Well... i practically have not blogged for almost a week.

I am really busy this week, staying back in school everyday(By the way, i hate that).

Let's recall...

Mon
We had our first trail SJAB parade. Our ma'am said tat it was her worst parade ever. Well it was our first one too. Cant she be more lenient. I realized tat our seniors and ma'am are treating us differently from the other and previous squads. Why like that? For their info, tat is just a cca.Yes, it's important, but do they know that students tend to oppose more if you treat them crudely and unfairly. HELLO!! it's a different era now, now the old sixties and seventies where cane can be used in schs...

Now Tue
We had to stay back awhile for some SJ trail parade meeting. Yi Fang will be the chairman for the 2nd parade. Hope it will not be so lousy as the 1st one.

Wed
Finally, a day where i can go home immediately after sch. It rained quite heavily that day. Such a nice day to sleep..BUT need to study so i can just forget abt that idea. These days the no. of mosquitoes have increased significantly in our house.

Thur
That day i had sports heats First aid duty. luckily it was in sch rather than in Clementi complex. the events are high jump and shot putt. Actually why do we need so many first aiders just for some event like this. I rotted for three hrs in sch until six. Then i waited for my dad to fetch me. That time was peak hrs so he had a hard time to come and i had to wait for fifteen mins and more. Wat i did during that time? Well i walked along the stretch of path from my sch's front gate to the end of the path where ZQ bus stop is and back again. Finally, my dad arrived.

Today...
nothing much happened today. Excited abt tomor... Going for Hip hop. I luv it so much. planning to take up salsa too. Soon . . . maybe next week. How i wish i can replace studies with dance. i don mind dancing everyday. It's so nice...

well... shall end here bb.

Now i shall talk abt events occurring on sat and sun

I think i have not been updating right. Sometimes i just have nothing much to say.

Well...here goes.

Yesterday which is sat, i had ballet lessons that will be my second last lesson at the CC. Cause my ballet teacher has to go for an operation and will not be teaching after that. After tat my brother and I have our usual Eng tuition. I have to sit for and hr and a half but my brother is two hrs. so long right. My mum recently requested for longer hr by half and hr. and guess wat is our monthly fees now.... $540. So CHEAP right... She practically charges $70 just for half and hr. It's really absurb. Althought she may be some master degree holder. Compared to my Chi tuition teacher who is also a master degree holder, she only charge $300 monthly for 2 over hrs a week. Such a huge huge difference rightttttttttt.!!!!!!!!

Anyway, after tat boring lesson, i went for hiphop... Yaeee.. (always looking forward to it) Hope the others do too. Pls tell me ur comments Tm & dawn or YZ too if u are reading my blog. Our teacher ask us if we were interesting in performing in the upccoming Salsa festival. Hope it really is true not like the Edmund person. until now he has not shown up.

That's all for sat.

Now SUN...
Today, my mum left for Malaysia early in the morning. She took a plane to KL. She will be back by tue night. i hope she comes home soon. cause i am missing her already. Today she called and said that she was at Genting for a day's of fun and tomorrow she will be working again.

So i went swimming in the morning and went to my grandfather's house later. It was quite a quiet day as my uncle and family went off before lunch as he has some birthday party. the others either has lessons in the late afternoon and had to leave. So that leaves me, my brother, father, my grandfather, my uncle and family who lives there in the house.

then i went for ballet and came home soon after tat.

i shall end here for now.. bye

Today is another school day...

Let's see, our first period is P.E. and so we await for Mr. Anthoney. however, he went to USA and would not be teaching us so Mr. Thomas took over. He taught us javiline. We gathered at the field where it was wet due to the dew. Mr. Thomas was a little wierd. He said,"Class, you know that morning dew is the best as it is refreshing and cool. God gave us such beautiful thing. So u should sit on the grass." Stupid right. He just wants to get our shorts wet. It was really uncomfortable. He even forced us to sit and cant stand.

During recess, TM and I were disscussing wat dance moves we have learnt. Dawn, ZQ and YZ were there too. So during the last few mins of the recess, we dared each other to do the latest move we learnt. YZ said tat she will only perform if she gets paid. Dont mind me being crude but it sounds as if she does those kind of job and get paid or else she will not do. So i did the move followed by TM. Dawn did the moon walk instead which turned out to be not so smooth after all.

After sch, we had this SJ gathering and i left a while later.

Well... tat's all i have now . Cya

title: Post-camp effects
date: Monday, March 20, 2006
time:4:20 PM
Haizzz... So tired. For the last three days i had the Sec3 camp. It is compulsory as it contributed to our CIP hours. So have to go.

Let me list down the activities we did for the past 3 days:

Day 1~~~ Checked into the Changi camp site which opened on sep 05. So is quite new. After that, we had lunch. It was quite nice. (by the way, their meals are nice especially their rice which was always warm.) Then we had the first part of the high elements and I did abseiling while the other half of the group did zip line. I would rather do this to the sip line one as i had done tat during P5 camp.

Day 2~~~ I tired the high elements part 2 and rock climbing(i was quite gd at it as climbed up very fast haha) We did rafting which i did not really look forward to as need to get into the salty sea water to test the raft we bulit. But due to the unforseen weather, i did not get into the sea. Yaeee... Frankly speaking, i would rather swim in a swimming pool than in the sea as i'm afraid that there will be crabs in the water to pinch me.

Day 3~~~ We did light stretching and had a telematch. It's not fair. The top 3 winning teams for that segment got themselves a packet of chocolates each. However, my team (GROUP 4) for third best group. Yae... We got only a miserable black bag. After all these, it was home sweey home.

When we reached sch, my dad was there to fetch me. I ate at my grandpa's house. Over there my relatives said that i did not get any darker. Well.. maybe that's because i am most under the sun everyday, so the camp did not really affect me. For some info on myself, This is my 6th camp. I am starting to feel numb abt camps.

