Now supposed to be chionging Math homework. But wah lao, who cares! Tomorrow is the deadline for the Math holiday homework. I AM SO DEAD!

rahaha. Today's sailing I did quite badly. So crappy lar. Its like, I keep getting last few. Like, how much worse can I get? Sometimes I get so dishearted at sailing cos I keep doing badly. But oh well, I guess I'll just have to buck up yeah.

As usual, only beat Wen Feng for about 2 of our little races. Grr! He was such a crappy idiot lah, he knows port-side doesn't have right-of-way, then when I think Aaron was starboard, Wen Feng kept shouting "PORT PORT PORT! STARBOARD BOAT KEEP CLEARRRR!". Like, what crap? and he kept going hallelujah. Like, haha?

Anyway, today uncle Thomas didn't appear to coach us for sailing. It was aunty Evone. I think uncle Thomas kena called for reservice, because thats what the teachers say. aunty Evone gave me a bad impression to me that she didn't know how to coach well enough, but for today's training she was very nice, and gave intructions slightly clearer than the first time she coached us in replace of uncle Thomas. She explained about the transit during the breifing, but I didn't understand.

Then after sailing, when unrigging our boats, she came pass and asked if I understood how to check the transit, the marker and pinpoint mark and all. I said no, and she explained really well. I guess learning about how to check the transit would help me a lot for the interschools. Hmm..

Anyway, I still haven't done my Chinese homework. Like, how dead am I? Both Chinese and Math holiday homework's deadline is tomorrow, and yet I'm not done with both of them! And its not that little okay.

Today in school during recess I heard from my classmates that Justin from 1I had a fall while climbing up the wooden part of the pull-up bar thingy. Then when breaking his fall he used his hands and hence he kena a fracture and his bone ended up sticking out of his wrist there.

I guess its the impact, if not its because he is too skinny. There was no blood though, only a few drops. "A blessing in disguise." said Mrs Sidhu, when counciling some of us who heard about the incident, or saw it and felt tramatized. Surprisingly, many of my sec 1 sailing friends were there because most of them witnessed the incident. Especially Joeseph.

I feel really sorry for Joeseph, because I heard from him that after the incident, people said that he was the one who pushed Justin off the pole and hence, made him fall off. He was very sad when Mrs Sidhu was counciling us, partially cos he is also Justin's classmate, and because of the misunderstanding between him and some people. So when going home, I noticed that Mrs Sidhu talked to Joeseph's mother. I guess its about the misunderstanding thing.

Lucky for me I didn't go witness the scene where Justin's bone was sticking out of his wrist. Oh gosh, I'm feeling sick! So gross lah... it makes me wanna puke just thinking of it, even though I never seen that scene.

Well, Justin, though I do not really know you, but I do know you through the PE lessons and the SL camp thingy, I hope you'll recover real quickly. =D

Anyway.
I guess I had better go chiong the homework now. Bye!

wuahaha

Nicholas and Joeseph made it into the Student Leader crap as Student Councilors! Wuahaha!!! All the sailing people made it in as Student Councilor! Woots!

Alicia made it in as a Peer Leader. Shes like the only one lah, so she's feeling sad about it, cos its like no one to accompany her?

Today was feeling like crap in school. Couldn't concentrate and focus on lessons, especially Math.

Mrs Thomas talked to us today at first period of CME about the class's open diary... Kerrie and I are supposed to decorate it. I think Tan Ying too. But, oh well.

Then suddenly Mrs Thomas talked about sec 2, and that most probably some people from our class would be streamed into another sec 2 class and not stay in the endeavour class for sec 2. She was hoping that all of us would stay together as a class, but she said confirmed some people would be streamed off this class.

Omg, that is like so sad lah! Oh well.

After CME [which meant after schooll] we had to go down to the theatrette or however you spell it for the Student Leaders meeting thingy... to listen to Ms Sim talk about what we're supposed to do for the campaigning, speech and crap.

Lemme tell you this :
no WAY would you ever see my face on POSTERS in the hallways!

NEVER!

Its like, so crap. Who would be so bo liao?? Its like, crap lah!

If I weren't in this crap, and if I was supposed to vote for people, I would never vote for people who pasted posters on the walls in the hallways. No way lah! I have this attitude : try to gain popularity and I would never give it to you.

Elizabeth wants Kerrie to help her with the posters.

Elizabeth, I tell you hor, DON'T PUT UP POSTERS FOR THE CAMPAIGN. I know many people have the same attitude as me.

And posters and little souvenirs are never a part of saving money, but instead, you WASTE money.

*very sacarstically* Crap; I just forgot!

ELIZABETH IS TOO RICH TO EVEN BOTHER HEEDING WHAT OTHERS SAY! RIGHT... LIKE SHE WOULD BOTHER LISTENING IF I TOLD HER NOT TO PUT UP POSTERS OF HERSELF IN SCHOOL! Like, WOW.

after the student leaders crap thing meeting, Kerrie, Elizabeth and I went to J8 to walk around, while Alicia went for her bball competition.

Then Kerrie and I ate curry puff from Old Chang Kee for lunch. LOL. Then Elizabeth bought like, 9 or more nuggets! WAH LAO, so FATTENING lah! Then she eat also mouth open while she's chewing, so rude and disgusting!!!

Anyway, we went to take neos. They made me fold up my skirt to make it short!! =O

During taking one of the neos that time Elizabeth told us to let down our hair. So okay lor let down lor. Then my hair was like a bit messy at first at the fringe there, so after taking that neo i made my fringe a bit neater, and Elizabeth suddenly like, let out a small scream.

She was like, "GWEN! YOUR HAIR IS SO... SO NICE! OMG!" and stuff. Dots?

So for the rest of the day at J8 and when I went home, I let down my hair cos Elizabeth asked me to.. also as a form of accompaning her cos she wants to let down her hair. Then its like, so awkward? I've hardly let down my hair when I'm in school uniform, unless at home or whatsoever.

When walking home from the MRT, nearing my house liao lah, I saw one sec 3 guy from MFSS. Tuck out shirt somemore, and using hp! woah. Okay lah, my shirt was also tucked out and I had a hp in my bag, so no diff. He went to play soccer at the 'soccer court' across the road from my house there.

Rahahas. Made new character in Cassopia in Maple.. wahaha lvl 6 only!

AARON! MUST HELP ME CHIONG LVL! =D

Anyway, damn sian lah, playing noob char. Take so long just to fight one mushroom or something. Still stuck in Maple Island. =D lame place though. Anyway, I decided to make new char cos of what everyone is telling me : Adding Skill Points each to ICE and LIGHTNING is a noob thing to do, and everyone I asked for their opinion told me to make new char in Cass! Cos I play Aquila using yunasakura, and everyone esp Darren [sailing Darren, not Darren Goh] and Aaron. Kept saying "Aquila sucks lah!"

Anyway... wanna add me in Cass just add : theDELUSION

=D *smile smile* theDELUSION is a much better name then yunasakura or yukisakura or what shit right. haha! But now I no more mesos... AARON! Must gimme some okay, since you so rich. LOL. yunasakura has like, more then 1mil. But that char is in Aquila! I cannot transfer mesos. Rahh!

Anyway... shall go finish up Math and History and D&T homework. Tomorrow got D&T!! RAHAH! So excited... hurry and get on with practical lah!!! ;]

Tomorrow got sailing... I like dowan go liddat.. very tired. But got INTERSCHOOLS CHAMPIONSHIPS! How can don't go? I will kena killed.

And Quin is still BAI KAH! [lame] haha. During Tuesday sailing everyone kept calling her bai kah, even mrs sidhu! lol! But heck, she cannot sail tomorrow too cos she is still bai kah. Hope she hurry recover soon =D

haha, we started ranting that bai kah means WHITE CAR. Cos in chinese "bai" is white, and as for kah, if you say it properly, it would sound like "car". LOLS. how lame can sailing people get??? So I keep calling Quin "HEY WHITE CAR!!!" and stuff. LOL.

Oh ya... forgot to post some pics I found at the sailing.org website for the Sentosa Byte and Optimist Championships.

http://www.sailing.org.sg

Anyway, on Monday after sailing PT when we were gathered at the i-Studio, Mrs Sidhu showed us these pics she found on the website.


Whoops! So paisei... a pic of me [in my white Sentosa cap] going to capsize and trying desperately to upright my boat before I capsize.. okay, this was a failure cos in the end, I DID capsize. LOL. Btw that guy in the background is another fellow MFSS sec 1 sailor, RYAN! He was sailing past me and watching me capsize lol.



ooo.. the BYTE startline for my race on day 3.. see those pink strips of cloth tied to the top of our boat? Yeah, I'm in that group, the PINK group. With Chee Teng and Ryan... and oh ya thats Chee Teng, far left of the picture, the 2nd boat from the left! haha.


Day 4's starting for Byte, pink group and dunno what color group. MY RACE! haha, but cannot find neither Ryan nor me in this pic.


