Tammy just introduced me to Hoops and Yoyo... Gosh I don't even know what kind of creatures they are... But they're cute!! Yesh yesh!! They're some product of Hallmark (the card manufacturer)... Go check out their site! Both Hoops and Yoyo are a bit spastic, but you'll find wallpapers and screensavers and other rubbish, and yesh there are emoticons over there for MSN Messenger... And guess what's the best bit?? HOOPS IS PINK!!! YEEHAA!!

Hoops... & Yoyo...

Oh my gosh I lost 4 kg in the past month!! My grandma came over to visit and she asked me whether I was on a diet or something... I said no and then she thought I was stressed from school work cos according to her I looked like I lost 10 kg or something. Seriously, do I look that bad?? Everyone is commenting that I look so sleepy or tired or haggard or whatever else they're calling me... And all along I thought it was my hair cos my hair is quite long now and it's moggy and scrumpy and kinda making me look like a ol' dump with too little sleep... BARRGHH... I don't even know why I'm losing weight in the first place... I WANT FRIED CHICKEN!! I'm hungry now... All I want is crispy fried chicken (with loads of chilli sauce) and tender and crispy and fattening and oily and greasy and unhealthy fried chicken... Oh crap this is killing me... GARRGGHH...

Yup, I went to Pasir Ris Park today with my church cell group... Rachel Kwan and Charmaine couldn't make it, barrgh, but oh well, other than that we had quite a good time... Gosh I think I'm waking up earlier and earlier every morning... IT'S THE HOLIDAYS!! Oh well, I woke up at 8.30am, got a quick shower and went to corps to meet them first. The meeting time was supposed to be 9.15am, and I think I stepped into corps at 8.45am, couldn't be sure... Guess what? Jolene and her cousin Jo Yong were even earlier than me... Oh did I mention Jolene decided to bring her cousin to tag along... So while the two of them are indulging in their breakfast I just sat there stonily, until Biru came and shortly after Rachel Tan arrived too... Waited till 9.30am? For Andre and Coleman and Felix to appear... I think we were never on time as far as I can remember. Hee, to quote Joel, if you want to be on time you sit on a clock... *SHUFFLE* Okay, we actually arranged to meet Dora on the bus after all of us have gathered at corps, but the "good" news was that the sleepy girl was still at home... In the end we waited for Dora to turn up at 10am, and poor Ming Hui and Peiying... Told them to meet at Pasir Ris MRT at 10am, but we were still in BIshan at that time... Hee... Took bus 88 there, along the way we're trying to interrogate all of Andre's love stories, checking his phone messages etc. The bus trip took 55 minutes, ah ha, just short of a full hour... Met up with the 2 poor lost souls (Ming Hui and Peiying) who looked so romantic waiting together... We wanted to take a bus there but decided not to cos our butts were sore after sitting down for 55 minutes... Walked to Pasir Ris Park, snapped a photo at the signboard, went straight to the playground and we went crazy! Yep playing swings and slides and climbing the spider-webbed structure and horsing around. Gosh it was hard to believe us people sometimes. And yesh, I never realised that Peiying is capable of screaming or whining or shouting or whatever-noise-she-was-making at a constant high G note... Most of them scrambled to the top of the spider-webbed structure, took more photos then we went for lunch. We ordered our food, the total bill came up to $23.70... Then we walked over to the bike rental shop, we each got ourself one bike except Biru and Ming Hui who got a tandem bike cos Ming Hui didn't know how to cycle, then we cycled our guts out for the next hour, covered the entire Pasir Ris Park at least twice?? Yup yup, we returned the bikes at 2.30pm with wobbly legs, headed down to the beach for some frisbee-tossing and wading in the sea. All was well until Andre found this dead snake that was washed in by the tides... And so began a most intriguing time of trying to dissect the snake... Andre found this chopstick somewhere, and started stabbing the snake in an attempt to try and cut the snake body open, well, it didn't work... Could see the blood flowing out from the head, but after lots of jabbing all that remained was this small opening at the side, and when Andre tossed it back into the water, immediately this swarm of water maggots swam over and just started to feast at the opening... And yesh, you can literally see the maggots geting bigger and bigger every minute; they started out small but swelled to the size of a small beetle... Okay even I'm grossed out now. Change subject... Okay Andre went top-less... Not like we wanted to see anything anyway... Oh and the frisbee fell into the sea and Jeremy waded in till the water was chin-high? Other than that it was pretty much it, till we went home on the bus back to Pasir Ris bus terminal and on the bus 88 again for another long trip home...

