MOVED!
Please ask me for the new add, cos I don't want too many people to know. I don't really want to move, but an incident left me with no choice. I really like this lj account, but ah wells. I'm not deleting this though, cos I like to read through old entries. I just won't be updating here anymore.

I'm moving my site, but now I can't think of any names. I'm not really comfortable with other people reading my journal so for now, it's set to Friends Only, until I think of a suitable name. Do add me if you want to read, and i'll add you back. :D |

If anyone is wondering how my plant is doing, the one I have on my school desk which I brought home cos there's no one to take care of it during the March holidays, it's doing fine! And it's growing! (See samantha, it didn't die!) A leave fell off from Dick though. Yes, my plants have names. They're Tom, Dick and Harry. And the little small stalk is Bob. HAHAHA.
Alright I just got back from chemistry tuition and I have a headacheeeee! Suckzzz.Tuition's more fun now, since I have people to talk to. Heh. My holidays (or break to be exact. but there's still cca!) are so boring, I swear. All I do is go for dance and come home. I have a lot of catching up to do for dance, since I've missed too much due to drama. My drama camp's coming up, and that's going to take up some more time. Ugh.
So today Mum and I went to Arab Street to do a little bit of shopping at Haji Lane. I bought this really cute pouch and a new bag. HEH HEH HEH. Then we went to Alawali (sp?) Lane to find the costume shop and I finally bought my victorian umbrella! Yessss. I rented a wig and lace gloves too. The shop is super cool, they have like EVERYTHING. Heh. Did I mention I'm so into oldies music now? Like Pat Benatar's Love is a Battlefield. Hahaha. My mum and I now share a common taste in music. :D
I really feel this song expresses how I feel :
I tried to be perfect
but nothing was worth it.
I don't believe it makes me real.
I thought it'd be easy
but no one believes me.
I meant all the things I said.
If you'd believe it's in my soul,
I'd say all the words that I know
just to see if it would show
that I'm trying to let you know
that I'm better off on my own.
ALRIGHT, the headache is getting to me. NIGHT!

Ryan and cousin Jeanine's wedding was really beautiful, right from the church celebration at Holy Family to the wedding dinner at Grand Copthorne Hotel. I ate so much, I had trouble getting off my seat. Haha okay no lah. But yeah, the food was splendid. And I got to see relatives I haven't seen in eons. Like my cousins Georgia and Harvey from England. The last time I saw them, Harvey was still crying and crawling but now he's a big boy, almost as tall as his sister. And Georgia's still pretty as ever. Relatives even came down from England, Dubai, Malaysia, you name it. So I guess it was a special night for my cousin and her husband. :D
Alright, pictures!! There's just so many...
Starting with Holy Family Church.
We went home to rest first, then headed to Grand Copthorne Hotel for the dinner.
Receptionists!
That was the last of it! Phew. Okay I'm going to attempt to complete alllll my homework. Buhbye.
CONGRATULATIONS RYAN AND JEANINE! |

Gooood eveningzzz. Today I was reading a magazine while I was getting my hair done (It's straight now, FINALLY!) and I came across this, "We are all human and it's hard not to get affected by criticism. But it's up to you to not let it take hold of you. And this boils back to confidence, self-esteem, and self-image." I think it's really true. Heh, so now make fun of my frizzy hair all you want!! I DON'T CARE. :D
Okay so today was the last day of school. Holidays! But for me it won't really be a holiday. Monday-wednesday I have dance and then wednesday-thursday I have drama camp. Ugh. And amongst this I have to find time to go out with my girlfriends to the beach, and also with Ryan, and also with Diniy. Diniy owes me GELARE! Nevermind, it can be done! And I also promised to study this holiday. No, really!
I'm so happy I got my hair done. Hehehe. I felt like I was in China when I was at the hairdresser's. They were playing cheena songs (which all sounded the same to me) and speaking cheena language. I was lossttttt!
Oh today was Ms. Tan's last day with us. And also Miss. Loh's. Miss. Loh's been really great to us drama girls, and also helped us during dance syf, A LOT. Ms .Tan has been our form teacher since last year! It's really sad. ):
Buuuuttt...just like Ms. Tan said "Life is about people coming and going, giving and taking."
Sigh. On a brighter side, tomorrow's my cousin's wedding at Holy Family Church! I'm excited to be a receptionist. Hehehehe. |