Wen Feng capsizing while going on a run! haha! he fell of his boat with a SPLASH! Can tell its him cos who else is using NSC 18 during the Nationals?


Zach! Our sailing team's 'legend' =/ mrs sidhu said that this would be good advertisement, except for the fact that theres a blue-based capsized boat behind. Someone from our school, confirmed. We know because i think only people in my school's team uses blue-based boats.


Daryl behind some random sailing guy.


Nicholas sailing his optimist during his race. Wah, he sail until like so cool liddat. Wait, sailing IS cool!!! =D
MONDAY;


Woah.

First day back at school after hols was great lah! Seeing everyone again was - the BEST! =D

Okay, and everyone was like "omg GWEN! You CUT your HAIR?!?!" and like "WOAH!!!" and stuff. All I could do was stand there and listen. haha. True you know.

The worst thing about being back in schools were the homework. Especially the subjects for the holiday homework I didn't finish, which was, practically, ALL OF THE HOLIDAY HOMEWORK!

But many of the teachers were nice enough to give us another few days grace... three cheers for them!

Worst come to worst, I also find out one of my favourite teachers is leaving us.. MISS LOY!!! =(
Well, my art teacher actually. But she's the best art teacher I've had, well, since primary school. All the art teachers I got since primary school are CRAP! But Miss Loy made us do our art and stuff, and her lessons are so fun! Miss Loy; we will miss you!

Because now our timetable has changed, our art has shifted to Monday. Where we find out that Miss Loy was leaving, and that this would be the last lesson she would have with us. Everyone gasped when we heard what she said. I was like, going to cry! LOL. She's going to university.. aww. Such a pity.

Anyway, we also met our new History teacher.

This guy seemed nice at first, Mr Edwin Hoe I think. The first half-hour of his lesson was oh-so-interesting. The whole class had to give him an intro of ourselves. Our name, primary school, and what we think of history.

BORING, duh!

But of course I said I had an interest in Social Studies, the chapters about the Japanese occupation period. Well, those chapters really made me read more into the occupation. lol.

And the great news was, instead of taking MUSIC, we're now taking DANCE to replace music! Woohoo! No more Mr Lam yeah! Now its the CCA dance teacher, Ms Chua. Nice teacher lah, very funny and kept targeting Aaron. like, haha!


TODAY;


Sailing session today rocked! For the practice races, I got 1st for the first race, 2nd for second race and 2nd for the third race. Well, thats among the sec 1 byte sailors though.

At the first race Ryan got 2nd, and I got 1st. Then Wen Feng got 3rd, and he said he would screw us. Well, in the end we lost to him. The last two races, he got 1st for both races whereas I got 2nd for both the last 2 races. Boohoo.

Anyway, the weird thing was during our rigging up. My boat was inbetween Wen Feng's and Ryan's boat. Wen Feng's boat on my left, and Ryan's on my right.

Wen Feng's sail number was SIN807
Ryan's was SIN806
and mine was SIN805!!!

Like, wah! Such a coincidence! So the order was SIN807, SIN805, SIN806. haha! And furthermore we got those sails by chance, depending on what the uncles at the NSC counter find and throw at us.

Woah, look at da time.. better go sleep liao..

And oh ya, a little note that I failed my 2.4km run. Passing mark is 18.40s or 18.30s and I got 19.05s!!! Like, how sad is THAT?! Anyone wanna train on my running with me before the next 2.4km retest? =p

Monday, June 26, 2006

Finally got my Adidas school shoes le... 59 bucks! Wuahaha.. my mother go bargain from 79 bucks become 62 bucks then 59 bucks! WAH!

I also got a Converse bag... those round kind lah. I using it for sailing bah.. cos easier to carry one big bag then many many different bags. $26.35... hahah.

Wah tomorrow school open ler... i have to chiong homework after this. Tomorrow have sailing PT!!! But Mrs Sidhu said it will be a 'light' sailing PT... not too much running and stuff cos we have another up-coming race soon. Hope I do well for that yeah.

Tonight I better sleep early otherwise if tomorrow got like Math or what hor, I will sleep in class again! haha! Sure one lah... I hope I don't kena scolding if I don't hand in homework, because I haven't finish it all yet... wah die le!

Wah lao, I see the Creative MP3 which is 30GB on sale on the Creative website for Singapore leh!!! WAH LAO, 229 bucks only!!! and its 30GB LEH!!! Mine is 512MB, and it costed me $240 leh! What the heck lor... such a rip-off! But of course my dad won't lemme buy a new MP3 cos mine is considered quite new... since start of year only haha! I will die if I ask my dad to buy for me that 30GB one.. but its like, 30GB leh, a lot leh!!! More then 512MB can le... haha.

LATER GOT HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL AT 7:30PM ON DISNEY CHANNEL! MUST WATCH LAH!!!
Aiya post more about yesterday's sailing bah.

I was damn suay lah, cos at the end of the race when rounding the last buoy before going to the finishing point, I capsized lah! And lost TWO positions.

One to a guy I practically kept running into on the course. He was like, trying to get infront of me but he never. That is, until I capped. I bet he was like "wah, finally give way." or stuff. haha! Then another position to this American guy who was like, damn far behind me?!?! Really lor, he was like very far behind, last few. Then I capped and when I uprighted my boat and tried jybing, I capped again. Then I turtled too, then my daggerboard was being an idiot... so i had to kick it up. Then when I finally managed to jybe, that American guy whooshed right pass. I was like, WTH LAH!!! And tried chionging up past him.

But of course he crossed the finishing line seconds before me. WAH LAO! SECONDS leh! Mrs Sidhu was watching with Jack somemore.. so paisei.

Then when I reached back to shore, Mrs Sidhu dropped Jack off and asked him to help me, Ryan, David and Wen Feng with our boats. But Jack is like, yue bang yue mang lor! I tell him cannot pull my boat up past the trees cos my mast will hit the tree branches as the tree is not that tall and all, then he don't believe me, say what "Aiya just pull! Can one lar! Just pull it there lar!" then I have to keep telling him, cos David and I tried before and our boats got stuck there cos the branches were too short. Then Jack was being an asshole and stubborn, and when he finally believed me, he said he would go unrig his boat and when I managed to pull through the other way then call him.

THAT IDIOT!!!

For all my sailing friends hor, they all cannot stand Jack cos he act like he knows so much, and he talks a lot of crap. While unrigging my boat, Tzu Ling and Siu Ngee came over, and come help us. Then Jack ask why they never go bathe, and they said they of course must help us. Then Jack called Siu Ngee and Tzu Ling "very good senior number 1 and very good senior number 2." then they were like "Jack, can you shut up?!?! I cannot stand you liao lah!!!" and David ask Siu Ngee why she never said much about Jack when she also cannot stand him, then Siu Ngee said cos Tzu Ling already said everything out for her. LOL! Then Siu Ngee was like telling us she cannot stand Jack, then Jack called her "medium senior" instead of "very good senior number 1" and I was like "JACK CAN YOU SHUT UP?!?!"

Anyway.
That American guy [sail 806] was there with his erm.. father or whatever lar, then Wen Feng was 'singing' that "No More Birds" thing, with the "Damn that Richard Gear [or err however you spell it]! Damn his eyes, damn his grey hair, damn his lousy at mathematics and american letter [or something]" then there was a part the people talking in Hokkien lah, the Hokkien version of that joke they were making out of that ad where the girl said "my family is going away on a journey and I want to wish them good luck. 5 birds please." that ad. Then there was a part where the guy said "si ang mo lang" and stuff.

Then Wen Feng go say lor. I very scared cos some americans understand what is ang mo lang. Cos that time like 2 years ago Celine and I were talking lah, then we mentioned ang mo lang, and this american person understood and thought we talking about him. We were like, HUH?? oh shit!!!

Anyway, later gonna go buy shoes. ADIDAS! haha! I also wanna buy shoes for like, going out purpose, like Melody's pair of shoes. The one with the 3 stripes down the sides of the shoes. Damn nice lah!

Sunday, June 25, 2006

Damn! Stupid idiot lah.. go rate my skin 0.5 with a "sorry", dropping it off the Top 15 rated list lah. DAMN! what the heck lor.. STUPID FLAMER ACCOUNTS!

Anyway, today my sailing skills like... IMPROVED? Like, really lah. Thanks to Mrs Sidhu's encouragement. She saw me and Quin in the toilet while we were applying sunblock, and she talked to me about her noticing that I got very scared, especially when going on Runs.

Actually its true that I'm afraid of the boat when going on a Run. The boat will become so shaky that you feel like capsizing every second. So imagine, on a trapezoid course, you'd have to go on Runs so many times! I would like to kill myself.

