date: Monday, February 26, 2007
time:8:17 PM
Well... today was the first 2 papers of my common tests: Eng and Chi

Both papers were compositions so it was fairly well. Hope that my Chinese can get a better mark.

After that, I decided to be crazy and showed Amanda, Tan Min and Dawn a classic Zi Lian picture. Of course the photo is sponsored by me. Jolin was saying that she can't stand these kind of pictures where by the girls have enormous eyes, small nose and with heads titled down all the way. (her description)

Amanda was laughing her heads off when she saw my picture. Haha... I purposely took one of these to tease her since I saw several ones of herself in her mobile phone. However, don't blame me for a not really good picture of myself since I am not made for Zi Lian pics.

Anyway, this Sat we will most probably go to Amanda's new house in Jurong East rather than Tan Min's. At the same time, Amanda's sis is also celebrating her birthday. So ya... there should be many people. Still there will be nice pool waiting for me to dip into. hehe.... Such cool water in the hot sat noon (hopefully it won't rain). Hope I can get tan... I wanna be black... haha...

For info: the newly built complex at my house nearby has a large deep pool. However, the only problem is that it has a dumb shelter so I can't get tan while doing my laps. Hmm... the others like the small and play pools were all under the sun. That's not fair.

Shall end here.

date: Thursday, February 22, 2007
time:8:22 PM
I told you that my brother is a real pampered peep... And I have concluded that it is true. Today and yesterday, he has severe stomachache due which is common pain that everyone has underwent before. Last night he cried when he woke up from bed to go to the toliet. I asked him why and he said that I has scared that he cannot get to school the next day. Well... that was a stupid reason to cry. Next, just now, he cried over the pain in his butt. It's pretty common to have a pain there after numerous times in the toliet. So is he pampered? YES!!!

Dawn's right. We are leaving bunny already and shall only go back in June or July. I feel as though I deproved tremendously. Somehow, Dawn seems to be better than me. Hm...

Today Zhu Qing carried 4 social studies work book home. That's wierd right? Then Tan Min was there too. I was with Jun Hui. So I asked ZQ why she had 4 of them and she refused to tell me. I asked TM and she too shut her mouth tight. The PACKAGE are really irritating at times. Wonder why?! Maybe too much of sticking together since the start of school caused them to influence each other.

Anyway, Monster came and give us a dressing down as per normal. I am getting quite sick of her contineous nagging. Be patient Dionne, in another few months, you won't be seeing her too often.

Yippy, tomorrow will be a short day since Mr. Foo gave us a halfday till 11am in cohesion with the good "O" levels result this year. No plans after that...

CHU SAN was a pretty fasinating day since I kept myself entertained with my camera taking around Wayne's house. Everyone was gambling and engrossed with the technology in his house. Hmm... Anyway cut straight to the point. Here are some photos for you to enjoy:

Sorry, due to technical problems, I have erased all the pics. If any of you want any of them, just msn me. Thanks.

PS: I would like to say a big thank you to Weiye Sir for letting us visit his place and messed it up with our food and drinks and cards(?) haha... Most of all is the numerous boxes of pizzas (about 10 of them)for lunch and the Coffee Bean cake for Yi Hui and Yong Yue birthday. Wish you a Happy Chinese New Year !!!

date: Sunday, February 18, 2007
time:11:48 PM
Hmph...What a lovely Chinese New Year. Of course the routine days for the New Year occurred as predicted.

However, what made me really pissed was when I on my computer the minute I got home. I was planning to just transfer my digital cam pics into the computer and just log out. I found it a little wierd as when I logged into MSN and people started talking to me, the muted sound I made had sound again. On top of that, my websites that I saved in my favourites are all GONE. What's more, the itunes music that I accumulated were out of the blue GONE.

Can you take this sudden blow of everything slipping off your fingers?