I'm thinking that my Malay mid year wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was do-able actually. Exam ended at 12, after which we had a 45 minute lunch break and then it was back to lessons. But since alex, liz and I have made the very wise decision to drop amaths, it left us free to do anything. Soooo, we left school and walked (yes, walked) to Eastpoint for our Mr. Bean ice cream!
And now I have a backache due to my heavy backpack due to my malay dictionary due to my malay exam.
Now that was a mouthful! And what is with the Singapore weather now? It's freeeezing! Sheesh, I feel like we're experiencing winter. Which is actually quite a good thing because WE DON'T HAVE FOUR SEASONS. It's only rain or shine. Dammit.
Okay I'm going to have my mango now. Goodnight!!
I would be lying if I said you don't cross my mind. |

Gosh, I love this song! And I think Olivia Newton John is such a beautiful woman, and her voice, POWEERRRR!
Guess mine is not the first heart broken,
my eyes are not the first to cry I'm not the first to know,
there's just no gettin' over you
Hello, I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around
and wait for you
But baby can't you see, there's nothin' else
for me to do I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide,
since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head,
hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you,
hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying "fool, forget him",
my heart is saying "don't let go"
Hold on to the end, that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide,
since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head,
hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you,
hopelessly devoted to you.

I didn't go to school today, but I went for the Career and Education Fair. And I think I finally know what I want to do in the future! I'm thinking maybe a Bachelor in Journalism or Bachelor in Mass Communications in Murdoch University. And I also want to study in London! I fell in love with Cambridge when I went there in December and I would love to study there, really.
ISN'T IT JUST SO BEEEAAAUUUTIFUUUULL??!!!!
The winter there is a problem though, I nearly froze to death when I was there!
Anyway, back to today. I went to Marina Square with Liz and Alex after the fair, to have lunch and buy Shakeela's present. Ohgosh, I ended up buying myself another necklace from Diva. I just couldn't resist!!!! My mum says I can't go to Diva. HAHA. I inherited her 'shopping curse'. When I see something I like, I HAVE to get it or else I'll keep thinking about it, and I won't be able to sleep! Hahaha. Oh, and we bought friendship bracelets. I really am broke.
We trained home, and Alex and I got off at Tanah Merah and walked home. Well, at least I saved money on bus fare! :D

I am officially broke after giving Geraldine $23 to help me buy the Twilight book. This is a disaster.
I really hope that Mas Selamat gets caught very soon. I am shocked that a JI member could actually escape from a Singapore detention centre. I mean, it's SINGAPORE for crying out loud. What ever happened to our high security??
I find Samantha very hilarious. Today, she pointed to a word on the board and asked me "How do you pronounce that word?" The word was competitiveness. I said "COM-PE-TI-TIVE-NESS". And Samantha went "Compettiitiiiness.." HAHAHA, she cannot say it for nuts. (Itzokeh, I still luurrrveee youuuu.)
I don't feeling like going to school tomorrow cos I see no point in going for mass, when I don't even participate. I'd rather sleep at home, I need some beauty sleep. Heeheeeheee. But seriously, it's half day tmr and it's only mass, wasting time!
Okay now I'm going to put a spoon in the fridge, then take it out and treat my eyebags. I look like a goldfish now.

I think I'm becoming more optimistic with each day that passes by. Heh. And I think I'm starting to see the little pleasures in life that can make you vair vair happy. For example, the people you choose to spend your time with can make all the difference. I'm starting to take school work seriously too. And I'm starting to live for tuesdays and thursdays, because my Drama classmates are just a ball of fun. I always laugh my ass off when I'm with them.
My new top, the one I ordered online, has arrived! Thank God, I was starting to think that I got cheated. HAHA.

Secondary 4.7, Day 3 of Camp Corri 2008.
CAMP CORRI 2008, DAY 2 & 3
Camp is finally over. The last two days were about the same, the same routine of meeting alex in the morning, then lectures and stuff. On day 2, we mostly did prepartion for our presentation of our business proposal. I looove the poster we did, it turned out really nice. Heh heh. During lunch, it was the same routine again. Cameras pointed at me! I think I have the most unglam moments. Now i'm praying that no one is mean enough to upload the pictures, because I'm not uploading any! Alex, michelle and I took a bus to parkway after the camp. After hearing me complain about my extremely dry skin a million times, they helped me to look for moisturizer from Watson's. Yay, i finally got it. After that walked around for awhile, and tried on stuff at M[phosis. I tried on this really really nice dress but it was too biiiiig! ): And it was the smallest size. So now I'm going to try and hunt down XS in different outlets. M[phosis is having a really big sale by the way. Mich alex and i all got the same hairband from there, we only paid like 2 something when it was previously 9 plus! :D Mich had to leave early so alex and I had dinner at long john's, then headed home.
Day 3 was mainly preparing for the presentation again. I guess our presentation was okay, I had to act a skit for it. HAHAHA. It was hilarious. I think the highlight of the day was switching off all the lights in the lecture hall, then dancing like fools to loud music. OH OH OH and shuffling! HAHAHA. We didn't win the presentation thingy, but that's okay. At least we tried. :D After the camp alex and i were supposed to go to Bugis with vanisha, ankita and shakeela. But we followed them to tampines mall then realised we were so dead beat, so we decided to take a bus home. It started to rain when we were walking to the bus stop, but we were both so tired, we didn't even run properly. HAHAHA.
So now that camp is over, it's back to school. Hmm, i'm not sure if that's a good thing.
PICTURES!!