Okay, but really must thank Mrs Sidhu for all the encouragement! She asked me what I feared most, and what was there to loose? Since I was already like 116/123 for positions, whats there to loose when I cap? Just upright the boat and move, and if I loose positions, its okay because I was already right near the bottoin. She just told me to go for it and all... so yeah, thanks Mrs Sidhu for all that encouragement.

Through her encouragement, I realised that I actually listened to her advice! She told me to go near the start line and not to worry too much about OCS, and I did. Then I got such a good start that I was quite fast. I was so much better that during the race I could actually see Chee Teng when I was racing! Chee Teng appeared about 3 times infront of me and I was like "Huh? I thought Chee Teng should have sped off by now.. hmm..."

But anyway. Argh damn tired now... and yay Melody wanna learn electric guitar too! Maybe can go for classes with her.. wuahaha!

BYE! =D

http://www.blogskins.com/info/95599

omgomgomg!!! Finally, my third skin to be able to make it into one of the Top 15 rated! YAY!

First, Fragile Love, then My World, My colors, and now, SAYONARA! woots!!! =D I was wondering how come the downloads for that skin from 4 [when I just submitted it] suddenly shot up to 29 when I just didn't visit blogskins for a few days. And it suddenly had 3 more comments and the most recent was like, one hour ago?

And woah, I wondered why people will suddenly come comment. And I found out its cos that blogskin made it into the #9 in Top 15 Rated list!

Hope some people won't come and rate me lower and drop me out from that list, cos it always happens.
And oh ya before I forget, some tag replies =D
Too many to reply on my tagboard. LOL.

KERRIE; haha! Yep, SHAKIRA! =D ya I will chiong too, and haha I no nice pics of AGEEK! I wanted to use the one we took at your place but no elizabeth. And anyway, got you and cia in that dragonboating pic mah!

SHANICE; yo darl! haha I LOVE you okay. Not thinking of you is impossible. LOL. The questions are like, for example, they ask who is 2's fav singer right? For me on my list, no. 2 is Kerrie, and her fav singer is SHAKIRA =D

PECK KHEE; haha I already visited your blog =) I see my name on it under lurves ahh! Is there another Gwendolyn or do you love me? =p

ELIZABETH; Sure annot?? I doubt it ;) haha joking. =D
Today's competition was like SHIT lah! Wah lao, there was a total of 4 races conducted [as told by TzuLing]. And since there was 4 races [I was too lazy and tired to count], I got last for 3 races. The only race which i didn't get last for... well,

I got 2nd last for that race.

Like practically no diff lah!

The sea waters that day was like a battlefield. It was...

CHAOTIC!

Gosh, I wanted to faint out there. Well, I wish I could faint, but I couldn't lol. There were so many bytes and everyone was screaming at another person and all... woah. I wanted to DIE instead of faint.

Its really bad out there in the seawaters during the race, because people will take advantage of the situation if they find you a noob. Like, some people will purposely try to bang into your boat if you don't have the RIGHT OF WAY. Take one of today's race for instance, I was on port-side [left side of the boat] and if you're on port, starboard [right side of the boat] has RIGHT OF WAY. So today during one of the races I was sailing past another person who was on starboard, and I was on port.

I had confidence that I could make it pass that guy without banging into him and doing penalty, which is 360 [or was it 720? 720 for when hit the buoy and powerboat only right?].

Since I had gained quite good speed, it was obvious I could sail past him without banging into him. So I just sailed without worrying. There were 2 guys sailing on starboard, but I confirm won't bang into the guy infront. But still I had confidence of sailing past the 2nd guy.

So when I was halfway past him, he could actually sail right past me too. But instead of trying to sail past me, he purposly pointed [like, to steer your boat to the right. if you're on the right side of the boat that is] his tiller and tried to bang into me!!!

He was like, glaring at me. And I tell you, his eyes had a damned wicked look in them! He glared and me and he looked so scary!!! I was so shocked and a bit scared of him. But heng he didn't manage to bang into me even though he tried. I felt like shouting "HAHA. TOO BAD FOR YOU, IDIOTIC NINCOMPOOP!!!" but of course I couldn't, if not he could protest me.

In the whole competition, only David and I [among the 123 byte sailors in the race] used the blue full sails. Idiotic sia.. so out of place. And I heard uncle Thomas mention that the orange full sail could point higher. Like, WHAT SHIT!!! I shouldn't have used the blue full sail! But Ning Xin was lazy to fold two sails [cos my sail SIN837 had no baton, and hence uncle Thomas told me to take Ning Xin's blue sail SIN839 while she took an orange sail], and if she wouldn't help me to fold, no one would cos its like, damn hard to fold sail.

Jack and I and Lin Jie missed doing the "MF-WOOSH!" thingy. My favourite part before every race! I begged Jack to wait with me for my rudder cos I overshot the hole again [2 times in a row, so first time I ask Jack help me ask the NSC counter workers help take out, then 2nd time I got to go ask myself]. I hope that tomorrow we do the MF-WOOSH! thing again before competing. I remembered during DRAGONBOATING, wah! So many girls, so when doing the MF-WOOSH! we had problem cos some people hand very short and cannot reach the pile of hands in the center. HAHA! I wonder if the boys had the same problem =/

anyway.
There is one STINKING PERVERT worker, who is working in NSC. Thats why I dread going to NSC. And thats why when Jack was still at the counter [although he got his things and was ready to go] I begged him to wait for me. All because of that PERVERT!

Everytime I go to NSC, he would stand there and stare and grin a pervertic grin at me. I am so scared of him already cos he has been doing this to me a lot of times. Practically, everytime I go to NSC! And when I go to the counter alone, he would make like, weird whistling noises and smile a pervertic smile at me!!!

Anyway.. after the race, I helped the others to recover their boats. Then when Quin and I managed to drag our heavy boats to my parking area there, we noticed a lot of people queueing up for the hose! Optimist sailors and byte sailors alike. I was like, WTH?! So many people? Damn it!!! have to wait a long time!

And when I got the hose, Wen Feng asked me for help to fold his sail. I haven't even wash my boat, much less take down my sail yet. Cos of course even though I never capsize, I must still wash the sail. Its sorta like a rule for us. haha!

Then cos I refused to help Wen Feng until I get my boat washed, he kept turning off my hose whenever I was trying to get my sail washed. Like I took the hose, and he purposely stood at the hose knob there and turned it off just as I was about to spray my sail. And he was like "you help me fold sail then I let you wash lah!" and I had to keep arguing with him until he finally gave way to me and helped me wash my sail. But cos I was holding the boom [the horizontal pole that holds the sail] so that he could help me wash the sail, he kept spraying water at me.

Brr, so cold!

But it was nice getting normal water at my face and not salt water! =D anyway, it was like I was sunburnt on my cheeks! During the race, I mean. During one of the races [I think 2nd race] my face felt damn hot, and when I touched my cheeks it hurt like siao! Ouch. My legs became lobster halfway during the race, as in, became red lah! So red somemore... and now near my tanned line [my bootes lah! So high that I look like i'm wearing a skin colored sock] my skin there is like, burnt? It really is lah! The skin there is dead... like when you fall down and when your cut clots and dries it becomes dead skin that you can peel off right? Ya, now my legs near the tanned line is like that. So eww lah!

Anyway after signing out I got a muffin and a bottle of mineral water with "isle Chill - SENTOSA" printed on a plastic wrapping around the middle of the bottle. LOL! At the previous race, the one which the sec1s didn't participate in cos we haven't got our LVL One Profiency [or however you spell it] cert, the sign out foodstuff was a packet of MILO and either chicken wings if not fish fillet!!! I was officiating lah, so also can take lol. Last time one better lah!!! Why not MILO and chicken wings again!

I heard Aaron is officiating this race too actually, but dunno why he never come. He's not racing lah.

Anyway forgot to mention the sign in item given to us was a T SHIRT!!! This is better than the last race cos the last race Mrs Sidhu gave out those like, metal water bottles out. Printed on it is err, forgot. Must go see Joeseph's bottle LOL. But of course T shirt is better. Can wear mah! And furthermore I need more clothes, so heng we got shirt =D

and its BLUE!! A nice shade of blue. But the words printed on are printed in ORANGE! Looks a bit weird lah! As in, the orange doesn't match that shade of blue. And there are two thin lines of orange down near the width of the sleeve. So little orange, sure cannot match nicely with the blue one lah! The blue is too err... in-the-middle for the orange. As in, in the middle of dark blue and light blue that kind of color. haha!

Aiya post later if not tomorrow.. wanna go play The Sims 2 and then wash up and go sleep. =D tata! Wish me more luck for tomorrow's competition... sailing comps don't just end in one day you know! Must hope I don't get last again okay!

and oh ya mr lee told us to drink 2litre of water to hydrate outselves. How to see whether we're hydrated enough? The pee, duh. He said when we go toilet the pee must be colorless, and that means we're hydrated enough. -_- lame lah! haha

hoheys!

Tomorrow is the start of Singapore National Byte and Optimist Championships.