Honey & Lemon drink

You'll need:
1 tablespoon of honey
half a lemon
warm water
ice-cubes if you want it chilled

Squeeze the lemon and collect the juice in a cup. Mix the honey together with the lemon juice and add warm water. Sweetness can be varied by adding more/less honey. Add ice if desired.

[o.o]

My sore throat disappeared after that... Somehow, in some weird way, the sour taste just numbs your gums entirely, but after that is a underlying sweet taste of honey that lingers on your tongue... Ahh yesh that was soothingly sweet and refreshing...

Yesh I know I just changed my blog music to this chinese song titled 童话... Surprise surprise... There's a CHINESE SONG on Guan You's blog... I think this is some kind of record for me... Hmm, Hsiu Tzu sent me the song, then the kids at the K3 camp loved this as well. I don't see the fascination with it, except that it sounds like a nice, soppy love song... Hee... Got lyrics too!

忘了有多久 再没听到你
对我说你最爱的故事
我想了很久 我开始慌了
是不是我又做错了什么

你哭着对我说 童话里都是骗人的
我不可能是你的王子
也许你不会懂 从你说爱我以后
我的天空 星星都亮了

我愿变成童话里 你爱的那个天使
张开双手变成翅膀守护你
你要相信 相信我们会像童话故事里
幸福和快乐是结局

一起写我们的结局

Whoo-ooooo-ooo-oooooooooo! I'm back from the K3 Roots and Shoots camp!! Left for Pulau Ubin on Saturday, stayed overnight then came back this Sunday afternoon... It was so very fun with all the kids!! Ah ha... Okay where shall we start? Ahh... Saturday...

