Happy Teachers' Day!
Came to school early to mark out the soccer pitch on the field. But while measuring, it started to rain heavily. Jessica and I had to run for shelter. WET WEATHER PLAN! We were so hoping that it won't rain today but it did. Couldn't find balloons so we decided to have a mini soccer at the table tennis area. Cleared the tables and mark out the court for the game. Went to the hall for assembly, then prize presentation for the caring teachers award. We had aces day workout after Miss Choo's speech. It was quite shrewed cos we had to keep turning back to see the steps since we were facing the school. I made an announcement to the school, sec 1-4 who HAVE PARTICIPATED in the games later on... omg. So embarrassing larr. It should have been those who have signed up... haiz... Since it was drizzling and the players wanted to play in the hockey pitch, our game was outdoors instead. It was really fun to watch the matches. The teachers won the students: 3-0. Did aces day workout again after all the games. Cleared up everything before giving out presents to the teachers. This year, I managed to give out everything in such a short time. :) While waiting for Vivian, I was trying to dry my hair, socks and shoes. Being in the rain for the whole day, I was drenched from head to toe. Met Vivian at AMK before taking a cab to PL. We had lunch at the school's canteen, I really miss the food there. Went to Sheena, Slyvianne and Charis to say hi. They were like in shock and they said I grew taller, taller than Charis too! hahas. Met Xuezhen and Adeline, then my P6 Chinese teacher, Jamie, Yinxue, Cassandra, Moyi, Poh Ting and Penny. We went to watch the concert in the hall, went to the staff room to find teachers and walked around the school. The classroom changed quite alot, the P1 classrooms became like a childcare centre, with all the toys and even a place to play and sleep. WOW. Chatted and stayed at PL until 3pm. Went to Kovan to meet Miss Ng and Ziqin. We went to Hougang mall after that to chat at the foodcourt. Miss Ng treated us to desserts. We chatted for very long, all the memories started to pour out of my mind. haiz... I miss PL life. Went home at 5 plus, feeling so tired, happy and wet.
I wonder if I change alot cos some of my ex-classmates couldn't recognise me. And they were all trying to figure out what is a sports leader. Jamie is still as smart, topping her school ever since sec 1. Yinxue is still the same too, so bubbly and funny. I wonder how's Liling and Xinrui now.

PPR day. I am quite lost in thoughts seeing my results. Dazing through AM lesson today as well as free period. Art was slack today. I could even go down to visit the training twice. I guess I imagine too much cos my mum didn't go into a furious rage when I pass her my PPR. phew.
I am so excited to go back to PL tomorrow. I can't wait to see my P6 friends, my school, my teachers...

Back to school after camp. Still in the camping mood so was in a daze during lesson time.
Disected a pig's heart today for Biology! omg. Its so disgusting and it stinks! Its kinda fascinating to see all the valves and the tendenae is chao strong. The heart sure is big and tough and it was difficult to slice. Good experience.
I HATE MY SISTER TO THE CORE for now! SHE IS SO IRRITATING. I CAN'T STAND HER! SOMETIMES SHE REALLY GETS ONTO MY NERVE. AND I HATE IT ALOT ALOT!

I still cannot believe that I slept at 10.30pm all the way to 3.45pm today! WOW! I never slept so long after a camp before. Although I did wake up 3 times in the middle of the night cos I had diarrhoea. My day today was like in a daze. I am like floating around, didn't noe what I was doing and what I said. I guess I slept too long.

BACK FROM CAMP! I am so going to miss it. I am going to miss the place, the instructors especially Kai and SUPER 4!!! Its been such a great 3 days of camp together.

day 1: Went to the place with Estee. We checked our groups and frankly speaking, I didn't like my group cos the only people I'm close with is Ros and Steph, plus there's no squadmates. Anyway until everyone is settled down, we had ice-breakers with our instructor Kai and we did a group flag for SUPER 4! Outdoor cooking was fun but the noodles were salty. Taught FA with Chew and learnt Topography from Mijie. I like the team building and station games. Too bad, we didn't manage to entangle ourselves. Climbing the wall with help seems so easy. Archery's fun! I hit the target although it isn't bullseye. Shower time was crazy, not much time given. Bathe in the male toilet where the bathing area is open. hahas. good experience. After dinner, we had a leadership talk from both the instructor and the teacher. Singing session was so much fun! After supper and debrief, slept in the dorm. 2nd level was quite hot but gradually in the middle of the night, it became cold.