GAMBATTE TO ALL MFSS SAILORS! We must bring GLORY to our school yeah?

Arrived at school at almost 9am. I was like, "GOSH! I am like, so damn late!" until I saw Ning Xin walking on the pathway outside school. When my dad drove into the school's shelter there then I waited for Ning Xin to walk in.

When she caught up, she was a bit drenched because it was raining. Duh. If not what? Someone spilt water on her???

So we walked together into the usual MFSS sailing team 'gathering spot', like before PT we always gather there mah. We saw Zach, Justin and Wei Ming walking past like, near the shelter that my dad dropped me off at.

Then when we got to our gathering area, we saw that we were the only girls. Ning Xin practically grabbed me and went "GWEN! we're the only GIRLS around here!" and said something like must stick together. LOL

So we sat down for a while and chatted about how the boys' hairstyles have changed.

Ning Xin was like "omg, do you see Justin's HAIRSTYLE?! Its like, so freaking UGLY!" and I was nodding my head in agreement, cos okay, he was looking damn weird lah! Looked a bit like Chee Teng's hairstyle, only that Chee Teng's hairstyle was that practically all his hair spiked up, whereas for Justin, his hair was like, FLAT infront [and really flat. He use GEL lah!] and spiky behind. Eeee, his fringe there was like, ROUND! We were like, EWWW!

Then Zach. Zach also got his hair cut. MUCH MUCH shorter... Ning Xin said he looked like a little child!!! I was laughing my head off as she went "Its true!! Don't you agree? He looks like a CHILD!!!" hahaha!!! So hilarious! But Zach looked weird too, cos his hair was TOO short. HAHA!

Mubarak cut his hair shorter also.. wah, its like so many people got their hair cut.

Anyway, Ms Cheng came after that and told us we can wait a while for the rest to come. We waited and soon after, QUIN came! Oooooh! My dearest!! haha just joking. I'm not BROKEBACK okay please. We were like, so glad to see Quin! She practically thought I was siao cos I was like "QUIN YOU'RE HERE!!! YAY!" and all that. Haha. But anyway.

And we found out that she too, CUT HER HAIR! We were like, haha! Unbelievable!

Then we chatted with Ms Cheng for a while more.. Ning Xin telling us how disasterous it would be for Ms Cheng to be teaching her and us and all... then Ms Cheng killing Ning Xin for her not finishing up her Geography homework, then Ms Cheng killing Quin for coming to school when she has a flu. Not that Ms Cheng was afraid that Quin would pass the germs around but cos tomorrow is the competition, and Ms Cheng doesn't want Quin to be even more sick.

Ms Cheng then couldn't wait anymore, and asked us to go up to the hall for PT cos the corridors were wet and cos of that we couldn't run incase we might fall down. So while walking up to the hall Yi Xuan came to school and walked up with us and Ms Cheng grumbled about how she has to make more calls to those who didn't come.

Poor Ms Cheng, has to waste her phone bill for calling people who didn't come for sailing!

Then we did 10 rounds around the hall. While doing that, Zach took a chair and started running with it! We were laughing our heads off sia, it was so funny to see Zach running with a chair infront of him! But we then noticed that he took the chairs to use them to prevent us from cutting corners!!! So smart lah he.

After that we did 20 pushups, 20 crunches and 20 jumping-jacks. That is counted as one set. We had to do 2 sets.... wah! So 40 pushups, 40 crunches and 40 jumping-jacks! Woo, was sweating like hell after that.

Went to gym to do our sets on each of the machines, then Ms Cheng came in to monitor us and then after that we went to shift some stuff at the sailing corner. Ms Cheng said we could place a sofa there next time for us to sit!!! We were like "HUH?! So dusty and warm WHO WANNA SIT???" haha.

Then went to i-Studio to watch some clips from some movies. One of them was "Brian's Song" we were like, BRIAN! Cos sailing got one BRYAN, not BRIAN. LOL!!! The other film was damn nice and we watched most of it cos some of us suggested to, so Ms Cheng didn't skip a lot of the second disc. Then that movie was damn freaking good to watch.. the coach Carter was really inspiring... that movie is about basketball, so I guess Alicia would be interested in it? XD

I so wanna borrow that movie from Mrs Sidhu one day... I also wanna borrow the one we watched during sailing camp. All these movies we watch really told a lot about how teamwork, team spirit is important, and how we should never give up. I was like really 'enlightened' after watching those movies. So inspiring!!!

And I heard most of them are like, based on real life stories. I loved the basketball one.. so damn freaking NICE to watch lah!!!

Then we went for lunch.

Me, Quin, Nicholas, Joeseph and Lin Jie went for lunch together at the hawker center across the overhead bridge. Actually Quin and I followed Ning Xin and Yi Xuan to the coffee shop across the road, but in the end I told Quin that Nicholas they all going to the other hawker center so we chased after them.

When they saw us following them, they purposely ran off faster than us and Quin chased after them. I tried to, but because I had a sorta like sprained knee, I couldn't.. it hurt when i tried to run.

So when they reached the overhead bridge they walked slower for me to catch up.. But Quin already caught up with them LOL. We bought the usual stuff we always bought when we went for lunch there, then Nicholas and Joeseph went to Nicholas's place to get his spectical band. Then after a while Lin Jie finished eating, and tried to chase after them.

So Quin and I finished eating and while waiting for Quin to finish up her drink, Nicholas and Joeseph sneaked behind us and RAHHH-ed us. I didn't see them cos my back was facing them, and so I got a shocked and they were laughing after that. Quin didn't get shocked cos she saw them trying to sneak up behind us.

Then we noticed that Lin Jie wasn't with them... and we were like "lets run off!!!" cos we thought Lin Jie would go back to the coffee shop and look for us when he couldn't catch up with Nicholas and Joeseph... then we went across the overhead bridge, and waited for him. We were watching under the block of Nicholas's house cos we thought Lin Jie would be there. Then we waited a while and I noticed that we were gonna be late soon, so we ran back into school and found....

LIN JIE!!! he was in school! I was right lah, I told them he might have gone back into school but they wanted to wait across the bridge for him to laugh at him when he realises we're across the overhead bridge!!! HAHA

So we got to NSC [National Sailing Center]. Light wind, too light. So we sat around listening to MP3 and looking at our hps and stuff. Then Mrs Sidhu told Uncle Thomas to let us sail and he did. We helped those who were using the school bytes to wash the bytes first.

WAH LAO LAH! The byte Yi Xuan used was damn dusty, and had circles of white on it. I think its water droplets that dried up long ago lah. Then it was like, you know chicken pox? Yeah, all the spots!!! Then we were like, "this boat has AIDS!!!" and laughing our heads off. But that stupid byte was so damn dusty lah!!!

Then we helped to wash them and Mrs Sidhu asked us to rig up our boats. Found out couldn't use NSC 14, my boat I use every sailing training. MY DEAR BOAT!!! Only can use NSC bytes 17-23 during competition, cos byte 14 was one of those bytes which other schools were using for tomorrow's competition. So Ning Xin told me to use the competition bytes... and we found out that the bytes were like, 100 YEARS NEVER WASH DE!!! So damn dirty..

I picked NSC 22, and saw a decomposed chicken bone in it. Second time liao lah!! First time was in NSC 14, and someone had thrown a chicken bone in it and when I found it, it was decomposed. Like, EWW?!

Then we washed our boats and my boat STINKED! Smelled like rotten meat... because of the stupid CHAO TAH water which is always found infront of the boat... the hole that holds the mast. Damn stinky lah! David joked that it was my smell, and that I refused to admit that it was my smell that was so stinky. Stupid David!

My boat gave me a damned hell loads of problems. The mast was damn bent, the boat was all black and dirty, one of the trolley wheels were FLAT, the clip holding down the rudder was loose, my sail was torn, and loads more problems. Shit lah!!! I was standing there cursing, cos I was damn mad. Like, what the heck have I done to make heaven mad at me?!?!

It was soley my BAD LUCK DAY. I got so mad that I even scolded the worst of the worst. I was damn pissed, and Ning Xin kept wishing me HAPPY NEW YEAR. Cos my boat was like, the worst boat lah!

Then we got briefed on our course for the day and stuff, then we could launch.

The wind was damn strong, but heck, who cares! Then when Mrs Sidhu's power boat was launching, the tractor which was reversing the power boat into the sea accidentally got 'off-track' and 'derailed' and got stuck in the sand. Everyone was like "WTH?!?!" and we had to go help..

Then in the end the workers went to push the powerboat into the water by themselves. Could hear the trolley of the powerboat scrape across the floor. The sound like nails on a chalk board. *shiver goes down spine*

anyway.
Then we launched and all and blah blah had races and blah blah then during recovering our boats, Jack forgot to take out his mainsheet. So his boat was about to capsize. And I had problem holding the boats, and so since we were close to shore, my boat was like, WASHED ASHORE?! Poor boat. Then when Jack got his trolley [wah lao, never get for me when we agreed to pair-recover!!!] he couldn't get his boat in. Damn him! Then cos he forgot to release his mainsheet, his boom hit me.

