Half the day with nadine

today was goooduh! as usual, started the day with tennis, i played really bad (dunno why) n my the balls i hit loved the net n seldom went over, only towards the last hour, i finally played very well, lost to coach n alex 6-10 n 5-10 respectively. though my score doesnt seem that great, it is a great achievement for me cos they are big men n are tennis experts, though alex made a few mistakes :) . nadine too made great progress.
after tennis, the two of us went to heartland mall (again...) cos nat n noelene were eating at home. we went to the hawker centre instead of mac's cos i was rather tired of the food there. nadine n i ordered fishball beehoon n of course, with ou chou. u noe we are so similar in so many ways that im scared. lol. we have spotted similarities between the two of us since pri 6, like our character during d.i.s.c (sec 1 camp), our interest in the same dramas at the same time, what we like to eat eg DURIANS etc. btw i took 2 bowls of beehoon that i could not finish up the fishballs, so no choice but to da bao home, nadine too couldnt finish her fishballs n da pao home too...
then we were wondering where to go n what to do. then we went to ts n window shopped for japanese n korean dramas/movies. very wu liao huh. then also went to music junction to look at music cds, listened to the singapore dramas ost, some of them were very nice. next we decided to go to nadine's house to use her com.
at her house, it was great cos her com could really load videos sooooo fast! i let her listen to the huan zhu ge ge ost zi cong you le ni n told a very hilarious joke. harhar. in turn she introduced me a really nice jap song which was coincidentally the ost for 1 litre of tears! then we watched on chruchyroll tear for you, a jap movie, the show was not bad.. then we watched a bit of taegukgi aka brotherhood of war, cos there was won bin in it. :) lastly we watched some clips of my ks camp last year. man...i felt so nostalgic! they very were so funny that nadine laughed along with them. lol..... i really miss ks n its activities, hope to be back in it soon!
nadine is such a great friend who noes how to keep me company very well! :)
okay, time to go... :)
see ya!

Fun filming! :)

today was greatie! no school n the whole morning was spent being on task, filming for a project for innovation week, my group's topic was public display of affection among teenagers. though it is not really related to english n lit, it is a discussable topic, so, so be it! yesterday, we attended a talk, or rather a deary lecture on things to look for while filming a clip. then we split up to our groups. this project is special cos it is the first time my clique doesnt do a project as one, instead, diane n i are in a different group from the rest, thanks to the split in A n B classes! but after completing the project today, i felt that it wasnt so bad working with sarah ling, penelope n sarah chang, and of course diane, in fact i really enjoyed myself!
our clip had to be 3-5 mins long, and i was the one filming the video down. thanks to sarah c for providing the cameras! we met at compass point at 8.30am, the place was as dead as night! the only stalls open were mac's n burger king. we decided to eat breakfast at mac's since diane had a very nice mac's coupon that allowed us to have a free burger on top of a meal bought. so we bought 2 meals, 4 burgers, 2 milos, 2 hash browns. diane ate the hash browns while rest of us had proper burgers. lol. then after eating we started doing the script. diane n sarah were confirmed as the presenters.
we headed to the entrance of compass point to fish for people to interview. (fish?) the first few ppl we asked said that they were in a hurry or just walked away, ignoring us. then finally a middle-aged guy agreed to do it quite reluctantly, i was then encouraged. he gave really short answers... then we went on to ask other ppl, all middle-aged n elderly. there was the cute little old uncle with his toddler grandson, when we approached him, he nudged his grandson n said, "look... girls..." lol... then when he answered a question which goes- what do u think influenced the teenagers actions, he said, "very bad influence, very bad... tsk tsk." i had try to keep my laughter, diane too was giggling.
later on, we met this security guard and he said that we had to get permission from the authorities if we wanted to interview ppl in compass point, i was like what the.... so we had no choice, left compass for heartland mall.
at heartland, met uncle gideon n interviewed him, he was great, he was very friendly n cooperative towards us, and why was that so? cos he knows me! then we were wondering if we could interview ppl, cos we didnt want to get questioned by some security uncle. then we decided to go to mac's cos we felt that it would be okay interview ppl there.. so went there, met olivia, who is the guitar club president. then my group wanted to ask me to interview her. i was like, i dont even noe her and im too shy to ask... n the end, diane asked her prefect friend. thanks diane! after that, we asked a very funny sec 3 girl, she asked us to give her the pointers n she will say them in our interview. lol.
but i must say heartland was a better place cos of the grassy place outside the mall, somewhere opposite mac's. there was where we filmed the beginning, interview questions n the ending of our video. so that reminds me of what that johan guy in the talk said about having a beginning, middle, end in a video. gosh im so lame... haha. there was the NGs came rolling in. we had at least 40 NGs, all very funny ones though! haiz, all because of diane n sarah l, (more of diane's fault! she kept looking away to somewhere far away.) hope most of the NGs will be shown in our video!
we have completed the filming, n now sarah c will be editing the video. great job everyone! :) im so glad that we were focussed on our task n did it well. hope that the teachers will appreciate the effort we have put it!
okay! that's all for today folks! byebye.
see ya!

