I WANT ICE CREAM!

Haha I've been craving for Swensen's Banana Split since goodness knows how long. I still remember telling Miss Liu that when she asked the new J1 ODAC-ians what we'd want as a birthday present if we were given a $1o budget. And that was in early 2009. One year, and it hasn't been fufilled yet haha.
Then a few weeks ago, during DG, we were doing the passage about Paul and Silas being put in prison and suddenly an earthquake shook the place, and their chains broke.

Daniel - Earthquake.. Reminds me of the ice-cream.
Jessica - I want Banana Split!
Caprina - Haha let's go later! :D

In the end, we went to Pizza Hut for dinner and we were too full afterwards. The next week, I think we mentioned Swensen's too, but we ate at Ichiban Sushi and we were too lazy to go somewhere else. Haha.

Anyways, I've been uber lazy this weekend. Fatigue from the entire week finally kicked in. Haven't accomplished much, except to catch up on sleep. Having said that, I feel that I haven't rested enough yet haha o.o

I can't wait for Chinese New Year to comee! I doubt this year will be any different, cause I know we won't really go visiting, but at least I'll get some red packets? Haha. And there's my cousin's wedding to look forward too! On the 6th day of Chinese New Year :D Maybe I can get my red packets this year afterall (:
And there might be a steamboat at Vanessa's house on the 3rd day of Chinese New Year too!
Plus, it'll be a nice break from school! Haha I realised that in JC, the holidays mean much more than when we were in Primary and Secondary school!

That aside, I've been procrastinating doing my Literature essay! Even until now. And its due tmr! I really really really regret taking Literature! Its like, I no longer love Literature the way I did in Secondary school! Its easy to pass, yes. Score? Hell, no.

But, I know for sure that if God puts you through something, He'll surely see you through it. That's one of the awesome promises of His that I'll always cling on to. I wanted to change Literature to Chemistry if I were to retain, but since He let me go on to J2, I know He has a greater plan for me! (:

HELLO! :D

22nd SR ODAC, thank you for all your effort today. As a result of all our hard work, 94 people signed up for ODAC. Yes, that might not be the final number that we will have; some will join other CCAs. Nonetheless, it was a job well done! I'm proud of all of you (:

Many of us have lost part of our voices, but that's the opportunity cost of recruiting new members into our big and awesome ODAC family. Hahaaa



22nd SR ODAC IS LOVE! <3

Labels:




Today was an awesome day! Haha idk why too. I just feel it was awesome! :D
Yeah, JC1s came in today, OSLs went high when we formed one line along the covered walkway to welcome the freshmen. Oh boy, it's hard to imagine that one year ago, I was just like one of them, walking into a brand new school. But I somehow don't remember the OSLs welcoming us the way we did this morning haha.

Anyway, cut off point for SRJC in 2010 : 16! Awesome much, it was 20 in 2008, dropped to 17 in 2009, and now its 16! We're above Pioneer Junior College, Inova Junior College, and Yishun Junior College. The number of Zhonghuarians in SRJC are significantly lower this year, compared to my year. And I hardly recognise most of them, there's one in my OG but I don't know him at all haha.

Super shagged, I haven't made up for sleeping 3 hours on Tuesday night, I guess it'll kick in over the weekend.

And I learnt something today. The McDonalds opposite Ang Mo Kio Library has awesome ice cream. Magdalene told Victoria and me about it after worship practice, but we didn't believe, cause afterall, ice cream is just ice cream, how different can it be? Visited the drive-thru, and she insisted on buying one each for us to try, and yeah. It's really different. Its hard on the inside, soft on the inside. And the cone's salty, tastes like popcorn haha. Apparently, the food at that particular McDonald's nicer than the other outlets.
Mag : I think I should introduce more people to that McDonald's. Then they will tell their friends and so on, then more people will go!
Joshua : You getting commision uhh?
Mag : No, but eh, good idea! I can tell them that I brought in the crowd.

