelims. what will happen during the Os? haha nah, don't think so much, i'm outta here! =)

ps. oh yeah, chinese ain't too bad. it didn't make me go as crazy as physics, but i don't have much confidence. for the compo, i either did very well, or i wrote so well i went out of point. i memorised phrases from a compo book you see, since i obviously can't form a single proper sentence on my own. paper 2.... eh... the problem is i understood the passages. i didn't understnad the questions! ahhhhhhhhh haha, nvm it's over. with God's grace i'll stay alive somehow. by the way, ahem, important message here, LOUIE IS GOING TO THAILAND with GB! wahahahaha heeeeeeeeeee

hee =)

okay okay! i admit now and right here! i am bored and a bit GB maddening... well sorry i happen to have quite a few GB pictures right? anyway, you see i did all my science practical practices, and completed 3 math papers, so i decided to give myself a treat. i logged onto my computer, and then tuned in to the creative side of louie! haha okay so this isn't the best work of art you've seen, but the fact that i managed to put everything together QUITE straight is a miracle okay? so give me a break. applaud! haha, so pleased with myself. hey! this IS a start. maybe one day i'll turn everything a bit to the right, a bit to the left, centre, forward, backward... resulting in one VERY nice collage but for now, we'll settle with this yeah? nice...? nice...? come on say it.. it's GREAT! haha =)

11th September

sigh today i had some problems with daddy but i don't quite want to eleborate right here cause once it's written, it cannot be erased, and i know i'll forget about it sooner or later so nvm. anyway saw this youth's prayer which ms gan passed to us on youth day this year (it's pasted on my cupboard).i saw these two rpayers which are really meaningful, well some parts of it applies to me, so i jumbo mumbo both of them together into one nice prayer for louie. here it goes!

Dear Heavenly Father,

You know the struggles i face. people are loading their expectations on mr. the worst part of all is that i am not sure about myself. i have many dreams. i have my own expectations. Dear Heavenly Father, give me understanding. You understand the turmoil i am going through. help me find the anchor in You so that i will not be swept away by the storms of life.

i know You have commanded me to obey my parents. You ahve made it very clear in Your word that i am to respect my parents. in fact, You have even promised me that if i obey my parents You will bless me richly. Dear Heavenly Father, You know that my relationship with my parents is not exactly what it should be. i pray that You will help me in this area of my life. give me spiritual wisdom and understanding so that i may know how You want me to conduct myself. give me strength so that i can obey my parents even in the face of opposing forces. remind me constantly of the wise word of Psalm 119 verse 9 which asks the question: how can a young person keep his way pure? the answer: by living according to Your revealed word, the Bible.

Dear Heavenly Father, enable me to live a life worthy of Your name.

In Jesus' name, Amen

10th september

goodness i'm just so hungry! i think there's something wrong with me. it must have started when i feel out of bed this morning! i had this nightmare about green frogs eating tiny rabbits with giant forks... started hammering my on my bed and kicking the wall, and somehow, i landed on the floor. bumped my head. from then onwards, i had worms in my stomach. i think the hunger worms diffused from the marble flooring itno my head, traveled down my ateries and veins, and lodged themselves in my stomach. i'm talking nonsense here right? sigh...

i'm feeling so hungry now, but my mom banned me from eating. i actually happily made one tom yam cup noodles with this gleeful grin on my face, and went to do some math. when i went back to the kitchen i couldn't find my noodles. i went back outside to the hall and found my mom eating them. she said she's doing me a favour by eating the noodles so i wouldn't get fat. goodness i cannot think anymore. i'm famished! i'm probably a glutton but hey, i'm a growing girl! well erm, trying to grow but one can always dream right? =)

had tuition with oilam in the morning... quite braindraining but enlightening too. just realised i am THAT blur with chemistry. and i FINALLY understand that darn logic gates! how to combine the silly AND< NOT, OR, NOR, NAND whatever gates! i kinda like physics actually, now i i'm beginning to understand it. it's growing on me. maybe i shall be a physician... hey no, that's a medical doctor. see? hunger pangs make me go all funny. i'm starving here. mabe i shall wait til like 3 or 4am and then i'll go and steal food from the refridgerator. heee now that's an idea! =)

8th september

haha sigh don't ask me what i'm doing right now. i'm basically doing all my notes, doing my compo, and resting at the same time. or rather, i'm crapping around with a few erm.. poetic people... sigh... help! i drank too much tea and now i can't sleep! i've got tuition with oilam tomorrow morning at 8.30 too! fwah la la... okay i seriously don't know what to do with myself...