Day off

on sat, woke up with a slight sore throat. then went for tennis from 7.45 to 10.00 in the morning. went out for lunch after tennis at heartland mall with nadine, natalie, noelene(so cool, all their names start with n and end with an e! not to mention nicole n nichelle also who are natalie's and noelene's sisters) then after that went to sans bookshop to rent 3 nicholas sparks books! whoooo! so happy, they are a walk to remember, a bend in the road n the guardian. nicholas sparks' books are really good always with a touch romance in every one of them. that is what i like, romance in books. :) after that, my dad fetched the two sisters home n nadine come to my house to watch the drama 1 litre of tears, it is a commendable japanese weepy that makes u cry almost every episode. though i've watched it. nadine hadnt, so i watched it with her again. btw she was the one who recommended this drama to me n it ended up that i watched it before her. after nadine left my house at 3 for her tuition, i stared reading the front bit of a walk to remember, it was really hooking n made me want to read on, however i was too tired cos i didnt have a good night rest n considering that i would be out for the rest of the night, i went to sleep..
my rest was disrupted not long after, i had to go for 'my church's' anniversary. went to roland restaurant near parkway parade. there i ate dinner, n i basically spent most of my time with natalie listening to songs through a mp3 player n reading my book - a walk to remember. i wasnt bothered with the stupid programme that was in store for the anniversary. i had so much fun with nat, we were like a pair of really crazy people. we went to buy the korean drama ost cd at cd rama even though the dinner was starting. later we went to change into our pants for the song item. (remember i was having a sore throat so i wasnt keen on the song item). i realised that my pants was too long so we exchanged pants since her legs were slightly longer. however the pants were too long for her too n she ended up folding the cuffs up. n her pants were a little tight for me. so we were like thinking twice whether we should go up stage, well felt that we should. so in the end we went up stage n felt like idiots. then when we were singing the second song 'redeemed', the second stanza was meant for boys to sing only, but the girls were singing too(see not well prepared) then jemima(who was smart enough to remember), who was standing on my right whispered, " whoay, guys only! guys only!" then i quickly informed bernice who was on my right, then finally the girls got the message, however bernice started laughing n giggling, then she passed the laughter bug to me n natalie(who was on her right) i couldnt sing anymore, aigoo, i was laughing soooo hard. u noe like how diane laughs with her whole face scrunched up! (haha, no offense diane, my loyal friend) lol! then i came to the chorus, the girls didnt sing, well we were supposed to then jemima told me to sing, i told bernice, n we started to laugh again! gosh! i couldnt sing at all. i looked at my mom and her face was almost black... lol.. when i went down i told her about what happened n she couldnt help but laugh. ------------- okay, u see, if u dont find this funny at all, u werent there at that moment so u wont noe. lol ----------------
went home at 10 plus, slept after showering...
the next day, sunday, i woke up with a really bad sore throat! went to church, couldnt tok at all! had to do sign language to nat, she could understand though :)
then in the evening, went to the doctor, to get an mc cos i wasnt sure if i could go to school the next day. oh yes i got my medicine too lah. then smsed diane to tell her that i might not be going to school the next day, she was sooooo sweet, she volunteered to help me to take note what would happen in school! thanksie loyal friend, u are great!
here i am, sitting in front of the com while my friends still have another 1hr n 15 mins to go in school, not that im not sick n am well, but im really quite weak, u must noe. haha. my nose to clogged with yellow phlegm n my throat isnt really well yet. so yeah. gotta rest if not i have to go to school sick tomorrow, u see i have only an mc for a day... lol
okay, so see ya!

