HELLO FELLOW EARTHLINGS! : D
This is my 200th post at oh-kaye. : D SO COOL RIGHT???
I've started blogging since Primary 5, if i'm not wrong. So I should have around 1000 posts from then till now. Ah! I shouldn't have deleted my previous blogs. Then i could add all the posts up.. Oh well! : ) Some things are meant to be forgotten.
This week has been a really eventful week, filled with fun, exciting, sad, angry, disappointing and embarrassing moments.
All the pictures are with the other people, and i'll find a day to post a picture-filled post : D
(That includes Sec1 Camp pictures luh)
Monday:
Nothing much during school hours. Biology was interesting though.. Mrs Tan taught us about all the homo-this, homo-that. And yeah, Humans=Homosapiens. For once, I don't feel lagged behind in class.. cus Yorklyn taught me the Homosapien thingy before : D It feels great knowing stuffs beforehand. Aha.
Had lunch with Gabriel, Chernwei and Hillary after school : D
(and also to settle some stuffs for Wednesday... *wink wink*)
Tuesday:
(I just realized something... I wrote 'Hopeful' as my 'Mood' in my notebook for the whole week =,= What was I hopeful over? I have no idea! Great. I have amnesia.)
CCA leaders workshop after school. I wouldn't really call it a workshop... More like a super long meeting. And oh oh oh! I had tons of fun with Rima, laughing over nothing. : D The poor Sec 1 girls laughed at us till they cried : O I think Erika kinda gave up on getting us back to the topic, and ended up joining us. HAHA. Had early dinner with Rima and Cherine after that, then Rima's mom sent all of us home : D It was a fun day!
Wednesday:
Okay.
That day has GOT TO BE the MOST EMBARRASSING DAY of MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE! I would really appreciate it if no one ever brings it up again after this final explanation from me, cus i'm trying to forget all about it... Yeah.
So anyway, what happened was: I was running towards the classroom, being late for duty and with my friends in class rushing me to hurry up. THEN, the zip on my bag freaking broke when I was at the parade square??! All my stuff, and even that stupid Happy Meal toy (zzz!) flew out and landed at least 1 meter away from me, forming this gigantic circle of mess (It was something like the Big Bang. Y'know, the great explosion in space.. Yeah, that's how the whole thing looked like) I freaked out, and I did the stupidest thing EVER by whining into thin air.... That's when a lot of kind people rushed in from all directions to help pick my stuffs up. Thank God for all the helpful souls on Earth. After that day, I promised myself I would be a helpful person towards anyone in need in the future, cus I know how sucky, pathetic, in distress/dismay/depressed the person feels. Charmaine sort of fixed my bag in class, so I arrived home just like how I left. But till now, I still can't trust it with the weight of my school books..
They say there's always two sides to a situation. So, the two things i shall say about my bag is that it...:
1) Is lousy.
2) Has taught me values.
I see another side to this situation though. And that is:
3) I'm stupid to buy such thick and heavy telephone-book-like textbooks. The teachers don't even use them to teach anyway. The purpose of those books is probably only to make us look more hardworking, studious and geeky than we actually are. Tsk tsk.
So yeah, I spent the whole of school hours whining and whining and whining to the people around me. Most of them laughed over my 'speech'. =,= And according to Cherine, everyone from the 2nd/3rd level saw too. Two words: Oh. Crap. (!!!)
ANYWAY.
Wednesday was also Jovian's birthday : D
Our plan worked out perfectly, and yes, he was surprised : D I kinda expected him to figure out what's going on, and that would really suck. But, thankfully, his brain can't put 1 and 1 together to get 2. YAY! We had fun cake-smearing each other, LOL. Jovian was the worst, of course. His hair was all spiked up and filled with greenish cream. LOL. We all stank of mint afterwards. None of us are ever gonna eat mint, EVER, again. :S But it was still fun! It made me cheer up a LOT : )
Wednesday was ALSO the audition of the Sec 1 dance girls. : D We had 27 girls who auditioned, and we now have 12. AND OMG OMG OMG *hyperventilates*, it's freaking good having a dance studio to ourselves : D It's like, we're finally acknowledge in the school. And guess what, we even have our own sound system in the room! FINALLY, we can get rid of that ugly looking big fat radio : D
Thursday:
I bet none of the PSLs could concentrate in class. Well, I couldn't : D! I was really looking forward to Gelare after school. Tee hee. And, Thursday was also Alicia's birthday : D
So yeah, the whole lot of us occupied a total of three tables at Gelare. Damn coolio~!