Yep, Saturday woke up at 7am? It was too early for me to remember, packed some last-minute stuff into my bag, fed Nutseed 2 days worth of seeds, then I went to school for Greenlink cos Huimin wanted us to practise for the skit that we're supposed to be preparing for the kids at K3 camp... Well, I was half an hour late, and in the end we barely practised anything more than our lines... Didn't even manage a dry-run of the entire skit, so we turned to the spice garden beside the Oasis to water the plants and slack around. After that all of us went to Suntec City, cos Carrefour is promoting World Environment Day and I'm the i/c for our school volunteers. Met Perl Han finally for the first time, (Perl Han is not in Greenlink, but he's volunteering) and he's a nice guy... The rest went for lunch at the food court, while me and Perl Han went to Carrefour and got entertained by Mr Adventure who was juggling and magic tricking and stuffing his head into this huge balloon. Then Liyong joined us after that and we basically went around the whole Suntec City getting people to fill up questionaires on plastic bag usage. And in that process you learn how it hurts to be rejected, or slightly less hurting to be rejected politely, or happy when people stop and take time to fill in the questionaire. Around 2pm, the whole group of us except Liyong left Suntec to go to Changi Village Jetty, along the way out of Suntec we met Adeline and Fenella, went to meet Grant, Grace, Jerryl, Mindy and some other Green Volunteer Network (GVN) volunteers at Changi Village Foodcourt, then went over to the jetty to meet the Anderson Primary kids... Well, they're all Primary 6, in their school's green club, and there were 14 boys to ONE poor girl... Haha, Huimin was the ONLY girl from NJC who went for the camp anyway, so I guess it's pretty much "evened out"... Oh and this boy named Gary Toh was SOOO CUTE!! The moment I saw him I think I was telling everyone about him and how cute he looked and what a "pretty boy" he is... Yesh he's VERY CUTE... Okay enough, anyway we lugged all the equipment, supplies etc to the bumboats and zoomed off to Ubin... Once there we settled down, the kids went for some trail walk while the facilitators (that's us by the way...) and the GVN volunteers helped to set up all the tents for the kids, cleared the area and settled all our stuff down. When the kids came back we were split up into 3 groups, me and Jun Ying took Team Cheetah, and too bad Gary the cute boy was in Team whatever, Team Weird if I can recall correctly... Yup, we played games, and my group lost the first game which was to pass the hoola-hoops through our bodies, and the forfeit was to spell the word "DETERMINATION" with our butts. Yea, it ended up quite obscene... Then after throwing all our bags into the tents, we went for dinner at the eatery by the seaside, had loads of yummy food and Gary was sitting opposite me on the same table, so both of us ended up glancing/staring a lot at each other, even though I haven't spoken a word to him yet. Then Faith called me to ask about her computer and I got her envious of the fact that I'm in Ubin right now... Then Cheryn called me also and I told her about Gary also... Hee... After dinner we sat down in a circle at the campsite, used our torchlights as a "campfire" and played all the silly "campfire" games and sang all the silly "campfire" songs that Jerryl and Mindy were teaching us. Then Grant came along with the carbide lamp, impressed us all with the lamp but refused to tell us how it works... But oh boy the carbide lamp was enough to illuminate the entire "campfire" circle... More games/songs later we went on the nightwalk. First we saw the strangling figs, then walked into the Sensory Trail routes and deeper into the jungle and passed by all the mud holes with the mud lobsters, the fireflies, and lots of other greeery which I shaldn't bother to describe... We ended up back at the campsite, and it was barbeque time... While they were starting the fire, Grant was mixing yeast and fruit bits together to make bread, and when the charcoal was burning we roasted the bread and it was delicious... Somehow the salty taste mixed well with the raisin bits, and the hot roast just adds on to the taste. Yup, Jun Ying told me later that Grant is a great cook, and I don't think I doubt him... We mingled around with the kids, me and Perl Han felt sleepy and went to one of the empty tents to talk about stuff... Then I was talking to a lot of other kids also, oh AND GARY!! Yesh yesh, did I mention?? During the night walk at one of the head counts, Gary was asking "where's Guan You" cos I was supposed to stand in front of him during head counts... Ooh... He's so cute!! Yep, then there were these 2 girls also, they're siblings not older than primary 3 and their parents were the ones who opened the eatery business that we ate at for dinner. Yup, both the girls were very charming too, and they sort of remind me of my 6-year-old cousin...

The night sky was great. I spotted 3 shooting stars!! Yesh, I don't think I spotted more than 10 shooting stars in my whole life, so it was kinda fortunate for me to gaze up into the sky at the right time and see all 3 of them... Haha, Huimin was always a second too late... Yep, Jun Ying (he's in astronomy) showed us Scorpio and the Big Dipper, and at around 1am in the morning I fell asleep under the stars. Woke up later at around 3am or thereabouts, everyone else was sleeping except Huimin, Grace, Grant and Jerryl and a few other hyperactive kids who couldn't fall asleep... Oh Gary slept like a baby... Hee... I decided not to sleep anymore, so all of us who are awake sat around the barbeque pit and the carbide lamp to roast sweet potatoes and marshmallows. One by one all of them went to sleep, excep me who was still roasting loads of marshmallows and I simply loved the crisp marshmallow exterior but melted marshmallow interior... Then I sat on the chair stargazing in the chilly coldness of 5am in the morning, decided to sleep there and then after I got drowsy and when I woke up again at around 7am, it was freezing cold... Went to warm myself up at the still-hot barbeque pit, except that it was mostly ash and some ambers left... But it was still very hot cos the charcoal is still burning, so I roasted somemore marshmallows, brought this kid to the toilet, whining about the cold, looked at the sea and whined about the cold, walked back to the campsite whining about the cold, said good morning to everyone including Gary, positioned myself permanently in front of the barbeque pit and stop whining... The kids went for breakfast, while we stayed behind to pack up the tents. Ha... Me and Perl Han were trying to stuff everything, the base, the fly sheet etc into the bag, and the bag zip was threatening to give way until we slowly forced-zip bit by bit... Then it was our turn for breakfast, excellent lontong... Then more games which my Team Cheetah all got 3rd... Yesh, we got 3rd for all the games that we participated in right from first day, keeping in mind that there're only 3 teams in total...

