I'm still bored
3rd post of the day!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!

Anyway, just now, just after i clicked publish post for my previous post, My mum called me and asked me to watch this scene in the serial. It was seriously very stupid. It is a Hindi serial and It is a very weepy kind, one where the main characters are always crying their eyes out. If everybody cried this much, then, there would never be a drought in the world.

The characters: The kidnapper(villain), The three children(the victims), The Mother(the hero)

The Scene: In a temple which is located in a cave, The mother is lying on the floor unconscious and the children are praying to the idol, who has a spear in her hand. The villain is standing somewhere on a ledge in the cave, a gun in his hand.

The villain says: Pray as much as you want kids! But no one, including your mother(points to unconscious mother on the floor) or even god (points to statue) can save you.

Then, his foot slips on the edge of the legde, and he accidently fires the gun. The bullet hits the rope with which the children are tied, and then, they are free. Then, as he continues falling, the gun is knocked out of his hand, flies all the way to the statue and knocks the spear which the idol is holding. When, he falls to the ground, the spear falls on him and kills him.

Tada! Stupid, right? I know.

Agenda
The following are the things i have to do over the weekend. In order of completion. (I mean the order in which i have to complete it.)

These are the things due on Monday:
1) Geog peer review. Lol, it is the easiest... a 2 minute job only
2)Finish the Fine Arts Sketch book
3)Math revision WS
4)Class WS For Physics
5)Pack my thermometer into my bag

These are the revision stuff:
1)Revise Physics notes from The chapter Waves onwards
2)Revise Bio lecture 3. I don't get a single thing about all these cycles and stuff.
3)Revise Geog. I think i have to revise from the part on chemical weathering onwards.
4)Revise Math: The only subject that i understand. I must finish of all the examples in the notes
5)Revise Chemistry. All the things about the haber and contact processes and all. But there is no exam for chem so it is not so vital to revise yet.

These are the fun stuff:
1) I seriously need to find something worthwhile to do on the net. I was so bored that i went and created a neopets account for the heck of it. If i am even more bored... i may go and create a runescape account too. Oh, what is happening to me!
2) Go out somewhere on Sunday.

I'm Bored
Since I am bored, and i have finally found out how to upload videos, I will upload the video i was talking about.

Warning: This video is very umm.... crappy. You will most probably not understand a single thing. You will only hear a lot of noise and see us laughing. Like I said, it is in Hindi. If you, Oh Brave adventurer, still want to take the risk, you may, i will not be responsible for anything that happens.

Bleahh, Blogger is taking too long to upload the freakin video. So, i have cancelled it.

Now that i have cancelled uploading my first ever video, i will go make maggi and eat it(obviously)

My mum is making maggi for me. So now, i will list out what i will do in the june hols.(i happen to be forgetting that the exams come first.)

1) Read all the books in the twilight series!!!

2) Find something worthwhile to do as a hobby. I have realised that i have no such hobby that can effectively keep me interested when i am seriously bored. Apart from reading, of course.

3) Meet up with primary school frens

4) Go for a movie my choice with whatever company i prefer

5) Class outing! Hopefully!

6) Send emails to all my relatives and keep in touch with them.

7) Physics Solar Car Project

8) Try to cut down on my Maggi Intake

9) Go to the park more often to excercise

10) Look through the notes i recieved in sem 1. And read my Textbook for once. And try to do some background reading for the modules i will be taking in sem 2. (I know i hope too much)

11) Go to Pulau Ubin!! No holiday is ever complete without going to Pulau Ubin!!!!

Yup, that is it.

addictions
My addictions:
1) Harry Potter
2) Twilight
3) Maggi
4) The word 'crap'

I really am addicted to maggi. The moment i wake up, when my mum asks me what i want for breakfast, i say maggi. when i come back from school, the first thing i want is maggi. I don't care about the fact that you have to spend around 10 minutes to cook it, but it is really too nice for me not to want to eat it.

I used to eat around an average of 5 packets of maggi per week. But i realised that the more maggi i eat the more unhealthy i will be, coz maggi contains a lot of MSG. (i know they sell maggi without MSG, but i don't like that one.)

That is why, I banned myself from maggi for 10 days!!! I have finally completed the 10 days of not eating maggi! I will celebrate by eating maggi for breakfast tomo.

Yay, tomo is labour day holiday! I think i must start bucking up, the exams are here. Oh, and happy B'day aisyah! You are turning 15 this year right? Only one more year till you are 16!

And, today was Cross-country run day! We were supposed to run 3.5km. (Note that i said 'supposed') Well, what happened was that it rained! Yessss!!! The competitive boys and girls had just started the race when we were all told to assemble in the car park.

Me and Jun Qi were very bored, so were wasting time by just going to all random places and walking around all over the place in the rain. Lol! It was so fun!. Then, just before dismissal, we were supposed to sit together in two rows. we were playing with my squirt bottle and squirting water all over the place. Kelvin accidently made isaac wet his pants(he squirted water at an objectionable place) and Jun Qi squirted also accidently squirted a whole lot of water on me. Basically, it was a very wet day.

I came home, and was still bored so i just searched random videos on youtube. I have realised that there is very little to do on the internet. Especially if you don't like playing computer games, don't have msn and don't have any homework to make you feel guilty. Was searching for videos on harry potter.

I think robert pattinson looks better in harry potter than in twilight. Watching parts of the movie made me want to read the books again! Any book from the series is alright. i just want to read j.k rowling again! I know many people think that she is lame, but i don't!

Now i am going to play Wii. I am hungry, but my mum has not come home yet. will wait for her then will have lunch. Bye!

Why do I miss them so much?
Yesterday I was talking with my cousins(on the phone obviously, international call). It was nice to hear the voices of my grand mother, small mother, small father, big father, big mother, cousin brother and cousin sister.

Lol, we were just talking and talking and never got bored of it. The phone line was not very clear, so we had to keep repeating whatever we were saying. Once, i said "how is life?" and they heard "you bought a new knife?"

Nothing much actually, i really don't know why i am in a' i am missing you guys' mood right now? Most of the time when i have nothing else to do, i keep thinking about them. I really should get over my obsession of "i am missing them"

New developments: My cousin sis has holidays now, after the hols, she will be entering 6th grade. My cousin brother has gotten selected into the junior team for the Hyderabad regional cricket team! Wow, great news right? So many people want to get in and very few actually do. He will be playing in the zonal games and all.

That is it. Finally, a short post for once. Will have to urgently start on my math assignment.

Tra La La La La La
Just came back from school. Today was geog test. Will surely fail. I know it, I see it in the horizon, I smell it in the wind, I feel it in my veins, I know i will fail. Haha, it rhymes. I was spending the whole time since i came home yesterday from our family outing, today in the bus, before and during assembly, throughout other lessons, during Hindi, during break, to study for the geog test. But alas! As fate would have had it, all that was tested, was the ones that i could not remember properly!!!!!!!!! So sad :(

Anyway, today was also the Eng book review presentation for the Lord Of The F***s, (don't worry, it only stands for flies.) I think ours went pretty well, we had a lot of info. Though our presentation was too long and some parts were kind of repetitive, i still think we did well.

