I just returned from a mini GNO with Amanda... actually it's more of a girls evening out. We went for a movie and looked for novels, had dinner and shopped. Typical. I guess that's how some might put it. Not for us though, fascinating stuff seem to occur to us at all our outings.
We went to watch Bride Wars and while we were queueing up to get our drinks, we chatted. So when it was our turn, naturally we were in the midst of our conversation. Normally, people say 'Hi! How can I help you?' or something similar. But the guy behind the counter simply said 'Hi!' so I looked at him for a brief moment and said 'Hi!' before turning back to Amanda to finish up my sentence. However, she started laughing and so did another guy behind the counter. The guy that said 'hi' looked confused and so was I. So the both of us stared at each other and looked confused - thankfully the queue ended with us. I then proceeded to order our drinks while the two of them continued laughing. It was only a while later that I caught the punchline - I said hi - -funny(at that moment) - -and started the hysterics too. Apparently, the guy who was previously confused caught it too and we all started laughing.
I guess to people around who do not have a clue on what was going on, they probably thought that we were friends.
This is just one of the countless incidents we have encountered so far.
Anyway, it was indeed a great night. The chatting would probably continue later on if Amanda calls me. The two of us can talk for hours and even if we hang up, we would still have loads to talk about.

Went to the Hospital today with Pam, Amanda, Ky and some teachers, to visit a classmate of ours. We got the news yesterday and was really shocked. He wasn't totally conscious yet, but he seems fine. Hope that they can be discharged and return to class soon. It's a crucial year for all of us.
It's kind of weird actually, I was discussing with Pam about haw we aren't close to the two of them involved, yet somehow when we heard the news shock and sadness washed over us. I do have a theory though. I think it's because we have spent a couple of years an the same class and unknowingly we just sort of...bond.
Anyway, hope you guys get well soon.
Best wishes!!!

Yo!! Happy lunar new year every one.
All the visiting and all is kind of tiring actually.
I haven't blogged in a while. There just really isn't much to blog about. The time I spent in school is quite repetitive - lessons, recess and more lessons. Sure, funny thing do happen daily - almost - but it's kind of inconvenient to mention some, and as for others, it actually originated sometime ago and to tell the entire story, it would just take too much time. And time is something really important especially this year.
Anyway, I'm blogging just to wish all of you a Happy Lunar New Year. May you all enjoy the bliss and laughter showered onto you by your friends and family. Success is also part of life, so may you achieve success in all that you attempt.
Good Luck.

Hooray!! I've gt my idea for my D&T artefact and may start on my model. Most of my research is done. I'm so happy. It is relatively easy, i think. And hopefully, I am able to finish this earlier this year. Everything is tougher, thankfully, I'm still coping pretty well.
I was actually not in a really good mood this morning. I felt pretty frustrated and just really uncomfortable. I don't know why. Then I realised something and apparently, Pam and KaiYun felt the same way. We were actually pretty annoyed. Really...sometimes it's hard to grasp the entire situation. After school ended, I felt better and now, I'm just doing my homework and blogging while taking a break.
I had a chat with a great friend in Taiwan and my spirits lifted. I haven't seen her for a while and everyone in my family misses her.
I have lots of things coming up as well, firstly, there is SYF 2009, then we have our CAs, then I have to complete my artefact, etc. It sure is going to be a busy year.
Let's all work together!

Not a day have passed where we did not have any homework. I've never had so much homework in my life. There's homework for almost every subject and it's all really tough and tiring. Especially on Tuesdays when I have choir practice and by the time I reach home it will be about 7pm. Then I'll have to have my bath and dinner, so by the time I actually start on my work it's about eight. And by the time I complete them it will be around midnight. It's exhausting. I really want to do well for this exams. I really scared. When I decided to take this route, I knew that I had to work doubly hard, and I have been doing so. But now I think I'll have to double that effort. If I was afraid of the exams last year, I'm going to be twice as terrified this year. Thankfully, I'm still able to cope with classwork and lessons are still understandable. I am still able to manage my lessons. If things go on this pace, I may be able to meet my targets. However, I highly doubt that possibility...

My homework is totally piling up. I had choir till six and by the time I had my dinner and a short rest, it was 8.30pm. And... My homework is only almost done. I've had several ideas for my D&T artefact, I'm not sure if they'll work though. I'm going to discuss them with my teacher tomorrow.
What is the hell is wrong with you people??? If I didn't know better, I'd think that you're six. Can you at least try to be mature or at least act your age??? It's damn childish! I really don't have a clue to what is freaking wrong with your minds. It's like there is something wrong with you intellectually. Things like that can be funny the first and second time it happens. But as time goes on, it gets bloody sickening. I'M TOTALLY SICK OF ALL OF YOU!!! I can be quite tolerant and I am still tolerating. You really won't like me getting in your face so back the hell off okay!!! There is a limit to everything including my patience. So far, I've not even spoken directly to you! Don't make me raise my voice!!! You've already used up all the tolerance I have. Don't try me. This is so not a threat. I really don't want to lose my temper. I've been controlling my temper and it's going pretty well. I really don't want to snap. Just back off okay!!! My dislike haven't turned to hate yet!!! Just get the freaking hell out of my face and things will be okay... This I promise you.
I really hate using my blog to type negative stuff like that but I don't want to talk to you directly lest I lose my control.