Skit time. The Anderson kids went first, something about bringing awareness to the harms done to the environment, I'm not too sure, all I know is Gary was in it... Then it was our turn and we pranced around as trees, I was Baby Tree 1, then it was something about Great-Grandfather Tree bring chopped down and the trees crying out latex... We officially ended camp after that, took pictures, then Gary came over to say goodbye to all of us, AND ME... So sweet of him... And they went to cycle while all the facilitators and GVN volunteers went home...

And the funny thing is, I don't think I have any mosquito bites at all, but I've got millions of sandfly bites...

OUR GPP IS APPROVED!! Yep yep, I went to meet my PW group mates this morning at KAP MacDonalds... All of us ended up being late except Chiew Yee, and Khairi was soooo late that we just decided that he don't need to be present anymore... So the supposed PW meeting turned into a chit-chat session about whatever nonsense that came to our minds, and then we were more worried about our GPP cos Mr Leong refused to approve it cos our class haven't submitted our learning style and brain inclination and whatever rubbish... So we went over to school and bargained with Mr Leong over the approval of our GPP, then after making sure that all of us (MOST of us, actually... Haha) handed in our learning styles, he finally returned our approved GPP after being more than 5 days late... Yup, then Ruth did this funny jig and everyone was so happy cos this was our 3rd attempt... Hee... There was nothing to do after that, and being slackers we went over to West Mall to slack, borrowed books at the library and tried to act mugger-fied but we weren't... At around 2pm I left them and went to town to meet Biru, cos she wanted to watch Monster-in-Law but I wanted Madagascar, and in the end we both agreed to watch Monster-in-Law. Haha, lunch was at PastaMania cos I've completed all 11 of the chops, so I get to redeem a free pasta and a free dessert... Oh and the movie was hilarious! It's quite predictable and monotonous at times, but it's CYNICAL and REVENGEFUL, which is so SQUIDWARD... Haha, SQUIDWARD RAWKS...

Hee... I went to Ubin again, 2nd time this week... And soon to be 3rd time in one week come this weekend. Anyway, Ubin this time was with Yurong, Biru and Weiting, cos I wanted to recce if our class outings or cell group outings could be held there...

Hmm, let's see, first I met Biru under her block and she was late for 3 minutes, then we went over the Bishan MRT and Weiting was late for 10 minutes, then we travelled down to Bedok MRT and Yurong was late for 15 minutes... Haha, I guess we are all horribly un-punctual. Then we took a bus down to the Changi Village Jetty, took a bumboat there with Biru constantly pestering us to take photos, had lunch which was done by ordering four different dishes and separating them into 4 parts so that we can all share... And I think we fed the cats more than what we ate ourselves... Hee... After lunch we each rented a bike and cycled round the whole of Ubin. Yup, we were dying by the time we met our first uphill, then we cycled into this dilapidated house and then this graveyard, then we went all the way uphill and into the forests and got bitten by this huge swarm of mosquitoes and we ran like hell with the mosquitoes giving chase... After that horrifying incident was slightly more peaceful. We cycled on the main road, then we saw another forest trail and Yurong wanted to be "adventurous" as "we had nothing to lose", so we cycled in with lots of tree root bumps and twigs and branches, and WE REACHED A DEAD END!! It was sooo smart of us, so we were all laughing at our stupidity and had to backtrack out of the trail... Okay, then we went into the villages, got a break at one of the village houses and was playing with the little boy who was fascinated with this bug crawling on the road. Then cycled out again back to where we started, took a different trail and ended up at the beach-side and rested again and took photos of our shadows in the sand, then cycled up to the Secret Garden and got splashed with mudpools and yucky gooey stuff... And after that we decided we had enough and went back to return our bikes, drank coconuts and decided that the Thai ones are much better than the local ones, then returned back to mainland...

What a day... Hee...

Wouldn't it be nice...