I watched DID yesterday. I missed Saturday's episode coz me and my sis were looking at the photos, remember? Anyway, it was Remo's turn to choreograph this week. It was quite nice. I liked the one where Jai and Sidhesh performed. It was funny and creative. Dancing and doing tricks with a chair. Though best performance awarded went to Sunita and Prince, i did not really like their performance.

Yesterday I told you I would be going on a family outing didn't I? We had a great time. It was a refreshing break from all my school, computer and everything else. We went to Bollywood Veggies, a farm. It was so beautiful and serene. After having lunch there, we went to Sungi Boloh Wetland Reserve. We were joined by our family friends then. Everything there was just sooooo nice and beautiful. We even saw this gigantic Malaysian Monitor Lizard.

Anyway, I just can't get this video we took in India out of my head. It is called rescuing Pratika. It is in Hindi, but i have so thoughtfully translated it for you. When i find out how to, i will post the video up here. (Go on, laugh at my computer illiteracy)

Scene: Pratika going down a slope of a mountain, crying.
Pratika: I am now going to commit suicide.
Me(director): Louder! Too soft, cannot hear.
Pratika (louder): I am going to commit suicide! (looks around funnily coz people are staring.)
Pratika(screams!): Somebody help me! (coz she is scared and realised she does not want to die)
Abhi and Me(running down the slope): No! Don't! We are there for you! Don't do this to us.
(we save her and then double up laughing coz it is just soo funny.)

Yes, i know it is lame, you don't need to tell me. But, you should just look at the video. It would help a lot if you understood Hindi and if you were there while the video was being shot. Then, you would understand what was so funny about it.

1.11 a.m.
nope, you saw it right.... it is 1.11 a.m. right now, well... no, it is 1.12 a.m., but that is not the point. the point is, what am i doing staying up so late on a saturday night, well no, so early on a sunday morning? the answer is, looking at pictures. yup, I have been spending the past two hours looking at pictures.

imagine this scene. 11.30 p.m., i am very sleepy, yawning, just finished my bio presentation and am about to go to sleep. (sleepily and wearily gets up from her seat, slowly walks like an old ammah to her bedroom which is the adjacent room and only like 5 steps away, taking each step as though it is draining every one of her remaining energies and all the 10 timeouts that i ate and digested is being converted to kinetic energy)

then, my sis says, "hey, Pari! look at this picture!"

i suddenly turn and run back to the study room like Ussain Bolt, see the picture, and start laughing my head off. It is one of the pictures we had taken in India and i have this really stupid facial expression.

and then, pari, the suddenly not so tired anymore girl says, " hey show me the other pictures we took in the wedding."

And this is how both of us ended up spending 1 and a half hour looking at all the pictures we took. Just before we went to India in the dec hols, my sister got a new digital camera as her birthday gift. Since then, she was inseperable from it. Anywhere we went, she would always take it there and start clicking away. she took nearly a thousand pictures(no kidding) in India.

So, she took it to India(obviously), and was clicking it there as well.

Scene: Me, eating food and looking very unglam.
Then, my sis comes up all the way to my face, and takes a very unglam pic of me.(this was the first pic that we were laughing at) Anyway, when she took all those photoes, it was kind of irritating. But actually, it was a good thing. Now, we can see all those photoes we took and ...umm.. well... reminscise about the time we spent there.

Brace yourself for another paragraph about me missing India and me wanting to go back there,

Caution, read at your own risk, the autharities (me) will not take any blame for boredem.

I really, really miss India! I want to go back there! We had so much fun there! Why are tickets to India so expensive! If they were like $2 or something, then i could go there every weekend. I think many peole find visiting relatives boring and all, but i don't. That was the main part of my India trip that made it so fun. I loved meeting all my relatives and spending time with them because, they are all funny and smart *ahem* like me! (ego-er) Especially spending time with my grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts, and relatives very far off. All the weddings we went to, were really nice. We could gorge ourselves with all the super-tasty food over there and play like crazy with all the children over there. We could just be as stupid as possible and not care because everyone would still like us.

End of paragraph

Anyways, continue with my life story. Then, at 1.10, my parents came home from their shopping. My parents do really late night shopping so they can miss the crowd. Today, they had gone to buy a bean bag chair for us to laze on! So at 1.30 in the morning, we began to fill up the bean bag with well..umm.. green beans. No, lah, only styrofoam beans.

Ok, that is it. I think i really should sleep now. Tomorrow, we are going on a family outing to as many farms and parks in Singapore we can. Will leave at about 8 and come home at around 4. Then, i will start mugging for the Geog Test.

Bye!

Songs!!!
I am listening to two new songs.

Eversleeping - by Xandria
White Flag - by Dido

These are the songs we actually use for our warm-ups in dance. I always liked the songs... but i did not know their names. Li Qing told me the titles of the songs yesterday. I searched for them on youtube and now i can listen to them. Yay!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Li Qing!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, after SYF, i have more free time than that is good for me. I have been wasting more time than i should, knowing that now i have some free time. An example would be the fact that i have written two pointless posts in the same day, for no apparent reason. I am blogsurfing right now, AKA slacking. I have not done a single bit of my homework since Thursday. How cool is that? Oh, and i just read Danielle's blog, and i just realised that exam is in TWO WEEKS time! How much cooler is that? Don't worry Danielle, you at least realised the fact earlier than me. Hmm.... maybe i should really be studying. I will start studying when i have had my fill of slacking. Bye!

Yay! Going to NParks
I am bored right now and i don't want to study, so i am going to write a post. I don't know what to post about...... Angela told me to try and make my posts shorter and more interesting.... so i will try to do so.... but i don't know what to post about! i think everything that happens in my life is interesting!!!

Haha, i have realised that i actually lead a very happy and care-free life. I may have some small problems here and there, but compared to the problems that other people face, i think many people would love to live a life like mine..... i think i am being very vague...... maybe i should list out everything that i love about my life/ me. Lol

1) I have a happy family!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love my sis, mum and dad!
2) i have good friends and nice classmates(ahem... anybody from 202 reading this?)
3) i have no problem with my studies
4) i have enough food to eat everyday, enough water to drink everyday, a good shelter above my head.
5) i am a very happy-go-lucky girl(who agrees, raise up your hand!)
6) I have a good sense of humour(i think so...)
7) a lot more that i am too tired too list out

Ok, i don't know why i am doing a self analysis sort of thing. Anyway, since i have started, i will continue. I am going to write two very important things that i have discovered about myself. These two things that i have discovered are very important and are the main things you should know about me.

