EHHHHHH! *runs around in circles*

MY COMPUTER CRASHED!

Die, computer! DIEEEEEEE! =(

This is super suckish! Nonononononononono! *grabs hair* *starts pulling hair out*

NONONO! All my photographs! DAMN. Feeling really depressed. Stupid computers, always bringing humans first joy, then regret, remorse and sadness. Ehh, example, me lah. And all my dear documents. Omg. I just realised something. AHH! My ppt, from pri 4! The one which I did with Shu Hui, Cynthia and dunno who! OMG those were great memories of how they killed me for typing too much in one slide show, meaning screwing it up too.

NONONO! Depressed.

Now my whole account in my computer has been deleted. Well, not only mine. My dad's too. Only my brother's account was saved. WHY NOT MINE! Only my brother would be happy lah. And when I told my dad that his account was one of the two accounts that got deleted, he was like "oh its okay, I don't have any important documents in there anyway." and I was like, HUH! Why am I the only one who has many many many important stuff in there that got deleted!

And yes, oneEndeavourians, sorry. Those class photos I promised a long time to send to you guys? Yeah. They're gone too. Sorry guys. I feel so depressed! Those wonderful photos! Especially those cute ones of Jia Qi with Seraphina and Quin... that photo was so cute can! Now they're all gone with the sudden self restarting of one computer!

Now all I'm listening to are songs on my MP3, I plugged out my Creative speakers and connected it to my MP3, instead of my computer. And lemme tell you - my MP3 is only 512MB, so yeah, very little songs. I'm now despo for songs okay! My brother doesn't listen to songs.. he is only pri 3.. old enough to turn on the computer to only play MAPLE!

$#@$@%&$*%*^@!%#$%$!$#!#!#$"$#@$%&$*%*^$!!!!!!!!!

Nevermind.

Yeah..

I shall calm DOWN! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Nevermind.

I guess I already did.

Hmm.
WHO CARES.

Anyway, tomorrow Yining and Rachel wanna meet me at the Macs near my school... then I also have PT. I'm down with flu lah, so yah, I dunno if Mrs Sidhu would allow me to skip. Cos when we're sick we must also sit there and stone while watching the others do PT. Nevermind, see if I can get outta it cos Yining and Rachel wanna meet me at 2.15! Gosh. Almost right after school. =/

And yes, tomorrow theres school. Argh. Not really looking forward to waking up early. =/

Very bored now.. not exactly in the mood to blog too much.


Except for me to say that I have a very messy room to tidy.

Note: I did not create this massive pile of mess just for me to take this photo okay! (:

Sunday, July 30, 2006

Yesyes! I shall make an effort to update; before I start again on my laziness and start to stop updating! Wait, what crap. Start to Stop updating =/

AND YESYESYES! Realityworks has hit its 220th post, I hereby declare on this post. YAY Realityworks! Lets have MWW and MWBW eat the dust cos they've only got like, 50+++ posts? HEH. THREE CHEERS FOR ME, MYSELF AND I for hitting 220 posts. Typing sure is tiring yeah.

Yep, parents back from Malaysia. Came home this night to find DURIANS on the floor at the kitchen storeroom. Mmm, durians. Not exactly my favourite but I still like eating em. Only they are a bit heaty sometimes. Bleaches. Ohhhh! They also bought some weirdo cake.. ate some when I got home and it was nice. Hehheh. The glutton-ness side of GWENNY WENNY =D

- gwenny bom benny, benny bom senny, senny bom jenny, jenny bom wenny, wenny bom lenny, lenny bom saddie, saddie bom.. bom... BOM WHAT! Heh, cannot come up with anymore links.

- eileeny beany weany seeny genie baleny?! Hahaha. For you Eileen, for you! (:

Now I'm sorta sleepy so whatever I type here is total crap lah, so don't mind. I wanna sleep but since my parents are not back, I can't. Too afraid to. TRAUMATIZED i say, TRAUMATIZED!!!

But seriously, I'm still sorta scared of err. ahem. Ghosts.
- Documentaries suck.
- Don't watch them unless you're sure you won't get all paranoid.

Yesterday before me and Gerald [my brother] slept, we turned off the lights and saw a number 7 on my celling. I was like, "OMG GERALD! Turn on the freaking lights!!!" and he did. Then the 7 was gone from my celling. I'm so scared... like, can someone get me outta my thoughts? I wished I didn't have emotions. And you know why I'm scared. Now's the 7th month.

*shivers*

Anyway.
Today was totally fun. Well, near the end of the day though.

Started off with the same dumbdumb tuition. Ehh, its like, totally sian can? I totally did more algebra again larh! Sucky sucky MATH. I shouldn't have blabbered out accidentally that I got 0/20 for my class test. ARGH.

I have totally learnt to be keyboard-efficient. Hoorahs.
My mouse is giving me a terrible time by refusing to charge my batteries. As in, okay the green light flashes. But after listening to many songs and typing half a blog post and millions of donkey years later, I take my mouse up from the charger and instead of no light blinking, the red light blinks again, indicating that my battery's low. *pulls out hair*

After tuition Celine and I chionged to get ready to go to e bbq. Took cab to Changi Beach. Foowhoos!

15 damned it bucks and 80 cents. Wah, 80 cents. XIN TONG ARRHS! $15.80 just flew out from my wallet just like that. *snaps fingers* yee-ouch. XIN TONG XIN TONG. Celine shared money with me larh, so yeah it was cheaper than 15 bucks. Roughly 8 bucks. Heng arrhs. After we took the taxi, I called Yeong Deng only to find out from him that we were at the other end of where they were. They were at bbq pit 26 while we weren't even near bbq pit 1!! We had to walk for 1 hour to get to where they were.

Then we got to know Rachel, who came to us and said hi, and we helped her to start the fire. Gideon also tried to start the fire, but no matter how hard they tried, they just couldn't get the fire started! Mainy cos of the weird shaped charcoal... hmm. Then Celine and I couldn't do anything much to help, so we just sat there and stoned. Then they finished up the games and the prize presentation and they all started to go grab food. Yeong Deng intro-ed a AMKsian and Mayflowerian to us. LOL. Then Celine and I were intro-ed to Michelle and Karchian (: then they go intro us to the rest. Haha.

When it got dark Yining go pull me and Monica and Dione and told us a ghost story, the types where in the ending its not that eerie, but its cos the story-teller would go BOO! that kinda thing. Then I fell for it and I let out a short scream when she said "YOU!" all of a sudden =/ haha.

Then Karchian asked me if I accepted Christ blah blah and why I never accept Christ last week when I went for service then I told her I went home to talk to my parents about it and she asked what they said and I said yah, they allowed me to go church. Then she go tell everyone that I am going to accept Christ, and they just prayed for me on the spot! All the NEA people came around me and Karchian led them to pray for me.. all the girls put their hands on me [err, don't think disgusting] and the guys just stood near me with their hands in the air and they started praying. A bit funny cos sometimes Karchian said some words wrongly and they were trying hard not to laugh while praying, but in the end some of them failed to contain their laughter and they giggled a bit.

Haha. when we were done Karchian said "She has the best conversion story!!" then we ask why and she said "Cos I lead the prayers one mah!!!" LOL. Karchian, you are totally cute can! =D

Then when Celine came back from the toilet she congratulated me and again Yining pulled Celine to the darker side and we sat down at the table while she told us the same story. This time I helped Monica to do the motion and sound effects x) like when Yining said "throw them out of the window" i swayed my hands and went "woosh!" and they were all looking at me and laughing. Then when Yining said "chopped his body up into pieces" I did a chopping motion and she slapped my hands and they all laughed. LOL.

then we played some games, like Do You Love Your Neighbour. Then I had to hold hands with Jon. Then YiHui come and said "when we do this" and touched me and Jon's hands, meaning we had to run like, a round to find the gap to rejoin back into the circle while holding hands before YiHui and dunno who found the gap first and Jon went "I KNEW IT! Sure me one!" lol. So funny.

And then blah blah and we went home! Whee!

And yay, now I'm feeling tired so yeah, you got my day's story. A rather special day infact. So yeah, shall end here. (: hope my laziness for updating my blog doesn't come back tomorrow... and ehh. Have to go to Kerrie's place to practice dance thingy. =/ bye!

Saturday, July 29, 2006

whoops.. never update for so long already. Heh. Anyway... Yep, my parents are just about to leave the house to go to Malaysia.. Uncle KK's driving.. so yeah. Hoping that they have a safe trip there. I guess I'm still traumatized after watching the documentary "Inside 911" about the 911 terrorism thing.. haha.

My dad told me, "Now's the season, where the gates open up, and the spirits come out and claim their 'members'."

If you're guessing what it means or if its rubbish, I'm talking about the Hungry Ghost Festival, aka, the Seventh Month. [the Chinese calendar]

And yes, the 'gates' are the gates of Hell.

Why I'm saying this? Hmm.. recently theres been a lot of funerals near my house. One just downstairs my block, another 3 [or 2] across the road. I told my dad about it and he told me what I just quoted. It sounds kinda scary... so yeah people, better watch what you say nowadays.

And yes. I've not been catching up on my homework these few days. Actually, I've not been doing my homework at all. Teachers have been chasing me for my homework, especially Mrs Thomas. She must be disappointed - I'm her form class's class chairpsrson! But oh well, I don't know why but I've been lazy to do any homework at all. Argh.

Anyway... today after school me, Alicia and Kerrie went to J8. But we only left school at about 1.35pm cos I had to stay back to collate the opinions [like Strongly Agree, Agree etc.] for the survey form that my class did. only 35 people did the survey, though. Bernice, Nicolette, Elizabeth and err, i forgot who was absent today. Woah. This is also the season to fall sick.

We walked to the bus stop by cutting through Bishan Park. WOAH! Was so near to Ai Tong.. I really want to go back.. today theres another Brownie session. I have been dragging myself to visit ATS every Friday but I keep telling myself "next week bah". And I've been doing that for about half a year now. But when we cut through, I found out how near we were to ATS. I could remember so much - that 7-11 store that we always went to after school to buy ice-cream and doughnuts!! WUAHAHA. And that stupid bus stop near Bishan Park sec.. I just needed to take one bus stop up and I would reach Ai Tong. No wait, I could even walk there lah!