Postie
Wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury
Chocolate roads and trees 'n' birds 'n' bees
Delivering all kinds of letters daily
Every kind of purple parcel too
And if the dog did try and grab a mouth full
You can bite him back, he'll taste delightful
Wouldn't it be nice!

Surfer
Wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury
You could surf inside a chocolate tube
Ride your board across the wave forever
Get wiped out and never get a bruise.
And if a shark came up and tried to bite you
You could say "I'm chocolate I invite you"
Wouldn't it be nice!

Soccer
Wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury
You could be a soccer super star
The referee would blow his chocolate whistle
A shot on goal would even break the bar
And if you went and scored the winner
You'd win the cup and eat it for your dinner
Wouldn't it be nice!

Car
Wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury,
Driving in the car would be a tasty treat,
Changing gear would soon become a problem,
Cadbury Dairy Milk is so good to eat.
And when you arrive at your destination,
You'll be greeted with an exclamation,
Wouldn't it be nice!

MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS JAMMED!! SO NOW I'M PERMANENTLY STUCK IN THIS BIG LETTER FORMAT, UNLESS I CHOOSE TO TYPE WITH ONE FINGER ON THE 'SHIFT' KEY like this, which is very cumbersome... SO FOR MY CONVENIENCE, IT SHALL REMAIN LIKE THIS, AND PLEASE DON'T THINK I'M SHOUTING AT YOU OR ANYTHING COS I'M NOT... HEE...

ANYWAY I WAS AT PULAU UBIN TODAY WITH HSIU TZU AND SHU FEN AND HUI MIN AND JUNYING... WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HELP PREPARE EQUIPMENT FOR THE K3 CAMP NEXT WEEKEND... FOR THE UNINITIATED, THE K3 CAMP IS THIS KIDS CAMP AT UBIN NEXT WEEKEND WHICH GREENLINK IS SUPPOSED TO HELP OUT... WE MET GRANT AND GRACE, THEN BASICALLY SHIFTED EQUIPMENT AND CLEANING THEM THE WHOLE MORNING... AFTER THAT WE WERE SITTING DOWN HAVING LUNCH AT UBIN, LISTENING TO GRANT TALK ABOUT PLOTTING AGAINST MRS CHENG BY TRACKING DOWN HER HISTORY ETC ETC... THEN HSIU TZU AND SHU FEN WERE MASS-DANCING IN THE STRONG WINDS, THEN THE RAIN CAME AND BOY IT LOOKED LIKE A TWISTER THAT WAS ABOUT TO STRIKE UBIN... AND THEN WE SHUFFLED AROUND SOME MORE AND WENT HOME AFTER THAT AND NOW HERE I AM...

CAN'T WAIT FOR K3 CAMP! AND I WANNA GO UBIN AGAIN...

OH, I'M IN GREENLINK EXCO! IT'S CONFIRMED ALREADY, BUT WE WON'T KNOW THE POSITIONS THAT WE'RE ALLOCATED TO YET... HAHA... THE OLD EXCO WANTS TO MAKE A WISE DECISION AND CONSULT THE TEACHERS ETC, SO IT'LL BE A WHILE BEFORE I KNOW MY EXACT POSITION...

OKAY I THINK THIS POST IS A BIT SHUFFLE... HEE...

Morning!! Okay, I think I'm a bit too eager for school... But it's alright, I have to wake up anyway, NOW IS THE BEST TIME... Muahaha...

Yup, more about yesterday which was Vesak Day holiday... Since I guess it's the only thing I can talk about right now... I spent most of my yesterday at town... Was supposed to wake up in time to meet Atiqah at 1030, but I overslept and ended up delaying all the way to 1115... Oh, this superbly cute guy sat beside me on the bus!! He's very VERY cute, and the best thing was he got down at the same bus-stop where I was supposed to meet Atiqah. And I still can't name the bus-stop; I only know it as the "two lions" bus-stop... We decided to go to MacDonald's to eat breakfast/lunch, whichever is applicable, then Atiqah's friend Madeline joined us. Oh my gosh, she's like the most random and shuffle girl I ever met in my whole life... Okay, Hsiu Tzu you're not the most shuffle, Madeline is... She's just switching subjects all the time and ranting and suddenly the subject will change again. 'Twas a nightmare... Anyway after trying to study for another 2~3 hours, we gave up and went shopping instead... I was looking for a present for Cheryn's mum's birthday, which was on Sunday, and the initial thought was to get her a mug since we were mugging... But all the mugs were too expensive, then went from Takashimaya to Heeren (where Madeline spent 30 minutes choosing 4 different hair-band colours) to Robinsons. Finally I got this Victorian Postbox teapot... And after that I went over to Cheryn's house to pass her mum the teapot... Ah ha...