THREE times. Once on the back. This hit made me fall on the sand while trying to 'save' my boat from the likes of the sands that would scratch it real badly. The second time also on the back, and the third time on my waist there. WAH LAO! Damn pain lah.

Then I was the last to get a trolley to recover my boat. THANKS TO JACK! He totally forgot to help me after helping HIMSELF! Then Shi Yan helped me to get a trolley and Liang Hong, Shi Yan and Siu Ngee helped me to pull my boat up to shore. Siu Ngee noticed that my boat was like, extra heavy?

Then we noticed it..

THAT CRACK ON MY BOAT!!

It was a huge one and all of them helping me to pull my boat went "WOAH!" and Siu Ngee said "Don't worry, mine was slightly smaller than that and I guess your crack is worth $70??" and I was like screaming my head off mentally. It was so sad lah.

Then I emptied all the water out of my boat... damn lot of water thanks to the crack, which allowed the water to seep into the boat's inside and make my boat heavier. Then after empting the water [it made a huge 'hole' in the sand, too much water lah!], I dragged my boat back to NSC with a heavy heart. Stupid... now I would have to pay.

When Siu Ngee asked me whether someone crashed into me, or whether the crack was already there, and if someone knocked into me [i think she asked this] or what, I said no to all.

When she told me it would be about 70 bucks, I was so sad.. I totally didn't pay attention during debrief. I kept my head down and kept wondering who banged into me, or if the crack was fresh, or old.

Then I realised it:
RYAN! He crashed into me during one of the races when I was practically in irons [where your boat stops suddenly and you're stuck there].

So after debrief I told Mrs Sidhu about my boat's crack, who told Uncle Thomas and Ms Cheng. Dammit, Mrs Sidhu was being damn kua zhang. Said Wen Feng's crack could fit a whole hand into it and it costed him 800 bucks! And she said since mine is the size of a palm it would most probably cost 400 bucks. I had a heart attack lah!!! Then she told Ryan about the crack, and Ryan was like "No lor! When did I bang into your boat???" and all. Then Mrs Sidhu suddenly said "Of course you must have lah [or something like this]! Since you can't remember it and Gwen can remember it. Why would she want to ask you to pay if you didn't crash into her boat? She wouldn't be like cos she likes you so she purposely want to make to pay the money right??? Of course she will say if you got crash into her boat lah!!!" And I showed her a 'diao' face. But she was joking about the liking Ryan part. We're only sailing teammates lah.

Then after she was done exaggerating, Wen Feng told me that Mrs Sidhu was only exaggerating cos his one costed him 500 bucks, not 800.

Scare me. When Ms Cheng said that it'd most probably cost 90-100 bucks, Mrs Sidhu was like "No lah! It would cost most probably 400 lah!" then Ms Cheng said that the last time she also had a crack like this and it costed about 100 bucks then Mrs Sidhu was like "no lah! Her crack is so deep..." blah blah blah. Then Ms Cheng was like 'i got nothing to say' and walked off.

After the 'after sailing PT' Ms Cheng waited with me and Ning Xin cos we were waiting for my dad to come pick us. We had to wait outside cos they were gonna lock up the school.

So we chatted lah, and Ms Cheng told me it would cost most probably about 90 bucks. And since I told them that Ryan crashed into my boat, she said I can split costs with him. Ryan was like so mad lah, and asked me like, 3 times while un-rigging to confirm when he banged into me. I knew it, I would get nagged at by Ryan one lah!

My dad was like "wah you must have been looking at the boys and never concentrate so you two the boat crash lah!" and all. Siao arr.

Opps, now I remember that I still have the TYR dry off [or whatever] shirt and pants that we need to buy for sailing. Its sorta like a team thing lah. Its like damn cheap!!! Mrs Sidhu said this kind of material if wanna buy at other places in Singapore is like, 30-40 bucks ["TYR somemore!" she said] when if we buy like that it would cost like only 12 bucks for the pants and maybe 15 bucks for the shirt!!! Better than buying from shops, which it would cost 30-40 bucks just for maybe the shirt only!!!

Haha. Woah, long post!!!

Okay shall blog tomorrow about the competition. People,

PLEASE WISH ME LUCK!

Its gonna be my first race, and its the Singapore National Championships somemore!!!

Again, for all MFSS sailors, GAMBATTE and GOOD LUCK!!! We can do it! =D

I shall go sleep soon, cos we sailors have to reach school at 8:10AM latest tomorrow. So early lor... I wanna sleep one okay!

BYE! =D

21-25 June : Singapore National Byte and Optimist Championships 2006
01-02 July : Sakae-NOSS Regatta [but for B division only]
04-07 July : National Interschool Championships

I'm like, omg! So many days I will not be free. And I won't be online either. But who cares? I mean, I go online also no one talk to me. I find MSN now useless lah, go online no one talk to me. Worse still my attitude is no one talk to me, I won't talk to them. Unless if there is a need to do so.

Haven't been myself again today. Shit lah... under pressure liao... I see all the homework i can cry. So pressurising! So far I have only done a bit of Math and NOTHING ELSE!!! Secondary school life sucks... all the homework is so hard to do, and the teachers give us homework like throwing away rubbish liddat. Keep giving and giving.

Then now I got sailing competitions, no time to really enjoy my holidays. What kind of shitty holiday is this?!?! Its not even a holiday lah! I can't wait till December and thats when I get to really enjoy the holiday. Like, what does someone have to freaking do to enjoy her holidays?!?!

Anyway, this afternoon planned to meet Celine to do homework at AMK Central. Mostly macs lah, but I sms her and she didn't reply. I was like "WTH! Reply already!" but she never. Then cannot find anyone to pei wo then stay at home rot lor. I bet she must be too busy with her hamster to even bother looking at her hp man. She already borrowed my hamster cage, but I got no sawdust to give her cos i think i gave all to Melody...

That freaking cage costed me like 40 bucks last time when i bought it. With my own money somemore.. haha. Celine is so dead if she breaks it or something...

Anyway, damn pressurised now. So SHUT UP AND DON'T BOTHER ME OR I WILL GO BERSERK!!! But talking to me on msn is okay, so long as you don't keep talking until I get damn bu nai fan.

Okay, BYE!!! Time to chiong homework before I die when school reopens. TATA!

P.S. I changed my blogskin! Yeah! Finally. Must give credit to Ben cos there was once he was nagging at me like siao for me to change my blogskin -_-

Monday, June 19, 2006

I shall advertise:

ben likes KAYA.

Kaya; Gaia.

Wait, you mean you don't get it? oh FOOLS!

Nevermind, I'm sorta siao siao today =)

And oh ya BEN! You owe me hundred bucks for breaking my windows thank you very much. Thanks to your 'singing'. LOL. Thanks, pay me by tomorrow or I shall go around saying O$P$!!!

Errr. Nah, just joking.

Anyway I shall go mad again.

KAYA! Okay, take the Kaya and put it inbetween two slices of bread. The Kaya must be STELLAR brand. LOL!!! HAHAHA! You know Gundam Seed Destiny? Theres this character called Stellar, from EAF, and she pilots the gundam GAIA, which is stolen from ZAFT. So me and ben were like talking over the phone when suddenly while talking about Gundam Seed, he started this lame joke about KAYA.

Cos of GAIA. GET IT? YOU MORONS!!! [opps, just joking].

Anyway, KAYA! Yeah! =D

oooh, Stellar brand somemore. hahaha!

Anyway, time to stop ranting on about KAYA.

Went to Queensway Shopping Center today with Celine and her mom. As usual, LATE again to meet Celine at AMK MRT Station.

Like, Queensway/Queenstown is like so damn far from AMK lah! It took us like, almost half an hour for us to get there!!! First we take MRT to Raffles Place, then from Raffles Place we take to Queenstown. And from the bus stop opposite Queenstown MRT, we take bus 195 until we reach the bus stop opposite Queensway Shopping Center.

Like, how far is THAT! Damn far lah, we on MRT can sleep liao, so boring while waiting to reach the station. Gahhh! Next time I shall go with my dad or something, cos my dad drives. HAHAHA. Easy solutions out hey.

We walked about some shops, and we took a long time to look at some Nike and Addidas shoes from one of the shops. Then Celine and her mom saw shoes they wanted, both Nike, duh! So Celine's mom took some time to try it on, then talk and stuff... so Celine and I went to CONVERSE! Yeah!

And WTH!!! I saw this lovely jacket I really wanna buy. A Converse Brazil colored jacket! YEAH! Its like, awfully nice lah can! But actually, I like the colors used for the GERMANY colored jacket better.