All about this week

-----------warning! this post is super long n wordy! see if u have time then read it :)------------
certainly my this whole entire week of school has been full of trips out of school, except for wednesday, when we stayed in school for a programme. it basically goes like this:
monday - changi museum
tuesday - ura n chinatown
wednesday - financial planning in school
thursday - zoo
and friday(today) - the health promotion board
okay lemme go into detail for each outing, i will try to type everything my memory permits me.

monday
first half of school was spent in class, my clique played uno n after which i did my music theory homework. then recces followed, it was when we got to noe that we were going out to changi museum(cm). my clique was very surprised n excited, glad that we would be spared of 3 hours of boredom in class. feelings of due to an impromptu outing. glad that we would be spared of 3 hours of boredom in class.(we hadn't informed our parents about this beforehand!)and we were glad too that we would be spared of the next 3 hours of boredom in class. however we soon found out that we were going there not to just enjoy reading the information at the museum, we were going there to search for answers to source-based questions based on what we learnt there. furthermore our answers would be graded n put into our term 4 marks. the only boon was that we could work in groups, that was i could work with my clique.
when we reached the cm, we started cracking, hunting high n low for answers. we all had a high competitive spirit as we strove to finish all the questions n was frustrated whenever we couldn't find the answer to a question. after everything, my legs were tired from all the walking, got back to school n handed papers up. hope my clique n i do well for the questions!

tuesday
this day i went to the ura, on the whole, the trip was more of tiring then fun, other than the FOOD n the pictures we took. we were divided into 2 groups between our A n B classes, fortunately my clique was still together. when we got there, we met the omg lady. she one really hilarious lady. whenever a someone answered her question, she would scream 'oh my god!' though i don't really approve of that phrase, it was really interesting to see her soooooo enthu while many of the students were stone.
my group went around the trail to the different stations n participated the the different games, i learnt how to spell sri mariamman temple n learnt more about the stories of chinese deities. the stories were really interesting n im glad got hear them. at the ura building i learnt more about singapore's population density which is like 8000plus people per km2. the most li hai city was hong kong with 14000plus people per km2.
last of all i went to eat at maxwell hawker centre. shared chicken rice n sugarcane juice with elyssa. u noe the best way to save money is to share food with ur friend... haha. i still wasn't satisfied n went on for another cup of sugarcane juice n a tub of pineapple tarts shared with esther. now u noe that i have a very good appetite most of the times, n that i if im unhappy, u can become cheer me up once u give me good food!

wednesday
this day, i stayed in school for financial literacy. this programme was not bad n much better than i had expected. our instructor ms gena chen, aka fei po, was quite good to us, giving us a sweet for any right answers we gave. janice was really smart here, she won quite a number of sweets, n most of the sweets were eaten by me. :) sweetie sweet! lastly we played some board game, diane was the richest n elyssa the poorest. i was second, not bad for me already haha.

thursday
this day was the most tiring day i think. but it was a really a great time for photos n teamwork in my clique. treasure hunt was really frustrating as the zoo though not really big but we never knew if we had missed any answers or where to find the answers. however we managed to do it and got a 12/20! well done my clique, we're great. harhar.
animal show! the three shows were not bad, i liked them cos we could sit down finally n that was when we took most of the pics. the show presenters did a good job n though i would have been excited to see amanda (my church friend) presenting instead. overall i had a good time at the zoo thanks to the friends that were with me.

friday
hmmmm..today was ...okay! watched a really cool movie for pe. it is called jump in. i love all the skipping parts as i've never seen them before n doubt that i'll ever see them in singapore.
then at 1015, we set off for hpb. we had a talk on 'the other side of sex' n learnt a lot about love, sex, and STDs. as usual, we had to answer a question sheet. later on we went to tour the health zone. the place was not bad, being colourful. i also played the sumo game with my clique. with the help of a few classmates, we managed to exceed the record of 280kg by 6kg! that was a great accomplishment that through teamwork, we did it. on the bus back to school, had lots of fun siting at the side of where the driver sat, my whole clique sat there except for esther. esther could not get a place there cos someone took up too much space. haha (jkjk, no offense!) took some pics. n we finally reached school late at 2.06pm.
this marks the end of this entry, im so relieved, finally got everything down in words. :):):)
see what great memory i've got harhar, sorry if im lorsor...
okay i really got to go, chinese tuition's in an hour n i haven't done the homework!
see ya!