1) I am very talkative. i can talk continuously for very long without stopping and am capable of boring people with my crap.
2) I am super-duper careless. there isn't a day when I don't trip on something, accidently knock something from somebody's hand, drop something i am holding, step on something important... etc

So these are te two important discoveries i have made!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! some other interesting facts about me include

1) i tend to talk to myself( Angela should know this very well)
2) i cannot write good english essays. my writing sucks. Do not ever expect me to be able to come up with a very nice piece of writing or anything. That is why, for english, most of the time i do not contribute anything. Nothing ever comes to my head. i kinda have a writer's block.
3) my laptop battery is very low at the moment so i am going to stop writing this post.

Bye bye!!!!!!!!!

I lurve NUSHS Dance!!!!
Today was supposed to be the first ''normal'' CCA session. By normal i mean a non-SYF/ open house training session. I mean a normal training session where we do warm-ups, shi nei turns(i donno how o spell it), splits and all. But, it was obviously not a normal session coz, today wang lao shi do not come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and today was celebration with food, yummm!!!!!!! so sad, Danielle made three cards, one for each of the lao shi's. we all signed on it and wrote a message. the card is soooo damn nice..... i love all the shiny stones on it.

Today was the celebration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we had sooo much food. A lot of CADBURRY stuff. and lots of sweets and chips. we did not have pizza or cake today.... i think we are going to have it when all the lao shi's are there. the food was super yummy!!!!!!!!!! i really lurveeee NUSHS dance club. And everybody there. especially the cadburry purples. Today the year 5's were halfway thru their warm-ups when Mr Suresh came in. He talked to us and congratulated us and all. He said that we have made a massive achievement and broken a phycological barrier and yadayadayada. Wow, listening to him made me feel all the more proud. i must agree with he actually said. I watched the Speech Day video. It was good, but i don't think we did well enough for SYF standard. But, like Mr Suresh said.... we did put in a lot of effort in the few days before SYF in order to improve soooo much.

My classmates might know that i have been singing the CADBURRY very often. You guys might be wondering why. well,,,, it is because it is the NUSHS SYFers song! We call ourselves the Cadburry Purples! I think the Cadburry thing started with somebody commenting that we looked like cadburry chocolates in our purple costumes and when Cookie Monster(wendie!!!) started singing the cadburry song, we just got hooked to it. It is a very nice song. Today, during the celebration, we all sang it out loud. If you go to the dance room, you can see the lyrics of the song written on the white board. So, here is the song on my blog, dedicated to all my dear Cadburry Purples and to Angela who taught me the lyrics of the song.

"Wouldn't it be nice if the world was CAD-BURRY!
Travelling in a car would be a tasty treat!
Changing gears would soon become a problem!
CADBURRY dairy milk is just so good to eat!
And when you reach your destination!
You will be greeted with an exclamation!
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE!!!!!!!"

Yuppy yuppy yup yup, i love all the Cadburry purples. Hope we will see each other more often. I am still hoping that for the treat which they talked about...... i hope they are really going to give us something nice. I EXPECT IT, OK! Not just some normal pizza party, i want a trip to somewhere overseas.

AISYAH(the pink dancer!, childish and short and lesbie senior, vurvy-1),

CHERYL(lesbie gay partner!!!, curvy-1, the super-good splitter),

CHUA(the tall, mature senior, the very nice senior),

DANIELLE(the short mature senior, the very nice senior!!),

GAYA(twin!! the short childish senior, cookie, wendie monster, the 'straight one'),

JOANNA(the short, mature senior, the very light senior, the very nice senior!!)

LI QING(the super sweet and very hard working girl, i love you!!! and i love the sweets that you
always bring too!!!!),

LU JUN(the mature scholarship senior, the one with the angel stamp),

NAR(twin!! the short childish senior, cupcake, lesbie!!!!, vurvy-2),

PARI(me!! the lesbie junior!!! curvy-2, the super-talkative one, the one who sings horribly)

TRICIA(the tall mature senior, the only flemming senior, the within temptation fan)

WENDELYN(wendie!!! hyper baby!!!! the cadburry song singer!! the 'straight one', the only year 1)

XI Tong(the mature scholarship senior, the one who got an award on speech day)

Here are the 13 Cadburry purples for you. YAY!!!! NUSHS Cadburry Purples RAWK! Oh yeah, we know we rawk! Oh and there is good news! I have made an achievement! I am improving my flexibility a lot! i can almost do a straight split with my right leg now! Yay!!! I owe this to Li Qing for motivating me! If she had not worked so hard and had made me feel guilty that i was slacking, i would not have pushed myself so hard. S now, i can finally (almost) do a split. Woots!

another normal day
Today was just another normal day. I will try to keep this post as short as possible.

Yesterday, just before i was about to sleep, i recieved an sms from danielle saying that Dr Hang wanted to meet the SYf-ers at 7.15 to congratulate us and announce our results to the school. This meant that I had to wake up earlier than usual, and leave earlier than usual too. Lucky that it was a wednesday and my dad was dropping me. since my sis needed to be in school early, and i needed to also, we left early.

I reached school like freaking early, like at 7.05. if that is not early, i do not know what is. Then, saw Li Qing, waited in the concourse for a while with Andy and Aris. then, Cheryl came. At around 7.13, we went to wait outside the General Office for the other dancers. Then, Ms Dong and Dr Hang came out of the GO and Dr Hang said that he recieved a mail from the management of SYF organizers, confirming that we got GOLD. So he congratulated us, said that we have proved that we may be a math and science school but are all-rounders blah blah blah. Then, he talked about a treat, a celebration for all our hardwork that we put in to get the award. At this i was like really happy! XD XD. Now when they say treat, i am expecting a trip to Malaysia or something along that line. Nothing less will be accepted, yes thank you. I am keeping my fingers crossed for something like that. Oooh, it would be so fun! When, i was in Primary School, i used to be in Indian Dance. That was one very cool experience i had. We also got a GOLD award for SYF that time and we got many other Challenge trophies and etc for our dance. As a reward, they sent all 17 of us girls to Cameron Highlands on a full expense paid trip with 3 accompanying teachers. Of course i had to pay around $150 for the visa and all the other immigration related stuff. But only $150 for a whole 3-day trip to cameron highlands and a stopover at KL is a great deal!!!! That too, alone only with your friends!!

So, i am really hoping for another trip or something like that. It would be soooooooooo much funn!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, this friday they were planning to go somewhere for a celebration party(yes, anotheer celebration. this is by ourselves, not by the school.) I think Chua had a very good idea, going to a foot spa is a great idea! let all the poor people with bruises on their legs relieve themselves! Ha ha Lol!

