Had Chinese Oral today.
Luckily my examiners are nice teachers.
I totally flunk my reading. Luckily its only 10 marks. When I dunno how to read the words, my voice became damn low.
The conversation is quite weird. Everything that I prepared for did not come out! So my answers to the questions are all very weird. The oral ended quite early.

Followed my mum to parents meeting today. Talk to my form teacher before going to see Mrs Tan. Went home to bathe before going to Yuxi's house to do ss project. Had lunch at J8 with Yuxi, Huiying and Wanzi. Walked to Yuxi's house. Did ss project. Drawing the map took a really long time. Peiting came and we completed around half of the ppt slides before watching dvd. It was not really a scary show but with Huiying's screaming, it does add to the effect. We finished watching, snack a little and took mrt to plaza sing for class dinner. It wasnt really a class dinner, seeing the no. of people who turned up. Yuxi, Wanzi, Gloria and I had to isolate ourselves, so we ate pretty fast to get out of pasta mania. I was quite full before eating and I was bloated after eating. We shopped around after eating. Read baby blues at Times! Went back to pasta mania to find everybody gone. Met the rest again but left for home with Huiying, Wanzi, Yuxi and Gloria after a short while. I think the class dinner was kinda pathetic...

OMG! Just watched Amazing Race Season 9! I love it! I love the ending! The Hippies won!!! Eric and Jeremy were leading at first but the last test was more on the brains and the hippies won! I like Ray and Yolanda too cos they were still very happy after finishing the race 3rd in position. I still cannot believe it. When the hippies took a long time to find the ski-shoes, I thought Eric and Jeremy will win but who noes, twist at the end. :) BJ and Tyler will always remain 'THE HIPPIES' !!!

Physics lesson was so fake today. Suddenly the lesson was so funny and interesting? Firstly cos our classroom's blackboard is not magnetic and he badly wanted to use his arrows, we had to go to com lab 4. Secondly, the whiteboard markers were out today and he had to go and get some. What bad luck! Really, with a video cam infront, everything is so fake.
Sculptural Walk turned out to be quite fun. When we heard our facilitator talking, Estee and I thought that she will be damn boring. I love break time! Bought a cup of barley at Burger King and at the last minute, we decided to go to jollibean. Miss Low and Miss Tan thought that it was too late but they were nice to let Siyi and Xueting run to the store to buy drinks. Miss Tan said that only Siyi is normal cos she drank soya bean milk while Xueting, Peiting and Estee drank watermelon soya bean milk! hahas. While seeing the sculptures, we see them as ourselves. Peiting is the coolie carrying Xueting, the sack, while Siyi is the one waiting to carry Xueting. Jaslene, Estee and I were the kampong boys. Regina even touched Jaslene's butt! hahas. The artist's signature is on Estee's butt! We took quite a number of photos, some were scandalous! -points at Xueting- hahas. Went back to school. During the trip, Estee and I planned to sleep but we were the pit-stop for the prinkles to pass and we couldn't resist eating. Ate until we were full. :D Reached school and waited for my dad at the canteen with Estee, Erica, Xueting and Audrey.

PE was tiring but fun today. I didn't noe there are so many ways of throwing the frisbee. Team up with Estee, Peiting, Mindy and Cheryl. We had a match against each other before competing with another group. We laughed so much during the match within our group and it got really tiring. We either tied or lost to the other team. Frisbee match can be so exhausting.
I like art lesson today when we got to play with ink. We were supposed to draw ourselves in a scene of a fairytale. Had a long time thinking what to draw since we had no picture to copy. In the end, I drew Snow White from my badge from 7-11. Audrey drew a damn cute squirrel from Ice Age 2, Wen Shin drew Piglet and Mindy drew Chicken Little! hahas. I didn't want to be Snow White so I drew an apple tree next to her and I am the apple dangling from the apple tree! The apple had specs on too! :D

Back to school again today. Couldn't wait to see all my friends! Had a difficult time catching up in Maths. I think I really missed alot of lessons. Realised that there is alot of homework to do! Biology, Maths... Got back all the test papers today that were given out last week. Haiz... Don't want to talk about them. Had Amundsen recess today! Although we didn't really have a proper recess and not everybody was there... Ate the left-over peanut cream crackers from obs for recess today. Still in the mood for obs! Haiz... Tmr's social studies paper and I haven't study for it yet. (and I can still come online?) I was busy finishing the homework that I missed last week during the whole afternoon.