We took 410 to J8, haha. But still was wishing i was back in ATS. =/

Later when we were about to leave J8, we were wondering why it was so noisy. Then we saw that it was raining. Stupid lah! We were like "Err, what the heck?! ITS RAINING?! HOW WE GO HOME!" actually, only me and Cia had that reaction... Kerrie was going for tuition at Somerset.. lucky her. So Cia and I went to Mac and stoned there, until about 4 plus when the rain got lighter then we left.

I finished today's History test in about 10 mins! Okay, maybe cos it was only 2 and a half pages long a test. I noticed that there was a "Sec One Normal Academic" and I was like "WTH! We're not NA lah." I bet Mr Ho became blur again and gave us the wrong paper! But overall the test was super easy... only for some questions it required me some time to think.. and haha! I had about 15 mins sleeping time. Wuahaha. The test was about 25-30mins.. just before the recess bell rang it ended [9.30am] and we started at about 9.05am. So after I finished it I just look through and went to sleep. HAHA. Super shiok larh! Everyone finished it damn early.. including Aaron. He told me he finished it in about 5-6 mins and I was like OMG!

Anyway.. very tired to type [or should I say very lazy]. So haha, I shall end here before I blab on too long and this post becomes two-pages-worth. (:

Lucify Photos!

YAY! Here are some of the Lucify photos!


A random pic of the banner. Hmm, Vic looks weird...

Woah. Someone kena interview worh!
The banner; LUCIFY, SOUL, MI LU BING and J3.
SuperBand!
Lalala, totally RANDOM!~
Melody taking a photo of the banner. Eyerhs, it was so crowded!Lucify! (: very blurr pic... my hand was shaking I guess.
Slightly clearer pic of the banner. That stupid white pole is blocking everything. SEESH!
More random pics...


There (:

I shall upload the other like, 40+ or something pics tomorrow. Heh.

And I will ask Melody to send to me the pics she took. Her camera's colors are nicer... I forgot to set my camera to VIBRANT color setting. =/
Oh gosh. Slept through the afternoon again. =/
Was so tired that I sat down on the sofa while watching some stupid Cartoon Network cartoon my bro was watching and fell asleep. And apparently, left the computer on. Great, just great. So my dad came home and used the computer while I was asleep. I woke up and looked into my room and saw him at the computer table and just went back to sleep.

And yesyes! Cannot wait cannot wait! My parents are considering a new computer! WUAHAHA. I want a totally BLACK one okay! =D

I can't believe NICOLETTE [or Colette =D] and QUIN stayed back to help "revamp" the classroom by clearing the rubbish on the floor, taking down that stupid "1NA" thing at the back of our class on the board, and revamping the updates on the whiteboard. Nicolette was even kind enough to volunteer to help update the board everyday! Like, totally zomg larh! THANKS NICOLETTE! You must understand how much I love you okay! Heh.

And yes, thanks Quin for volunteering your name to be on the duty roster, too. You're the best can! Haha. LOVE! Best sailing teammates too yeah. ;)

Now the classroom is so clean its like, I totally cannot spot rubbish on the floor after we stayed back to clear it up. Tomorrow before the Math and Science week workshop, I'm planning to clean up the teachers' table and the computer.. its damn dusty can. Also tidy up the books behind belonging to sec 5s and 4s, which is currently shoved to the corner of the class behind the teachers' table... its uber dusty can, and the books are like, totally dirty and Quin said "Maybe infested with INSECTS". Eww, GROSS!!!

YAY for Lucify fans, cos I'm gonna upload the damned pics I took at J8.

[cue: SCREAM!]

Yerps. Photographs curtesy of me, so yeah. Hehheh.

BUT for now, I shall go eat dinner and watch TV. Waking up on an EMPTY stomach is badbadbad for health can! Photos can wait... till eternity! Muahaha.

And yesyes, after I kena flu, I even kena gastric. OUCH can! It totally sucks having gastric... argh lah. Now my stomach is feeling very weird.. and a bit pain. And I keep sneezing and coughing. ARGH!
Apparently Shriram, Darren and De Yuan are aware of my blog. So a quick HI! to them (:

Shriram was reading out all my blog posts with him in it. And he was like *in a sissy voice* "Shriram got 40/40 for his Home Econs test blah blah blah..." and was like, irritating me cos those are my blog posts... so lame lah.

And yes, Ms Ham told Mrs Thomas about me talking to my clique too much during Chinese lesson... Maruay, I guess I will have to sit with you now =/ let Kerrie sit with Benedict and call him "ah boy" more often. HAHA.

ARGH. Reported sick during sailing PT today... only flu! Then Quin also had flu... practically most of the 1E girls had flu... all pass here pass there. So both of us reported sick. Then we sit there sian sian while everyone did the warmups, and we helped Ms Cheng to count the forms that we handed in, and I seperated them in 3 groups : Byte, Optimist and Questionmark.

Lin Jie's paper was in the questionmark section. And only HIS. Cos he didn't state which class of boat he was using... he was still unsure whether he is under byte or optimist. Cos Mrs Sidhu is gonna change him... but Mrs Sidhu still considering cos Lin Jie on optimist already slack like hell. OPPOURTUNITY COST [learnt from my dad]! If he goes on byte, he has lesser chance to slack cos the byte is like, 3 times or more faster than an optimist.. no time to sit inside and sleep and bail water. Secondly, optimist needs to use manual bailer while byte, on the other hand, gets an auto-bailer in the boat [WUAHAHA. Being a BYTE sailor is good okay!]. So he doesn't get to play a fool while bailing water. And optimist is big enough for the sailors to even use it as a bed to sleep in while for byte you can't because [the part where the auto bailer is] is quite small, and bytes can pick up wind damn fast, so you will have to be alert at all times if not your boat might just suddenly catch wind with one accidental move of your rudder and poof! You're off~

Anyway.
Quin and I went to watch the rest run, cos I was sian of sitting there infront of ms cheng and mrs sidhu doing nothing so I suggested walking around to fight my boredom. Then we chased after the rest while they were doing their running. 3 PT ROUNDS ONLY! WHAT THE..! Everytime it is 4-6 or sometimes even more rounds lorh! Suddenly cos of 2 weeks break then 3 PT rounds only! Hmph. So we went after them to cheer them on. On the 2nd round at the second floor, we saw Wen Feng like, cannot run liddat. Then I told him "Wah someone still said he can run faster than me hor! And then here he is, missing one round!" then he told me he got fever =/ I was like, "Wah lao! You got fever never tell Mrs Sidhu! STUPID LAH YOU! Got fever still run!!!" and I guess I was talking too loudly cos when we walked downstairs with him, Mrs Sidhu asked him "Oi Wen Feng, you got fever arr." and he told her lorh. Whoops. heheh. Then when they were on their last round and on the second floor, we went to drink water at the watercooler and then we sat down to watch them run. Then Yeong Deng was leaving his class then he saw us and he was like, "Why you never do PT. Slack arr!" so diao.

Learnt something: Never report sick during sailing PT. It can lead you to die from boredom. *nods*

And yeah! Tomorrow no sailing! Sec 1s not going NSC cos of the Math and Science Week workshop tomorrow. And on Thursday the sec 2s are not going cos they are going Sungei Buloh [or how do you spell it?] haha. A sailing session without the sec 2s!!! WAH! Good... then won't get distracted cos when we are having practice race they always distract us with their shouts and screams of scolding whenever they bang into each other =/

Monday, July 24, 2006

Ergh. FINALLY having sailing PT tomorrow. Heh... I will die running again. x)

Yesyesyes! Went to J8 with Melody today..
woke up at 9AM, then go back to sleep until 9:30AM. Then my mom chased me and tell me cannot be late, cos I am always late =(

I was supposed to meet Mel at 10:30am. And when Mel called me to check if I was ready it was just nicely 10:30am and told me that when she was ready she would call me. Heh. Then at around 10:50am she still never call! So my mom asked if we wanted a lift, then I called Melody and she said her dad was still eating so, okay she didn't mind getting a ride from my dad.

When we got to J8's open area on the 3rd floor, there were only 2 rows of people. Hmm... not even 3 rows! Cos its like, you can choose where to sit. So we decided to come back later. We went to Mini Toons and I bought another hairband x) this time, white. Heh! Then I didn't buy my colored shoelaces cos I dunno what color to buy. Aww... (:

Then we walked around etc and when we got back there was slightly more people so we joined in. When it was about 12pm, still not much of a crowd. 12:30pm, still not much of a crowd. Only more people came in. Then 1pm, slightly more people. But still damn little people lah! and this is a ming xing thing lah, so i expected a really huge crowd. In the end at 1:30+ then the open air thingy was slightly more filled, and it was getting very noisy.

At 1:42pm dunno why the front people, like the LUCIFY fc people started standing up, and people behind them f0llowed, and slowly everyone was standing up and rushing to the front. So me and Mel also did the same. Heh. It was super warm there lah, so many people around. It was a bit hard to breathe at first cos its like, suddenly then everyone started squishing each other and pushing, etc. Then I got adjusted, and it was okay. Then we stood there until 2:15pm [superstars are always LATE!!!] and they finally came. Haha. Before that dunno which siao siao people go keep screaming, then the screams made everyone look to the entrance where they will enter from, thinking that all the SuperBand people already come. =/

They didn't do much.. only about 30mins they were on stage. Melody was like, "MISAKI!!! OMGOMG MISAKI!" =/

Then when it was over we stayed to wait for Colin. He go say that got Singapore Idol event, then Melody wanna go. So Mel called him and asked him where he was. Then we walk around and buy ice cream then he finally came. In the end there was no Singapore Idol event lah! He talk so much crap. Then Melody went to take more pics of the SuperBand banner, and then Colin didn't bother waiting for us then he left. Wah lao ei.. then we called him and he was on the 4th floor when we were on the 2nd!!! We just went down then he tell us! =/

When we went up the first thing he did was look at me. Then I looked and him and gave him a "What???" face. Then he asked "Are you Malay?" Ehh, I so wanted to kill him. I was like, "I'm CHINESE, DUH!" and he was like "oh okok" go die lah Colin!!!

Then we left. Then when walking at the outside of the MRT station at Bishan there we saw Yeong Deng, then he like so shocked to see us and so blur liddat. then we waved at him and he did the same and we walked off. Heh.

After we got onto Mel's dad's car, Colin still didn't know we left. He told us he was at KFC and asked where we were. Melody was like, "Wah lao, you at KFC guan wo men shen me pi shi. We already left liao lor! HAHAHA"

Then we go ah mah's house eat blah blah cos we haven't eaten our lunch yet etc... then we ate 2 bowls of ice cream at ah mah's place. WAHH so full liao Melody was still like, oh I still want somemore ice cream!!! - I was so shocked.