I told you our poster was nice. Heh heh. Oh, and I look like such a dork.

DAY ONE OF CAMP CORRI 2008
I've decided to post about camp daily, so I won't have to crash post and upload so many photos. Okay so camp was boring, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I met alex at around 8 plus in the morning and we went around our neighbourhood to buy snacks. We took the bus to Temasek Poly and we were late! Around half and hour late. :D Even worse, we got lost. So we had to call Vanisha to come get us. HAHA. We had lectures about retail and stuff. The camp food was surprisingly not bad. During lunch people were pointing the cameras in my face to take uglam shots of me. I felt so..attacked. HAHA. Especially michelle sim! The mass dancing was hilarious. They had sort of a dance off and natasha nadia was dancing. She's really hilarious! Okay so after camp, alex, vanisha, shakeela, ankita, anthea and I went to tampines macs and had ice cream. Then walked around the mall for a while. I guess camp isn't that bad. I just don't like the lectures. And I'd rather be off in some island having a proper adventure camp.

1. I have been doing all my homework. I even tried to do my math, but i gave up after i realised i still have trouble keying in values for standard deviation. (BUT I TRIED)
2. I tried to pay attention during tuition. I think the whole o level thing is finally starting to sink in.
3. Susan (my tuition teacher) read my palm and said i think too much, my life is going to be very complicated. I am supposedly a pessimist. She told me to think in simpler ways. HAHAHA.
4. Camp is in 2 days.
5. I need to buy my own eraser, so i can stop taking samatha's and annoying her. Oh and a stapler.
6. I'm going to buy post-its and write down formulas for every subject and stick it in my pencil case, so when i open it everyday, i see formulas. (INGENIOUS!)
7. I want to change my lj layout, i realised it's bimbotic. I mean, hearts?! What was I thinking.
8. I need to get my hair done before Jeanine's wedding.
And finally,
8. I feel like crying. (PESSIMIST!) |

Yesterday school had the fire drill/emergency exercise thingy and so us Drama Elective students were asked to be the 'actresses'. My role was to be injured in the chemistry lab, where the explosion exploded. So I decided on a sprained ankle, since it was the easiest to act. I wanted to laugh so badly when these two teachers were helping me to walk. They brought me to the first aid post and the SJAB girls bandaged my ankle. Hahaha. Alex, who had a 'sprained elbow', and I were laughing a bit so in the end they figured that we were not a real case. Shortly afterward they brought in Geraldine who 'fainted'. She didn't want to wake up so they thought it was real. HAHAHA. I heard on the walkie talkie that there was a concerned parent looking for her parent and I got a shock when they said her daughter's name was MELISSA STEWART of 4/7. I seriously thought my mother came down and I didn't remember telling her anything. Haha. They brought pushed me on a wheelchair and then Michelle carried me up the stairs to the staff lounge to meet my 'mum'. And I realised that the person pretending to be my mother was Miss Ning and I immediately wanted to laugh cos my mum was so young. And it was evident that we were of different races. HAHAHA. So yeah, stayed in the staff lounge for a bit while waiting for the whole thing to be over. I heard that Joey's hysterical acting was so good that the girl attending to her got scared and started crying. Yay, we drama people are gooood.
After school had dance and I left early to go to ACS Independent for their Drama showcase called Love/Retreat. The show was hilarious and the guy playing Pierre the bellboy was damn good, i think everyone loved him. Haha. Took the school bus back to school and then went for supper with Natasha, Michelle, Alex, Su Jan and Geraldine at Simpang Bedok. SJ and mich had to leave early so the rest of us stayed till 11 and talked and talked non-stop. Then walked home.
What an awesome day.
I had drama this morning and when i got back, I slept till around 4 plus. Heeeeh. I needed the shut eye. OH AND GOOD NEWS! I managed to book the venue for my sweet sixteenth already. I'm EXCIIITEEDDDD, even though it's still a long way to go. |