Well, I can't. All thanks to my stupid brother that made me waste my time collating everything single thing back. I really can't afford another blow. On top of all these, the reason behind all these mess was due to the fact that my brother has nothing to do thus deciding to stirr up this chaos. Let's say if it was due to the fact that the computer got hanged up halfway, that I can accept. But, out of fun one sarcifices others precious items, it's a straight no to me.

It kinds of spoil the effect of a nice Chu Yi.

In conclusion, I'll rather be the only child. Though it will be boring, you get peace and quiet instead. Anyway, according to the DISC test, I'm a high S and C (same as TM). Therefore I don't need entertainment from external factors. I would gladly say, "KEEP OUT!!!"

Yes, it's mean but that's me. Don't like it? Then stay out.

Today's the eve of the pig year and somehow I don't feel the spirit that should be growing in me. Normally Chinese New Year should always be a widely look forward occasion but it can't seem to work with me.

Today I was supposed to go to my grandfather's house in the morning with the others. However, I decided to go later. Maybe in 2 hours time. I spent the morning doing our "pleasant" New Year homework. Yes! It's the important year of our lives but can't you teachers just let us free for a moment. A mere 4-day event has caused us to accumulate more interesting sums and questions.

POOR STUDENTS> >>

Let's take a peek into Dionne's 4-day event.

Day 1~ That is today. I'll be going to grandfather's house for reunion dinner. Have to stay up into the night to signify the that your parents shall live till their ripe old age.

Day2~ Chu Yi. Shall take a routine visit that seems to be the same every year. Gets kind of boring since my paternal side are full of small kids and maternal side is bombarded with solely guys.

Day 3~ That makes it a Monday. Likely to be staying at home rotting. So make use of this time to study and complete my homework.

Day 4~ The final day of the 4-day event. Can be considered an eventful one lest everyone decides to be boring and I won't get any entertainment. We will be going to Weiye Sir's house to overturn it (just joking).

Then, the dream shall be over, leading to reality of the need to study again. And no more such lxurious off days till after my exams.

Till we meet.

Yippy... *Chinese New Year's coming soon, hoorah, hooyah. Chinese New Year's coming soon oh hooya hey.*

In three days time, we shall celebrate the birth of the pig year. Ha...I sound so preachy. Anyway, one thing that is irony is that people have been giving me pig items since Christmas to my birthday recently. Tm gave a mouse rest piggy, Dawn presented a mobliephone pig holder while Jolin gave me a pig ornament. It's really really wierd.

Today, I finally stepped into the newest jurong sports building opened in Nov 2006. I kind of gotten lost until I seeked help from this mother and her son who were going swimming. So I went to the infomation counter to get one of their program sheets. They have hip hop....OOOooo...However it's on Fri evening which clashes with my eng tuition. Moreover, my mum, morphing into Dawn's mum (cruel and unrelentless to have their child mugging for their "O"s) would not let me take this up. It's so cheap, costing only $80 for 3 months, and hour per week. So it's calculated to be about 5 bucks a lesson. I went to view the dance hall and it's super big. It has mirrors on 2 sides of the wall with glass doors so you can peek into the room. How I wish I can join. At least I get to experience a different style of hip hop from another teacher rather than the current one that I have. Well...looks like it has to wait till the end of the big thing. "Hip hop class...pls wait for me... I'll come get you soon..." I think I'm going mad.

Tomorrow will be another eye-opener to this gossip club member here. This is because our school is holding the annual Nan Hua Idol. OooO...then I will get to see people whom I recognize perform well or make a fool of themselves. What I look into a good performance. Of course along the professional judging, I hope the person is pretty or handsome and to be able to sing well while dancing. On the more bias side, this person's have to get into my good books before I surrender the title to him or her.

On the contrary, why don't the school hold a Nan Hua dance competition. If so, then we get to perform. How nice. At least we can contest for the dance title. When we get into JCs the standards are definitely high thus why not take this chance to get an achievement. Sadly this wish shall not be fulfilled.

This is getting pretty long. I shall end here so look out more my post after the Chinese New Year...

Where's the gift, my love will give?
It's nowhere in sight and I shall drift.
Away from them, apart from them.
My heart will lie, only on him.