-.-"

On another note, CCA Recruitment Drive tmr, I hope everything goes on fine (:

22nd SR ODAC, I believe we can all do it! :D

Thanks for the entertainment! Tee hee.
Now, back to my Literature Photo Journalism Project. ><

Labels:


Yesterday was totally HELL. Tons of homework due today.
1. 2 Literature Write-ups (1 was due yesterday, but I didn't do, so total of 2)
2. 1 History SBQ
3. Economics Tutorial; one essay plan
4. Math Tutorial

Seemingly little, but Lit is a killer, I swear. Sucked up so much of my brain juice, I ended up leaving it half done and proceeded to finish my other homework. By the time I finished everything on that list except for Math, it was 3.30am. I rushed History and Econs within 1 hour, and I was on the verge of knocking out by the time I was done. Gosh.
Doing Econs tutorial helps you understand stuff, I realised. Learnt more stuff about Econs last night! Haha (:

Anyway, its day 3 of the 3rd week of school. This week alone, I've cabbed once, and ran into school twice. Actually I shouldn't have cabbed, I was just too lazy to run in. But yeah, its a bad habit! I'm already waking up so late, and its only the beginning! Oh my gosh.

PE today was okayy! 2.4km run, 15.43mins. I missed the Gold range by 3 seconds. Yes, THREE. What the shit. But okay luhh, I'm quite happy with the timing, considering as how I haven't trained for ages. Tee hee.
Showered after PE, Priscilla and me literally rushed for the cubicals. We asked Mr Kok if we could leave once the bell rang, and her bag was in the gallery, while mine was outside the PE office. She THREW me her shoes to book a cubicle, haha. Super refreshing, I tell you. Especially when the sun was so hot. Anyway, she has hair made of steel or something! Haha she borrowed my comb and she 'broke' it into 2. Haha it could be fixed back, but omg. Her hair, power-packed to the max haha.

Somehow, time today passed uber slowly. Which was a good thing? Haha anyway I had fun today with my short friend Jermaine! She's the best thing that happened to me this year, just like how I'm the best thing that happened to her! Haha I seldom find people near my height near my weight. Weird uhh? They're usually uber light. But anw, my height-for-weight index is 100%! I'm the only 100% in my class =D

Orientation begins tmr, and I'm uber excited! Except for the fact that SOMEONE is in my OG. Bloody hell! I saw the thing and I was shocked/stunned/dumbfounded, whatever. Bleah. 7 days in LiJiang was enough, now this. Oh my gosh. And instead of sympathizing with me, most people I know laughed. Especially SANDRA FAUSTINA LEE HUI YI!
Shit you hahaha. But, yeah. What the shit sia.

Labels:


Gah. Tons of homework everyday, and it just piles up.
Got chased out of Lit class for the second time this year, first was because we were late & most of us didn't do the assignment, so the whole class got thrown out. Today, most of us got thrown out, cause we didn't finish the tutorial prep. Oh wells.
The week's only going to get busier, and I realised I have alot more things to be done, I've somehow overlooked them in my busy-ness.
Can someone give me more time?

Labels:



birthday cake for the 2 birthday girls (:







we were trying to show off our student leader thing, haha but too bad, couldn't be captured.

Labels:


Tried reading Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit just now, and I don't understand anything. Plus, I'm supposed to hand in the write-up of Exodus and Leviticus on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively.
JOY.

That aside, this week's gonna be a super busy one, with the new JC1s coming in, and the CCA Recruitment Drive on Friday. That's on top of the super hectic JC2 workload. Plus band practice session on Thursday for worship on Saturday. Rawr

On a brighter note, my aunt gave me a wallet just now, someone gave it to her some time ago but its still unused. Welll. I like it, but its fat to the max. Haha.
I think I still want my Forever 21 wallet!



Idk why I can't seem to find them in Singapore. o.o

Uber full now after dinner @ Ichiban Sushi just now after church with Daniel, Caprina and Dylan (: (: (:

Shopped at Cotton On afterwards with Caprina, and I really really want a pair of shoes! But they didn't have my size! ><

Oh wells, maybe one day I'll head over to Rubi's at ION to take a look.



Yesterday was a fantastic way to end the hectic week; with Captain's Ball during ODAC and a 不可思议 meetup afterwards to celebrate YunJia and my birthday. Cheryl wanted to meet at 7.30pm, but YunJia was afraid that the both of us couldn't make it in time, cause of CCA so we changed the meeting time to 8pm. And idk why, ODAC ended uber late yesterday, around 7pm if I'm not mistaken. Still had to discuss things for the recruitment afterwards, and by the time I left school with YunJia, it was already past 7.30pm.

Anyway, we had a great time catching up over dinner at Skinny Pizza @ Wheelock Place, and NYDC for desert afterwards. Haha we ordered 2 slices of cake, and Serene wanted to ask the people there to put a candle and light it up.
Cheryl - Huh light up the cake?