And I really want to buy GERMANY soccer jerseys, you know, just for the fun of it. HAHA! What a money waster sia. But honestly, the Adidas soccer jerseys for Germany are like damn nice lah! Okay, not THAT nice, cos Japan's one are nicer. LOL. But still, GERMANY ROCKS! Ever since today then I have found out how much I love Germany, not only for its colors, but for... I dunno. I started liking Germany cos of the colors. BLACK, YELLOW and RED! YEAH! Nice color combinations yeah?

Anyway, I didn't see shoes nice to be school shoes. Most of the simple Adidas shoes which are for going out have the three stripes, and most of them have a bit of black on em. Anyway, I wouldn't wanna buy that lah. I want to buy an Adidas schoolshoe, those more for like, sports use. Not going out use. Something like Alicia's. HAHA.

Then ate Laksa with Celine at this food stall in the middle of Queensway Shopping Center. Haha. It was quite nice though, and Celine's mom also bought for us Teh Tarik. Like, super nice to drink lah.. but only i felt very full after eating the Laksa, so had some problems trying to finish drinking it. haha.

Walked about somemore, until we came to this shop selling a Brazil shirt with collar that caught Celine's mom's eyes. So we took a look, and the one for Germany not nice. the shirt was RED with black and yellow stripes on the sides!!! NOT nice. I'd prefer a black shirt with red and yellow stripes, just like the design of the Converse jacket. LOL.

Then we walk to this shop selling like... Adidas and Nike and Puma limited stuff. Wah, the shoes for the like, soccer season damn nice.

After that checked the 'scoreboard' in Queensway. With all those Adidas soccer shoes display thingy lah. Then Germany has been winning all the matches it has played so far. WUAHA! GO GERMANY!

Anyway, we stopped by a shop selling those Adidas soccer shoes, and found out in total you can spend just 400 BUCKS ON THOSE SHOES. Siao lah!!! We were like, omg. But the shoes are made out of micro fibre or something, so its damn light.

Wah! 3:22am. Better go sleep cos parents at home. Sure kena scolding one!!! They already came back from bangkok. LOL.

BYE!

Sunday, June 18, 2006

WOAH ITS 4:30AM AND I'M NOT ASLEEP! OMG.

So gonna get eyebags tomorrow. haha!

Was chatting with Ben on the phone just now for about 2 hrs [woah, phone hoggers XD].. and we agreed we shall both sleep at 3:30am! Cos yesterday I slept at 3:30am. haha! So chat and chat until 3:30am liddat, then he decided to jump into lala land. HAHA. And I stayed up and talked to Colin for a while on MSN.. cos he wishes to bash up Jusin Aw. Ouch.

Anyway, the point is, I'm blogging now to prove that I've stayed up till 4:35am before. HAHAHA. So proud of myself, cos this is the first time I've actually done this. Maybe i dare to cos my parents are not at home... away in BANGKOK! And btw, Ben's parents are also in Bangkok, and they left the same day as my parents. Scarly same flight. LOL! That'd be funny.

Anyway.. tata. My turn to go to lala land too, cos i'm really tired! TATA!

zzz...
I'm so glad I'm gonna get a new schoolshoe tomorrow! HAHA! Well, most probably, because I might be going to Queenstown with Celine and her mom only. Without my mom, cos she might not have come back to Singapore at the time I'm going to Queenstown with Celine. But anyway, if my mom did make it back, I wouldn't want her to accompany me either. I'd not wanna tire her out =)

Feeling really sick now. I guess I'm gonna have gastrics, because if i remember correctly this was always how i'd feel before getting gastrics. I hate it... always prone to it. Thought I wouldn't get it anymore this year but I proved myself wrong.

I can always remember the times when I would get gastrics like, two times a week for no reason whatsoever. And I skip school just so that I can get some rest and visit the doctor. Ergh. Awful times. During primary school that is, and I always have to endure all the questions from my classmates like "Oi why never come school?" and if i say gastrics they'd not believe me cos i fall sick so often. Sigh.

I realise now that during the sailing camp, I learnt many things. I learnt to be more responsible, and I must always remember that I'm a part of the sailing team. Although sailing may be an individual sport, but if you are in a school team or club, when the scores are totalled up, your results would affect the whole team. I also learnt that I always must believe in myself at all times.

I noticed that it is always the same, when negative thoughts hit us. I tried it too, when I always got last at the practice races during sailing sessions at sailing camp. I kept thinking, 'I can't win. I'm a sore looser. I'm gonna drag the team down, i'll make them loose so bad, they're gonna hate me for life because I made them loose.' and stuff. When those thoughts hit me, well, I sorta succumbed to the fate i'd thought i'd last with.

In other sense, I already admitted defeat with my own thoughts. So yeah, in the end I did loose. Real badly.

But during the sailing session on Thursday, I realised that if i'd only believe in myself, and tell myself I'm gonna do it, gonna race and win!, thats only then i would really win. I tried it, yeah. And I kept telling myself not to get last, to beat all the sec 1s, and oh woah! I really did it! Even got first among the sec 1s for the second last practice race. Gosh, see how much the negative thoughts make you succumb to them?

I heard this before somewhere - "One person loose, the whole team looses." or something like that before. On TV i think... from the ad about the upcoming Disney Channel movie, High School Musical.

That phrase really hit me hard. It means so much! It was either "one person loose, the whole team loose." if not it was "You loose, the whole team looses." well, either way, it still means so much. I shall keep this phrase in mind.. i guess it really helps =)

To complete life's tasks, we must also learn to persevere.

Meaning from dictionary:
to try to do or continue doing something in a determined way, despite having problems.

Meaning of perseverance from dictionary:
continued effort and determination.

We must have these during sailing too, especially for races. Especially during light wind, where your boat starts moving really slowly. Especially if you aren't a very skilled light wind sailor.

Like me =)

I'm a noob in light wind. I would sometimes even stop there, which is the worst thing, and get into irons. Argh. Those are the times I would wanna explode. LOL.

Anyway, shan't blabber anymore. Shall go help Shanice with her blog, as she said it has some problems, and since I found the problem, might as well help her with it now. See ya! =D

Saturday, June 17, 2006

More about yesterday...

My sailing session yesterday was absolutely WONDERFUL! =D It was like, at the start the wind was too strong, so I grumbled and cursed and kept trying to keep my boat in control.

Stupid MAINSHEET PULLEY. Kept twisting my mainsheet! And during one of the races I had problem sheeting in cos the mainsheet got all twisted up. So fustrating, it was so twisted that the mainsheet got sorta jammed. But I couldn't untwist it because the wind was so strong that when i tried stopping my boat to untwist it, i had to pull it in. And all sailors would know, when stopping your boat you have to ease out, then your boat would stop.

But when I ease out, my arms weren't long enough to reach out to untwist it. Only way I could do it was to either jump into the water and try jumping up while in water like a dolphin or if not pull in the mainsheet and turn the pulley to untwist it.

Of course I took the second option. Too paisei if i took the first option.

So I pulled my mainsheet towards me and my sail caught wind and POOF! I was off again, speeding away in the water. So cannot untwist my mainsheet. No choice but to carry on sailing with a stupid twisted mainsheet, thanks to the stupid pulley.

Anyway.
During the second last and last races, I got 1st and 2nd respectively among the sec 1s! Wen Feng got 2nd in the second last round, so I beat him by one position. Then for the last race the wind got a bit lighter for a while all of a sudden, and I'm not a light wind sailor [not enough skill]. So I sailed slower than him, and he got 1st for the last round while i got 2nd. haha. Shall high-five him one day for swapping positions. LOL.

I am like, totally glad. I feel so accomplised to actually be able to get 1st among the sec 1s!

During all the races the sec 1 byte sailors only needed to do course W1; Windward and Leeward course. While during the second last and last races the other byte sailors had to sail course W2, which is 1 round more than the sec 1 byte sailors!! WUAHAHA. I think Ning Xin thinks uncle thomas is a bit bias. LOL.

But at the start of the day on the bus, I was very sad. Felt like screaming when I saw the calculated results from Mrs Sidhu...

Among all the Byte and Optimist sailors....

I got..
Last in position.

My Discard marks were the most, and wait, WTH is discard marks? I dunno... shall ask Mrs Sidhu next sailing session, Tuesday.

I am such a looser. I totally stink in sailing. How could I get last? Well, actually I'm not last, Samantha is. But thats cos she didn't come for sailing camp. But I think she was supposed to come or something, but i guess she didn't. And I heard that during the last sailing camp she was in my group or something, and I assume that when you get into one group, you'd stay in that group until you leave sailing when you're sec 4. So most probably I'd be in Zach's group all my secondary school life. As in, group 1.

But Ryan and I got best newcomers.. Mrs Sidhu said while announcing the best newcomers that we were trying very hard, so they'd like to encourage us. Then she said "And best newcomers go to... GWEN and RYAN!" and everyone was like, wooting. As in, for Ryan lah. All the guys helped Ryan go hyper. LOL.

