its already mid Dec 09!

today's finally the last day the bio labs are open which means that no more ee experiments to do for the year! this holidays really dont feel like a holiday to me at all since i have been going back to school so frequently to do my ee :/ but well, its my choice to do bio ee and i expected this so no complains! :D Though its really tiring spending the whole day from morning till evening doing all the experiments, but i really feel that i've learnt alot through this whole ee experience heehee(:

how fast time flies, we're already in mid Dec and that means sch's gonna reopen again & we're officially into year 6! i really promise i'd work harder, much harder than this year. ^^ it really stresses me to know that some of my friends are actually always studying/doing work even though its the hols :/

anyways despite all the work i have to do, i still have fun! (before next year arrives haha) for eg, i really dont regret signing up for the NUS science focus! its really interesting, esp the lectures on the first day about Parkinson's disease and forensic science! It let us learn alot of things which surely cant be found in our textbooks! however there were some modules which were slightly more boring :/ but overall, i felt that it was awesome! :D

oh yeah some time in 27 Nov our whole family went for a picnic in ECP! it was really fun as we took many many pictures and also went cycling etc hahaha. but it kinda started to rain a little so we went back early! :( hehe so jiejie, ty and i decided to go shopping instead haha.

shopping is a must during hols! ((: i think i've really gone out quite several times already so in late nov, jiejie and i actually were already spending our dec expenses hahaha omg :/ so we always tell ourselves we must save money hahaha, & we do try okay :D

& as usual, i would be like addicted to the tv for my HK dramas!!!!! hahaha i think till now i have watched 3 serial shows already for this hols hehe. omg its really nice, love HK dramas to the max heeeeeeeeeeee :DDDDDDD the most recent one was "gong xin ji"! omggg the scheming ppl inside are so so so annoying. but through this show, now i always try to remind myself to be like san ho & speak kind words, do kind deeds and spread kindness! (:

anyway CHRISTMAS's coming! i love the christmas season cause we get to go shop for gifts for ourselves & others (though its really frustrating to crack our brains and think of something that they would like haha). other than that, its really great! (:

everyone else are flying everywhere which makes me so envious! but its okay, i should be content & satisfied having my family & besties around me this festive season x333

we got over promos!

i suddenly feel like writing a post today because im utterly bored now lol. PROMOS ARE ACTUALLY OVER haha it seems so unbelievable to me because it does not feel like im in here for almost a year already! i really dont look forward to becoming a year 6 so soon. throughout these few weeks, i've really studied pretty hard & all i can do now is to commit them all to God even though i know im going to do badly for some papers. for eg. math's gonna be my worst subject. math p2 was so tough i knew its gonna be bad so my promos kinda ended on a bad paper, which is why some of us couldn't help it but cried. :(

we really had no mood to go with the rest of the class for outing so the few of us went out ourselves & we ate ice-cream to cheer up! yay i had my fav choc ice-cream ^^ we then went to watch 2 funny shows at alex's house. (:

i really love my cca mates <3 we even planned for a stayover on that very last day of exams itself haha so i went over to meet them for dinner before going to su-lynn's house. our stayover was the BOOMZ (hahaha!) cause it was really nice. :D sometimes i actually feel that im closer to my cca friends than classmates, i really wonder why. =((

we watched shows (which i fell aslp for half the show) & i got a shock cause when i woke up and open my eyes, shaun was looking at me! haha then i said him for scaring me lol. ohh and some of them played chubby bunny which was REALLY FUNNY omg kris took a video of it hahaha. just by looking at how they stuff the marshmallows into their mouths, they looked so poor thing i really pity them hahaha.

we also played some card + drinking game. no worries, it wasn't gambling and neither was it drinking alcohol hahaha. we used water instead, so all of us were really BLOATED with water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think throughout the game, the taboo thing was the one which made many of them have to drink cups of water hahahaha. well, ernest and i took turns to get the taboo card so we tried to be funny. my taboo was that we cannot say the word "water" while his taboo was that our own hands cannot touch each other.

it was SUPER AMUSING AND FUNNY!!! hahaha cause as our forfeit was to drink water, so it was very likely to use the word water! and some of them like amos, dennis, su-lynn, dexter etc always accidentally use the word and each time someone says that word, all of us will laugh really hard cause its super funnyyyy omg :DD oh and kris got so excited cause someone said the word that she clapped hands so she had the forfeit too! HAHA seriously, ytd was so hilarious (:

we also played truth or dare for superrrrrr long and we made ppl do stupid things & also found out ppl's secrets hahaha. quite a fun bonding session for all of us ^^ all the girls + shaun woo + victor couldnt take it so we went to sleep haha. think it was about 3 plus already! then the rest of the guys continued watching other shows and according to them, they had a 3h gossip session w/o us! hahaha.