When I got home, immediately turn on com! Heheh! =D
I did a new blogskin... planning to submit it at blogskins.com cos I very long never submit skin lerh. I am so flattered, SO MANY PEOPLE WHO VISITED MY BLOG ARE USING MY BLOGSKINS! WOW! But I noticed those with small div tags have gone haywire... like out of line. =/ whoops, sorry people. I will try to get the coding correct and resubmit it. (:

And yes, for FATAL FRAME II fans, congrats, cos the skin I made is on Fatal Frame II, Crimson Butterfly. So yep, go check it out after I bothered to code it, yeah? Will appreciate it. Heh. And yesyes, the skin has this terrible pic of the 2 sisters.... very scary. It took me a lot of guts to make that blogskin cos when I looked at the pic it gave me the creeps. But now its done, so yeah! (:

Buh-bye! =D

Sunday, July 23, 2006

Haha, stop complaining cos I have already updated! x)

Whoosh. PESTA SUKAN coming up MF sailors! Hope that this time, the C div will do better. Even though it might be individual ranking, but oh well.

Planning to go grab some pri 6s from ATS to come MF join sailing. Heh. Especially girls.. otherwise we C div girls have to sail very hard in order to even get close to third placing. =(

This morning went to Hope Church with Yan Wen and Celine. Again, I was late. AHHHHH. Stupid me.. I reminded my mom to wake me up at about 10, but she forgot, and went off to work and left me sleeping!!! AHHHHHH! Supposed to meet Celine at AMK MRT station at 12, and meet Yan Wen at Somerset MRT station. Then at 5 mins to 12 the phone rang, and I woke up. Then my bro told me the phone call is for me and passed to me the phone.

Celine was like "Wah Gwen, why you sound like you just woke up?"
And I was like "Coz I just did..."
Then I looked at the clock. OH GAWD DAMMIT!!! 11.55pm!!! WHAT THE!

So Celine was like, "Err, omg Gwen. You know what? Ban ji ban ya's gonna kill you. Hurry go get ready. See ya at 12."

Then I was still a bit sleepy, so rush rush then 12:20pm then leave house and reached AMK MRT station at 12:30!!! And I heard that it starts at 12:30!!! DIE!!!

Then Celine told me than Yan Wen was so gonna kill me. Then we ran to the barriers there, only to find that Celine's card no money. "Oh shit Gwen WAITTTT! My card no money liao!!! I need top up!" she was like, practically shouting across the barrier to me, cos I already tapped my card. A guy who walked pass me said softly to his friend "No money in your card then top up lah!" and I was like, staring at him. Whats his problem?

Anyway, she took like, almost 10 mins to top up her card. Cos she didn't have enough money, then she couldn't find any $5 note, then blah blah. So when we got up onto the platform it was already 12:40, and this time Celine assured me that Yan Wen was gonna kill me liao lorh.

Then we reached Somerset, saw Yan Wen and her friend, Su Min. [or wassit Shu Min? =/ ]
Yan Wen was like, "WAH! FINALLY! Gwendolyn Neo you wanna die izzit! Huh! Sleeping and dreaming of mou mou ren izzit!!! *points to Celine* And YOU! Don't think I DUNNO! You got yer butt stuck in the mah tong [toilet bowl] and while doing your business you must be thinking of AH ZHU, right!!!" we were like, Err?

Chionged to the Nexus Auditorium only to find we were half an hour late, and that we missed the video clip. Then when the sermon or whatever started, we shifted seats. Then this girl, Celine Koh, came up to meet us. She told me "Hi, Celine." and I thought she was asking if I was Celine. Then ban ji ban ya said "She's Gwen" then she shook hands with me. Then she went to Celine Xie, then said "Hi, Celine." and Celine Xie was like "Huh, you're Celine? Oh hi, I'm Celine!" lol.

Then Christine joined us and talked to us etc. Then we went for lunch, and Yan Wen's friend Fo [something, sorry, forgot how to spell. But it sounded like 'Phonics'?] kept teasing Celine Xie and Celine Koh. She was like, "Celine!!!" then she looks at Celine Koh. Then Celine Koh looks at her and she says, "No, I was calling that Celine! *points to Celine Xie*". LOL. All of Yan Wen's friends kept teasing them about having the same names.

After eating Yan Wen started to throw ice at me. One ice cube even hit my head and I was like WTH!!! She threw ice all over my bag also lah! Then after that she grabbed a whole handful of ice and tried to throw it down my shirt. In the end she did, and wah lao!!! It was so cold lah!!! Then she stood there laughing. GRR.

After that went to Celine XIE's mother's shop to find her mom and my mom. Then we went to Celine's place to get the hamster cage. On the way, Celine, Yan Wen, Su Min and I kept talking about documentaries, especially about the bermuda triangle, cos Celine started that topic and we talked about it for like, until after we got the cage, until we left Celine's house, until we got to Yishun to get Yan Wen's hamster. LOL. People around us was like, kept looking at us. I think they were listening, cos we were debating about the Bermuda Triangle, and what causes the time to stop, and why they were 10mins behind actual time.

Anyway... i think i better go sleep liao. tomorrow at 9 i have to wake up to meet Melody to go to the SuperBand event which starts at 2 and we're leaving our houses at about 10:30am. Wah, so early. I better go sleep now. Buh bye!

p.s. The Fairy's Doll musical was a great sucess! Yay! Especially for Jia Qi, Seraphina and Nicolette. They were the dancers, and I think they put in a lot of effort for this event. YAY for them! =D

Saturday, July 22, 2006

I have practically not posted for like, a week liao! Whoops. Hehhheh.

Thanks to blogger.com giving me some seriously stupid problems.. Like when I tried to upload some photos, the whole thing would hang. And it happens especially when uploading some photos after typing a super long post lah!

Ehh, just now Alicia and Kerrie came over. Alicia was like, not happy cos she waited for nothing.

Today is [duh] racial harmony day. They told us to wear those costumes like saris and those malay traditional costumes etc. Haha, I noticed that only the upper sec like sec 4s and 5s can have like half the class wearing the traditional costumes =/

the lower sec didn't bother at all. Well, only a few. Like for my class, only Shriram, Bernice and Aishah wore the traditional costumes. Bernice looked sorta weird thou, cos the costume she wore was like, white and blue [only the flowers and the scarf or whatever is blue], and she herself is already so white. Clash lah! But Aishah looked nice.. I heard that her traditional costume was made by her mom. Like, how cool is that lah!

Shriram wore a costume that was very simple lah.. but he managed to get nominated for the 'best dressed students' thingy! what crap? I thought Aishah would get nominated or something. But in the end, Shriram also didn't win the best dressed either. HEH. Best class was 4H, followed by 5F [Melody was betting with me and Xin Zhi that 5F would win] and best dressed female and male i totally forgot. Heh.

Today we didn't have English lesson! Wuahaha. It was replaced by this drama lesson thingy. The start was okay lah... but after a while it got a bit boring. The teacher was i guess from Australia or something. He was like, telling us how shocked he was when he was told that lessons start today at 7:30AM. We were like, "Huh? We start school at this time everyday and you only need to teach us for 2 measly english periods every Friday at 7:30AM and you complain???" that kinda thing. Haha.

But sad, after recess we still had Chinese. But cos of the school's musical "The Fairy's Doll" yesterday, our chinese teacher didn't really teach much.. only go through the 'jin ya qian' book, and I believe that many people did badly for the 'jin ya qian' test, which was on some stories in the book. Stupid, I forgot to pack in my jin ya qian! Then Kerrie and Eileen were not in class cos of the stupid FFC - Mr Kwek went mad again - and I was like, oh shit I am sitting alone, Alicia never bring and Kerrie and Eileen aren't here!!!

Mauruay [ehh, is this how to spell his name?] had one book, and Benedict also had! Then both of them are sitting together then Mauruay go lend his book to the other 1A guy. And he was like, [in his Thai accent] "Opps, you are too late." then he told me to share with him and Benedict instead lorh. They sitting infront of me, how I share? Stand up and stare at the book infront as Mauruay tilts it for me meh. Haha. If I move my chair infront might kena scolding from Ms Ham cos she told us to bring our jin ya qian. He was like, [in Thai accent, again,] "You come lah, since you don't have the book." but in the end I never. AHHHH Mauruay I hate you for your talent in piano lah! LOL.

Kerrie came over, and was supposed to be doing the duty roster, seating plan and class tee for the class. In the end she come over and we only play com and talk talk. Then suddenly the door bell rang and after the gate was opened for her and closed, Alicia came into my room and we were like, "CIA! How come you come?" I guessed she was mad at Elizabeth for making her wait for her at Mac near our school for nothing. Aww.

Anyway..
I shall upload the photos of the class I took a few days ago... with the 5 days of me bringing my camera to school. For 2 weeks! Grr, the class made me bring it for 5 days! The photos would be uploaded into another post.. cos since I already spent so much time typing this post, I don't wanna loose it again just cos of a photo. Heh.

A quickie...

Hmm okay shall do a quick one.. since its already so late.

I brought my camera to school again, and told Mrs Thomas about taking the class photo, again.

and AGAIN, about 70-80% of the class was reluctant to take the class photos - AGAIN. Argh. Can they understand that I've brought my camera to school for like, 3 days straight already? Just so that we could take the class photos???

Anyway.
During first period Science, which is on the 2nd last period of the day, we took the Science class test, and woah, I think I would flunk it badly. I didn't even study at all, thinking it was supposed to be on next week. And lemme tell you this - rushing through your notes at the last 5 mins before the test starts, doesn't help much.

The paper is 15 mins. Yes, 15 mins. That shows you how easy the paper is supposed/meant to be. But obviously, Gwendolyn Neo here didn't bother studying and hence, sat there scratching her head wondering what the answer might be. Haha! Okay seriously, I was sitting there and SWINGING MY PEN, as usual [now that I am getting better at it, I swing my pen whenever I have got nothing to do, or when I am nervous. HA!]. The Science lab is not exactly the right place for you to be fretting over your Science class test.

Before we started the class test, Ms Parimala was going through with us about the microscope and its parts, as it is tested in the class test that she gave us. So she drew a picture of a microscope on the whiteboard in the Science lab, then she labeld the parts.