Oh, back to the story. Dr Hang said that he was going to announce the results to the school. So he told us to wait in the concourse while he announced. I saw Carly while we were waiting. It was funny waiting "backstage" well, no, "back grandstand" and listening to the assembly going as normal. Usually we would have been there amongst our classmates under the sun and all. But now we were waiting for Dr Hang to call us onto the grandstand. It was a queer feeling, like a bit of unexplained nervousness, for don't-know-what reason and a bit of pride tha we were going to stand in front of the whole school. It was like we were letting the school see our faces and let them know that we were the people who slogged soooo hard so that we could get that GOLD. Finally, i was some sort of official recognition for our efforts. I was very, very happy. So, anyway we were waiting as Dr Hang was giving the announcement. I noticed something while listening to Dr Hang's announcement. It was that Dr Hang tries to stretch his announcement, trying to put the main part, AKA the good news after a bit of suspense. he tells all the unimportant details first, then gives the main ones. It is like he is trying to build a suspense. Well, i have actually realised that it works!. We do not notice it, but we do get sorta hooked to the announcement to listen what they are saying etc.

Anyway after that we went onto stage, stood in a line, put on these huge smiles, took a bow then left. In short, the experience was (in aisyah's words) just extra-ing along beside Dr Hang while he talked and then come back. Anyway, now i see that more people i meet are congratulating me. I feel very happy when people do that (ah, pride, pride!) I took my english recount test today. I feel that i actually wrote much better than usual. Though i think that i did not really address the topic. I am not writing what the topic was incase somebody who has not taken the test reads my blog. (But which sad person apart from the people i know, would want to condemn themselves to reading such a blog like mine?)

Today was AXIS (it is supposed to be Da Vinci, but i am just too used to AXIS) We did our skit. Improvised on a few parts. I liked the last part, when i am supposed to sing out the quote in an oprah-styleand then Kelvin says "just shut up, dammit!" While coming back home, i bought Mango Madness. *Grins Guiltily* I know i should not be drinking it, since i still have a cold and cough, but i just can't resist the temptation. And i did not drink Mango Madness last week also!(i had SYF remember?)

Anyway, now is time for a confession. To tell you the truth, ever since Speech Day and SYF and my days of sickness, i just feel kind of a different person than i am usually. I just feel a bit different. I feel kindof detached from my classmates, don't really participate in their conversations and jokes. AARGHHH ! WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!!! I am also beginning to feel very guilty for a lot of the stuff. I had passed through this phase in my last days of stay in India and am passing through this phase again. Do you ever have this feeling when at the slightest bad thing that happens to anyone else apart from you, you begin feeling guilty and begin to find your fault in it somehow? Do you ever have this point in time when you feel that you should do everything you can in order to make everyone happy? Do you increase your expectations of yourself and feel that you do not deserve all the good things in your life so you must be a better person and work harder so that you will deserve it? Well, i am passing through this phase right now. In fact, the only time i am feeling close to normal is when i m with my SYF friends! I am really missing all those tiring SYF practices! The only good thing about mine passing through this phase is that i am feeling gulty enough to finish my homework on time and try not to waste time. I guess this is evidence that i am finally snapping out of it and turning back into the norml Pari again. Coz i am certainly not studying and am wasting time writing this uber-long post.

I really, really, really miss all the SYF practices and my SYF practice spammed schedule! It used to give me something to focus on, something to concentrate on, something to do! now even though i still have loads of homework projects and tests, i suddenly feel very not busy. especially with no 3 hour SYF practices thrice a week. And i am missing seeing my SYF friends like nearly everyday! now i only see them when i pass by them in school. I am remebering all the crazy time we spent together, our crazy Hi-Five! ritual, our crazy "wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadburry/ curvy-vurvy!!", our crazy gay partners, Curvy-vurvy'ism, cookie, cupcake and cookie monster! I am really missing all those times. Some people may wonder why i am soo obsessed with this SYF and my SYF friends and practices and the dance and so on. Well, it is because, we have spent so much of our time this year, on the SYF, spent so many practice sessions together, spent so many practice sessions slogging ourselves off. Through all this, SYF has become an undispensable part of our lives and we have forged very strong bonds with each other that are even stronger than the triple bond between nitrogen atoms in diatomic molecules. (i know my chem very pro)SIGH, talking about SYF is really making me miss everything.

Ok, i think this post is getting really long and i should stop typing anymore. I am going to go to the playground now, after nearly half a year! whippeee! anyway, i got my Hindi exam marks today..... i got 81%, an 'A'!!!! At least i am sure of at least one subject in which i get an 'A'. Hini has no CA, exam is 100%. So that is about it. BYE!

YAY! Feeling so hyper. We did NOT get COP for SYF. We got GOLD!
I got the news yesterday, during the 10 minutes break between the hindi paper 1 and paper 2. Nothing else to do, so i was just chatting with Nar, Gaya, and Pratika, who were in the classes just next to mine. We were obviously just talking about SYF lah. Then after that, i suddenly remembered that i had to call my mum, so i went back to the class to see my phone. I saw a new message. It was from Danielle, this was what it said:

"there was some miscommunication, we got gold for syf!!"

I saw this message and was like, dumbfounded. Then, i ran to the next class and then shouted to Nar and Gaya, we got GOLD!!! Lol, so drama-queen. Then, they ran towards me and i showed Nar the message. She just said "April's Fools?" Then anyway i left coz their paper 2 was about to start again. I could not believe and felt it was too good to be true. I came back home and then read the blogs of the other SYF people and IT WAS TRUE!!!!!!!!

Apparently there was some miscommunication, because when the SYF people(i was not in school) asled Ms Dong, then she said no results, meaning that the results have not come yet. But i think the SYF people mistook it for no award or something. Hence the whole confusion.

Anyway, i am so so so so so so so so happy!!!!!!!! It was really such a big drama. But, i like the surprise. i mean, getting the news that we ot GOLD after the bad news has made the feeling even better and all of us even happier. Yay! So, i guess we have proved to everybody(including ourselves) that we can do it!

I feel horrible :(
Hey! Guess what? Friday, well, i did not go to school, and I got this message from a fellow SYF-er. this is what it said.

"Heyy, for SYF we got COP ><"

So i saw this message and was like, no reaction at first. Just accepted it. SYF, COP, No award recieved COP, Certificate Of Participation, also known as toilet paper by your primary schoolmates. this is what you got for SYF. SO yah, basically that i just forgot about it for a whilwe and continued doing my work. Then my sister went for tution, and my dad had gone to office.

Then, my mum woke up. Then, i told her. "Hey, mum, we got COP for SYF." Then, i don't know when, but i just broke down. I was sad not because we got COP, but because, all the efforts that we had put in had gone down the drain. All the pain that we had gone through all the bruises that we got, they were all useless. We had had practice like just so often. Firstly, with the year 2 being so stressful and busy, i usually came home very late and had only a some days when i was not in school. Then, out of those few days, 3 days a week we had SYF dance practice, the kind of practice that just drains off all your energy, then you come home super exhausted with muscle pains and all that, but you still have to finish off all your school work. You have to hand in your homework, your practicals, the tons of projects, study for the quizes and tests. The remaining free time is taken by project meetings.