Oooo, i love this part where I recall who was there.. Gives my brain a good stretch : D
There was Cherine, Moi, Kailee, Huibing, Yiwen, Mavis (Ongaye!), ChengEn, Daryl (Goh/Hairy) Clayton, Weisheng, Benjamin (Yeong/Itchy), Hongsen, Benjamin (unknown surname! LOL). Then the other table was filled with ChengEn's friends, whom I don't know. : )
After ice-cream, we headed to Cafe Cartel. Minus Kailee and Benjamin-unknown-surname, plus Jovian, Wilson, and Huibing's friend. It was a super fun day luh : D We were making sooo much noise, the manager even had to come over and hush us. :x
Friday:
There was Literature class : D! We're currently studying autistic people, which is quite interesting. How can we be so alike, and yet so different. The movie Mdm Divya showed us was funny at the beginning, but now it's getting kinda sad.... Oh i just realized, i don't know the title of the show : o
Other than that, there was nothing much during school hours again.. Just tons of assignments to complete over the weekend. Oh wait, actually, there's only Maths and English. The rest are not due anytime soon : D I'm managing my time yoh. My brain has its own system:
Weekdays - 50% play/rest, 50% work.
Weekends and Holidays - 65% play/rest, 35% work.
My brain deserves time to rest. Forcing my brain to work is just mental-suicide. I'll go cra-zee for sure, sooner or later. It's just common sense. So, i'm not gonna drown myself with extra work when it can jolly well wait to be completed. If there's no trouble, don't find trouble. See. (*psst! That's direct translation from that Chinese saying... Whatever it is : D)
ANYWAY.
We had SYF practice after school. I love the dance Clare cheorographed for us! Super super super fun/cute : D
Piano was fine. Mrs Chua was STILL super nice to me, even though my songs are STILL horrible. I really really do wanna make the effort to practice, just that i really really have no time to do so. And it makes me feel really guilty every time i go for lessons unprepared, knowing she has high hopes on me... S:
And, yeah, I've made my new card. Yay. But not very yay at the same time. Cus the moment i got home, i realized they actually mailed a new card to me which even has my name printed on it! : O But i've canceled off the old account. So now i have to stick with this nameless card for another year or so. BOO MOO. )x
We're targeting for Silver this year. Well, okay, they said Gold too. But honestly, i really doubt we can achieve a Gold. For one thing, the better dance schools have already started training since last year, and we've only started like, yesterday? And for another thing, for a dance club which has gotten 2 consecutive Bronze award, tell me, what are the chances of getting a Gold anytime soon? Nil. As much as I would hate to admit it, HIHS dance club is just.... okay. We have a few really good dancers from each batch, but people tend to look at dance club as a whole, not individuals. Yeah, i'm a very optimistic AND down-to-Earth person. We can't keep fantasizing all the time. Reality check: From a Bronze to a Gold is a big leap. We should really take it one step at a time.
AND HONESTLY, i don't really look forward to SYF. We're gonna be dancing in front of people who'll JUDGE us. Who even came up with this idea of 'judging' people huh??? It's a stupid idea. It's as stupid as prefixes (which, FYI, i can now blab it out fluently already. Yay). Yeah, some people are better than the others. And we KNOW that. Knowing that ourselves, is different from having others point it out to you. It's demoralizing. Seeing others getting a candy and a pat on the back for being good, while you get a tight slap across your face for being not as good.... Like hello, different people have a different limit towards change (for the better). And judging the people who aren't as good as the others isn't gonna make things any better. In fact, it's making things worst. People should ENCOURAGE instead of JUDGE. Some may say that judging is a way of acknowledging the good effort you made and the hard work you did... that's crap. Everyone of us DO make an effort. The difference is the amount of effort put in. Even so, there's the limit theory i mentioned earlier. You should get the idea now.
Well, we shall just pray hard that the stars are watching over us this year.
(In other words, good luck shall be with us.)
: D
I loooove the song Tonight by FM Static.
Cherine's probably sick of hearing me sing it.
I've finally recovered from the horrible flu and sore throat! : D YAYYYYY!
My whiny voice is back, back, back! (Almost) : D
My throat still a bit itchy now and then, and my nose feels a lil bitty bit clogged up. But i just gotta cough it away, and i'm normal again : D
Just that, currently, i can't really cough much cus my abdomen hurts a lot whenever i do so. Yeah, it's the usual after-dance-muscle-aches. This time, it's the abdomen, back, and neck... I can't even turn my head to look outside the window without feeling the strain.. Saddening. D :
BYE HOMOSAPIENS!