LOL we burst into laughter. Cheryl, oh Cheryl, still the same kuku head as before. Haha. But before Serene passed the cake to them, she realised Cheryl already took a bit of it -.-" Covered the 'hole' with the whipped cream on the plate and handed it to them. Truth & Dare afterwards, and we had uber weird dares.
1. Popping party poppers along Orchard Road, shouting Merry Christmas at the same time.
2. Playing Oh-Pillar along Orchard Road.

HAHA I was the only one who didn't get any dare. Serene had 2 lol. Wasted the people were too busy minding their own business, I don't think anyone paid any attention to us.
Cam-whored afterwards, and by the time I reached home it was midnight on the dot. Super tired, but what was most important was that all of us enjoyed ourselves to the max.

It's awesome how the 4 of us have maintained this friendship since we were in Sec 2, and somehow even though we don't see one another often during the year, we don't drift apart or anything.
I really really love these 3 girls, cause I know they're always there for me no matter what, even during my sad times, especially after receiving my O Level results, and failing my Promos.
They were there for me throughout, and they comforted me.
Thanks girls, I love you! <3 <3

Photos when Cheryl uploads them (:

You know what? Being in J2 really sucks. Piles of homework everyday, lecturers going at the speed of Japanese bullet trains. Plus, its not like I understand anything. Wan Ru! I really need you to explain Econs to me. Haha I'm really lost now.

Anyway, it only Day 2 of Week 2, but within these 2 days, I've learnt alot. Especially how we shouldn't judge people by how they look, appear and behave in front of you, cause you won't know whats going on in their minds. 2 classic examples, all I can say is that I'm glad I realized it right from the start. Better than finding out later on in the year. Oh wells..

I really miss 1A02'09. I miss the company, and all the nonsense we do during tutorials. 2A02's just different. Not mentioning the fact that all the people I used to hang out with are in 2A01, and my 2 besties in class are in the SP program. And I don't know why, but so far I hardly see any one else around school. I don't see Shawn, Regina, Vanessa, Kuang Jie, Constance, Yun Jia and Serene as often as I did last year. So far, I only keep meeting Jun Zhe around. Lol.

I really really really miss Shawn, Regina and Vanessa. I guess I was too used to their company last year :S
Shawn hasn't left for poly and I'm already missing him. I wonder what will happen when he leaves, which is within the next few days? Oh wells. I miss all the times last year, esp during the pre-Promos period, all the mugging at the cafe, and chiong-ing PW during post-promos. Anw, thanks for going for dinner with me even though you've already eaten, and thanks for listening to me rant endlessly about everything.
Yeah, those were the good old days. Like what you said, cherish the moment cause they might not happen again (:
Cause now I miss them like crazy. Oh my gosh. But. Oh wells..

PE today was okayy, height and weight, then 2km run. The machine's retarded, I shrank again. But at least now, its 1.5m. That time idk how I shrank 2cm to 1.49m. Gained weight, I think it was after the LiJiang trip haha.
The run was amazingly alright! As much as I didn't want to run, I ran, and I realised I actually missed running (:

OH what happened after PE was epic. Omg is all I can say. Daniel's still as scatterbrained as ever. I happened to sit near him in the canteen. This time, he lost his wallet. And he still had the cheek to smile and say its his habit -.-
All he did was to buy a drink, and it disappeared. Haha reminds me of all the times in LiJiang where he constantly misplaced all his stuff and he resorted to telling me where all his stuff were, and what he brought along with him everytime we left the bus.

I asked him to check the Office, and good thing some kind person found it at the drinks stall and returned it to the Office. Tsk, Daniel. Haha

Oh wells. Urgh. I hate everything now. I guess I haven't really been in a good mood recently. All the homework, revision, ODAC stuff and yeah, other non-acadamic issues. Rawr. But at least I feel better now after ranting just now during dinner. Thanks Shawn! (:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY~

Yay I'm 18! And I'm legal! :D
Haha thanks to everyone who wished me!

Outdoor PE at Pasir Ris Park today, urgh. Supposed to meet Jaslyn at 6am, but I only woke up when she texted me at 5.55am. Haha ended up meeting her only at 6.10am.
The bus was uber cold, we literally froze. Plus, it was a 1 hour journey.

2A02 lunch at Manhattan's Fish Market, and I'm left with $2 something for the week. ODAC owes me $19.90 for the materials I bought for the visit to the Arts Museum stuff. Somehow, I no longer want to go. Its the second time, same exhibits, blah. Oh wells.