day 2: Woke up at 5 plus and the rest was still sleeping. After washing up, we had area cleaning, morning exercise then breakfast. Had a full breakfast before setting out for the expedition. In-charge of the expedition and so led the group on the journey. We made a wrong walk at the start but soon, we realised and started again. Walk Walk Walk without stopping. I was finding the direction and Ros did the bearing. 1 incident during the hike was being attacked by monkeys. 1 monkey actually clinged onto Vivien's bag and snatched the empty packet of skittles. Monkeys are terrifying. 2nd incident was Mijie trying to act us an injured causualty and we had to carry her down flights of stairs. Luckily it was Mijie and not the instructor, not like other groups. We managed to reach the tree top walk by 2.30pm. Took lots of pictures before taking a short cut back. We were cheering and Kai taught us a bimbotic cheer for our performance. Reached camp site safe and sound. Practised for the campfire performance before bathing. This time, I bathe in the female toilet and we were given 1 hour. After dinner was campfire! Lots of singing and cheering and laughter. Campfire was really fun and people were screaming at the top of their lungs. We performed our cheers. SUPER 4! After campfire was cca planning. Went for sports leader before going back to my cca. We planned for minicom and camp chief taught us many important points to note. Supper before sleep. We were all tired out from the near 30km walk from Bukit Timah to MacRitchie and so the sleep was so peaceful.

day 3: Woke up at 5 plus again. Did morning exercise, then breakfast, then area cleaning. We had lots of interaction among our group before area cleaning. Chew took videos of Kai doing the bimbotic dance SOLO. We gave him a pink shirt as a present so that he can dance in it. We did all our cheers including water cheer. It was prize presentation. Ros was best camper from our group. She had 4 votes while I had 3. Super Ros! We didn't expect to win anything looking at our score, but I think we were 1st although the prize was Best ... SUPER 4 has the X-factor and we gelled very fast together! :) Left the camp reluctantly with wonderful memories in my mind. We were the 2nd last to leave the campsite.
Went back for cca. We were teaching them all the cheers that we learnt from the camp. I was so tired cos I didn't sleep. Had activation and my very first time as casualty. Transportation ride was a roller coaster ride and they didn't noe how to treat me. I had shock and burns on both leg but apparently, they didn't realise. Sad. I am chao disappointed. Changing parade. The usual but time doesn't permit so we had to end before 6.30pm when cca is over.

I love this camp alot alot! I miss my group members. SUPER 4! Peace!
I didn't say anything.

Handover ceremony today. For the past 2 years, I never thought I would be a part of it. Standard procedure and I was quite shocked when what I received was a blue cone. Funny. We took lots of photos after that.
I was quite bored that I have to wait from 3.30pm to 4.10pm for my dental appointment after Chinese remedial. But when Wanzi told me that there was training, I got quite excited. However, training today was boring, all were doing footdrill. So left for dental and surprisingly, I saw those people whose dental appointments were at 3 plus still waiting. So basically, I waited until 5pm for my appointment. Not as bad as Regina who waited for 1hr.
Time passes really fast, the holidays are coming already. Good as well as a bad sign.

My lovely friday's mood was spoilt by Physics early in the morning then History and then English. I don't want my term 3's ppr! cos I can predict the future of it...
CCA was quite ok. I like the sj room more and more now since it suddenly looks so neat and clean and BIG. Announced minicom groupings today. I only managed to catch the last few groups since we were practising FA case before that. Watched footdrill format before doing the FA case for the 1st batch. I was so pissed that they were talking away instead of watching but I didn't say anything. Then we repeated the case again for the 2nd batch. This time they not only talked, they actually watched the people practising footdrill downstairs. So I just told them off. The 3rd batch was better since I told them beforehand about it. And the 4th batch was ok too. I can't believe we repeated the case for 4 times! Repeating every single thing! WOW! Its really tiring doing the same case over and over again. And the gloves are so small, took a really long time wearing them. But I guess FA wasn't as bad as nursing, repeating the whole chunk of notes on the different trolleys. Poor thing.

What happens when you have a mental block during a test? FREAK OUT! That's exactly what happened today during physics. haiz...
What I thought was just a boring camp breifing, turned out to be a long, quite interesting breifing. I just don't know why I'm not looking forward to this camp at all, like a camp smacked right in the middle of term 3. We had ice-breakers, weird for a breifing, but the game was quite fun. We lasted quite long, top 8! hahas.
What happened after lunch was spring cleaning of the sj room. It is chao filthy. So, we wanted to do something to the nursing cabinet. We shifted the whole thing out and got the things at the top down. And guess what, there is a MIRROR in this room! We wanted to get one but our imaginations just ran wild, so we screamed when we found the mirror. Anyway, painted the nursing cabinet silver and black. I tidied up the FA kits. And I have a shelf only for FA! Cool. But now I have to get rid of all the expired stuffs which is going to take a long time. Oh I didn't noe we had 2 picnic-like tables and chairs. So cool. So cleaned out the room until 6 plus before going home.
Went to the doctor again, since my cough isn't healing. The new cough medicine is so strong, mint and sour. I can't wait for tomorrow, cos tomorrow's friday! TGIF!