Ratatouille!!!!!!!!!!!

yesterday came home at 11 pm, slept at 11 plus... but it was really worth it. i went to watch ratatouille!!!!!!!! i am quite in love with this show cos it has a nice story line and was so pleasing to the eye. so much food n some parts were really funny too! this movie will be a very memorable one for me and i would give out of five stars, six stars. :) good movie for those who like good endings, comedy n an interesting story.

Hail me - the crab warrior!

the fact im writing a third post means that im NOT abandoning this blog. so yay that's good news.
today, when i first woke up at 7.15am, it was rather reluctant cos i had to inform nadine that tennis was cancelled. mom then asked me what i want to eat then i said crab n lala(a kind of shellfish). i was feeling thirsty n drank water from my cupped hand from the water dispenser n made a big mess of water in my semi conscious(or semi woken) state. mom scolded me for messing up the area n then i went to sleep.
after a mystical dream of me being some funny character, i woke up the second time at 11, i was fresh awake. and on the basin top, i found guess what! 4 CRABs n many LALAs! i immediately started my mission of killing the crabs with my two sisters observing from the sidelines. (do not try this at home unless u have parental guidance, very serious u noe! people have died from a crab pinch)

(u may want to skip this if u are not interested in crab-killing or are too afraid)

firstly, - i removed their carapaces with one 'ccccrrrrrrrkkkkk' sound.
secondly - i removed their 'gills'(not sure what it is called)with a scissors
thirdly - i washed them with a brush
fourthly - i removed their roe onto a small metal plate
fifthly - i put the crabs n the small plate of roe on a large metal plate n into the
kuali.
lastly - the crabs are done!
see! how lorsor, however detailed.

okay now lets see what my erjie said about me: lisa is a very nice sister who can make crabs very well.
it is very nice remark which can put into my report book anytime, however i see one mistake. i cant make crabs! i can cook them instead. haha!

and my dajie helped turn off the fire when the crabs were done. you see i have very good sisters. :)

also i must say that i have very good friends too. diane, elyssa, janice - my clique friends!
i must say that u all make school so enjoyable for me! thanks for making this year pass so fast, now we are finally done with exams n hope get into the same class next year! :)
this is a pic of us 6 months ago:

n us now: (taken by elyssa's cam n originally form her blog)

















yeah, we have been loyal to one another this whole year. n that rawks! :D

alright, enough for today, see ya!

School hols ending!

looking at my title of this entry, u may think that im so excited about school reopening. im sorry but u've guessed wrongly, in fact im unhappy about it. the exclaimation mark at the end of the statment is in a way a 'pun', it could mean that im happy or otherwise.
school reopening means getting up early n having to sit in class for a few hours. furthermore i cant believe that im going to have like 5 periods of chinese in row twice on tuesdays, that equals to 5 hours grilling in chinese! n hope i will not fall asleep cos my 2 hours of chinese tuition is only possible when im fed food every 15mins, if not nothing will go into my head.
okay enough of school, my holiday has been very unfruitfully spent. i've watched two movies at home - apocalypto n charlie's angels. one is gory n the other is violent(according to my mom). but u must noe i didnt once wince while watching apocalypto, it is quite a fine movie. charlie's angels was pretty hilarious, i enjoyed it cos since young, i've been always interested in austin powers n batman. like good people eliminate bad guys kind of show. other than that, i've been hogging the com like for at least 3-4 hours every day watching korean dramas n playing online games. if you cannot believe that i actually am like that, well i am.
oh yes n yesterday was er jie's birthday, went to din tai fung to eat , food was very nice. the day before we cut cake, cake was very nice. i sent her a very nice sms.... in short, er jie's birthday was very nice, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ER JIE!
okay now i have this really cool thing how you to watch. it is called playing piano with balls, here it goes:



hoped u enjoyed the video, time to go!
see ya.

First post - finally!

harloo blog! i've finally made a blog! wow that's news, after having 1 blog in the past which i disowned the very day i created it. i forgot the web addie not long after n totally abandoned it. i must say i've succumbed to PEER PRESSURE man. everyone in my clique has one, i mean who on earth doesn't? even my smartie sisters have one of their own too. haha, im sooo slow getting into 'in' things.
okay, when i post, i think i'll write real long cos im very rubbishy and super lorsor. bear with me.
i've just realised that im really unfamiliar with this(blogging) so i will take time to get used to this n being able to write my thoughts down easily.
okay i will see how this goes n hope i won't abandon this blog too... see you.