Homework List
1. Random questions left for GP Hoilday Assignment - due tmr
2. Econs Promo corrections - due on monday
what the hell, I thought last year was last year.
3. History SBQ - due tmr
4. Study for Cold War quiz/SBQ skills test - due tmr, first period
5. Study for Econs DRQ test on Market Structure - due saturday
test on a Saturday? wow

Ha this has gotta be one of the rare times that I don't really have to rush all my holiday homework when school reopens. :D
Oh wells, but I ain't really enjoying school now :/
It seriously sucks that only 4 people from 1A02 are in 2A02. And the worse part? I'm not even close to them. Well, maybe except Sandra. But she has Izza. Urgh.
At least I have Calista and Jermaine (:

Labels:


Everything's just gonna be swept under the carpet..
Not something I'd do, but this is an exception.
Otherwise, it'll go no where.



First day of school; urgh.
1. Miss Zeenat doesn't allow my shoes. What the shit, its just pink. She said it didn't go well with her school colors, or something like that. Bloody shit her.
2. Ice-cream cone earrings not allowed. Haha but yeah, I kinda expected that already.
3. Signed up for Literature Night. I'm not sure if I really want it though. :/
4. Volunteered for Class Treasurer; cause its way better than being some subject rep. One year of being GP & Chinese rep was enough.
5. Got new lockers, I'm no longer at the bottom already. Moved up one 'story' :D
6. Timetable: Oh wells, good and bad, but I end quite early. Around 2.30pm everyday. 11.30am on Fridays, even weeks :D How good can that be?
7. Lijiang Final meeting & BBQ. I don't know why, but it was kinda sian. And I burnt my tongue while eating chocolate banana -.-"
8. My skin's really really peeling, its uber itchy. Bought new moisturizer! And the saleswoman in Watsons seriously SUCK. I asked where the moisturizers were. She asked for the brand I wanted, I told her and she said they were already sold out. Asked for Nivea next, she brought me to some facial whitening cream. Nevermind, I saw where the moisturizers were and walked over. Guess what? They had the brand I was looking for all along. What the shit?

Labels:


I visited the school website, and listened to the Pioneer Song.
Actually, I think the song's very nice. And meaningful. (:
Although parts of the song's too high pitched, but thats besides the point.

Anyway, I need to remind myself to remove my nail polish before I sleep tonight. Which should be sometime soon. Urgh, I'm so not looking forward to school tomorrow. Meeting Calista at the bus stop, in the morning. As weird as it sounds, I'm nervous about being in a new class. Even though technically speaking, I know everyone.
Rawr.

BUT, I'm looking forward to the Lijiang BBQ after school! :D :D

Random, but urgh my skin looks ugly! Patches here and there, and its itching like crazyy! I need to buy more moisturizer. I finished most of the tube after Lijiang, and now this. Oh wells.



I found this photo on the school website. :D :D :D
Its one of the main photos, and only a few CCAs are featured. Tee hee!

"To hell with the people who undermine ODAC! It's like a big family and despite conflicts here and there we still get together as the ODAC family and do tons of awesome stuff together!" - Constance

Yup, ODAC's been my pride and joy. I totally love ODAC (: (:
6 teachers in charge of ODAC in 2010, I seriously don't know why there're so many.

That aside, my skin's starting to peel. :(
Freaking itchy. But at least it doesn't really hurt anymore (:

I'm so not looking forward to school tomorrow. Rawr. I'm not gonna do my History SBQ! Bleah, but at least I finished most of my other homework for History. (:

My back is super duper ultra mega red, and even touching it lightly is painful.
Rawr and imagine wearing a shirt with sleeves. Pain to the max I tell you.
I cringed in pain countless times today.
And I resorted to hugging my bag instead of carrying it. Too painful haha.

Anyway idk why I couldn't sleep last night. Ended up falling asleep only after 3am, slept for about 2 hour plus only ><
OSL camp today really drained all my energy, tired to the max now.

Met WanRu to get the photos for publicity, and she wants to meet me tmr night!
To make sure I do my Econs homework. What the hell. Lol.
Yeah WanRu, you're doing Miss Liu a huge favour.
HAHA. But just as well, I know nothing about Market Failure :(

Oh my gosh, I don't think I've had that much fun for a long time. Today was seriously fun!
Chun Wei, Yuan Lin, Wan Ru, Jun Qiang, Ona, Vanessa, Constance; thanks for the awesome time at Marina Barrage :D Love you guys to the max! <3
Haha we picnic-ed, flew kites, chased ants, visited exhibits, cam-whored, and got really really burnt. But it was all worth it.
And, thanks Chun Wei for the ride home! (:

More when I get the photos from Wan Ru and the others. Haha we really cam-whored like mad. 500 over pictures. (:

OSL camp tmr, reporting time : 6.45am. Freakishly early. Haha Constance and me are going late. Make our grand entrance in our ODAC shirt :D

All of a sudden, I have this weird feeling.
It's just largely different, then and now.
Urgh

In 2010, I won't repeat the same mistakes as 2009.