OBS camp (8/5 - 12/5)
1st day:
Couldnt wait to wake up. Sent my sis to school before going to pick Estee to go to punggol jetty. Reached there and waited for all to arrive. When everybody arrived, we set off for pulau ubin! 3 Loyalty sat on our own 'class boat', all 10 of us. We were singing to our desination. When we reached pulau ubin, we were split into watches. My watch is Amundsen, instructor is Samantha and members are Peiling, Debbie, Yimin, Vanessa, Vanessa, Yushi, Erica, Roslyn, Audrey, Maple, Chloe, Yanzhu, Natalie, Daphne, Huichun and Xiuxian. Everyone settled down in our watches and had a briefing. After the briefing, we had ice breakers within our watches. We introduced ourselves and played games to know each other better. We were also assigned different posts. I am the medical ic. After playing, we cleaned the equipment from our store and packed the food for different days. After doing so, we had our lunch together. After eating, we played a game of trust before our first activity started --- Belaying. It was fun. I learnt how to put on the harnest. After belaying, we pitched our tents at camp site 2. Outdoor cooking for dinner --- Rice, Peanuts, Baked beans and Luncheon meat. After eating, we went to bathe. Relaxation. We sat down to talk and had our supper when there was a fire drill. After firedrill, we went to our tents to sleep. Slept with Erica, Roslyn and Yushi. Couldnt sleep tat night cos I kept hearing music. I woke up every hour. Haiz...
2nd day:
Woke up early to pack my backpack for travelling. The backpack is damn heavy cos of the poncho. After packing and washing up, went to unpitch the tent. After having breakfast and placing our bags into a boat, we began our kayaking lesson. Paired up with Roslyn for kayaking. Did capsized drill first then we set off to row to camp site 1. During rowing, we practised rescuing if someone capsized. Reached camp site 1. Placed the kayaks and paddles before going for a rinse. Changed to clean clothes before going for a proper lunch at the cafeteria. After lunch, we did rope activity. Too bad not all of us could have a try. I was one of the unlucky ones. We were encouraing those who were afraid to finish the activity. After the activity, we went to pitch our tents for the night. Had dinner before bathing but I didnt bathe tat day. Sat together to discuss about the route we will be goin for the next day's land expedition where we had to walk around the island, finding for check points with our heavy backpacks. We plotted the check points on the maps and were assigned duties. I was the pacer. Slept well tat night cos I was really tired.
3rd day:
Woke up early, unpitched the tent and went for breakfast. After eating and packing up, we set off for the land expedition. Carrying our heavy backpacks, we walked for very far distance. Once we went the wrong way and had to back track. We were all complaining and looking forward to resting. It was great to successfully find the check points. Most of the groups gave up at their 2nd or 3rd checkpoints. We wanted to give up but in the end, we finished the whole journey. Went to visit the headman of pulau ubin house before going o our next campsite. My legs were breaking when we reached the campsite. We were the last watch there but we accomplished our mission. Pitched our tents and cooked in the dark. This campsite had no toilet so we could not bathe and could only do our business at the bushes. So gross. Had a discussion and our instructor told us a lame ghost story. After talking, we went back to our tents to sleep. Changed clothes and packed up before sleeping. Slept quite well except for the music playing from johor and the fear that wild boar will come.
4th day:
Woke up early to pack up and at 5am went to do our night shift. Gazed at the stars and listened to Erica and Roslyn talk about soccer. After our shift ended, went back to unpitch our tent. Loaded our bags onto the boat before we set off on our sea expedition. We had to kayak around the island back to campsite 2. I was the only one on single kayak cos there is odd number. I was quite scared cos there were lots of jellyfish around. Many ppl cheered me on when I set off. We kayaked together as 1 st nicks, cheering each other on. Actually kayaking on single kayak was ok cos there was more freedom and I can kayak anywhere I want. We beached up to have lunch. Many went to the sea to do their business. GROSS. Set off again after lunch. Reached camp site 2 with a good timing, better than expected. Washed the kayaks and unloaded our stuffs. Gathered together before going off to pitch our tents. Visited the toilet first before going to pitch the tent. Didnt had time to pich the tent so my group of 4 was split up to bunk in with other groups' tents. Went to bathe before sitting together as a watch on the beach for dinner. We joked and talked while eating. I had fun then, really relaxed. After dinner, went back to the stall to clear our stuffs, washed the equipment... I found out I had heat rash all over my thighs. shit. Went to apply lotion with those who had rashes also. It began to rain when we were packing up. haiz... The rain finally stopped and we still had to sleep in our tents. We were the only watch sleeping in our tents while the others were sleeping somewhere else. Most of the tents were flooded and we had to clean it before sleeping. Slept in a weird position but I slept throughout the night.
5th day:
Last day of the camp. We woke up later than expected. Unpitch the tents before going back to clear the store. Had breakfast while cleaning up. After washing everything, we said goodbye to the store. Sat together to reflect on the whole camp. Played 1 last game and did evaluation. We received our certs and photos. Went to the souvenier stall to buy a t-shirt. Wanted to buy the red and black one but there was only XL so bought a black t-shirt instead to replace the one I lost. Bought a polo tee and signed on it to give it to our instructor. Had a de-brief and bade farewell to the instructors, the island... Quite reluctant to go. Took a boat back to Singapore. Went home to soak myself in the toilet before going out to have lunch. After lunch, went to see the doctor about my rash. I didnt noe they charged double because of public holiday. Wat shit can. The doctor dunno anything one lor, touch my leg, see here see there, $25! Plus medicine, $41!!! Wah lao. Went home to sleep. Around dinner time, went to my grandparents house. I was half asleep while watching toy story. hahas. Went home to unpack my stuff before watching Amazing race. The episode was really amazing cos the 'hippies' won and mojo got eliminated! Final episode. So exciting. Cannot wait to watch. Got a feeling tat Eric and Jeremy will win. After watching, went back to my room to sleep. I am so tired.
OBS was really fun and memorable. Some activities were toturing but I had lots of fun and made new friends. I am black now cos of the sun. hahas. I didnt regret going to OBS afterall. :D