Basically, I am sure that most of the SYF-ers would have faced the same problem as me. All this effort we put in effected us academically. But, I am proud of the fact that despite having so many stuff to do and nearly turning crazy, I actually pulled through this ordeal. Having so many things to do and having so little time has actually helped me to become more effeient in doing my work and managing my time better. But, i still regret that despite us sacrificing so much of our time, sweat and efforts, we did not even get a bronze.

Actually, to tell you the truth, we were aiming for a silver. this was the school's expectation of us because our seniors got a silver last time so that was what was expected. I obviously wanted to get a gold(who doesn't?) but i knew it was not really possible because we were not all that good.

But, there is still one thing whch bothers me a lot. Because, even though i agree that we did not perform a well as the other schools, i don't think we did so badly that we deserved only COP.

(Yes, i know this post is a bit crappy, but bear with it. I am not sure what to say actually. and yes i am very sad because we have worked hard for it, but have not really achieved anything.)

SYF!! Today!!!(a post i wrote but dd not bother to post)
SYF is over today! Yay! Finally some free time. Will miss all the nice SYF moments. During all the training sessions i grew really close to all my friends. So, the performance, well.... tell you the truth.... nevermind, i will just start the whole story from the beggining.

*clears throat*

So, anyway, we were supposed to be in the dance room by 7.00 am, 15 april, wednesday. Well.. 6.30 actually. For those who live near enough, 6.30, but for those who live somewhere far far away, somewhere like tampines or something, 7.00. But anyway, since i was a very poor thing who had fever, i reached school at 7.00. Actually, I left home at 6.53(my dad dropped me so it was ok.)

Then when we reached the dance room, we began putting on all the make-up and blah blah blah. While we were putting eye shadow, mascara etc, we could here the rest of the school singing the national anthem. Apparently, for ACE they were having level bonding session. A mass game of chop chilli chop or something. Anyways, I was putting on my contacts lenses hastily so i could claim the toilet cubicle before someone else took over my territory. It was a very epic thing. Since i was in such a hurry, I did not even wash my hands before putting them on. First, i put on my right contacts, then my left one. then i got up and began walking all around the danceroom, picking my things which were strewn all over the place. meanwhile, my eyes were constantly tearing. Then all of a sudden, i realised that i could not see clearly! My right contact lense had dropped out of my eye! Aaargh! so i began a wild goose chase to search for. it. luckily, i found it just before somebody was about to step on it. after i put on my right one, 8i realised that my left one had dropped off tooo! anyway, i found it and wore it happily ever after.

After we were ready, we went to the concourse to run through the dance one more time. We practiced many times and were sweating ike xiao. Then when we were looking all unglam with those sweaty face, smudged make-up and all, this man comes and starts taking photoes of us. Unglam, Unglam. Worse still, that was the time when ACE got over and some of my classmates were in the concourse and actually saw me. I wonder how funny i looked. Then, we went to dry ourselves, using tissue and all.

Finally, the bus came and we rode till UCC. Till now, i had not felt anything. But then, suddenly, i began feeling nervous and all. i remembered all the super pro SYF performance videos we had seen of the other schools. Then, i compared it with our school's performance and i was like, oh no! Why did i think that we could get a gold. now it seemed like almost impossible.

This feeling worsened, when we got to the venue. For one thing, the first thing we saw was that all the other participating schools had absolutely BEAUTIFUL and stunning and striking costumes. i looked at their costumes, then looked at ours and it was like, ours was super simple costume, just a top and a bottom. Also, their make up was Gorgeous. all their hair was also tied up neatly. our make-up was minimal, and our hair was just tied up in buns. We also had the smallest team of 13 people.

Looking at the level of competition, i sort of lost hope of ever getting a Gold and decided that we must try our best to get a silver. Our dance should be good enough for a silver, even if our costume and etc is not good enough. Since we were the first performance of the day, we sat in the holding area, and began doing light warm-ups and stretches and touched up on our make up. then, at 9.35, some people came up to us and led us up till the stage. we waited at the sides of the stage, waiting for the judges to arrive so we could perform.

At 10, the judges arrived. So we stood and got ready while the announcer was announcing something. I was praying that everything will go on fine and no mistake will happen. So, the judges then took their seats, everything was ready and the lady backstage told us," girls, you may take your positions now."

So, that was it. we performed. At first i was not so nervous, then as i was doing my third step, then i saw one of the judges write down something. Then, i immediately got all scared wondering what she wrote. so i paid more attention to all my steps. But, i just gotmore nervous and more nervous. I stumbled in one or two parts. So, it was basically just screwed-up. I was just super disappointed in the way i danced. Because, according to me, i did not think I did well.

But after the performance, we met wang lao shi. she said that we did quite well, the best so far but still, i am not happy with how we danced. Then, when we asked ms dong how we did, she just shrugged and said, you guys did your best that is more than enough for me. This depressed me like crazy. I was emo-ing and was saying things like oh, i screwed that part up, i screwed thhis part up. blah blah blah. (Sorry Nar, Gaya and Aisha I was really being a wet blanket at that time. Sorry for being so stupid)

After our performance, we went to watch the other school's performance. At this, i just got all the more depressed. They did just so darn well. They pwned us like anything. Seeing their perfrmance, i was like oh no! if this is the standad, How well will we do? I immediately lowered down my expectation to a bronze.

So, actually the dance was not a very well done dance. I think it was 100% not the 110% that was expected. Hopefully, we will get a bronze award.

the past two days
Great, this is absolutely wonderful (sarcasm)

I have not blogged for the past few days, so i will blog according to date.

13/4/09
On Monday I came back from the last dance practice before SYF, with zero energy and feeling like sleeping that very moment. I was complaining of head ache and lethargy and was complaining that i was too weak to do any Homework. Unfortunately, I still had the geog report to finish and had to revise for my bio quiz. Ah! Stress! Stress! So i finished my geog report at around 11.30, and then began to revise for my bio quiz. I was reading, and rereading the same notes over and over again but my mind was totally blank and not a single word got through my mind. Then, I just fell asleep until i woke up again, only long enough to i packed my bag and slept on my bed. I am a very early sleeper and cannot bear staying up late. if i sleep any later than 11.00, the next day I will be very, very blur and cannot concentrate properly.

14/4/09
When, i woke up in the morning, again i had headache, and still had no energy to do anything. I obviously overslept. Thankfully, my dad agreed to drop me that day. I went to school, and was not able to concentrate on my work. I even almost fell asleep during the bio prac, and just slacked. All my group members did all the work. (Sorry, i know i was slacking.) I never dare to fall asleep during bio coz it is a very important subject. During break, i fell asleep again while my geog group members discussed about the project. I thank the person who brought that sleeping mask to school. Thanks to that i could sleep peacefully and could at least well, stay awake through the entire day. During P.E we did Sit and Reach. I got a 'B' woohoo! This is the first time i was not borderline 'C'. (there is a chance I may get gold again this year.)Anyways, I knew i was not feeling well so I left P.E early to go home. It was also SYF the next day. So, I had to conserve my energy so that i could put on a good show.