~ I'll make sure I NEVER land up on the Early Bird Program again

~ I want to pass all my tests. No more U and S. Especially for Econs!

~ I'll do all my homework diligently and not do just for the sake of doing them

~ I'll no longer do last minute studying. Kills my brain cells and I'll end up hyperventilating cause I end up not knowing much

~ I'll pay attention during lectures and tutorials. One of the hardest things to do.

~ I'll prioritize my time, important things first, not fun things first

~ I'll play and study equally hard. If that's possible. Otherwise, study study study!

~ I'll seriously try to start doing my Quiet Time. I haven't even really touched my DG book for a long time. Except when I put it into my bag before going for Youth Service every week. No preparations, nothing. Gosh, I seriously suck

~ I'll do my utmost not to let any vulgarities come out of my mouth. Haha succeeded pretty much this year, except once in a while, when I let my guard down.

~ I'll try to ensure my room is always tidy. Omg super hard, but I'm gonna try make it possible

~ I'll save money! Rawr I hate the feeling now. Everything everywhere's on sale, and the stuff looks damn tempting. Then I look at myself, and feel sorry for myself. No money -.-"

~ I'll make sure my fitness level is still there, even after we step down from ODAC. Gosh, muscle aches after PE lessons suck totally.

~ I'll try not to let the surrounding things affect my emotions. Emo period for 2009 lasted for around one month, that sucked to the ultimate max. I'll be the happy girl I once was. Back in Zhonghua (:

~ I'll try to complain less! Haha Yong Siong and Yao Yang, I know you'll be happy to see this (:

~ I won't let anyone make me cry. Except tears of joy haha. 2009 saw the first and subsequently the last person to make me cry. That won't happen again.



And of course, less junk food. Bad for the body, bad for my pocket too! (:

Labels:




Looks are deceiving. The rock candies look small, but are somehow, incredibly addictive and awesome. Thanks Daniel & Caprina! (:

I keep forgetting that 2010 = A Level year.

can i just deny it and tell myself that everything was just a figment of my imagination?
i know nothing will happen.


after everything, i'm somehow beginning to doubt that you've changed.

i guess i was too caught up earlier on to detect signs of it..

HOMEWORK STATUS
  1. GP - > 80% done (:
  2. HISTORY ESSAYS - one down, one to go! :D
  3. HISTORY TRIGGER NOTES - gonna hand in the notes I made for the Mid-Years and Promos; so 90% done :D
  4. ECONS - HMMM. Totally untouched. And I realised I don't understand a single thing. Gah, kill me please. And Miss Zeenat's going to be my Econs tutor this year. JOY.
Starbucks-ed with Jun Zhe just now to study/do homework. And that guy was super late! Haha I told him I'd be late then he said he also. I reached 5 mins late, he came 15 mins later. So he was 20 mins late -.-"

Haha I'm glad I finished my History essay! :D :D
Jun Zhe, thanks for the coffee treat (:
Roti prata-ed for dinner, at the Jalan Kayu Roti Prata Cafe, super nice. Its been a long time since I ate roti prata anyway :D

I wanna go for Alton's new year party tmr! Rawr. My mum says no, and she says she can't tell me why -.-" Stupid luhh.
But after she came out from the shower she started saying about my room, blah blah. I think my room's just a convenient excuse. HA I'm so gonna tidy it up before school reopens and see what other reasons she's gonna come up with.
But I still wanna know what the actual reason is. Hmph!

Labels:


HAPPY 2010!

Somehow, seeing the date as 01 Jan 2010 on my phone makes me think that my entire phone has reseted itself. Haha because when the phone resets, the date becomes 01 Jan (:

RESOLUTIONS FOR 2010
  1. Be on time for school! Haha Miss Liu, I'm not going to give you any chance to see me at the back of the hall/ assembly plaza :D
  2. Do all my homework and pay attention during lectures and tutorials
  3. No more last minute studying
  4. Save money! It sucks when you wanna go on a shopping spree but you don't have any money