Oh, I ate Happy Meal!! Got this Nakamura-kun roller stamper... I think I'm like going nuts over it... I want more Happy Meals!!

A lot of things happened this weekend... A lot a lot... Lemme start slowly... Hee... (:

Okay, Friday was a good day... I skipped morning assembly cos I was lazy to go all the way up to the Assembly Square, stayed in class to finish up my Econs TYS questions, then the Science idiots arranged our CA6 seating plan AGAIN... Despite the "No Acceleration/Motion/Velocity" notice that Kai Jie put on the whiteboard... Anyway, I ended up stoning in Econs tutorial, then I was thinking of how hip Mr Dio is as a Lit teacher during his Ted Hughes analysis... Okay, then PE was Captain's Ball, jumping around and acting cocky/cute/crazy at the opposing team... Oh, during Human Geog we got Qiling singing the "planting rice is never fun" song... Ah ha... Then during our break we found a ball by the grandstand and played Captain's Ball again, this time more hilariously because Janvin is falling down everywhere and I got the chance to act cocky/cute/crazy again!! Ah ha... During Maths I was doodling the CA6 ceiling pattern on my tutorial worksheet... Lots of circles and dots and dunno what... After school I went to town with Atiqah (again) and danced around and irritated her with my lameness and talking rubbish... By night-time at youth service I was too drained from dancing and rubbishing about. We played games that night, my cell group got 2nd!! I'm so so proud of them... And we got Choc-Wanilla ice-cream and did the "3 cheers" like 5 or 6 times... And our straw structure was the tallest!! Wahoo...

Okay, Saturday (yesterday) was spent at the Kranji area... I went to Lim Chu Kang farms as part of a Greenlink outing, and there were about 10 of us... Got onto the bus and it turned at so many turns that I thought we were hopelessly lost... Anyway, we ended up at the cow farm first... And it so happened they were feeding the cows with this flour thingy and it smelled so bad that Huiling puked... But for most of us we were more interested in the cows than the smell... Hee... Then we took a long long walk up the road to get to the goat farm. Along the way we spotted a common green snake on a tree, then later we spotted a huge lizard basking on a rock, which Jun Ying caught with his bare hands... Yup, the goat farm was much much cleaner than the cow farm, and it won some cleanliness standard award or something... We watched them milk the goats with this suction device, then went into the barns to interact with the goats... They are all baby lambs, and those cute cute ones that the children would love to play with and the girls would swoon over... Okay, here's the record: Hsiu Tzu is a nubian goat because they make a "distinctive complaining sound"... And we played with every single goat, I let them sniff my hand and lick my palm, then I pat it on their head/neck... After the goat farm was the frog farm. The bullfrogs were constantly croaking and looking as though they were about to explode, and then they'll hop around and swim frog-legged style... Hee...

And today? My 6-year-old cousin came over, then both my aunts too... I wanted to do homework, but it's impossible when my cousin is hyperactive. Yup, then went out for dinner and that was basically it...

Note: I left out some details which are deemed personal and those kind of information that are "for me to know and for you to find out"... They're not essential to the main story anyway... (:

And, I read your entry. Every word of it. I can't express my appreciation for your trust, but I want to let you know that I'm always here... Take your time, we are all here to help, support and protect...

God, I pray for strength, and may I never break that precious little heart...

You're Cr...Chromium You scored 33 Mass, 22 Electronegativity, 70 Metal, and 0 Radioactivity!