this morning after brunch we went over to dennis's house to play hahaha. oh oh and he showed kris and i this super annoying "impossible Japanese game". omg its like some mario game but there are so many traps and stuff they make it impossible for you to win ahahha so the character keeps losing its lives. and this game we could have as many negative lives as we want cause its so impossible to accomplish! omg kris and i got so frustrated with it we kept screaming each time we get tricked hahaha.

so i guess this band outing + stayover really helped to let me get over Thursday's horrific paper. :DD oh and i really miss the 7 flowers! thurs was such a qiao day cause i was initially on the phone with joey and i saw swee at the bus stop near her sch! hahaha i was so surprised i shouted to joey:"omggg!! i see ng sweechen!! " hahahaha (: and she was actually on her way to linda's house! and after meeting kris and the rest for dinner, we also met qian!!! all of us were to excited! such a coincidence rights haha :D all of us really connect (though we didn't meet wendy) awww we are really fated to meet <3

even though most of us are in diff schools now, i still feel the most comfortable and myself with them, so i really really appreciate this strong friendship we all share! <33

17th birthday updates (:

I just suddenly have the urge of updating now. (: how fast time flies, we're already into the third term of school and common tests are already over! i must say im not very prepared for the CTs cause it began on the first day of sch after june holidays! and besides, i was in a post-wow mood and i cant focus much. )):

however im really glad i never fail any of my subjects though i expected myself to fail probably chem cause it was really quite a killer paper cause i really had no time to finish the paper. i really panicked! oh wells, lets not dwell too much because the most important thing now is to BE MORE FOCUSED. yes, kris and I already decided we shall not be distracted anymore. ^^

oh btw, I REALLY ENJOYED MY 17th BIRTHDAY THIS YEAR. <3

it was really awesome thanks to the many different surprises i had. firstly, for the first time, it was on an exam day (econs), so i thought my classmates probably won't celebrate or anything because we all needa go home and study! and so, after the paper, i really almost just left the school and head off already cause i needed to go to holland v to get my own birthday cake haha.

and thanks to my sense of directions (as usual), i had no idea what bus would lead me there so i decided to head back to school and see if i can find anyone i know to ask for directions lol. and then i happen to see isaac and the rest and they asked me to join them for lunch in sac. so yup i went along and they actually bought a cake! awww. xD i was very surprised indeed hahaha.

yup so we kinda sat there and chilled for awhile while eating the chocolate cake! ((:

it would be funny if they realised that i left school alreaady hahaha, cause i was un-contactable then as my phone was spoilt. oh ruyi and kris also surprised me early in the morning and sang the cgs-style of happy birthday! hahaha :D they both did some gifts for me despite the already lack of time to study! i pieced ruyi's hand-drawn jigsaw puzzle already, she really put in quite some effort drawing haha thanks so muchh to you both!

as he promised, victor really got me a book!! hahaha oh and most of the bandits wrote their messages in the card for me ((: yes i shalln't fail him and i will read the book soon haha. oh yeah and they had a belated celebration for me when we went for band dinner at nydc. so they treated me and last min got a slice of cake and we all shared! lol ^^

the seven flowers also gave me a surprise right at my house! they came over on a saturday and even jie took part in the planning haha. yesss they got me a secret recipe chocolate cake! :D loves chocolate cakes hahaha. then mummy ordered pizzas and lots of drumlets, so joey was so jealous of that cause its her fav and she wasn't here ahahah. they gave me a hearty bag and many random stuffs which is so filled of hearts (and pink!), like the hp strap, pencil case, book, pencil chopsticks! really loved them so im already using the bag and the strap hehhs. :D

annoying swee kept insisting its so aa after giving it to me! hahaha. but its okay, i really like it can already (: thanks so much fellow flowers <3

oh yes, i wont forget jiejie's & tseyin's surprise for me! they actually met up after sch to go get a last min bracelet for me, and i was like sms-ing cousin t the whole time without knowing it! and the prettyyy board jiejie made for me! its so my style hahaha. :D

thanks so much for this wonderful and memorable 17th birthday loves! <33

stress starts coming

these few weeks are really gonna be busy and stressful cause suddenly everything just seems to come at the same time. Maths tests, econs tests, bio test, chi test, chem test, eng mock iop, econs short film, bio ia, chem ia, band syf ( this week im like having band practises from mon-sun except for friday), chi oral and my group is the first group which is tmr!

aiya cant rmb anything else more, but its really already a whole list of things for me to do! sighh, so i really hate wasting time now and to just print out the chi oral script took me more than 40 min and its still not printed out yet. you can imagine how irritated im with this thinggyyy! & daddy just dont understand how im feeling & he just scolded me for being so impatient with things. ):

really hope these few weeks pass quickly and give me some time to de-stress.