I went home, and immediately fell asleep. When i woke up, i had a burning fever, head ache, sore throat, cough, cold, running nose. So, i went to the doctor. I was seriously worried that the doctor would not allow me to go for SYF. Anyways, the doctor gave me an MC for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I did not know that my condition was that bad! Anyways, he gave me non-drowsiness inducing medication so that i would not be drowsy while performing the next day.

Many people would have been happy at the prospect of being able to miss school for three consecutive days. (talk about long weekends.) But, I was unhappy. This was because this is the busiest week i have ever had and missing this week would mean that i miss out on a lot of important lessons. Furthermore, i had to hand in a lot of homework. I also had to go for geog project meeting. Also, on thursday and friday, i was supposed to have my last two hindi lessons before the hindi exam. Anyways, i sheduled a makeup lesson from 1-3 on friday. this means that i can also hand in my English and my Math file, within the deadline.

Ya, so that is about it. I will be writing about SYF in the next post! (Is this a long post or what?)

Stress! And a lousy mood
Bleahh! I am under sooooo much stress. Can't remeber ever being sooo stressed since PSLE. For one thing, ever since term 2 started, we have been bombarded by projects and etc. No, we don't have much homework. It is only the projects. Projects can be a real pain in the @$$. Especially if all of them are due in the same week, if some of them involve building terrariums, building models, doing presentations, writing a long essay. Then, after you finish all these tasks, then you realise that you still have those horrible, horrible group reports to do. Group reports are the worst part of the projects. It is the part where you have to waste precious time and energy crapping a few pages full of stuff describing your screwed-up model, tell us the material you used, the money you wasted, etc, etc, etc.

Furthermore, I have SYF too. SYF happens to be in the same week as when all the projects are due. With all the Dance practices and all, i am left with very little time to do anything else like homework, and revising for tests etc. But, i must not complain. Effort must be put in for dance.

To top all these, i have a Hindi Exam on Saturday(18 April) I have absolutely no time to study. this exam will affect my CAP a lot because for hindi, exam accounts for 100% of my grade. I also have a bio and geog quiz. My worst two subjects. I always imagine that life ould be easier without these two subjects.

So, mix all of these together and you get the perfect concoction for the most stressful week of my life.

P.S. when i am in a better mood, and have some time, i will write a post on that Easter thing i went t0o with Angela and Kelvin. It was very nice and interesting.

crapping as usual
Lol!

I have been going around to other people's blogs and just reading them. I find reading blogs kinda interesting. It is like hearing their "inner" voice. Lol, that sounds so cheam and makes you put off blogging. But that is true, i mean it is like reading what they really feel, even though they do edit stufff while posting so that it will sound all nice and people will not be bored to death by their oh-this-is-my-long-and-boring-life-story posts. I wonder what people think when they read my blog. I wonder if they think it is a oh-this-is-my-long-and-boring-life-story kind of blog.

Yesterday after Speech Day, i came back home and slacked, then watched Slumdog Millionaire. I loved the movie, but i fail to seee why it won an oscar, though it is much, much ,much better than an average film. I liked the child-stars better than the oldies. For a full critical report analysis of the movie including a review on why-I-love-Dev-Patel-even-though-his-ears-are-super-huge, read my sister's blog. And by the way, my dear sister, why did you change your blogskin? i preferred the previous one.

Today, was Good Friday holiday! Had dance prac today from 9-1. We polished up all the parts that were not synchro and all that stuff. But i still have some problem with them semi-circle part. Either i am in the wrong position, or my cloth is all twisted, etc. But we are improving loads! I think those who watched the Speech Day performance will agree that though the dance is good, it is still a bit raw at some parts. we need to improve on transition between positions. But, today i was like super-sleepy and had like zero energy left. I came back home, had lunch and then fell asleep till 6.30(don't usually sleep in the afternoons), woke up to the sounds of my sister and her friend playing Wii. I don't know how long it has been since we last played on the Wii. Not since last year i guess, Lol.

Now, i am blogging. Should be finishing up the english book report, have to stay up tonight to finish it of. Tomo am going with Angela and Kelvin to some Easter programme at Kelvin's church. After dance pratice, will have lunch together and then will go to the church.

Aaaahhhh! Very stressed, just realised how much stuff i have to do in the next week! Let me list it out

In the Weekend:
1) English book report. Detailed analysis of two scenes, By today night or tomo
2) Dance practice tomo, 9-12
3) Attend the Easter thingy, tomo
4) Hindi Homework By Monday
5) Geog project, have to crap 2 pages about Lot's View Reigon By This Sunday
6) English book report, the narrative thingy, about the POV, By Friday
7) Physics Homework By Thursday
8) Dance prac on Monday
9) Bio quiz on Tuesday
10) SYF, the real competition! on Wednesday
11) Hindi mid-year Exam! Saturday

Oh, Freak, gonna die from work and stress overload. Year 2 is seriously shit, man. Never had so many projects and quizzes, tests competoition and CCa stuff last year, The worst thing is that the seniors said that Year 2 was the slackest Year. Thanks alot, you guys made my day.

Speech Day!

I am going to write down every single thing that happened today during speech day. Brace yourself for a very, very long post.

Anyway, my day started of with a seriously retarded dream I had. I was staying awake the whole night, nervous about the next day’s performance, and did not sleep properly, then when I woke up, I glanced at the clock and I realized that I had overslept and was like super-duper late. Jumped out of the bed and then like ran to school in my pajamas.(Yes, I Know how crazy it is that somebody runs 8km in their pajamas.) Then, I reached like a minute before we were supposed to go on stage, and then like ran out of the curtain onto the stage. Mysteriously, I was no longer in my pajamas but in my costume. Then the dance started and halfway through, while dancing, I fell asleep coz I was so sleepy, and then when I woke up, I was in my bedroom.

It was only 7.00. nothing in my dream was actually true. But, my dream felt so real, you know, sometimes when I am nervous about something big is going to happen the next day, (e.g. . PSLE, performance or exam) when I sleep, I have these seriously ridiculous dreams, which feel very real.

Then, I got ready to go to school, and my dad dropped me. We were supposed to reach the dance room at 8.30, because we were not sure whether there was going to be any back-up rehearsal. It turns out that there was not any. So, we were like 4 hours early. Anyway, we practiced a bit more, and tried to synchro our steps. Meanwhile, we got to see the men put up all the decorations. Especially the helium balloons! They were very beautiful. The men put up all the decorations super-fast and actually finished putting up near a hundred and fifty balloons(I think, my estimation is very bad.) in around 45 minutes.