All these are followed by ballet and visiting in my grandma's house.

Finally, we reached home. I completed the Nora Roberts "Sullivan's woman" story. It was pretty nice and i cried as the ending part.

Now, for some acknoledgements... I would like to thank my trainer, Sharial(not really sure of spelling) for guiding us. He is a really fun to be with person. He helped our team to be united. However, he left one the 2nd day.

hello!!

Nowadays not much to blog. Looking forward to this Fri's camp. Should be interesting but i not really looking forward to the kayating. I don't like getting wet especially during camp. As you know the sea water is very salt so our body will feel sticky after it dries up. Who knows, maybe the teachers only allow us to finish bathing within an hour(just like SJAB). 1 hr may be very long when u bath at home. But imagine, having to wait for ur turn with over a hundred girls queuing up to bath. Horrible!!!

Anyway, tomor i am going for some medical checkup. Hopfully, after that there is time for shopping. I hate Sec 3. Life is getting tougher and tougher. I wish i can go back to primary sch or maybe even in my mom's womb.

I wonder why i am born into this world???? Will I reincarnate again the next life and having to undergo these stages in life???

Well... tat's all bye...!!! :)

well... ..today is quite boring. So i shall blog a little on yesterday's and today's incident.

Yesterday, it was like the normal Sat. But it was worst cause it was the starting of my 2 hrs eng tuition. At first it was supposed to be one and a half but my mum said tat it is not enough for both my brother and me so she requested for 2hrs instead.

Hip hop was fun tat day too. We did this so called dance moves. quite nice and alot of new steps. One of the steps was to shake our butt and the teacher told us how to do it the right way. so when she saw us dancing she said is was nice. AND, yz said quite loudly like this " Ohh... she likes my butt" . any comments on this statment, pls tag them on the tag section.

Now, back to today. Swimming in the morning was quite fun. Dono for wat reason. i guess i was quite "high" in the morning. We did the normal procedure for the exam and each of us did CPR on the Annie once. The person teaching us said tat mindy and I were ready for the exam and asked why we did not want to register. And we said tat it was because there is no time to learn the second part of the test which was principles and other first aid items.

Oh, before i forgot. I painted this funky glittery blue nail polish for abt 3 days including today. I wanted to see wat are the comments of the ppl whom is saw this 3 days. in conclusion, 99% said the polish was a little awkward or not nice. Some ppl are TM, mindy and my aunts. the remaining 1% who think the opposite is only Dawn. Well... i have to clean it later cause tomor got remidal in sch.

Tat's all for now... not sure when will blog again. i will try my best.

title: Results all out
date: Tuesday, March 07, 2006
time:3:51 PM
So long never update already. Like for about 3 days.

Anyway, today i completely got back all my results. As i expected, I failed A. maths. Around 60% failed and only 3 ppl got distinction. So sad right. Anyway, i have to brush up upon my maths. It's getting worst.

Today, as usual, lessons and home sweet home. I missed the train to boon lay so i took a look in the Leisure bookstore. I saw this bk tat was recommended by Linda Howard. It looks interesting, but it cost $15. So expensive!!!

On the train, YZ caught up and so we met. I took her abt the book but when she asked wat was the title and author, I told her tat i forgot already. But i said tat it was red in colour. Lame answer right _ _" So many bks are red in colour.

I read the newspaper after i came home. There was this article stating that a new human bridge will be built and will be the longest in s'pore. It is designed as a Double-helix structure like in our DNA. Cool right!!!

Well... tat's all i have. Shall update as soon as i can. BB... ...

date: Thursday, March 02, 2006
time:11:10 PM
Today was an eventful day... ...Why?? Here it goes...

After going to JP to buy something, i decided to take the back route of the shopping mall to take 179. To get to the bus stop, i have to cross this wide road where all the buses turn in the interchange. Then at the side of the road, i saw this teenager girl with her boyfirend the other friends at the corner. The girl's foot was run over by a vehicle as her foot had the scrapes of a tyre and the SBS in-charge was calling the parents of the girl. The base of her foot was bleeding and she was crying in pain. Sounds disgusting... but true.

So the moral of the story is do not stand on the road when waiting to cross the road or u will end up like tat girl.

2nd incident is quite terrible... but it is true.

My neighbour's house caught fire. it was due to the prayer stand at their balcony. You know they will leave those candles lit throughout the day. Unfortunately, today was a windy day and the prayer stand caught fire. Passer-bys came up to our house to tell us abt the fire. By the time the firemen and police came, the fire was extinguished but the 2 poor dogs were stuck in the smoke-infested house. The firemen were quite inefficient as they took a long time to break into the house. (The owner was on a holiday and their daughter was rushing home from work)

My other neighbour who was their relative rushed home to get the spare keys to open the door from her house. However, it had no use as the firemen had spoiled the lock. Finally, the door gave way and the dogs were saved. They were shivering when the got out. i guess they were suffering from shock.

By then, the crowd surrounding our block had dispersed except some busybody aunties who came up to the house to view the scene as if it was a showflat. How irritating... ...

Well... ... tat's all for one eventful day.

Up to today, i gotten back 7 papers already. Left 3 more and i have no eyes to see them.

This time round, i did very badly for my exams. When i say bad, it is really horrible. I have careless mistakes here and there. So far, i got only 1 A, 3B and 2C. C s are biology and English. I hope Mrs Tan can give me 2 more marks when she revise my paper as i pointed to mistakes out.

The last 3 papers are A. maths, SS and Phy. A. maths is a confirm fail. So disappointed wif myself. I must do better the next round.

Hope my mother will not be too angry wif my results. :(

Well... ... nothing much to say. Must buck up, Dionne!!!