brand new start (:

yesterday was the first day of school, the first day im in a co-ed school after 10 years of all girls environment! :D hmms, i was excited yet worried for school! esp for the fact that there are very little girls in the school. my OG only have 7 girls out of 25 people! :/

luckily all the girls are very friendly so we got along rather well :DD i think i know less than half the guys lol. so these 2 days were orientation and it would go on till next week! its been really fun with all the games, telematches, cheers & mass dance we had, but some talks were a little bit boring haha.

kris, ruyi, shixuan and i were all in diff orientation grps!!! :( but we would still meet up for lunch and recess breaks hahaha :D afterall, its still more comfortable now to be with friends we know for very long :)

oh i rmb the skit by some leaders were really so hilarious! (though i didn't get some jokes -.-) the telematches were also fun, and i realise the benefit of being a girl there now hahaha. cause we had to use a straw and insert a pea then blow it hard to break through a paper, and we also had to put a spoon in our mouths and balance the tennis ball on it and walk on. BUT right, there was only ONE straw and TWO spoons, so for our benefit, the girls were allowed to go first so we won't use so dirty straw and spoons hahahaha :D

the cheering session was shocking i should say hahaha. we felt like the guys were ready to go for a war!!! LOL. they all had arms over each other and would somehow move forward when they compete cheering with other groups.

today's wet games were crazy too! the "breakfast twister" was something diff we experienced! oh and the socks game was even more crazy! the girls from another OG was so violent! it felt like a girls fight hahahaha. cause we were supposed to snatch other's socks so that they would be out of the game. there were like so many attacking one.

the boys part was chaotic!!! LOL. they really chiong to snatch their socks hahahaha. they were like rolling over each other just to get their hands on the socks! but it was fun also lahs heheh :D

then the mine game and water bombs were quite ok too ((: but at the end of the day my shorts and abit of shirt were like wet and i could feel soapy feeling cause of the snatch the socks game!!! :X

actually i feel quite excited for school again! HAHAHA :D i think im beginning to like the school ;)
ACSI ALL THE WAY! xD

BEN'S 11th PARTY!

After so many days of consideration, i've finally made up my mind! :D had about an hour's talk with royston kor kor on the phone, and he gave me pretty much advice. he also made me realise that education is just like climbing a mountain, & now im only finding my mountain and i still have a long way to go before reaching the peak. For my results from O's, i could perhaps only climb Mount Faber! so i really got to work hard! (:

even though some schools may be far, but i shall just find fun in travelling! hahaha. anyways like what Ms Tan said, no JC is too far in Singapore. so im sure i can adapt to it =D the 3rd choice really made me hesitate very long, because it was between ACSI and NJC. in terms of distance, both are about the same, but the main problem is the difference between IB and A levels! i really had no idea how to choose.

royston kor kor also did some research on IB for me which i found it rather useful cause im not very clear about it either. i feel that its really tougher than A levels because its like a more rounded education. it don't only focus on books and syllabus, but it better prepares the students for education in uni. furthermore, the cohort last year did so well which proves that the system works :D & RJ is going to have IB soon too, so i guess that IB really does assures good results. they even had an average aggregate of 40.1! so yup, that's why i dont mind giving it a try :D

tadaaaa, here goes my choices! HC, RJ, ACSI, NJC, ACJC, SA, VJ, CJ, AJ, JJC, SP, NP! (:

today was pretty much fun yet tiring! we had benben's birthday celebration at aunt janice's house! :D jiejie & I went over early to do the deco & prepare the things we would need for the games we planned for the kids. tying the balloons was so tedious!!! we both do till our hands so painful! but well, its for our cute little brother! hahahah :D oh oh & i must say, while drawing on the balloons, it burst!!! it frightened me and it was so troublesome cause we had to untie those strings again and tie in another new one :(

Edwin helped us take things cause we both were too lazy to go downstairs to take lol =X

TADAA! after so much hard work! :D

yays! ((:

Played games like musical chairs, scavenger hunt, stepping of balloons, water & land with the kids & its really tough. children of all ages was hard enough to coordinate and plus alot of ppl talking made the whole place so noisy & we cant give instructions clearly. :( but luckily, the games still managed to carry on somehow hahaha :D

Presenting the pics when cutting cake! =))

benben's special request! chocolate cake with bananas from secret recipe (:

we find that benben's way of smiling is not counted smiling.. so...

jiejie helped! yupp thats smiling hahaha!:D

there he goes again, with that smile

HAHAHA. this looks better :D

benben with cousins! (not all though)

okay the help here don't really work lol

Next up, we had the PINATA for finale! xD yup though it was not cheap, but its an experience all the kids gained! :D i felt that i was like a person handling a funfair stall which is the whacking of pinata! cause i had to explain the rules, and help blindfold them one by one when its their turn, then turn them around and lead them to the place to start hitting hahahha.

really very fun cause all the kids and adults gathered there too :DD even yeye went to try to whack! he's so funny la hahaha! its something new cause i believe many of them have not seen such pinata before lol =) so after many whacks, guess who managed to break it!