The prizes were a notebook and a swiss army knife [this small little long oval shaped thing with many different knives in it and all]. Mrs Sidhu said we choose among both of us. Ryan immediately took the knife, leaving me with the notebook. I grumbled and pestered him for the knife, but he refused to give it. He was so mean lah!!!

Then the group i was in, Turtle [Power] got 1st! Well, no thanks to me actually. I was surprised we got first. Actually, I sorta expected it too, because of Zach. He got 1st in the whole sailing team, and his discard points were VERY VERY little, so naturally he pulled up our points, while I pulled it down. Sigh...

Ms Cheng said it was encouraged for all sailors to go for weekend classes, as the school would pay for half or dunno how much of the fees. But its on Saturday and Sunday, and I don't have time, but I heard that when Zach was sec 2 he went for those lessons, with Siu Ngee, Tzu Ling, Luo Ling and Daryl. But only Zach remained there for a year. And after he went for the classes, he improved tremendesly. So I also wanna go, but it would be a bit paisei to see Zach there cos I'm like, a noob in sailing. and I can't afford to end up in the same class as him. I would totally be so paisei to keep loosing. LOL.

But I really should consider it, cos I really wanna improve in my sailing skills and all, and most importantly I wanna stop getting last at races. Ms Cheng said if I really wanna be commited then I can go.

Oh well, shall discuss with my parents when they come back from Bangkok.

This afternoon my computer was berserk. You know sometimes when you don't turn off your computer properly, they'd ask you whether you would like to start your computer in Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Network, Safe Mode with Command Settings or something, Last Known good settings or Start Windows Normally.

I tried all options, but my computer would not go into the like, the screen where you see all the usernames and when you click on your own you'd have to type in your pass if you set a pass or something.

But before it goes to that screen, it would restart itself and ask me all those options again. GRR. So I took a while, used my original Windows XP CD and started all the configurations and all and voila! My comp is okay! =D I love fixing up stuff. LOL.

If only you'd learn, To appreciate; To believe;
Especially in yourself.

Okay, really tired out now. For once in my life, I didn't drag myself to wake up to get to sailing training.

Actually, my dad did.

I was woken up early in the morning [its actually about 10:22am. LOL] by my dad, who came into my room asking if i needed any money for like, sailing training, and all. He gave me about 10 bucks at first, and about another 20 to bring my brother to buy this silly-sounding toy gun for play, or target practice. Another 20 was given to me in case I needed to buy food when I got there, for me and my brother.

Sometimes I ever wonder, why does my brother actually indulge himself in these.. these.. these JUNK!

Has anyone ever wondered, that as a kid, we all had fantasys and wild imagination? I remembered that my cousins and I used to make our stuff toys 'talk'. We were like *grabs a stuffed doll* "Oh hi my name is Blah Blah! Whats yours?" and the cousin will take another stuffed toy and go "Oh I am Blah Blah no. 2! Nice to meet you!" and all.

Actually, as kids, we always had cravings for a certain something..

Nope, not CHOCOLATE.

But TOYS!

Yes, please don't deny it. In everyones' heart, we all used to love toys. We'd want one everywhere we go. Like dolls, toy cars, Barbie Dolls.

But now that we think of what we bought, all those toys, we feel that it has been a waste of money. How many people can actually tell me that they feel that they've not wasted their money on their toys? I could bet no one. Now that we actually bother to look back, things we've bought in a rush-decision [for example, you see already then beg your parents for it] are always the main 'waste of money' problem.

Stuff like these, I believe, I bought too. Yeah, like my Enzer Discman. HAH! Cheap, like about 90+ bucks? And oooh so flat! So compact. Yep, the DREAM discman!

But wait, as my dad and I have agreed that a discman shall be my reward for doing well in examinations, I wanted one so badly. Due to the fact that my older discman's cover broke into two. So I just told my dad to buy it. Sure, my dad did tell me to reconsider, but hasty as the person i am always known in my family to be, I just told my dad to buy it.

When he did, boy did I really regret. The quality sucks like hell! When you put the CD into the discman and close the cover and press the play button, you'd think nothing would go wrong with it. But wait! Theres a problem... try playing the CD when you're WALKING. HAH! You'd vomit blood I tell you first. The CD will keep jumping. So all you'd hear is this...

"Dance, *hic!* Dance. We're falling *hic!* apart to *hic!* half *hic!* time" or something. Okay, lyrics extracted from my favourite song of all time - Dance, Dance; Fall Out Boy. I think those are the lyrics cos i didn't bother searching them up.

Like, everytime you lift up your leg to walk, the CD jumps! Woah, what a good quality discman! We shall now CLAP for the quality.

Ever since then, Enzer has been my most hated brand for electronics. No matter how stylish, I'd still hate Enzer. Though the telephones are quite nice.. and even styli- oh what am I saying. I shall hate Enzer all my life for ruining my 'Do Well for Exam' prezzie. Geez.

I hate being hasty. But thats my personality. I've made my dad waste hundreds of dollars on my whims and fancies. I really hate myself for that. Why can't i be a good daughter when I was younger, and help my dad do stuff instead of asking him to buy me stuff all the time?

Well, this is life.

Life, with that many spoilt brats in the world. All the rich kids, spoilt kids.

I don't know why I suddenly brought up the rich kid topic. Just felt like it. I guess I hate spoilt brats. Who does?

Identification method of spoilt brats -

[mostly] Teenagers who ask their parents for many expensive items, even though they got something of the same function in their hands and its new, or hasn't even been used for past a year.

Teenagers who keep asking people to run errands for them. They don't bother doing it themselves.


Well, I don't know. Whats your method of identifying spoilt brats? I'm not sure what the methods are, but there are many. For some people, all you have to do is look at their faces and aha! You know their being spoilt badly by their parents. Seesh!

Shall blog more tomorrow, really tired now. 2 in the morning already, and happy birthday Eileen!

TTFN, tata for now huhuhu!

YOYO! BACK FROM SAILING CAMP WOOHOO!

I love the MFSS sailing team YEAH! The camp was so fun, except the sailing part. I hate the wind! For all 3 days so strong. I feel like crying so much after sailing. It hurts to have so many bruises. We sailed for almost 5 hrs. And the worst thing?

I forgot to bring my WATERBOTTLE down to camp.


How could i be just so STUPID! Its sailing! Sailing we're talking about! Sailing needs waterbottle for sure!!!

Or maybe i brought it, but left it somewhere. haha.

Then me and David got a bit of scolding from Mrs Sidhu. LOL. He didn't bring his waterbottle either, so we both suffered.

So we went waterless for the whole time we sailed. and its for 3 days somemore. Only can taste SALT WATER. At SAFYC there never sell bottled drinks like at NSC, so we have no choice, must ren zhu!

The first day and third day's wind was damn strong, so strong i spent most of my time hiking out. Now my like, ankle area there is red, and it hurts like sunburn!

STUPID BEETLES IN THE STUPID ROOMS! I hate nights at SAFYC. All the beetles flying and crawling around our stuff that we're airing outside of the place! Its like, i think 100 plus beetles, or more! Then everyone kept killing so many beetles.

I heard Justin tell Zach, "Wah, see all the dead bodies!" and Zach said "Ya, I think I killed most of them." and they started laughing hysterically. I could only look at them and 'Dots.." its like, beetles everywhere! Even on the tables and all. All the girls [except Yi Xuan and some others] kept screaming when they saw the beetles around during dinner and all. Including me. I was the worst i think. LOL.

I shall key in the journal entry i wrote during the first day during the time when we all had to gather on 3 tables to do our holiday homeworks [with somethings added in]...

8:42pm ; Homeworking session, SAF Yatch Club

I totally injured myself today!

Firstly, when I got to school, everyone was there. Okay, not really. Chee Teng and Yi Xuan arrived at the same time as me! As in, when I got near the school i noticed two cars infront of my dad's car. I thought they were not going to turn into my school or anything, cos i thought that like, they don't even have a need to enter the school.

But they did. So, okay. Then when they stopped infront of my dad's car, the car doors from each car opened like, simutaniously [or however you spell it]. Then Chee Teng came out of his dad's car. Then Yi Xuan came out of her dad's car. Then it was my turn to come out of my dad's car. LOL.

Then when I got there, I just runned into the school's foyer and dumped my bag onto the ground near our usual gathering area before setting off for sailing. I ran cos everyone especially the boys were gathered at the railings at the ramp at the foyer, and I just cut my hair, so I damn paisei. As I rushed pass them, I heard someone [i think Lin Jie or Joeseph] say "wah you cut your hair!" as in, not a laugh-able way lah, almost sounded like a compliment.

Peck Khee brought me to the sailing corner to get a life jacket which is in the metal cupboard. Medium, orange, number 38. Then she passed to me my sailing camp tee, which design on was designed by Peck Khee, my design wasn't chosen. But I'm not sad, Peck Khee's design is so... nice! And detailed. So, no wonder. LOL.