Bio test was so funny. I guess the answers that I give for some questions are really way out of point. Calcium and Mineral??? Anyway, the test was quite short. I was shocked that I finished the last page at around 3.10pm. Before the Bio test, I was like able to memorise almost everything from the textbook but I guess it wasn't that helpful for the test.
I am so dead for my Chinese! So basically, I calculated that my Chinese will get C5 for ppr unless I pass tomorrow's test. If I don't, I'm DEAD! My mum will be nagging and I already have Chinese tuition...I don't want anymore! and so, I pray hard that I WILL pass with flying colours tomorrow.
I'm rushing art now. Its another subject that will be in my ppr. So I have to do well for it. But I guess I won't with my UGLY monoprints. I have no time to redo. haiz... So I'm gaining more marks for the OTHERS section.

The last flag day I had was in Sec 1 and now its here again this year. Leading a group, our destination was Bugis. Instead of taking MRT to AMK, we took to Yio Chu Kang and didn't get stuck in the crowd at AMK (which Huiying and Wanzi did). It was quite a journey to Bugis from school and so we wasted 1 hour for travelling. Everywhere we see SJ people, holding their tins and asking for donations. So dispersed our group and Kelly and I went around to a place with no SJ people. We situated ourselves beside a fruit juice stall and at the entrance of the stretch of shops. Then came the Nanyang girls. They can talk pretty well and alot. So basically we were at that area until 11.30am when we went for lunch at Seiyu. Ate with the Sec 2s at the food court before leaving with Kelly at 12.15pm to continue our flag day at that same spot. We got tired doing at the same spot, so met up with the rest at 1pm before proceeding to the taxi stand. Once someone alight from a taxi, we will rush to the person for donation. Quite a smart move cos we collected a lot of money by doing this. I guess Kelly and I collected quite alot of money compared to the Sec 1s. They are so different from us when we were in Sec 1, they are so NOT enthu in collecting money. We left Bugis at 1.45pm and met with the rest at City Hall. Took attendance before going to hq. At hq, we couldn't find the zone 1 collection room so waited and waited. When we managed to get the room, we had to seal the tins and place them in the correct order according to the serial no. That took time too. My dad came to fetch me and in the end, 5 of us squeezed at the back of the car and 1 in front. I was seating on Olivia's lap and it wasn't that comfortable for me and for her. Too bad the journey was long from hq to Yio Chu Kang MRT station. The car ride was so nosiy, filled with laughter. What can you expect when 6 of us are all in 1 car?
Anyway, today is jie da huan xi last episode. I love today's episode. The good won the bad! and I so love the ending. It is chao funny! This show is really nice to watch. :)

Ice-skating again today. Maybe cos I'm sick and cos of ahem, I was so bored today. Didn't managed to get back my ice-skating skills that I had on Monday and so I am a beginner again. There's something wrong with my skates today, the shoelace kept dropping out. haiz... I was so tired skating around, my back aches badly and I wanted to rest and skip the whole ice-skating. Didn't eat today cos I wasn't hungry, I wanted to save money and cos I'm sick! Oh, I fell down once today, I shouldn't have joined them. Took lots of pictures, class and squad. The bus seats were so comfortable that I slept throughout my return journey to school. And that's the end of the enrichment week. :(
CCA allowed me to talk a little better. Nat and I walked around the track to discuss what to talk to the juniors during housekeeping. There were so many things we wanted to say. PT was long again and I was watching the netball match. Brings back memories. Housekeeping time. When it came to our turn, I forgot what to say and so, said very little. Activation! My very first activation that I planned! It was quite messy and I was able to shout. 4 people were dead, so sad. And the sec 1s CPR cannot make it! I am so disappointed. Their practical is coming soon and I am worried for them. haiz... Tomorrow's flag day. Last last year went to Kovan but this year I have to go to Bugis. Kinda tired and dun feel like going tomorrow.