"i don't know what to do with myself.... lalala, lalala, la, lalala"

VERY... i finished my compo, chinese xi zi, and the chinese close passages okay?! CHINESE! first time i chiong chinese homework until like siao. although i still do it, i'll usually leave it to the last. hahahahahahahahahahahaha goodness i just love myself.. hope that everything STAYS in my head though and doesn't like jsut leak out or worse, SPILL out... if not there'll be NOTHING left in my head! ahhhhhhhhhhh okay i'm crapping again... sigh...

raq hasn't been blogging.... i'm lost... blog raq blog!

PRIS! you can too! chinese is our mother tongue, we are not plain english people, chinese is our game too! let's strive and beat that darn game yeah? lalalala =)

weird boots

okay like right! i had washed my shoe bag as my boots were dirty because i fell into the toilet bowl suring the pbb camp, and i had to put my boots in the bag so everything was so sticky and wet... it dried today so i decided to plish my boots nice nice until become liang liang then pack everythign away nicely. then like???? suddenly the soles of my boots fell out? okay only one side lar, but ther other side has a big hole... sigh... i do not have super glue so use what? glue stick? stapler? scotch tape? STRING?! okay, i'm beginning to sound ridiculous... sigh... actually i've got another pair of boots but that's not shiny cause i ahve nto been constantly polishing it... YET. i want my old boots back! where there's a will,. there's a way... where's there's a stationary shop, there's a tube of super glue... therefore louie will go down and buy a tube... see if it works... i feel so crappy and senile now... fine, shall go back to writing my composition entitled "Describe how your family spends a typical Sunday". sigh.. i shall use self-deprecated humour as i always do.. it's the easiest... hmmm...

bbq!

sigh... yesterday was the bbq... it was raining lar... such a miserable day.. but nvm.. the sec 3s prepared all the food! haha, only problem was... well.. there was SO MUCH chicken! and like erm... very few sausages and crabsticks and corn? goodness... haha.. ate quite little there... had to eat carrot cake and instant noodles when i got home.. avril and me were like saying "i want to eat sweet corn! haha, go home we'll have to eat some more.. hungry hungry... !" haha... she's cute... raq came too! it seems she was a lost stray or something... nah... mrs. koh's joke. elisa dragged her back when she wanted to leave earlier...

well anyway, when julie and me arrived (quite late), we were feeling kinda stoney and moody... sigh... i felt pretty weird... like kinda sian, and i felt bad because of the card. i thought that i had told elisa on the phone that if we do make a teachers' day card, it would only be from our batch. when asked if she wanted to contribute, i thought it would mean including her signiture or note. in fact, when julie was sick and raq wasn't sure if she would be coming, i was going to do away with the card and all cause i really CANNOT make any form of a card. in the end it was julie who was on about making the card. so it was only from both of us lor... sigh... the seniors' faces looked so angry then that i felt so stoney after that....sorry.......... but julie was right.. it was only a small thing, actually that was what i thought too... until the seniors like made one circle and started whispering about card and gifts and going out to buy something. they sounded so serious in the end i just went to become a shi tou. thank goodness after i ate one crabstick i felt normal again. was afraid i was going to spoil the mood. sigh... this year it seems as if i get so pissed so often, and i keep making mistakes. sigh... beginning to find GB more stressful than ever. first time keep feeling so stoney in GB. oh dear... oh then julie started stoning too.. also not quite sure what happened to her. raq was quiet.. didn't quite know how to talk to her. wonder if she's okay.. suddenly her blog's gone... sigh... i hope julie and i did not leave her out... the sec 3s were pretty weird too... like they were eating and eating AND eating... and disappearing... haha nvm. forget it. that day was just weird lar. didn't quite enjoy myself until sigh... so sorry... when all the sec 3s left. felt so weird. sigh... must be my hormones or something... heh

oh ya, then we had a small birthday celebration for jolene. HAPPY BIRTHDAY you! haha it's great you got an A for lit. hope i helped a little. sorry my facial expression was such a rock that day.. wasn't feeling too good at that time. rachel! WHY did you miss 2 marks to an A! nvm, end of year get A yeah? =) oh oh, julie and me then presented jolene her present. haha it was a small notebook! she had betetr use it man.. hope you like it jolene! julie and i squeezed through a HUGE crowd to get that for you okay... haha...

well basically, we splashed water on feline, carmen, zhi yin and julie. they got wet! HEE but well, i got PUSHED in well thank you. somehow i always kena pushed in, i just don't know why. got pushed in during GB camp, cca council retreat, council camp, now bqq... oh well... nvm.. as long as my hp doesn't get wet =) oh dear, feline and zhi yin's hps couldn't quite work i think... hope they're okay now...