Then one day, he comes to me.
With ninety-nine roses, just for me.
Reality dawns and I shall mourn.
Marking the end of my pleasant dream.

title: Valentines's Day
date: Wednesday, February 14, 2007
time:11:52 PM
Upside down, bouncing off the dance floor...
Inside out, spin and try to not fall...

Haha...I've caught the singing spirit. Well, no!! It's Potato that's the one. :)

Today, I'm pretty happy with myself to be able to sustain several spins in Thumpers. It's quite a good sign since I have reduced my dance hours from a 6 hour straight to only a 3 hour. Hmm... ... Jia you Buffa... Ole ole ole...

Not to mention, it's Valentine's Day today. Nothing significant occurred on myself. This is becuase I don't have a lover. Hehe... lame. Anyway, today is also a super exciting day that gives me an eye-opener to the couples in school. As a member of the gossip club, I, Buffa, loves to dig out the minute details about people around me. Can't help it, it's my hobby.

However, I have to say that there are nice people around who are willing to give me valentine's day goodies. I did not received as many as yong yue (go see his blog) but it was still sweet of them. He...

I shall end this super short post with this: Potato always do feel sick.

PS: Chinese New Year is coming so gear up your throats for the many heaty stuff that it will have to endure. That's my advice or you will either get a sore throat or lose your voice.

Well the suspension has been over and the results are disappointing. However, it serves as a reminder to me to do better and buck up in the Nov papers.

title: Ballet
date: Saturday, February 03, 2007
time:3:56 PM
Yea!!!

I can now do a double pirouette with ease. Yippe!! Well for those who lack the knowledge, a pirouette is spin on one foot with the other held in the air. It's a fun move and those interested in dance should really try this although it's only taught in ballet.

Remembering the last time when I cannot even do a nice and proper single spin. And now I can do 2. :)

Today, I had the usual sj in the morning and left around noon for ballet which Wayne said that it was Para Para Sakura. How stupid. Anyway, in the dance class, the teacher made us do "shannes". Ha and I can whip my head pretty fast. This is all thanks to the many salsa classes I attended. Especially when we did the cross body leap turn, it requires this movement.

Now, I'm at home, going to study Chemistry later after blogging. Hmm...my Saturday's are really getting dull and boring. I miss hip hop and salsa. How I wish I can go hip hop at 5 later.

Anyway, this post may sound really "deep" or even unappetizing to some. So those not interested can just ignore what I write.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Tomor's Friday and sadly, I've not done any Chinese New Year shopping. The big Chinese festival is in 2 weeks time and the 2 remaining Saturdays are mainly used up for CCA and dance.

Speaking of which, I never once attended sj until the end of the day. Tsk tsk... I can't "play" with Shi Han...haha. Anyway, after tomor I will be relatively less stressful despite an organic chemistry test on the following Tues. At least I get some rest right.

Tomorrow, I'll be having an A. maths test and "O" levels SPA, so wish me luck :)

Yesterday, we went Thumpers for salsa ~ Shine and Advance Salsa. Yz was kind of wierd. She kept saying that she wanted to go home and did not want to attend Advance already. There were extremely alot of girls and only 3 guys. So Kyo taught us the basic turn techniques instead. I was pretty wobbly since I have a lack of warm-ups before all these occurred.

Dawn and I somehow injured our right foot about the same time. (ha! so coincidental...) However, hers seems to be much more serious judging by how high she pulled up the socks today. I was looking at her shoes in school and kept laughing at myself as it was kind of tooty of her to pull her socks so high. In the end, I learnt the truth when she said her mum wrapped a bandage so high up that she had to cover it up. hehe...

Let's analyze the degree of injury between 2 of us: Dawn injured while trying to go down the stairs in threes (go read her blog). On the other hand, I got injured while jumping down from the third step. Naturally, Dawn's angle hurts more as she did mutiples of threes when I only did three. Hmm... naughty potato. See... now you can't do multiple spins without discomfort.