The sailing camp tee sucks! okay, not really. But its like, blue, APPROVED! But there's also yellow, NOT APPROVED! A yellow stripe down the collar of the tee, and on many parts of the design of the sailing tee. Like, omg! Dark blue with yellow. And a weird shade of yellow somemore. GEEZ! Damn weird lah!

Anyway, now is study period. HAHA! Sailing camp, and everyone is crowded about 3 seperate tables. I noticed that seniors [sec 3s and 4s] are crowded about one table, while the sec 1s and 2s are gathered around the remaining two tables. Like, one table is full of upper sec people, while the other two tables are filled with lower sec people, and we didn't talk to any of the upper sec people, we only just did our homework among ourselves. While the upper sec people did their homework among themselves too.

[actually the journal entry ended here, with a "Shall say more later... supposed to study now LOL." but from this point i shall add in somemore, which i had no time to write in]

But of course, we spent most of our time talking lah. But when we asked questions, we only asked those from lower sec.

Peck Khee and Ning Xin kept asking Justin for Math help. Then Justin did a few simple sums for Peck Khee, on a fullscap paper. Then Ning Xin grabbed Peck Khee's paper and waved it in my face while i was calculating something and she cried "OH LOOK! Its Justin's handwriting! Admire it and stare at it all you want gal!"

Then Justin came over to our table to borrow calculator. Then when he asked if he could borrow one, Ning Xin immediately pushed mine to him, since I left it infront of me and i wasn't using it. Then she said "here, you can use this one -" and he walked off to his table. Then she said really softly, "And it belongs to Gwen!" and she was so glad he took my calculator without realising it was MINE!

Then when he returned it she was even more happy, and teased me about it. GRR! Ning Xin, you shall get it!

Well, at least now he isn't so cold to me. Unlike last time, he kept avoiding me while i avoided him, because of Aaron lah.


During one of the sailing sessions, when I sailed past him, he actually said "Ei uh Gwen! Help me block Liang Hong's wind, I pay you!" and i raised an eyebrow at him. Liang Hong was sailing like, right behind me. And I could easily block Liang Hong's wind. LOL.

The boys also kept saying "Brokeback" or something like that and somemore lame stuff, which means something like, gay. Not happy and gay that gay. haha!

Anyway, I'm really tired now, since I just came back from camp. Shall blog more tomorrow, if not when i have the mood to blog about the camp.
lol.

Tomorrow I'm going off for sailing camp! HAHA. I thought it was gonna be cool, you know, like, you spend 2 days sailing! That is so freaking cool lah! But I heard from Tzu Ling that its not all fun and games, but we're also going to have a real tough time... DOING PT!

[For those who don't know what PT is, it means Physical Training. Yups. *nods head furiously*]

3 days.. it will be over in a split sec? haha. okay fine, must ren zhu! And wait - I haven't even started packing! Die! Haha. Tomorrow, 8:45am must reach school. What are they trying to do to us? Make us die from waking up too early?!?!

Anyway.
I have so many things I wanna do now. haha. like, getting to eat ice cream in the middle of the night! =D

I don't have to pack much, its a 3 days 2 nights thing. But I hope I don't drown out at sea. haha. We're going to be staying over at a different location, a new clubhouse, i heard. Not staying at NSC! [National Sailing Center]

I heard some people may be using TOPPER.

oi,
TOPPER LEH!!!

I heard topper no fun. Hello? DUH! Bytes are the coolest, the best! No toppers, NO TOPPERS!!! If i kena topper i dunno what i will do. haha. I hope i don't get to be one of the person who will use topper. The way the seniors talk about Toppers? They make it sound like dirt in the ground.

I just got my hair cut yesterday, and hooh! now, and it is neater than before. haha! Boy, did I get nice comments. It was like after I got my hair cut, one of the lady working there told me i looked more lady-like.

Then when I went to Celine's place at 12+, her mom was like telling my mom i looked so much better, then Celine and Yan Qi said that my hairstyle was so nice and that they also wanted to get their hair cut asap. LOL.

Then today at ah mah's place, my gran's maid said my hair now so much nicer. Then Amanda saw me and went "Wah your hair so nice!". Then Melody saw me, she looked at me and said hi. Then she turned back to the TV and one sec later she quickly turned back her head again and went "WAH! YOU CUT YOUR HAIR?!?! SO NICEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!" and started talking about how nice my hair is, and how she wanted to cut her hair to like, my hair length liddat. Then I dunno how to tie up my hair now, so she experimented with my hair and told me how i tie my hair nice and how i should clip up my hair. LOL.

oh gosh, tomorrow got sailing. Aaron sure laugh his head off or something at me. haha. Quin will look at me a bit shocked, then say something stupid and look away. haha. No lah, just joking.

Shall go do some packing first.. tata! =D

"Don't you see baby asi es perfecto" ; Hips Don't Lie - Shakira.
I THINK I AM JUST GOING TO BREAK INTO ONE MILLION PIECES.

Firstly, my dad isn't happy, cos there is this boss who really likes him [as a like, he really likes my dad's attitude and passion for his job and stuff]. So this boss wants my dad to work in his company. The pay is about the same, but the things he may have to do might be different. From what my mom told me, this new boss is pretty nice. What my dad isn't sure about is that for his like, section in NTUC, he is getting a new boss. He doesn't know if this boss would be nice or not. And since the other boss is nice, he isn't sure whether to stay in NTUC or to go over to the other company...

so yesterday he was really troubled. And when he accidentally hit me when i ran past him [he stuck his hand out to take something just as i rushed past him], he scolded me like siao. I was really shocked. Then when walking to Celine's house, my mom told me why my dad was so troubled. I felt like crying. As a daughter, I couldn't be of any help when my dad feels like this.

Next, my gran sometimes isn't feeling well. I feel so worried for her. I think i ain't spending enough time with her. I feel so guilty of not being a good granddaughter, whom she loves so much. I'm very close to my grandmother, but yet, I don't know. I'm just not spending enough time with her. I feel so worried. If she leaves, I shall have a serious breakdown. Though she will NEVER leave this world. I assure myself... yeah.

This post isn't long... i'm in not much of a mood to post much. Heh, not practical of me right?

Okay, now leave me alone. I shall sit at a corner and scream like no one was home. The only way to relieve stress, right? I think i'm not gonna smile for another day or so... yeah. and yeah, now its raining.

Forgot to post about Ethel's birthday party. haha. was practically too lazy to do so, because i was doing up the one Endeavour blog.. haha. I have been having coding problems.. like whenever i put in the coding for the DIV ID="navi" thingy, the whole coding goes wrong.

So any soul kind enough to help me or something, please do! Will appreciate it.. haha.

As usual, I went to Ethel's place late. very. I was late to meet Felicia and Shanice, so they waited for me for about half an hour at J8... sorry! But i was late cos i didn't even know Felicia and Shanice were meeting me. I called Felicia beforehand and she said "See first." so i automatically assumed that they weren't meeting me. Never was I to know... haha

Then when we got up bus 55 [what celine told us], we realised that the bus was headed for AMK region. Wait wait, Ethel's condo is at Bishan, not AMK! So I told them, then they said better hurry get off, and we found ourselves in the middle of Bishan Park. So sucky lah! Then we called Ethel, then she told us its bus 56 and not 55!!!

But Shanice showed me the sms that it stated there "Take bus 55 can reach le" and we were like, so mad at Ethel, but later found out that it was Celine who used Ethel's hp to sms Shanice. LOL! So we took taxi there instead of taking another bus, cos we might have to wait a longer time, and we might stop off at the wrong stop.

Okay, so nevermind about that. When we got to Ethel's party, it was a BBQ lah, then we saw like, the BOYS there. Derrick, Max, PeiWen, Garey, Arthur, Jun Liang, YI MING?!?! and Chnia Gee, and somemore but i totally forgot.

They look so totally different lah! As in, Pei Wen's voice was much deeper, that when he spoke I couldn't recognise it was his voice, then Chnia Gee spiked his hair and stopped wearing glasses, Derrick - still the same, Max also seemed to spike his hair a little, Garey also spike his hair, the rest practically remained unchanged.

Then wah lao, Ethel too rich liao lah! She actually had like, crabs to be barbecued!!! OMG LAH! CRAB LEH! and like, not only one crab, but about 5 or i think more! Then we played Bingo, and dodgeball, and football, and more Bingo. For one of the rounds for Bingo, the winner who Bingo-ed 2 rows can win a BILLABONG JACKET OR PUMA JACKET!!! omg lah!!! But Jia Ying won it T_T. I only had like, 3 numbers i missed before i bingo. 3 numbers on each line i meant. So sway right! I could bingo like, 4 or 5 times. But just missed one number for each row i could bingo. SWAY!

Okay, post more later... going to go out to have my hair cut... T_T
Will miss my super-long fringe. hahah!