We were like fooling around in the dance room, doing all the stupid things, and practicing at random. Then, we went to put on our costumes. After that, Angela came! She was actually backstage, checking all the instruments for the Chinese Orchestra. She came into the dance room and just wiled away time with us. You know, she told me that the CO members left their music sheets in the hall with their instruments and in the morning, half the music sheets were gone. So sad, wonder what they did.

Then, soon after, all the students assembled in the hall, and the noise level began creeping up and up as more and more people filled the hall. Along with the noise level, even my heart rate began going up. I was like feeling very nervous you know.

Then, too soon for my liking, the time for us to go onstage came! Since our dance was the opening performance, we stood at the side of the stage, listening to the MC’s welcome the guest of honour, and then they began talking about our dance, telling us things about the dance that even we did not know. Stuff like that the dance was supposed to show the struggles of life, portraying perseverance, fighting spirit…blah, blah, blah.

After they stopped crapping about our dance, we ran into the stage to take our starting positions. My heart was beating even faster and I was trembling like crazy. So, at the starting part, I was like very nervous, not smiling etc. But, after a while I realized that this was just like any normal rehearsal. I was feeling very nervous for no reason. I was not really looking at the audience, so I had no reason to be scared of anything. So, I suddenly was not nervous any more and just tried to dance as well as I could. I did not majorly screw up any part, I guess. I think it went quite well. But, since I did not see the dance myself, I cannot assume anything.

After the dance was over, the feeling was just indescribable. It was not a really tangible feeling. It was just sub conscious feeling. And I felt like something was bubbling out of my heart. (Yes, I know it sounds all weird.) It was every possible feeling mixed together, relief, anxiety, happiness, sadness, frustration, excitement etc, etc, etc.

Then, after the last bow, we made our way offstage, and like practically ran to the dance room. Once in the dance room, we were jumping up and down and were muttering stuff like,’ It is over, It is over! Only SYF left!’ Then, Dong laoshi came into the room and we were asking her questions like,”How was the performance? Was the lift okay?...yadayadayada.” Then, we were saying stuff like “Somebody stepped on my cloth! My cloth was stuck! I tripped on my cloth!” (oh and umm, Aisha, sorry, I think I was the one who stepped on your cloth.)

After that was the usual post-performance stuff lah, taking out make-up, releasing hair from the bun, changing costume, taking out eye contacts. Haha, you know, I counted that I had put 16 hair pins in my hair! At least not as bad as Gaya who had stuck 27 hair pins in her hair. (Did I mention that my bun was like super huge?)


After all these stuff, we went to eat at the canteen. After that, we went to the theatratte(sp?) to watch the live feed of the performance. Only got to watch the CO and the choir performances. (I saw you on video, Angela!)

Then, went to buy mango madness, while all the students were released. Just stood there chatting with classmates. Then, I went to watch the exhibition. It was quite ok, lah. The, me, Angela, Kelvin and Justin went into the library for the dinner held for the award recipients. Sorry, correction, me and Kelvin sneaked into the library for the dinner held for award recipients, like Kelvin and Angela. Lol. Enjoyed the air-con and just chatted a bit more, slacking and dilly-dallying, wasting time.

After that, went home, and was wondering how nice it would be if I had a Time-out to eat, then opened the freezer door, and lo and behold! There was a fresh, unopened, new packet of time-out! Lol! Wish comes true. Then, sat down at the computer and wrote this upper-duper longt post

Ta Da!

Speech day!!!!!!!!
AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!

Oh No!, Oh Freak! Speech Day performance is like in less than 15 hours away, and furthermore, ours is like one of the first few performances.

Ok, my heart is like beating very fast, from now itself. Wonder how fast it will beat during the actual performance. I am also having this very funny feeling in my stomach, as though my stomach is actually a washing machine, and everything inside is actually going round and round. Oh, and my heart is like being dragged into my stomach to be digested by the evil forces that are in my stomach(when this happens, i will no longer be vegetarian, i guess).

Like, I donno why I am so nervous. Probably coz it is my first non-self choreographed performance in school. Bleahhh! And like my classmates also happen to be sitting near the front- left, where they will have this absolutely clear view of me. Hopefully nothing will go wrong and i will do ok. As long as i dance at least as well as i have been dancing in the rehearsal, it should be fine, i guess.

Ok, let me try to cool down a bit. Time to get ready for tommorow and get some refreshing sleep before the dance.

Focus, Focus, everything will be fine,

Emo, :(
Hmm.... for the past few days I have been emo-ing. I don't know what your definition of emo-ing is, but if means having this heavy feeling in your heart, having a constant sense of doom looming over your head, feeling it is very hard to smile, then yes, i am emo-ing.

I donno why I am emo-ing. Probably coz SYF is coming nearer and I am getting more nervous by the day. Hopefully i will overcome my nervousnous by speech day. Must put up a good performnance so that the school will not put dance as a recreational CCA. All the best to everybody, ok?

Books!
Nowadays i have been reading tons of books, and have obviously been wasting loads of time. But reading books is fun! Like all you have to do is just pick up one book, use your hands to do something that is usually called flipping pages, use your eyeballs to move over the words and do something also known as seeing, let your lazy brain understand what your eyes are seeing, and that is it, you disappear into this totally new world where you are drawn into the character's lives, live through the eyes of the characters, and typically just forget everything. The only side effects are- wasting time, not being able to get out of the character's minds, excessive time spent dwelling on the story.

Anyways, i think i will make a list of the books i read so far these few weeks.
1) Twilight
2) On Beauty
3) My sister's keeper
4) Lord of the flies
5) The Devil On Lammas Night
6) In the cards: Life

The books I am reading now
1) The Island Of Dr Moreau
2) City Of bones

The books i want to read
1) New moon
2) Eclipse
3) Breaking Dawn
4) Chronicles of Narnia
5) The series of unfortunate events
6) In the cards: Love
7) In the cards: Fame
8) Forever

The books I should be reading but am too lazy to(do you see a pattern here?):
1) My bio textbook
2) My physics Textbook
3) My chemistry Textbook
4) My Geography text book

Yes, I do know that some of the books are like seriously outdated and some of the books are average preteen books, but most of the books are sensible at least. And all the books are interesting and do keep you reflecting. I really think that City of bones is interesting and i really want to finish reading it. But my family is like dead set against me reading any book. Well, i don't blame them, i mean just see how much i am distracted by books from studies, and i am always like inseparable from any book i read, like i carry it anywhere, to the dining table, to school, to practically everywhere.

P.S. Going to try and sneak the book out from where my parents hid it. Wish me all the best.

Nothing much
Ok, i came home from dance practice at 1.30 and till now(it is 5 now) i have been sitting in front of the computer, not doing a single thing, just reading other people's blogs and facebook and etc. Had vanilla ice cream (cornetto!(sp?) just now. Yummy!