Oooohaaaaah.... shiny! You probably have an incredibly stable and well-maintained group of friends... that probably also don't get out much either. You're not one to get bogged down by a problem. Of course, I'm basing this upon Chromium's ultra-low water-exchange constant and it's corrosion-resistant properties, and I wouldn't be too surprised if the analogy doesn't even apply.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 32% on Mass You scored higher than 19% on Electroneg You scored higher than 89% on Metal You scored higher than 0% on Radioactivity

Whoo! My GP tutor is officially Ms Sharon Phua!! I can't describe my feelings at this moment. I've heard enough stories about her. All my seniors told me to "keep away from her as far as possible"... Yar right, try "keep away from her as far as possible" in every GP tutorial... First thing she came into class on Wednesday, she just brisked past the attendance, got us to reflect on what we've learnt in GP so far, then basically set down the RULES... Frankly speaking, I can't remember learning anything in GP during the whole term. We were just slacking our guts out with the relief tutor, who was equally as slack as we were... And all of a sudden you put a class of slackers with a strict, no-nonsense disciplinarian, what will you get???

But for all that horror and terror that we associated her with, she's quite fine in class actually. Of course, this is based on the assumption that she doesn't scream at us for the remaining of the year... Quite impossible... Yup, but no doubt we'll finally have a proper GP tutor now. Today was double periods of GP, one hour and forty minutes! And in that one hour and forty minutes, I learnt GP cognition skills that was equivalent to the five months of GP lessons that I've been attending. YES, MS SHARON PHUA IS AWESOME. I don't know how she did it. But that was the only GP lesson that I probably got the most out of it... I'll much rather look past the demandings and disciplines if that meant a distinction in GP...

Other than that, my life's pretty much peaceful at the moment. Had Sports Day yesterday, and my class was just sitting stoically watching all the races and cheering half-heartedly with purple poms-poms... Aerius got 3rd, which was kinda disappointing cos we did quite well...

God has been great. If you choose to live a life for Him and trust in His plans for you, He'll guide you along the journey...

And for the disturbing facts... I hate to think about it, but sadly it's becoming more and more true. I think I know more girls than guys in NJ. I think maybe I'm really naggy. And I think I'm really rubbishy and lame.

And most of all, I wish too that you're here by my side now...

Kid's church songs are simply AWESOME... You get to sing in a kiddy voice and do kiddy actions and dance around and spin around like a kid... WHEE!! Add in the actions yourself and have fun!! (:

Wahoo! I just came back home... Today was College Day at NJ, and the date falls so nicely that it was the celebration dinner after the 40 Days of Purpose as well... Anyway, the main gist was that I went for College Day first to sell chicken fillets, then rushed back to corps for the final parts of the celebration dinner...

Okay, here's the details...

I'm a pig today. I woke up at 10 am today, and was supposed to meet Rhoda at Jurong East to buy the oil for the frying of the chicken... Oh, for College Day my class sold fried chicken fillets cut into small cubes... Yup, I was just about to head for Jurong East when Rhoda said don't need to already. Might as well, it saved me the trouble... Then I went straight to school instead, went around with Amy to get a PVC pole that we stole from the hockey people, then the two of us went to Coronation Plaza to buy disposable gloves and tongs. After that was just plain crazy... I spent my time marinating chicken fillets for the WHOLE EVENING... We started at 5 pm, then I didn't get my break till 7 pm... The whole time I was just pouring frying seasoning into the tray, grab a piece of chicken, slap it in the powder and trying hard not to sneeze, coat it entirely with the seasoning, then dump it into the next tray for the eggs and breadcrumbs before frying. It wasn't as bad as it seemed, cos I was having fun by being totally lame and random (shuffle) and being a total idiot and acting cute in front of Sheng De's/Amy's camera(s). Then we were still marinating and frying at 8 pm, and everyone was just so tired and sick of looking at the poor chickens. Oh, Mr Leong helped a bit to fry/marinate. What, THREE SOLID HOURS OF MARINATE ON MY FINGERS!! But the effort was well-worth it, cos everyone enjoyed themselves and we've sold only half of our chickens but still made a profit (I think)... The class spirit was awesome!!