Then, she told us which part was what name, and what that part of the microscope does. So I sat there watching as she slowly wrote the name for each part. "Coarse adjustment... fine adjustment... mirror... objective lens... yadayada etc dtc." I kept telling myself. Haha.

After Ms Parimala was done with going through the parts with us, she turned to us, gave out our class test papers, and told us to start. And the best thing was, SHE FORGOT TO ERASE OFF THE DRAWING OF THE MICROSCOPE FROM THE WHITEBOARD, meaning ALL THE ANSWERS FOR THE MICROSCOPE LABELING SECTION WAS ON THE BOARD!! Haha! Everyone was like "Ei, the answers are on the board. Hurry hurry, go copy! Go copy lah!!!" and everyone flipped their papers to the page with the microscope labeling part and scribbled. Haha. Then Shriram said "Erm, Ms Parimala, you didn't erase off the answers." and everyone went "what the heck!" LOL.

So when I finished the class test around 15 mins later, I was like, damn sad. Even though the test is upon 20 marks lah, but I feel that I should have studied. Hais. Nevermind, whats done is done, whats past is past. Now I just have to study for my D&T test next week!

Friday, July 14, 2006

It was not picture perfect at the end of the day...

Wahaha! Today was what I can say was a fun day for me x)

D&T totally rocks lah!

Before D&T started, Mr Raihan was discussing with us about the world cup finals:
Why Zidane headbutted that Italian player?

OF COURSE THAT ITALIAN PLAYER WAS IN THE WRONG. Zidane is of course, INNOCENT! We talked about World Cup, then argued about which country is better and why, and about Zidane's headbutt and who was in the wrong, etc. It was generally fun discussing about WC during lesson time. HAHA.

Today was me and Aaron's first day at like, cutting and sawing, etc the acrylic. It was like, our first day at doing practical! So excited. At first, Janisha and Beverly told me to use the saw to saw the acrylic first, instead of using the machine.

I see them saw until wanna die. Haha. And the sound coming from the saw was HORRIBLE. It sounded like your sharp nails going down across those kind of blackboards used in the olden days - those kind where you use chalk instead of markers. I used the saw for a while, then I noticed I saw until damn ugly. No choice. Then it was damn hard to saw lah! So i decided to stand by the machines and watch everyone do their work. I watched Ci Ping, Wigene, Hui Min, Darren etc use the machines.

It looked damn scary... I was sorta scared to go near the machine. It was MOVING. gosh, literaly MOVINGGGGG! I was like, omg is it gonna tear my acrylic into HALF? who knows, it might SWALLOW my acrylic. MAYBE, maybe. You. Would. Never. Know.

Anyway, in the end Mr Raihan demo-ed for me and Aaron, and practically helped me finish cutting my acrylic x)

So Aaron and I tried, I had a bit of problem with the machine at first, then Aaron got the hang of it and came over to help me as I kept screaming, worried that my 'heart' would shatter. Well, I drew a heartshape on my acrylic. At first I spent like, 40mins drawing a sorta cross, like, with triangular ends. Then I was always not satisfied, and then I decided to stick to something simple. So, a heartshape was the best x) But since I also spent so much time perfecting the heartshape, my REAL heart would shatter if I cut it wrongly. haha.

Finally, I finished cutting it, and started filing it etc to make it look better. EYUCK the sound when you start filing your acrylic totally sucks lah! Very 'screechy'. Hmm.

After D&T was Math. MS LIM DIDN'T COME TO SCHOOL! haha! So then we went up with Ms Oh to the library for the two groups to present our Math projects - my group and Alexandra's group. haha.

But in the end, NO ONE presented. My diskette with my powerpoint presentation gave me problems, AGAIN. Alexandra's group also hasn't finished their stuff yet, so her group's presenting on Tuesday.

Then, Ms Oh tried transfering the files from my diskette into her thumbdrive, because her laptop doesn't have a drive for DISKETTES. See? Even Ms Oh thinks diskettes are not the 'in' thing now. =/

And the ppt couldn't be transfered, thanks to the idiot diskette, causing so many problems for me during IPW and now, MATH!

Then we are also presenting on Tuesday. Haha, we went up to the hall to do our presentation, and ended up none of the groups supposed to present today presented their projects. Haha.

After school, Kerrie and I went to the breifing for the Class Commitee and for the NE Ambassadors [however you spell it]. We were asked to learn ZERO POINT at first, but ended up there was a mistake, and we ended up practising CHACTEK! [or how you spell it?]

So pek chek, we practiced like siao. And we were chased out of our practising locations 3 times!!! THREE TIMES. First time we went outside to practice, then OM Han came over and complained we make too much noise etc, when we were actually asked to practice there!

So we went outside the computer labs, and there was a class there. As the corridor we were practising in was small, noise, of course, was enhanced. And the teacher conducting lessons in there chased us to somewhere else to practise. As we left, we complained and grumbled that it was the second time we were chased away, and the teacher said "Don't worry, there wouldn't be another time."

Then we went to the corridor on the second floor I think. Then the cleaning auntie saw us and was scared we kick until accidentally kick the wall, and that we would be careless enough to leave our shoeprints on the beige-y walls. So she also chased us somewhere else to play. SEESH!

So we moved about to 3 different locations just to practice some game for RACIAL HARMONY week, where we shall be tending to the stall and people would come down in classes and come to our stations during SEE lessons on Wednesday for lower sec and I think Monday for upper sec.

After that, Kerrie and I waited at the bus stop for Alicia and Eileen, which apparantly while waiting for us, Alicia went with Eileen to cut hair. I mean, Alicia cut her hair, not Eileen. Haha. Then we boarded the 265 that they boarded so that we could go to Kerrie's place to choreograph the dance moves for the dance exam thingy, which replaced the recorder playing during the second semester.

We chose the song "Leave (get out)" by JoJo at first. I just totally love the song.

So at first when we got to Kerrie's place, she had problems burning the songs into the disc and everything. Then after that, she had problem playing the songs. Then a long long long time later, when we got everything done, we sat on the floor of kerrie's hall and thought of what moves to make.

Then after that we couldn't come up with any dance moves, even though i suggested some, they totally dissed it off.

So, they chose the song I WRITE SINS NOT TRAGEDIES instead!!! I totally didn't wanna dance to that song. So artsy!!! I hate dancing in an artsy way.. I liked hip hop. Haha. I wish i can go for lessons again =/

But then, all three of them [Kerrie, Alicia and Eileen] wanted that song instead of Leave (get out). Like, WTH?! We already decided on Leave (get out), and at home during my free time I would try to make some moves myself. And its like, I spent most of my time trying to come up with moves for THAT song. And when we got to Kerrie's place, they totally dissed my ideas, and didn't consider some ideas I suggested for the start of the song. I was damn angry, but I just didn't say anything to them, since they wanted I Write Sins Not Tragedies by PANIC! At The Disco so much. I was feeling damn pissed, but didn't show it of course.

Then they started making up the moves. I totally didn't wanna be part of it. For once, I actually felt like quitting that group for the dance, since I had like, no decision there. Everything was about them. The whole thing was about them. I wanted to quit and go to Jia Qi's group, since they already wanted to ask me at first. And they are dancing to Hilary Duff's "Fly". Hmm, my favourite song!!! =D

But since I was doing it with Kerrie they all, they couldn't ask me to join.

I was expecting to do some of the moves i tried at home. But at Kerrie's place, all my ideas were turned down, and believed that they were counted 'silly' or 'totally not suitable for the song', which apparantly at that time was Leave (get out). If i had known they would wanna change the song to something so artsy-fartsy and so... whatever, I would have joined Jia Qi's group, which I totally believe my ideas would be respected there.

I remember me suggesting one part for the song Leave (get out), which was when JoJo sang "And I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies". I suggested like, putting up our hands in a like, 'wondering' position. Like, when you say "Why?" your palms would be facing the sky right? haha. like that. Then they said "No lah, liddat the song why suddenly got one indian dance move come out liddat! No lar, looks silly lorh. Don't do that lah."

and then Kerrie just had imitate the move that I showed her, but made it to look like it was an indian dance move, where your hands would be like, moving one up one down instead. She made it look funny, and Alicia and Eileen laughed. I felt insulted - I felt like getting out of there, like what the song described. I wanted to leave that group for the dance and join Jia Qi, where my suggestions would be heard and considered and respected. And at least might be used.

In the end, I just went ahead to their decision by shrugging. What? You expected me to go "WAH LAO EI! Can you like, freaking stop insulting what I suggest?! At least consider it right?!?! What for you just make it look so damn freaking funny, when I was serious! Why don't you all stop making fun of what I suggest, and be serious! WHY! Can you also like, stop turning down my suggestions? At least you can like, TRY IT OUT BEFORE YOU LAUGH AT IT AND HURT MY FEELINGS!"

I totally felt like screaming that, but I dunno why I just shrugged and let it pass instead.

When they chose I Write Sins Not Tragedies, I wanted to scream "Hey! You all agreed to Leave (get out)! Why are you changing it?! STICK TO WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY DECIDED ON AND STOP CHANGING EVERYTHING!" but I didn't say anything, and they took it as a yes that I was okay with it. Freak lah, FREAK.

When they started choreographing the moves, I found some of the moves weird looking, but they all liked it. Well, I didn't. But of course, nothing was said. They seemed so happy choreographing the moves that I didn't want to turn down what they were suggesting, and it was a 3 VS. 1 basis. I wouldn't win, they would argue until I went with it, if not they would show black faces and throw a tantrum and sorta stop talking to me, until i cooperated.

I guess only Kerrie noticed I wasn't really happy, but when she asked I said nothing was wrong.

The moves were weird, yes. They were arty, yes. They weren't hip hop, yes they weren't. They were moves I would consider a bit silly in my dictionary, yes. The song was totally what I didn't wanna dance to, yes. The song was not hip hop, but was more of a kinda song where the moves you would think of when dancing to that song is ARTY, yes. The song wasn't hip hop kind, yes. The song was the last on my list to be danced to, yes.

Argh. Why can't I feel respected when I hang out with AGEEK? At least sometimes with Jia Qi they all, I feel very respected, and so are my decisions. Thats why I respect them too, for respecting me and my decisions and suggestions, etc.

So.. I just went ahead with the dance moves they made up. I guess I only contributed to 0.1% of the dance. All my other moves were turned down or like, considered and not included. Felt so hurt when I practiced. I felt like getting lost, as I felt that I wasn't a part of this dance at all - only a co-dancer, those that would dance at the sidelines while the main/lead dancers steal the show, and you don't get a share of being noticed.