It's is a pretty exciting day today... loads of stuff happened.
Just this morning, there was an attire check and my skirt was found to be too short. In all my life in school, I have never had attire problems, this is a first. Most people were shocked. My skirt is already touching my knee caps. Anyway, We got back to class and attempted a specimen paper. It was a little more difficult than the usual ones, but I think we'll manage. We also had a lot of fun during PE. We played this game - it's hard to explain - but it sort of shows the bond between people and having known each other for so long, I felt that we bonded pretty well.
After school, The D&T students - including myself - went to collect our O-level question paper. I'm still thinking really hard. I haven't really had any idea(s) yet.
And then, there was the release of the O-level results. I went to congratulate and comfort(sort of) my friends. I am really happy for them. Now, I'm worried about myself. The atmosphere in the hall earlier today was really tense and if I was the one taking my results, I'm sure it's going to be a whole lot worse.
Oh... by the way, just a reminder to students from 4N2 '08 please bring along $10 to school latest by this Thursday and pass it to Amanda, Pamela, Leon or myself.
Should you require more information, feel free to call anyone of us.
Thank You.

I just completed editing my class blog. I think I'm quite satisfied with it. Now, my neck is aching. I don't mind the ache. I just hope that the class blog will be put to good use.
Choir practices lately have been productive. I've learnt a lot. After stepping down early last year, I've become a little rusty but I'm back in shape now. We had CCA for almost the entire curriculum time today. We were supposed to have a form teacher's period, but as the rest of our class had gone on a poly visit - the few of us were needed by our respective CCAs - we went to get the English compilation for some of our classmates and went to the hall for a brief period of time before heading home.
And I'm going out to purchase my biology materials.
Best wishes.

School was pretty vexing today. Most of us were practically rushing through our work. During biology today, Ms Chandran talked to us about the future path we may take and what it takes for us to achieve our goal. As I listened, a lot really went through my mind. I felt really scared, nervous and just confused. Amanda described this feeling as being pulled back down to reality. However, it seems more like hell to me. I don't know. It's kind of hard to describe that feeling. It's kind of painful actually.
Anyway, Choypheng, Junhao and Timothy came back to see us today. They spotted me first called for me. Our study corner was pretty dark today and I did not recognise them at first. So I went like Who are you? and Kaiyun told me it was Cp. We had a good laugh about it afterwards. It's really nice of them. It felt great to see them again. We went for lunch...Amanda and Jianxiong joined us too. I think seeing them today sort of compensated for some of the pain. Not all. Obviously. I highly doubt anything is able to relieve that pain right now. But as they say 'No pain, no gain.' And I really hope to gain something in the end - excellent results. I must see results. I am very sure that this year's schedule is going to be much much more hectic and strenuous as compared to last year's. But I've made my choice and I will endure and persevere. I hope that you all do to.
Lots of love.

2nd day of school. Voted chairperson again. Leon's the vice-chairperson.
We decorated the the notice board too. It's really colourful. Lessons will start officially on Wednesday. This means more admin stuff to settle tomorrow. And more decorations to put up. We may be watching a movie as a class tomorrow too.
I do not know what's wrong with me... I'm writing in really short sentences. But that's the rough idea of what we did today. We are going to have a class blog up soon. Weiqi is in charge of that and I'm really eager to see the end product. We did discuss about having one last year, but in the end, the plan was aborted, so I hope this year's blog will be a success.
Tomorrow, it will be a little more relaxed as we only have to add detail to the class decorations and settle some admin stuff. Then we may watch a movie. I'm sure it's going to be great - to have some time for the class to bond.
This morning, I met up with a few of my friends cum ex-classmates to catch up. It's nice to see them all again. We chatted - well, mostly, I listened - and laughed a lot. Basically, I had a lot of fun. The emotions I had when I saw them were kind of mixed actually. I was ecstatic because I finally get to see them again, I was sad because I know that after this meeting it will probably be a while before we see each other again and I felt blessed because, well, I've got friends like them. I was teary, but as all of them are guys, and I really did not feel like crying in front of them, so, I controlled myself, and it was with tremendous effort. ( I must sound like a crybaby!) I really hope to see them again soon.
Hey buddies!! Best of luck in your future endeavours. May you enjoy bliss and reap the fruits of your labour.
All the best!

It is our first day back at school today. As usual, my register number is 1 and Pam is 2. There are only 25 students in my class and comparing this with the class I had last year, it feels kind of empty. Although I'm ecstatic to be back at school, it sort of saddens me to feel the emptiness of the classroom. I really miss my friends.
We also had a change of principal. He is kind of funny and somehow, most people enjoy his speeches. During his address this morning, I received a call and by some coincidence, they were talking about us, students, not being allowed to use our mobiles during curriculum time. Obviously, I ignored the ringing.
After dismissal, I checked my phone and realised it was Kelvin. I returned the call and managed to chat with him as well as ChoyPheng and JunHao. It felt awesome. I really miss them a lot. I almost cried just talking to them, but I managed to control myself. I really wish to see them again. We talked about the schools they were attending and their courses and just stuff. I also started to play around with the idea of a reunion party nearing the end of this year.
I also met Angie and Eileen again. Somehow, it feels great to just to see my friends again.
I really miss you all. Hope to see you all again sometime soon.
Good luck in your future endeavours and may you be blessed with bliss and good fortune wherever you are.
See you!!