Watched polling results until past midnight yesterday. Almost all the seats were won by PAP which is kinda predictable. I was waiting to hear the results for potong pasir and hougang cos the competition is really tough there. I think they had to keep recounting the votes for potong pasir cos they took a long time to announce the results which my dad said which be among the first few. When they finally announced potong pasir's I was like screaming "POTONG PASIR!" waking my mum and sis up. hahas. Dashed up to my room after the results ended cos I was damn sleepy.
Tmr is OBS. Haiz... I am going to miss 1 week's of lesson. I wonder if I made the right choice... I wonder if I will have fun there... Packed all my stuffs today. Kept changing bags from small to big to small again. Haiz... I am excited and regretting it at the same time.

I FORGOT TO BRING BACK MY COTTON TWINE FOR OBS! I am so stupid!
Watched Amazing Race. My dad has been always supporting Fran and Barry but they got eliminated and so we are rooting for the 'hippies'. I don't really like mojo and the Eric and Jeremy cos they cancelled the 'hippies' and the other couple's taxis. So mean and HORRIBLE! The show was getting so exciting when the 'hippies' beat mojo to the yield and mojo had to stay there until the time is up. Serve them right! hahas. The detour was the one that made Yolanda team first and mojo caught up with the 'hippies' and Eric and Jeremy. Actually the 'hippies' were leading but they chose the wet route which was the wrong choice. The land route was much faster. haiz... In the end, 'hippies', Eric and Jeremy and mojo were arriving at the finishing line together. Everyone was running for their lives. In the end, the 'hippies' were the last as one of them had no shoes on. Luckily they were not eliminated but the all their things will be taken away except for their clothes. So poor thing but luckily they are still in the race. Next episode will be equally exciting!
Counting down to OBS. 3 more days. Haiz.. I am still having mixed feelings. Someone help me!

Today late-coming duty had 'good bussiness'. hahas. More than 20 people were late cos of the 76 bus that came late. Took quite long recording all their names down but I think Mrs Goh let them off cos it was 1 whole bunch of students late together plus a teacher! hahas.
Assembly was interesting today. About teenager's life during relationship. They were quite comical and I found it amusing when they came down to ask the teachers question. Mr Wong's answer was so out of point but it was damn funny. Nanyang Girls' uniform?! hahas. I think at the end, the 'reflection' can sing really well. I didn't really pay attention to the words in the song which was supposed to be meaningful.
Had NAPFA after school. It was supposed to be tmr but our school is used for polling day so tmr's NAPFA was postponed to the following monday but I will be going for obs for the whole week! haiz... Instead of NAPFA being postponed, it was brought forward. Started off with shuttle run, the 1 section that I am afraid of. 1st in line for Mr Gan's station. After shuttle run was sit-up. Quite slow moving at the sit-up station. After sit-up, we proceeded to the standing-board jump, another of the section I am afraid of. Went to Mr Lee's station cos Peiting said Mr Lee more leinent but I dun really think so. After stand-board jump was sit-and-reach. Every time I go down, my head will push the thing so Mrs Sushilla reacted quite weridly to it? My last station, Inclined-pull-up! Purposely went to queue up at Mrs Tan's station but she's quite strict, I realise. Got my gold this year again with all As except for standing-board jump.
Finished NAPFA earlier than expected. Went to help bring down the green house banner and keep all the props. After keeping everything, went to the tau huay shop with Estee. We were deciding whether to eat macs, tau huay or cup noodles. More like Estee took a long time deciding when I already made up my mind. Finally, we decided to eat tau huay and Estee will go home to eat somemore. hahas. I ate a bowl with syrup while Estee had a bowl with soya bean milk. I added another scoup of syrup and we started to discuss on "Sweet, Salty, Sour and Bitter". I like sweet things while Estee like salty things. Estee watched in disgust as I have spoonfuls of syrup. Estee, I like sweet things. I can't help it.:) We ate kinda fast and went home.