Yep, it sorta felt like that.

Say aloha to our board games people!

Currently rushing through a Math project powerpoint presentation. Must be handed in tomorrow. AHHH I am gonna die if i cannot complete it!!!

Anyway.
Today's Math lesson is what I can call the best. Why? We were brought up to the library after recess, the moment Ms Oh and Ms Lim came in. Then the groups that were supposed to present their presentation today for their Math projects [the board games etc] presented and introduced what they did.

Mainly, everyone did board games. Haha.

Most innovative and creative one so far: Pearlyn's group. Shall take a picture of it or something tomorrow if I can, and post it here. Its really nicely done, and its something like the game of life. =)

The moment we saw Pearlyn's group present their board game, with a custom-made box and all, we looked at our own board and felt very...

Pek Chek [or however you spell it].

Compared to theirs, ours is like, small and tiny. As in, for our board game, we seem to have spent much lesser time on our board, and for their board, they seemed to have spent like, weeks of hard effort on it. But okay honestly, we didn't spend much time on ours. Hahah.

My group's presenting tomorrow, and Math is the last period tomorrow! Haha, we would most probably spend our whole time in the library presenting and then when the last bell rings we shall just leave the library. Haha. Its like, damn shuang. The library is nice! LOL.

Again, no one paid attention in Ms Oh's English lesson.

This morning at the start of the day before my Chinese teacher came in to conduct her lessons, I took out my camera and starting photos of everyone. Hehe.

The class, though, was reluctant to take a class photo. I guess many were camera-shy. =/

anyway.
I guess i shall carry on with my ppt. Nono, i shall take a break now and go eat dinner while i play maple.

And I think my dad is going to get us a new computer, seeing how our current computer has been giving us multiple problems time and time again. =/

But if we get the computer, i shall wait a long long time before i get my laptop =/
sigh. all for the convienience of everyone. including me. ahah.

Don't help us - don't get respect.

Recently the lessons in class are BORING lah. Its like, we had this new trainee teacher Ms Oh to come teach our class English and Math, replacing Mrs Thomas and Ms Lim during her 'trainee period'.

Not to be mean or anything, but I think the whole class doesn't respect her. I guess one reason is because her teaching methods are quite boring, and it seriously bores us out. How do I know that everyone doesn't respect her? - well, no one does her homework, period.

Kerrie told me even Jia Qi and Seraphina don't do her homework. She is not getting any respect from anyone in our class. Even when we great her good morning or in any sense good afternoon, the class suddenly lost the enthusiasim for greating teachers. We have become like, very enthu-less. As in, seriously, no one in my class respects her. I guess she should brush up on her teaching methods?

Now I am currently spending 2 weeks away from sailing. Yay! No sailing for 2 weeks. The 2 weeks is our break, thanks to the competitions we went to. We missed many lessons.. so yeah, we have to buck up.

Today during Math, while Ms Oh was scribbling some weirdo formula for dunno what number sequence or something i don't know, Ms Lim told us our results for class test. I was praying and hoping, and kept saying in my mind "Pass. Pass. Pass. Pass. Pass. Come on lah, pass already!" etc. Since Ms Lim didn't read out my register number, and Elizabeth had something to ask, she came over to our table and after answering Elizabeth's question, Ms Lim showed me my results.

a WHOOPING 0/20.

I was sitting there stoning while Ms Lim pat my back and said "You have to buck up okay Gwen?" and walked off to see what Pamela needed. I told Elizabeth how much I got and Elizabeth went "Huh? Omg, really?!" that kinda thing. Then Darren overheard, and he asked "Gwen, you okay?"

Seriously, no crying or crap, but I was really upset. I mean, at least lemme get one freaking mark already! But instead i didn't even have 1 mark. Seesh, whatta looser.

I have decided to push myself this time and study, study, study! Anyone wanna join me as I like, chiong homework, pop questionmarks ontop of my head while looking at the Math textbook, etc? Haha. I guess I can't study alone... it'd not be any help if you don't have anyone to help you with your work. when you need help. haha.

Joseph, Nicholas and I gave the Student Councilors' speech thingy today. Yep, all 3 of us together, reading out the lines types out on the script. We were the only people who did 3-at-a-time that kinda thing. Everyone else did their speeches individually. Haha. The sailors are so special. S cube [3]! Sailors So Special. SSS, S cube [3]! =D ahaha lame crap lah.

Anyway, Jing Yi, Janisha and Jody [J cube (3)! LOL] cheered for me. As in, they shouted "WHOO!!!" that kinda thing for me. Aww, so touched. Even though I didn't hear it, but thanks for cheering for me. Hehe. So nice of you 3. Though no one else cheered along with you, cos i understand, it'd be too paisei. haha.

But too bad, I didn't hear it. But after they told me that they cheered for me, I totally hugged them back. Hahas.

Hmm... shall go sleep now. Its already 12:02AM! Diediedie. Was chionging homework and ended up coming to post on my blog. Haha. And YES! I managed to chiong 3 levels in Maple! From level 10 I trained till I was level 13 just now. YAY! =D

Okay, night! =]

Monday, July 10, 2006



Oh wow, Mrs Sidhu just told me that she put up the photo she took of me and Ning Xin at the National Sailing Center on the Smile 2006 website for Singapore.

Luckily the photograph's icon is small. haha.
http://www.smiles2006.com/module/mural&int_cur_position=12296&h=16719

Anyway. Today I had Kerrie and Alicia over to complete our Math project work and to form the dance steps for the Hip Hop thingy exam in school. Haha. Initially we were supposed to be doing project work, but we ended up having Alicia and Kerrie taking turns to hog the computer's internet, and after that when we saw my brother watching Spongebob Squarepants we decided to join him, then after that show Kerrie was browsing through the channels on SCV, when she came across "Panic Room", and so we watched that too.

At about 5 then the show ended. LOL.

shall post some pictures that I took today when they came over. haha.

Whee for World Cup; GERMANY!

Yesterday I was supposed to stay up with my dad to watch World Cup, where GERMANY and PORTUGAL [whoops, i dunno how to spell that. lol] fights for 3rd and 4th place, but when I reached home from Celine's place at about 2:50AM, I was like, super sleepy lah.

So my dad was like, "Are you sure you can handle it annot.. you look so sleepy already." so i told him I could stay up, cos I wanna watch Germany WIN! Okay, so apparently I couldn't tahan late nights, or should I say early mornings. So like, 20mins into the game, I started falling asleep. I drank coffee, also cannot stay awake. That proves it - Coffee doesn't keep you awake!!!

So my dad told me to go sleep, since my eyes are like, closing already. So I did, and of course i was a bit disapointed that i couldn't stay awake to watch the match 'Live'! Its a match with Germany in it somemore!

This morning when I woke up the first thing I said was "So how? Whats the results? Did Germany win?!?!" and my dad said something like "Poor Germany-" and i cut in "-WHAT?!?! GERMANY LOST?!?! OMGOMGOMG NOOOO.....!!!!" and he said "-they played so well and got third." and I was like, "They WON??? THEY WON?!?! THEY WOOOOONNNNNNNNNN?!?! YES!!! YES YES YES WHOOOO GERMANY!!!" and started bouncing on my bed. lol. I can't believe i fell for my dad's tricks. haha.

They won 3-1! Germany is; oooh so AWESOME! Don't you just LOVE GERMANY?! At least they got 3rd in the WORLD CUP! So happy, I believe I can jump for joy for the whole day!

Tomorrow I'm going back to school, to STUDY. Ahh, the fresh smell of the textbooks, the stuffiness of the classroom! WELCOME BACK TO 1Endeavour, Gwen! =D I'm so happy to finally be able to catch up on schoolwork again. Haha.

But bad news, I heard from Kerrie. Science test coming up. Argh, I hate Science more than I hate err.. more than i hate..... err.. aiya more than i hate anything i hate. =]

I heard we have a lot of homework too. Ergh! *bangs head on wall*

But finally, what the whole sailing team has been waiting for -
Our deserved break of 2 weeks! =D relive the glory man, relive the glory!

No sailing and no sailing Physical Training for 2 weeks! Everyone must be happy. But I'm sorta worried, cos of the Pesta Sukan regatta coming up next. After the 2 weeks break, we only have about 2 weeks to train before Pesta Sukan. Oh well, guess i had better buck up and train hard for Pesta Sukan and like, at least allow our school to be able to win another throphy =D

Anyway. My computer has been giving me more problems. Argh. I think i shall blow up soon. Grr, damn this computer. NEVER buy manually assembled computers like mine, NEVER! They suck lah can! Sigh, why couldn't my dad just buy like, one proper computer assembled in factories?!

Shall go finish up my literature homework now... cos tomorrow i think i have to hand it in or something.

And oh ya, I finally put my deviantART account into good use! I uploaded 3 Deviations at about 7 plus just now. You might just wanna go check it out later. =D I love photography!

http://gwend-n.deviantart.com/ my deviantART account, do go visit it and tell me what you think of my 3 deviations. But if you are not interested in photography, this might totally not interest you, thanks to all my deviations being photos. You also mustmustmust go see Ferus's works. Her works are LOVELY okay! She's my idol in DA. Haha.

Tata. =D

Whoops, just too random

Yep, random post, random post. Nothing to do now, grr. So i shall post.

Since i was still full from yesterday's buffet at Seoul Garden with the MF sailors, I sorta skipped lunch today. shhh, I'll get killed by my parents if they ever found out i skipped a meal x)

Yan Wen just called, asked if my friend asked me along to the church, and asked me to walk with her at AMK Central. oh well, I need to go Popular anyway.. to buy black markers for the Math project game board that we're making. Maybe I should buy some card too to make a box for it. Haha.

Can't wait for the sailing photos that Mrs Sidhu took during Interschools to be out. Rahah! All the whacky photos we took after the prize presentation =D

Oh well, post tonight again if i have nothing to do. Tata =)

We pigged! =D

Opps, mistake. The B girls got 4th, thanks to Raffles Girls Secondary!

This was the original positions, starting from second position:
2nd; TKG [Tanjong Katong Girls]
3rd; MF [Mayflower, duh]
4th; RGS [Raffles Girls]

And then, RGS just had to ask for redress. And of course it was successful.
2nd; RGS
3rd; TKG
4th; MF

So they pushed our results down, argh. But the B girls still got a throphy! Though its 4th position, at least we still got something to be proud of.