After we cleared up I went to corps for the celebration dinner... Oh, Weiting and Dai Xuan came back too... Yup, ate a little bit of food from the buffet dinner, sat down with my cell group and acted cute AGAIN... Now I think I'm so good at acting cute that I don't need to act anymore. Hee hee... Anyway, my cell group were joint-first in the games! Too bad I wasn't part of it as I wasn't there yet, but I'm still proud of them... The cell group spirit was awesome!!

What happened after celebration dinner? Oh well, let's just keep it a secret between me and you. Hmm, it did rained VERY HEAVILY, showers of love and blessings... What more can I say??

Hi Peiling, if you're reading this... The blog is going to take a longer time than expected. I don't have the time, but I'll promise to set it up and running by June holidays. Or if I get to overthrow you, whichever comes first... HAHAHA... And you never buy chickens from me!!

Okay, that's a rather long entry. I'm going to sleep. Good night people... [O.o]zz

Hmm... The Indian coral tree that my Principal planted during the Earth Week is officially dead and withered now. Well, when we first planted it there were still like 10 leaves on the tree sapling, but 3 weeks later, all that's left is a stump with no leaves left... Well, Hsiu Tzu and me went down to Thomson today to get a replacement for the tree. Then I was whining and complaining and acting weird and everything to poor Hsiu Tzu, who had to endure all my nonsense... Haha... And we were walking from Goodwood Florist to FarEastFlora to Hawaii Landscape to goodness knows where, and none of them stock any Indian corals because it's a seasonal tree and it wasn't the season!! Bah, then the stupid thing was that none of them had any tree saplings, so in the end we bought this curry plant and we told Huiling that it was a "tree"... Hee... Then we had to lug the pot and plant all the way back to NJ, watched the Angklung Ensemble practiced for College Day, then went around the school hopping around and shuffling about... Haha, Hsiu Tzu is my new good friend in Greenlink... (:

Was checking my mail... "Q: Who do you miss most right now? A: Monster..." Oh gosh... Thank you thank you... I'm thinking a lot about you too... (:

Bweh... I'm very very very tired... All I want right now is my bed and fall into a deep sleep... Sleep sleep sleep... ZZZZzzzzzz...

Just came home from Corps... It's the 2nd last week of 40 Days of Purpose for the small groups, and I guess my cell group really bonded extremely well with each other... Somehow I never really got that sense of satisfaction when I was still a cell member. Now that I'm leading the cell and initiating everything, there's this fulfilment and joy that comes from watching your group grow in maturity... Love you people... (:

Okay, we're doing Ministry this week, and last Sunday was Ministry Fair... Well, part of the discussion questions this week was to say something good about a particular person of the cell group, sort of like revealing what they're good at and to also as a form of bonding... Well, we had fun praising (and dissing) each other, I don't think anybody mind... Hee hee... But all of them said I was naggy and woman!! Hmph! I'm not naggy, and neither am I woman... Okay, self-denial... I think I'm a bit naggy, and just a teeny weeny bit woman... Whatever, I still think I'm not naggy and woman...

Oh my crap... It's only Wednesday and I'm already so brain-dead from too much school... I think I'm seriously wasting all my time at tutorials. I have absolutely no time to do those Maths tutorials, and all the homework seems to pile on top of each other every week. As of speaking now, I still have 2 Lit worksheets undone, a GP essay due tomorrow, tutorials since Mathematical Induction and my PI draft to be done. Oh man, how I DETEST Project Work... It's simply the bane of my life. I don't see the point in it, and I don't have the time and energy to do it. BAARRRGGGHHHH...

Andrew Tay from the Nature Society came down to NJ this afternoon for the ladscaping of the garden. He's very professional, gave us a lot of tips and hints, and it's evident that he knows his greens. Looks like a big project going underway for that plot of land. And I highly suspect myself to be very involved in that entire landscaping of the garden... Sigh...

Okay, at least one thing good is that 05A01's constituent are a bunch of GREAT PEOPLE!! Really truthfully honestly... Sometimes I wish there were more guys in the class, but the female gender is plain awesome... Every lecture or tutorial or lunch breaks, I find myself the only guy among 6~7 girls. Haha...

And I missed you a lot... Need you by my side...