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!
My relatives came over to my house for dinner and to celebrate both my dad's and Singapore's birthday. My mum made all of us wear RED and WHITE. I couldn't find a WHITE shorts so wore a purple one instead. RED and PURPLE? hmmm. Anyway, tonight's dinner was a feast and we gathered infront of the TV to watch the parade. We managed to see the fighter jets but couldn't see the fireworks from our house although we live at the 17th storey. Actually I don't really see what is so grand about this year's parade, its about the same ever year. Played with my cousins 'MONKEY', chao fun and it brings back memories. My uncle bought a chao small mango cake, while his birthday, we got him a HUGE chocolate cake. hahas. But the cake was really nice.
Today is so unproductive. I should have completed studying Biology but I couldn't control myself. haiz... I hope I can finish both Biology and Physics tmr. Stupid me forgot to bring home my AM textbook and now, I can't do my homework.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SINGAPORE! I'm 1 day ahead...
Celebrating the nation's birthday together in school wasn't as fun as this year. In Primary, I would be squashed up on the specs stand feeling hot and tired. But this year is different. We are the GOH and I got to stand on the field and march for the school. I don't noe what is so funny but everytime we do a move, the school will laugh. whatever. Thankfully the speeches were all very short and we did not have to stand still for a long time. I think our armswings wasn't neat, not like the rehearsal. Maybe cos the surrounding noise was chao loud and we couldn't hear the timing. Wells, instead of being with our classes, I got to stay in the SJ room for a while, to cool down and rest. And together as a squad we sang the songs with GUSTO! It was really fun and memorable. I like celebrations like this. Although our class didn't win the fancy dress competition, we won 3rd for the class decoration contest! Kit-kats for everyone! :)
After the celebrations, had a meeting on teachers' day celebrations before going J8 with Debbie for lunch. We took a long time deciding where to eat, actually I was the fussy one. And finally we settled for food court but again I took a long time deciding what to eat. After eating, we went shopping for my dad's birthday present. We took a long time deciding on that too. After everything, we went home. With no one at home, I watched a bit of cartoon and fell asleep on the sofa. While Debbie is busy preparing for her 5.30 tuition, I am fast asleep!
Went to watch Singapore Idol live today. The crowd is so huge. We went to mediacorp at 6.45pm although the show starts at 8pm. Entered the theatre, the stage seems so much bigger on TV. Couldn't find our seats so the usher gave us temporary seats which are facing directly at the stage. When the usher found our seats, we realised that they were corner seats which you can only see half the stage. So uselesss! So, we slipped out of our seats and went back to our temporary seats which had a so much better view. Lucky for us, the people having the seats tickets did not come and so we could enjoy ourselves seeing a clearer picture of the show. Met the Idols and Judges and Emcees in person! Slowly as songs went by, I realised it was getting more and more boring. Haiz... I was about to sleep with the music playing. Anyway, be sure to catch Singapore Idol tmr and try to spot me on TV, although I don't think you can cos I'm all the way at the back! :)

Ice skating is really fun. Suddenly when I remebered how I first started out, I was screaming and confirming that I will fall soon, it is really embarrassing. I don't consider myself as a pro but I managed to do it! WOW! and I only fell at the last 35 mins of ice skating. And it was really embarrassing. I fell on my knees, picked myself up and fell again. haiz... Waner can somemore say that she didn't see me fall, she HEARD me. hahas. I like skating with a friend, I can't skate alone. I need a support to go fast. Anyway, I don't really like the skates cos it is really tight and it cuts my leg. PAINFUL! I love enrichment! I want to do this everyday. hahas. DREAM ON.
Chinese remedial is quite useless. She went through compo which I spent so much time doing. Then we were dismissed early AGAIN. Parade practice! They kept changing the format but SNSJ rocks! We adapted pretty fast! Even Mr Choo was IMPRESSED! hahas. After the parade, we had squad interaction. I guess its pretty good to have a time where we could all sit together to chat. It clears our doubts, misunderstandings... and discuss more stuffs to benefit SNSJ.

sometimes things just isn't easy to swallow

this is UNFAIR. UNFAIR i say.
why do ur get to do things that we don't.
we started out the same, EXACTLY the same.
i don't consider ur superior than me.
i am not jealous,
i just want to speak my mind,
why do ur treat us differently?
so im going to side the 'commoners' cos im one too
and ur will see
its no big deal to be able to rule.
i want to go back when all were treated equally
cos it is really heart breaking to see
that even mankind has its own level of power.
WHY r ur like that?
WHO gave your the power to make decisions?

now if u ask me what im talking about, or even try to guess it,
i wont say a single word
cos its a secret.
i am relieved i said it out, if not it will be bugging me.
my apologies for being frank.