As we sat there at the hall of NSC watching as a speech was made, throphies for individuals given out, throphies for the Optimist winnners, Laser winners, 420 winners, and lastly, Byte.

I think out of all the schools sitting their waiting for their schoolmates or schools to be given the throphies, i think MF was the only school who sat there waiting for only one throphy. Each and every other school who were there at least got about, 3 or 4 or more throphies!

VJC [Victoria Junior College] even got 19 throphies! Well, I noticed that for the 420 prize presentation part, their school practically clinched all the throphies. I think only one pair not from VJC managed to get the throphy for 420 class. LOL. Every other throphy for 420 class was given to VJC's 420 sailors.

So was the Laser class. VJC got many throphies for 420 and for Laser. Envious! Hope that our school would be able to do as well as them one day =D

For each sailor given out the individual prizes, the 3rd gets a cap, and the 2nd gets a UV SUIT! and you know what the champion gets?

A LIFE JACKET [or you can say buoyancy vest]!!!

And its the one i want to get! It costs 90 bucks. NINETY BUCKS!!! I saw it at the shop at NSC. Its the life jacket Zach and Tzu Ling has. I want to get one too, cos using the MOESSC life jackets are so... troublesome sometimes. You have to wash the life jackets and go all the way to the racks either at the school boats area or if not the optimist parking racks there to put it back.

I'd rather have my own life jacket, then I only need to wash it, no need to go all the way from one end of NSC to another just to put back some life jackets. LOL

We juniors [again] spent the whole day lazing around, with nothing to do. Mrs Sidhu went out to sea to help out on the byte course, and since the graduated seniors Farhana, Mui Fang and Keith came back hoping that we would win a prize, we were under their charge.

Most of the sec ones spent the day soaking in the sea water in the MOESSC life jackets and in our bootes. Haha, we played monkey with Mubarak's soccerball and played frisbee with some random bucket cover or something we found floating in the sea.

Before that, we were burying up people like Darren, then I heard the other group was burying Joseph alive, then Mubarak. Poor Mubarak, when he got buried, the guys carved for him disgusting stuff on the sand for him. Well, the guys and girls stuff. You get the idea, lets just say that they were horny.

Before that when I heard about Joseph being buried, I walked to the other end to see, but when I went there, I saw Quin and Darren and Wen Feng walking out, so i walked back to Mubarak there with them. Then when walking halfway there, I accidentally stepped hard on a thorn and I screamed. I wasn't wearing slippers cos the waves kept trying to wash out my slippers when I wore them, so it was hard to walk. It was very pain, so i limped back to where Justin and Wei Ming were burying Mubarak.

Then I sat down and wondered why it was still so pain, and I realised that the thorn went deep into my foot. And it hurts a lot when I walked. So i sat there for a long time trying to squeeze it out, then Peck Khee found out what happened and she kept telling me to tell Farhana, but I didn't want to and in the end when I couldn't squeeze it out, she rushed over to inform Farhana. Then Farhana and Mui Fang came over to see what happened, and Mui Fang suggested taking a pin to poke it out, while Darren told me to use a nail clipper to clip off some skin and try to squeeze it out again. LOL

So i sat there squeezing it out while everyone played in the water. The thorn was deep in my foot, so it took me a while and my foot bled a bit while attempting to get it out. Ouch. Then when a bit of it came out, Darren helped me to dig it out with his fingers while I kept screaming "No need!!! No need!!!" lol. In the end he did, and when he got it out he screamed "YAY ITS OUT!!!!" lol. But he threw it off lah, so I didn't see it. My foot started bleeding a bit where the thorn was, ouch again. He told me the thorn was quite long, and luckily i got it out. LOL. So I thanked him and went tell Farhana they all that i got it out and they told me to go wash the wound cos there was a lot of sand there. LOL.

Yesterday after the prize presentation, the MF sailors went to AMK Central's SEOUL GARDEN to pig out!

Everyone was rushing to flag up for the taxi outside of school. Then the seniors managed to get it first, then me, Ning Xin, Peck Khee, Yi Xuan and Quin managed to 'steal' the other taxi that came from Jack and David they all. LOL.

Then when we got there, Kai Xin and Samantha were walking outside, so we stopped outside Seoul Garden [and caused a conjestion for a while] and caught up with them. Then we saw one of the graduated seniors, Joanne. And we went in.

Slowly, everyone started coming in group by group. I think Wei Ming and Darren and dunno who were the only ones who went to take bus. Everyone else took a taxi. LOL.

When everyone got there, we waited for Mrs Sidhu for a long time before she came in with her husband, then we all started to rush for the drinks, then everyone started grabbing food, etc. Everyone ate so much, and drank so much. Even me. I ate till I felt like puking, cos we took too much meat and we had to finish it. Haha.

We tried shoving some to the boys table, but it was unsuccessful. Then Justin tried shoving some prawn onto our table, and we shoved it back to him. HAHA.

I think in the whole meal, the only person who didn't gain much weight was Chee Teng, cos he's vegetarian. So he could only eat all the veggie stuff and drink drinks while everyone ate so much. Haha. Ning Xin said it was bad to be vegetarian. haha.

I didn't even eat any vege! The table I was at [Ning Xin, Yi Xuan, Peck Khee and I] didn't want to eat any vege, so we only ate MEAT for the whole meal lor!! Feel so fat xD

We pigged out at Seoul Garden till about 10+ [in the night, duh]. Before we left. Everyone sat there and the graduated senior Keith went around showing us his handphone, which he typed in on the messaging area : "At the end of the meal make sure you thank cher"

So when Mrs Sidhu was about to say "lets go" or whatever, the seniors stood up and went "one, two, three" and we said "Thank you Mrs Sidhu." very unenthusiastically. But after we said that, everyone started clapping and whooting VERY enthusiastically. LOL. Everyone at Seoul Garden was staring at us.

After that, since AMK Central was so near my place, I walked home with my dad, who met me at the outside of Four Seasons, cos it was late.

And the moment i went back, I fell asleep after washing up. Was too tired.. lol.

The results...

ARGH. Ms Cheng just showed me this link :
http://web.vjc.moe.edu.sg/dept/pe/sailingconvenor.htm

so from there i went to this :
http://web.vjc.moe.edu.sg/dept/pe/Sailing%20Convenor%202006/C_Girls_Results.xls

I am so ashamed of myself. LOL. My name is like, printed there for the whole world to see!!! =(
anyway who cares. Wait till the next regatta, my name shall shoot up. LOL.

http://web.vjc.moe.edu.sg/dept/pe/Sailing%20Convenor%202006/C_Boys_Results.xls
oh well, poor Ryan and David. At least for this, the boys got 5th! The girls got 6th. Sigh.

Yay B Division! =D

Now that the competitions for C division are over, I now must concentrate on my studies! =D

Since Tuesday, all the sailors have not been doing any studying, so oh well. But now my parents have been nagging about my cca affecting my studies, and now I must put in double effort to prove to them that even though I spend more time sailing than studying these few days, my standard for studies will still be the same! JIAYOUS i tell myself.

Today the B division did really well.

THIRD among all the schools for B Div! We were all so shocked. Well, maybe not all, because its not by luck that they got 3rd. They are like, professionals compared to us in sailing. Its not luck, its the fact that they got skill. Oh well, now I must train harder, as the sailors are going for another REGATTA soon in August!

Really looking forward to it... I think its called Pesta Sukan regatta. From the MF gallery photos. haha. But after the Interschools we have a 2 week break from sailing, and after that we only have about 2 weeks to train before the Pesta Sukan. Lets just hope that the C Div [including me, duh] trains harder so that we could at least get good positions for the races?

Peck Khee is moving onto byte soon. I heard Lin Jie was too, until Mrs Sidhu felt he had a problem with his attitude for sailing. From what Mrs Sidhu and Ms Cheng told us, Lin Jie's sail was flapping most of the time, and he was actually spending most of his time slacking in the boat and dunno why, but he was also bailing water, throughout the whole few races! Mrs Sidhu said she could see Lin Jie from land, cos she brought binoculars along.

Today since the C Div didn't sail, we spent most of our time at the so-called 'hall' of NSC.

This morning when we were at school waiting for the bus to bring us to NSC, the sky started getting darker and darker...

It was like, night time, except the sky was slightly lighter than at night. At least we could sorta clearly see your hands when we were at school waiting. But it was, really really dark.

When the students assembled, we were still waiting for the bus. So we went out onto the car park of the school and waved our hands up in the air and exclaimed about how dark the sky was and how they might hoist up the AP over A [or I think its H] flag at NSC, so that we could go home. LOL

As soon as the bus came and we boarded, it started to rain. When we got to NSC, the rain still wasn't that heavy, but as soon as we got our stuff and sat at the hall of NSC for a while, it started to really pour!

Nicholas took out his Uno cards [Winnie the Pooh version! =D ] and we all started playing. The seniors took out their poker cards and played games like teiti, blackjack etc. We stayed there for a while, and finally we went to the outside of the auditorium of NSC to play Uno, which meant outside at pond there, we always called it.

Mrs Sidhu saw us playing as she walked pass, and she went "Wah, how come your cards got Winnie the Pooh on it somemore!" and she took the cards in my hand to examine it. She seemed a bit shocked it was not the normal, old red and whie Uno. Then she returned the cards to me and left. Haha.

Then after that we had fried rice, and we went back to the hall for breifing. Then as soon as the breifing was over, we went to help the seniors rig up their boats. It was still drizzling then, and everyone got really wet and stuff.

After that, the boys stayed in the hall, and the girls went to 'hibernate' in the "bags area" in the girls' toilet. LOL. We chatted a bit, and listened to music and played our handphone games and stuff, and Mrs Sidhu came in and we talked a bit more about people in sailing, what we felt during the competition, and since Luo Ling was the only B Div girl with us then, Mrs Sidhu asked her how she felt, and gave her some [as ms cheng said] 'motherly advice' to Luo Ling. haha.

Then they announced for the Optimist sailors to launch first, and Laser and Byte sailors had to wait for further notice. Then when the seniors launched, the winds were so strong! Ning Xin and I gasped at each other as we saw everyone hiking out like mad, and we were like, "OMG I want to sail in this wind okay! This wind is like, fabulous!!! I AM ITCHING TO SAIL!!!" even though we only had not sailed for about, one night and a few hours into the morning. But seriously, the wind was FANTASTIC! As soon as some sailors from other schools launched thier boats [mrs sidhu called them, the sotong sailors] into the sea, they capped. LOL. We were really itching to sail in that strong wind as people started to capsize even before they got onto their boats lol.