well that's basically the GB's teachers' day bbq! still a bit hungry now actually.. it rained around 10 and had to like run to the bus stop, then had to run for the bus, had to run home again... sigh... jian fei arh like that... nvm... healthy.. since i didn't run for aces day anyway... (psst angel and i hid in the library to do our lit notes hee)

ranks and pbb brooch

whew today was one long day... it was promotion adn dedication service at ACJC! haha... well basically raq, sun, julie and me were supposed to meet at tampines to buy ms gan her birthday present. it was a cross! hee... anyway, julie couldn't make it as she had to pack for the overnight stay at ms gan's place... and i was kinda late. but got reason one. haha, cause the night before i had pattern pattern burned 3 fingers, so couldn't polish boots, hurt like mad. so this morning i was to polish my boots but didn't realise it would take so long. in the end, i polished like a bit only? yeah.. so i met raq and sun around 10.45, half hour after meeting time. heh sorry... sun told me that mount zion was like second last floor of century square, but when i went there, i couldn't find anythign? realised shop was closed. so nvm, we just bought it from life book shop. saw ben tan there... haha.. he was goign for the band graduation thing i think...

well anyway, after that we headed for the coffee shop near faith's place. ate erm, nasi lemak.. quite nice leh.. but was darn full after that. met up with sam, adu and julie there. wah after that arh, mad rush okay! went to school and started changing into uniform like crazy... haha... oh then we boarded the bus that would take us to ACJC. that was the start of my horrible day. i got scolded about my total defence badge and kidna disappointed ms gan and ms lee. sorry. you see, raq, julie adn me had formally received our td gold badge but sun, sam and aud had not. so we were plannign to wear our silver one instead so as not to let the others feel left out. in the end, they had brought their gold badge, while the rest were given theirs on the bus. i did not have mine, so ms gan was pretty mad at me. sigh.. felt like crying... ms lee said i had to run 10 rounds for punishment. sigh... well we gave ms gan her present on the bus anyway, and she cried! she actually cried okay... felt like crying myself.. i think she was touched... hee..! =)

okay then we arrived. we were ushered into our seats... haha then we waited quite long. sm gan was in the colour party! haha, no wonder we had to go at like 1.30 while the service itself starts at 3pm. well anyway, saw jami in her white officer's unufirn! haha, quite funny... she looked cute though.. loved her click clock shoes... was kinda waiting for her to fall but nah, nt so mean. okay we waited and waited, and waited... sigh... saw my food com 1 group members! wahahaha hee! =)

FINALLY it started, and it was message after message. by then the girls were all feeling quite tired... julie aud and me were in one row, sun and sam behind us. raq was collecting ranks for the sergeants. (congrats by the way) aud julie and me were nearly falling asleep, but whatever did get into our heads, it was truly inspirational. =) well the long awaited moment arrived. promotion time! avril collected the corporal ranks, raq the sergeant ranks, and for the ssgt, it was individual collection. we were cheering for the sergeants like crazy, but they didn't seem too excited about our pbb or ssgt. it's okay though, cause i guess they were tired. long weekend after all. no congratulations and stuff but again, it's okay.. positive thinking! =) it would have been nice for a loud crazy cheering... but ah well, they do need their energy. haha, scarly i was deaf but hardly like it. anyway, after that was PBB brooch. the mam asked me why my hand was so cold and commented that our company had so many badges! haha hee.. so proud of the girls! =) it was so cold and nerve wreaking at that moment that i truly needed to pee so badly. haha. oh ya, and i was selected to present the guest-of-honour her token of appreciation, which was like a HUGE bouquet of flowers! haha and when i mean huge, i mean GIGANTIC! and the mam told me, where's your face, i can't see your smile... i was like heh sorry, the flowers are quite large... had a bit of trouble carrying them too.

okay i was quite happy then cause everyone was in quite a high hyper mood, BUT i kenw my face was like super super horrendously BLACK after the service. when the sec 3s went for ndp, and i saw pearlyn without her hair net, i was told with much CONVICTION by EVERY sec 3 ndp girl that "the other girls dont need to wear leh, it's OKAY, ms angeline didn't say anything. pearlyn has not been wearing it for quite some time so it's OKAY." and the careless thing i did was not to double check with ms gan, since i thought pris was handing it. and today? i saw peralyn wearing hair net, so innocently i asked her "why are you wearing one?" and she like gave me this innocent face too and said "can don't wear meh?" i should have said "YOU tell ME!" but i was so angry i faced the wall. was kind of punishing myself i guess cause everythign was rushign through my head, like discipline adn hwo i wasn't a good example to the juniors if i myself had to do pinishment later (run 10 rounds). thanks carmen and avril for making me feel better... i felt like a total failure and was angry at the whole world at that point of time... =)

oh then on the way home, had motion sickness... bleh... i never was good on buses.. sigh head was totally spinning... then ms gan wanted to pin the brooch on for us but erm, in my confusion i gave her the plastic instead... heh... she wanted to pin the palstic on me!!!

well all in all, a tiring but rewarding day yeah? have fun at the happy happy carnival girls! be happy! SMILE! it increases your face value.. hee