Ryan! he whacked it open! :D

Through this pinata game, it made me realise the importance of having a goal in life. when we're blindfolded, we dunno where is our target. so even if we use our strongest force, we are charging forward aimlessly and it may even end up achieving nothing, and not a single hit. Whereas when they were not blindfolded on their second and third tries, they could aim for their target and eventually successfully hit till the candies were free for all to grab!

If you ask me now, i really am not sure of my own goal. since young, popo always asked me wad i wanna be in future. but she only gave me 3 choices: teacher, lawyer or doctor. so i chose to be a doctor. However since i like to be happy, the only happy part of a hospital would be where babies are born! :D hence since then i wanted to be a doctor who looks after the babies, or perhaps a gynaecologist. But is that really my interest? its time for me to consider it carefully. (:

difficult choice.

sighs, im really very frustrated over the whole JAE thing cause i cannot make up my mind to choose the schools. yes, though there are schools im more interested in, but it happens so that im at the borderline and im not sure i would be able to get in. so well, these 2 days, i've been to HCJC, ACJC, ACSI, RJC, NJC. i've seen SA too :)

in my opinion, firstly i dun think that ACJC is suitable for me cause somehow i dont quite like it. HC is very homely, which is great, but i may not be able to get in either cause there are only 150 places available. :( oh HC and RJ the feng very strong too hahahhaah! (inside joke! :D)

RJ is really very big and everything just seem so new :D the only bad thing is that its rather far from home, so transport makes a slight problem here.. furthermore the cut off is also 3. i was initially worried that it might be quite difficult for me to fit in cause im not from the raffles family. but the tour guides today were from SCGS so they said that in the beginning perhaps have, like during orientation. but after awhile it would still be fine cause the people are welcoming too. :D

ACSI is great too but the only concern is taking IB or A levels is better. its not that far too so its convenient :D oh ya and i only realised it ytd that im actually eligible for the edusave scholarship! so if i wanna go independent schools, its fine too cause the fees wont be that ex. yay :D

thanks to yuexi for bringing us around NJ today! cause its not open house actually haha, just that we wanted to see the school environment etc. but honestly, i feel that perhaps its not so good cause of the over-population. so im afraid those container classrooms might not be so conducive to study though i din see those classrooms. so im quite disappointed cause i have been aiming for NJ too.

anyway, im still very confused. however like what yuexi said, i should follow my heart and eventually there would be happiness wherever im. :D

i've been listening to the song "yong qi" cause right now, i really need the courage to make my own decision which i must not regret. (:

O levels results released

12 jan 09 finally arrived, the day that O levels results are released. the anxiety in the hall was not as much as those i felt last year, maybe im more experienced tat explains why. anyways super congrats to jesselyn and stephanie!!! they did our class and school so so proud :DDDD

really thankful to those who smsed me and gave me support to get my results! :D ppl like bedok green, gessy, aunt sharon and sandra, tracy, daniel, samantha, pearlyn, yuqi, felicia, ruiqi :))) oh and jie's friends, zhenzhen & jiahao. how nice of them to rmb! hope i din miss out anyone hahaha. xD and of course daddy and mummy who were as anxious as i was too :D & last but not least jiejie and biujie! they even came to my school to collect results with me (: it was the best excuse for jie to skip school lol!

so yup, jie and biujie accompanied me the whole day and we went out shopping too :) really initially, i was rather disappointed with my results because i didn't get the perfect score, my sciences actually did poorer than my humanities (which was not expected) and so, my sciences had A2. yeah so i cried abit but thankfully they were there to console me and biujie prepared tissue beforehand hahahaha.

though everyone said that my results were very good already, but somehow i felt rather upset that i didn't manage to achieve my own target score.. lol so according to biujie & jiejie, i "emo-ed the whole day". well im fine now! must be cause they treated me to warm chocolate cake and other desserts (which i cant rmb the names) at bakerzin @ vivo hahahhaa. :D i stoned all the way home on the bus and i din really shop cause my whole mind was about results today.

finally, im also sincerely thankful to all my family, friends, teachers, seniors & juniors! without my family's support, friends' encouragement, teachers' perserverance, seniors' and juniors' care and concern, i would surely not be able to hang on so long & eventually finished the O levels with quite okay results! :D so after one whole day, im finally willing to accept my results because its no point getting all upset about it now. i did my best and that is it :D

so as we all move on to our own paths, i will really really miss crescent! :(

anxious

Tmr is the day we have all been waiting for, & im really very anxious!!! Cant wait for tmr to come, yet im afraid of the results i see. Really hope that i won't disappoint anyone esp mummy and daddy! Bless me! :D