Then the day went past, we had pizza [i only had one slice cos I accompanied Lu Xin to go sit down and watch the byte sailors sail in that oh-so-strong-wind and she didn't wanna go back], we did homework, listened to music, slacked and watched the boys play soccer, then we played Aaron's yoyo, and I played frisbee with Quin and Aaron, then when the boys were playing soccer they kicked the ball over and it landed onto the rocks, and they had to go down to get it. About 3 times they did that. And the 3rd time? Well, lets just say I was wondering why the boys stayed at the 'ledge' of sand mourning, then I looked over and saw their soccerball floating in the sea. LOL.

We waited a while before the tide washed it in and it got caught in the rocks. It took the guys a really long time to retrieve the ball lor!!! LOL.

Okay shall post tomorrow... very tired now. Better pack my bootes and sailing camp shirt for tomorrow, as the seniors are wearing their SCHOOL UNIFORM AND TIE for the prize presentation, while we watch on jealous in our SAILING CAMP TEE. hmph.

Bye! =D

Thursday, July 06, 2006

Argh, today was disasterous! Though I have to say the winds today was totally my favourite type of wind : moderate!

I might not be sure if you'd classify it under moderate. But for me I guess it was..

Anyway, today the last 3 races were conducted. The last day of the race, so we have to really give it our all and pull up the ratings from yesterday.

During the 5th race [also the first race of the day, cos I also count it the races from yesterday], I had quite a good start, and I followed the tips given by Mrs Sidhu before we went for the race. She told me to point until my tell-tale drops, and then bear away a little. I tried that, and realised that I was even closer to the first buoy then before! I was so glad and gloated over the girl behind me - who obviously beared away too much and ended up having to do extra distance before tacking up.

I expected my positions today to be good too, but I still remained at 19/20. Actually, now the 'other' 20 came, and hence I am not counted as 18/20 but 19/20. Mubarak saw me staring at the bulletin board after I finished packing up and getting ready to leave. He laughed a bit, but then he said "Its okay lah. At least you never get last what." then he looked at the Boys C' Division Provisionals [or whatever] results and went "tsk tsk". He pointed at David and Ryan's score. Both of them were the last two. I guess they must be feeling pretty bad now. Poor them.

Then for the 6th race, I could have beat Ning Xin [my sec 2 senior] to the finish line, but since her score was the one being submitted to the total score for counting for the school's positioning, I gave way to her and beared away to loose a bit of my wind, and after she passed the finish line, I sheet in a little more and passed the line. She seemed so happy to have beaten me... but oh well, all for the school.

Yi Xuan, on the other hand, didn't do as badly as us. Her positioning for all the races was 9/20! On the final result I mean. As in, after all the races. She was so upset when we went to Mac with Peck Khee. She said "Wah lao, my positioning sucks lar. 9/20 leh! So what lar..." and Peck Khee said "You are indirectly suan-ning us you know." because both of our positions were very bad. But Yi Xuan still insisted that her positioning was considered bad.

Anyway, on the 7th race, the winds really picked up and from moderate, it became strong.

Everyone was hiking out, and so was I. Tried my best to keep the boat flat, but it was hard for me to be able to do so, as the wind was so strong. So I decided to use one hiking strap instead of two. It was easier to keep the boat flat when hiking out with one toe strap instead of two, but its also easier to fall out.

So i was careful not to fall out and make my boat capsize. But at the last race it was my unluckiest. When going on a Run, I was so close to rounding the 3rd buoy! But when I was about one boat length away from the buoy, my boat capsized and I lost 4 positions as people sailed past me, including Ning Xin. She was actually slower than me for about all the 3 races today! But before we both cross the finish line, I would give in to her. lol.

But when I uprighted the boat and went on a Reach to jybe around the buoy, I noticed that if I could just sailed faster I could catch up and get back my 4 positions. And so I sailed, sheet in, point and point and bear away and bear away and hiked out like I was mad and I caught up with Ning Xin! She was actually 3 positions before me, but I actually caught up with her!

I was amazed at myself, and Ning Xin went "I'm gonna get trashed, and I don't want to get trashed by you too!" or something like that. But now she was nearer to buoy 2, but yet she overlayed, and I ended up infront of her when going on a Run. But in the end she still beat me to the finish line by about, half a boat?

When recovering our boats, it was totally unlucky for me.

I took out my daggerboard and eased out and jumped out of my boat too far from the entrance point to NSC, i actually wasn't that far, and I could just pull my boat there with Wen Feng's help, no sweat!

But Wen Feng had to be gei kiang, and act cool. So he told me that he wanted to sail nearer to the breakwater point, so that it would be easier to pull up my boat. Bryan stood there with a MOESSC byte trolley, but yet Wen Feng told him "Byran siam lah! I going to sail there lar! Nearer to pull lar!!!" and put in my mainsheet into the innerloop of the mainsheet pulley, put the daggerboard in and sailed off.

No surprise, some of the people still waiting for their teammates to bring them a trolley stared at him. I mean, who would sail with like, a mainsheet rigged up halfway?!

When he got off my boat, he jumped too near to shore, forgetting that the waves were very strong and hard to fight against. So when he jumped off on starboard side, he didn't grab my boat in time...

The waves washed it onto shore, and as some people from TJC [i think] rushed over to help him, I rushed there too. He had sailed quite fast due to the strong winds, and I couldn't catch up since I saw some KC [Katong Convent] girls having problems with their boat so I helped them push it up and rushed off to recover my boat.

Whoops! BIG mistake. I saw that Wen Feng didn't grab my boat and I saw him and this JC guy [i think TJC, again] running after the boat as it was washed ashore! I was so shocked, and ran to the boat. I was too late -

MY TILLER EXTENSION SNAPPED INTO HALF.

Ouch. My daggerboard was also washed off the boat due to the huge waves that like, sweep you off your feet when you are desperately trying to grind your feet into the sand to prevent yourself from being washed with the waves. I ran to the boat, dumped my daggerboard into the boat and I noticed that Tzu Ling watching as everything happened. As soon as the tiller extension snapped into half, she SCREAMED. She was like, OMG! NOOOO! and stood there staring and stoning.

She was like, so upset. Her heart was shattered into a million pieces. I know, because she treats the boat like her own. She loves the boat a lot, like she was the one who bought it.

And all Wen Feng could say was : "Opps, woah! The tiller extension broke into half!" and didn't even feel apologetic about it.

I stared at the other end of the tiller extension that was sticking up in the air, and felt like screaming my head off too, because I knew how mad Tzu Ling would be. As soon as my boat left the waters, she came up to me and asked for the other half of the tiller extension and she took out the tiller extension itself. She was really mad, and didn't really ask me in a nice tone or anything. She didn't even want to look at me!

She angrily left and reported the broken tiller extension to Mrs Sidhu.

Not saying that its Wen Feng's fault, but if he didn't bother to show off infront of people, and if he just listened to me and just recovered the boat when Bryan came over with the trolley, this would not have happened.

When the beach was practically empty, I started scolding Wen Feng for not watching out on the equipment, and for not bringing the boat to sea when we were always repeatedly told that when there were big waves, we were supposed to bring the boat nearer to sea than to shore.

David came over, and Ryan came to complain about his daggerboard being chipped off. Woah, he showed me the daggerboard chip. HUGE. Then David also told us his daggerboard was chipped. Ouch. Then David looked into my boat, and saw that my daggerboard too was chipped. He told me, and i screamed somemore.

Later when going to NSC lugging along the heavy boat in the heavy trolley, Tzu Ling came to me again, and asked grumpily when my daggerboard chipped. I said during recovering of the boat. She nodded and angrily walked off...

Then she helped David take down his clue-tie and all, and she smiled and laughed as she talked to them [Bryan and Ryan they all were there too]! But since the tiller extension broke, Tzu Ling never smiled when she talked to me, and she only frowned.

then when i finally dragged my boat into NSC, Mrs Sidhu came to me and asked angrily if i signed off. I said no and she said really loudly "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE THEN?!?! GO SIGN OFF NOW BEFORE THE SIGN OFF TIME LIMIT IS OVER OKAY. TAKE DOWN YOUR SAIL AND GO SIGN OFF." and then I said "Okay, but I only just came in-" "-JUST CAME IN?! YOU WERE STANDING THERE DOING NOTHING. DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW!" and I was very shocked. "GET DOWN YOUR SAIL NOW AND SIGN OFF!"

I was shocked. I didn't stand there doing nothing, I didn't even laze around! I was being scolded for nothing, and I felt really sad. Why I came in so late was because no one helped me recover my boat, and I couldn't solo to recover because of the strong current and waves that would either make my boat capsize or if not get washed ashore.

I noticed that Tzu Ling saw me when she came to help, she pointed at my direction to Luo Ling, then Luo Ling nodded her head and WALKED AWAY! I was like, huh? At least get me a trolley please?! In the end, I was the first person from MF to reach shore, and I was the last person from MF to get ONTO shore. And now I get scolded cos no one helped me. What crap!

As soon as mrs sidhu launched her scolding at me and walked off, I think Aaron and Lu Xin got the signal that I was gonna be a tap because I was already very upset because Tzu Ling was mad at me, so Aaron helped me hold my sail as I tried to untie the knot and bring down my sail. Then Aaron said that he'd help me bring my boat back while I go sign out. Then when I said it was okay, he said nvm, he would bring it back to the MOE washing point. Such a good friend! So I went to sign out, and i saw Quin signing off too.

She saw me, and offered me her Oreo cookie pack [that Mrs Sidhu gave every one who was competiting]. I guess she noticed it too. I told her no thanks and she kept pushing it to me, then she kept telling me to take it, but in the end i forced it back to her so she didn't push it to me. Then I leaned against the wall and cried lor. Then opps, I think Daryl saw me. So I pulled down my hat and rushed into the toilet with Quin behind me.

So after that we went out to unrig, and I saw Mrs Sidhu at MOESSC washing point. Opps, I decided not to do anything except unrig, before Mrs Sidhu scolds me again.

When I was done, Peck Khee and Ning Xin called me over and asked me to find someone to share a slice of pizza with! I went to put back my sail and Peck Khee called Quin over to share a slice with me. Hahaa... she ate half a piece and i ate half. lol. We had to share, everyone did. haha.