Wore my contact lenses to dance practice today. I just realised that my eyes are actually super-big. I look scary without my glasses. Especially if i stare straight at you. Muah ha ha ha. Dance practice started off a bit umm..... lag, laoshi marked our dance (yes, you can mark a dance, it is similar to marking an exam i think) and gave us 40/70. Pretty scary right? Then after that she made us all scared by telling us that our dance was to be the first SYF performance of the day. She also sorta scolded (she did not really scold us, just quietly showed her disappointment) I kind of became a bit ashamed so i tried to put in more effort.

Anyway, we wore our costumes today, and also practiced, I think we did loads better in our costumes, though I must say that i think the costumes are a bit revealing(?). I mean it is not outrageously revealing or hardly any clothes or that sort of thing, it is just that it makes you feel kind of uncovered.

That is it for today, nothing much to write about. Oh and i am going to watch Confessions Of A Shopaholic in West Mall later. Whipee! And I am also going to get my new glasses. I wonder how I will look in them. Hmm? Will find out soon.

Dance practice and dinner
Ok, practice was tiring as usual lah.... was exhausted like crazy. today practice as not so productive though..... I don't think we did well enough. :( must put in more effort and must concentrate more. only 10 days left, ok?

Anyways after practice we had this post practice dinner thingy where we walked to Clementi and went to buy food there. There were eleven of us. Three of us ate Mac food while the others ordered KFC. After waiting like very, very long, we finally got three tables free. We sat according to age. year 1s and 2s together, followed by year 3s and then year 4s. Since Li Qing went to sit with with the year 4s, there was an extra empty seat at the table where Cheryl, Wendy and I sat.

So we just talked about how Cheryl's invisible bf was sitting there and etc. then we were like talking to thin air pretending that somebody actually sat there. Lemme write the conversation here.

Me: Halo Air, i am cheryl's friend. how do you do. let me tell you that cheryl is a very nice girl. you will enjoy her presence very much. I must say your taste in girlfriends is very good

Cheryl: we broke up.

Me: (looking at the thin air angrily) How dare you break up with Cheryl! she is thousands times better than you! You stupid, crazy.......

Cheryl: he did not break up with me, i ditched him.

Me: How dare you not be good enough for Cheryl! By the way, are you free tomo evening?

Cheryl: anyways, i was planning to date water. what do you think about my choice?

Me: it is a very good choice. better than some other people. (gives thin air a scathing look)

So this was the pointless conversation we were having thanks to the courtesy of thin air and an empty seat. the same conversation took place with CO2 and coke and me and Cheryl, with switched roles.

Yup that is about it. Next week will be very stressful. rehearsal everyday after school. :(

Contact Lenses!!!!!
Yay!!!!

Yesterday in the middle of the chem practical my mum sent an sms and told me that my contact lenses were ready and that we were to go to West Mall, Eyelink to collect them at 5.30. the lady was going to teach me the proper way of wearing, cleaning them etc. Since it would be a bit hard wearing them for the first time I was supposedly to take around an hour and a half to learn how to wear, clean etc.

Anyways, I took only like 45 minutes to learn how to wear them. Haha, so pro right? The teacher said it was probably cause my eyes were big. Lol. Actually, it does not hurt or anything to wear contacts. The first time you put them on you will have a slightly uncomfortable feeling. It actually makes your eyes feel itchy. Your eyes also begin to tear. With my runny nose, i actually looked like i was really crying. Lol. It wa actually pretty wierd when i wore my contacts. Since i wear one eye before the other, it was wierd when i could see clearly through one eye and blurry through the other.

That is it. I am just wasting my free MT period to write this. (I am bored, ok!)

La la la la la. I am just missing India. Just looking through the pics i took in India with all my cousins and relatives. I wish I could meet them again. I had so much fun with them last time in India. Whether it was all those stupid and crazy but fun videos we took, the christmas party we planned together, attending all the weddings, eating pani puri (a super spicy indian dish) at any roadside shop, playing on the terrace, fooling around with the dogs, the time my dog contracted a fever, when we went to gether on picnics and all.

*SIGH* It was just so fun.

I am missing you guys soooooo much, seriously. Abhi and Viva, come to Singapore soon! Then we can have so much fun just like we did in India (though there will be no pani puri, we can still continue beach puri! Remember Beach Puri? all those silly re-enactments of those crazy advertisments and movie scenes we did? We (me and Pratika) still have those videos. I wanna meet you soon!

Slacking again as usual, what is new in that?
Ok, so I am slacking again. I have been slacking for like the whole week. Well probably i have rested enough and should seriously get back to studying. Umm....you know, today some people in my school got into a fight or something, and one of them actually threw a bag down five stories into the pond. I am not sure tis was exactly what happened, but something along this line occured. Sadly, I was not one of the lucky witnesses to this scene. I only witnessed the aftermath, the guy fishing out his bag and all his papers from the pond. Poor guy, i hope his GC or laptop was not in the bag.

Just now i was having this 'Just-Be-As-Stupid-As-You-Can' session with my sister where you are supposed to get into this naturally stupid mode by default and laugh like crazy at every single thing, do stupid things like wearing the funniest clothes and put on stupid hairstyles and take photoes. Sessions like these just make you go into a high.

So, i was like knocked out of my sense because i was soooo high. Then i sobered down a bit(but was still very high) when I chatted with my best primary school friend. We were talking about hindi songs, went on to april fool's day, with me mentioning i cut my hair, with her saying she wanted to meet me and then said she could meet me on hindi exam day, 18th april(aaargghhhh only 2 weeks left!) then it went on to lame jokes and then ended of with her going to wach a hindi serial and me finishing 0.000000001% of my homework.

Ya, so i just had dinner and am about to go to sleep. Bye!

Happy April fool's day!
Yay! Today is April fools day! I was planning to play a trick or a prank on somebody, but sadly, i could not think of anything that was not lame. I remember last year Angela and I used to think up of pranks to play on CG. LOL! It was so funny. Some of the pranks were seriously funny. I am missing Year 1 already.

Anyways, Happy B'Day to Justin.

So we have this terrarium project where we have to design our own mini ecosystem. I have no idea absolutely what to do. Just suggest some ideas as to what we can do. So, we need to add creepy-crawlies. Actually, i am not scared or i do not hate creepy crawlies, unless i am forced to touch them, like for this project, i would rather just leave them alone. but sometimes i do get freaked out. For the terrarium we also need soil so we were planning to dig up some soil from the school.

So we armed ourselves with spoons and were about to start digging when i rememebered that i still have some extra soil at home. This was the remaining soil after we changed all the soil in the plant pots. So now, it is my job to lug that super-heavy pot of soil to school tomo. Imagine me carrying that pot of soil while walking to school, carrying it in the crowded bus, etc. Bleahhh!

So now i have to suffer.

S.I.P. (Suffer In Peace)

Swirls 'n' Twirls :D