It was not a nice day, made me feel so upset for the rest of the day. I hope Tzu Ling won't be mad at me tomorrow... please. But I'm like, really sorry cos I'm sharing that boat with her for competitions. And oh gawd, 20 bucks gone cos of the chipped daggerboard!!! =(

When we got back to school, it was only 4 plus, and I realised that today some sec 4s were taking their O or whatever level oral exam. I guess the exam ended, cos the canteen was noisy and crowded when we got back. Everyone was like, looking at us. We were the only ones in school that were in home clothing, and slippers [only some were wearing shoes]. Whoops, so paisei. lol.

Tomorrow shall be better, and I'm not racing tomorrow! YAY! Tomorrow and the day after is for B' Division. GOOD LUCK! =D they had better be top 3 cos Farhana is coming on Friday, the last day, which means prize giving etc. She hopes for our school to receive a prize. Since all of the C' Division couldn't do it, the B div shall do it for us! lol.

Wednesday, July 05, 2006

The competition today was totally cool! Except for the third race, where the wind died down last minute and caused me to get myself a DNF [Did Not Finish]. Argh. Hope i can discard that as my worst race.

In total, there were 4 races held. I loved the fourth and last race [for the day]! The wind suddenly became very strong, so strong that all the girls were hiking out as hard as they could. I was totally enjoying myself! =D

And the best thing was, I DIDN'T GET LAST FOR ANY RACE!

But the weird thing was, I got 2nd last for the first race, 2nd last for the 2nd race, and dunno how many last [i think 5 or 6th last] for the 3rd race and i think 3rd last for the last race of the day.

And my position?

19/20!!! 19 upon TWENTY girls for C Division! I was so shocked, I felt so weird suddenly. I tried my best, raced my hardest, and when I realised I didn't get last for any race, the only thing I felt was joy! But upon checking the results on the bulletin board, I noticed my position was a whooping 19/20. And suddenly, I felt so upset.

I mean, I expected so much of myself, and hoped i didn't do badly for the race. But oh well, I guess I'll just have to try harder tomorrow. I guess I should reflect on myself; where did I go wrong to end up in such a position? What did I do wrong, and what are the things I should do to improve on tomorrow?

When coming back to shore, the wind was lovely! Made me hike out a lot, but I enjoyed it. Although hiking out may be tiring, but it is also quite fun.

During the 3rd race when the wind died down and I was sailing really slowly, I almost fell asleep. As I sailed, I yawned, grabbed some sea water and splashed it on my face, yawn somemore and blink a bit and carry on sailing. I was so tired out after the previous 2 races. Really tiring, even though the wind was just nice, not too much hiking out to do and not much of a need to keep wondering what to do during light wind situations. lol.

Farhana just gave me some really good sailing tips, thanks Farhana! She's a very nice senior of mine, and she is always cheerful and jokative when we see her. haha.

After we were debreifed by Mrs Sidhu about the sailing competition today, Aaron, Quin, Bryan and I went to Ka-Li-Pok to play LAN. First time my parents ever let me play lan. lol. Actually, not parents, only my dad. We played maple. David, Ryan, Wen Feng, Liang Hong and Chee Teng also went to play LAN, but they played DOTA upstairs. So we only saw Wen Feng after we played for 1 hr, cos Wen Feng also played for only 1 hr, while Chee Teng and the rest played for 2 hrs i think. Waste of money! But for me, Aaron decided to blanja [treat] me to that 2 bucks, cos he begged me to go along, and he wanted to pay for me since I agreed. I wanted to pay half of it, but he didn't want me to, so oh well.

Anyway, I have been feeling weird ever since I came home from my gran's place. I'm feeling really dizzy now, and my stomach is starting to ache... very pain! I'm starting to get a bit of a headache too.. ouch.... T_T

I guess I shall go and sleep now... before I actually feel any more worse, and hope that tomorrow the race will go on smoothly and that I get good positions, and that I would feel sorta better tomorrow. Hmm...

Tuesday, July 04, 2006

Wah, tiring day and my legs are very tired! =D

Err.. omg! I was just using blog search, and I typed in my name. I found this:

Global Communicator: L. Marilyn Crawford
27 Jun 2006 by Gwendolyn Quinn
L. Marilyn Crawford President & CEO Primetime OmnimediaNYC. L. Marilyn Crawford, President and CEO, Primetime Omnimedia, has built her extraordinarily successful career in strategic marketing through creative ideas and hard work. ...

omgoodness! Note the part highlighted in RED [color included for colorblind people -_-] ! SEE THAT NAME!!!

GWENDOLYN QUINN.

QUINTESSENCE LIU! There's someone who has the combined name of you and me! =D haha. Erm, except that for me and Quintessence, it should be Gwendolyn Quin, not Gwendolyn QuinN. I was so shocked when I saw the Gwendolyn Quinn. haha! Cos I have a friend named Quintessence [we call her Quin] and my name is [duh] Gwendolyn =D

so, BOOYA! end of yet again, another 'SHOCKING' story!

I went to visit Singapore's LARGEST [as stated on the poster] Theme Park!

When exiting Escape at the end of the day, we noticed that the banner only stated LARGEST theme park. Instead of LARGEST, why not ONLY? Cos Escape Theme Park really is Singapore's ONLY theme park. Notice how people actually change the words just to hide the true, cold facts and lie to people about the bigger image. Doh!

Anyway. So we went to Escape. First thing to do :

FIND A LOCKER!

Yes, okay, we were there pretty early. We reached Downtown East at near 11am, so there wasn't a crowd there. So we happily skipped to a locker and put in the money [grumbled a bit] and shove our stuff in. Then Alicia made me wear a sleeveless top with her, ouch. I hate sleeveless tops! But oh well, after we got to Escape and Alicia made me change into the top she brought, Elizabeth and Kerrie obviously didn't allow me to change back into my pink Coverse top, and they took it away from me and pulled me away from the toilet!!! The suffering i received!

Secondly,

CHIONG TO DAYTONA GO-CART! Whoo!

There was only like, 4 people who were racing at first. When we went to the area where Daytona was, there was no one infront of us in the queue, only people who just came back from driving a few laps. So when those people got off their go-carts, we immediately rushed in when the girl gave us the signal. Remembering my favourite car I took the last time I came with Celine, I immediately hopped into number 16, my fav car! =D even though it was second in the parking area, which meant I would have to go second. Kerrie was first, because her car was infront of mine and hence she left first.

The funny thing was that when we started, I could practically overtake Kerrie at the part where you go like, in circles upwards. Then I didn't wanna overtake her for fear of banging into her... so I stepped on the brakes lightly and told her to "GOGOGO!!" and that "I DOWAN TO BANG YOU!!!" but she was scared of speeding all the way up at that part.. so I had to overtake her in the end. She was like screaming and oei-ing. So in the end, I finished last. haha.

Thirdly,

ENJOY ALL THE RIDES! =D

So we went around trying all the rides. Kerrie, Elizabeth and Alicia even went on the choo choo train! The one for like, 5 year olds? Where you sit on train carts and you can sit in the cabin or at the engine there? Ya!!! They were so childish to sit on that. I stayed outside and watched them slowly go past going "HI GWEN!" and I, being scarstic, told them "WOAH! How much fun is THAT! There is nothing better than sitting on a choo choo train for like, practically 3 year olds!"

Seriously, even the carts itself seemed too small for them! -_-

Anyway, the rest of the day seemed a bit dull, cos everyone was tired and we turned grouchy. Even me. And oh ya, the candy floss there was HUMONGOUS! Except for the fact that we were the first to buy the candy floss at that stall for the day, and hence ours was considered small when compared to other peoples'. Just wait till I ask Elizabeth if she captured an image of other people's candy floss. You'd be shocked!


Tomorrow is my long anticipated, most-feared, most-dreaded INTERSCHOOLS CHAMPIONSHIPS.

I think I will like, totally freak out! =( the competition shall be tough, and i do believe I should memorise my course and flags more, before I embarass myself by going on the wrong course, like David and Jack did during the Singapore Nationals, where they went on course I1 instead of I2. They were so embarassed after that, and they earned themselves an DNF, which means Did Not Finish, and it pulled down their ranking.

Oh ya, shall post more pics. FROM SAILING CAMP! YAY people, YAY! =D finally, they got it uploaded on the MFSS gallery! =D



Going on a run. Whoops, I hate going on runs. See those PICOs with purple sails? and That TOPPER [red and white sail]. Jack, Bryan [topper] and Aaron [Topper]. LOL

The MF sailing team =D . one morning after physical training. Everyone was still half asleep and sweaty and stinky. haha


During the BBQ at SAFYC on the second night. Mubarak and Ryan the satay man! ahhaa!


Another pic of the sailing team after the BBQ. All sleepy already. zzz...


The girls of MF sailing team =D But samantha didn't come, so she wasn't in this pic. Lu Xin also. Wah, in total only 11 girls in sailing! =O


And now, the boys -_-


The sailing team with our teachers-in-charge [Mrs Sidhu, Ms Cheng and Mr Lee] on the last day of sailing camp at SAFYC.


MF sailing team with some ex-captains [and seniors].


We saw this while sailing on the last day [or whatever day]. Must be practicing for National Day Parade! =D yay Singapore! -_-


The lower sec girls studying during the camp... haha! This is the first camp I've seen that the teachers have reserved a time [for this case I think it was at night 9 plus] for all of us to study!


"Be mighty in boat and speed" lol. For Mayflower Secondary it is "Be mighty in thought and deed" and so some of the seniors changed it to "Be mighty in Boat and Speed"!. haha

I guess that shall be all. And oh ya, somemore pics from washing of boats that time =D


Me washing [either Tzu Ling or Luo Ling's boat. I think its Luo Ling] the boat! =D


Me and Quin washing MOE byte 8. She was spraying water at the boat, but also indirectly spraying water at me too -_-


Mrs Sidhu took this pic of Nicholas, Joseph and I for the Student Leaders campaigning! Its a nice picture, with the school sail SIN4433 for optimist behind us. =D

Okay, I guess I shall sleep now... really tired, and tomorrow I have the Interschools on. *yawn*
It shall be another tiring day tomorrow. MUST. GEAR. UP! YAY interschools! I must not get last for any race this time. I am determined and confident that my school would win! We shall emerge champions =D MF SAILING TEAM RULES! [thinking optimistically helps a lot for races, quoted from Mrs Sidhu =p]
