This morning the band was warmed up and all ready to play the national anthem then they announced that there was no assembly:(

Hmm... lessons ended at 5.30 today. Had briefing on council elections during CT. Mostly in the form of videos(those that i watched). The videos were really creative and entertaining, esp the pokemon one. Everybody was laughing like mad when the battle scene came out and when there was the sound for the pokemon centre.

GSC was rather boring. The teacher seems quite nice. But I was tired and the article wasn't very interesting. I almost fell asleep. Then there was some debate on blogging. Supposedly debate. But it ended up more like a good-natured quarrel cuz they were all speaking very louding, fighting to speak, interrupting each other and all talking at the same time. I couldn't be bothered to say anything. I was supposed to be the presenter. But I'm sorry, I don't want to join in the quarrel. Anyway they had so many things to say and I didn't really have any comments.

Went for band after that. Did quite a bit of sight reading. We played Phantom of the opera! Haha David's favourite. He should have been there. Then practised Hymn to the sun and armenian dance. Why he don't want to play 1812? :( It's a nice song though I got lots of rest. After band we had batch dinner! About 16 ppl went:) The J2s were amazed that so many ppl turned up and that we were so enthu. Actually not really lah, cuz most ppl from ny band and we go for batch dinner quite often so ya, it's quite normal for us. I shall attempt to name the ppl that went: Shimin, Samantha, Fransisca, Jun Jie, Ya Ting, Cynthia, Mellissa, Jia Ying, Irene, Xiangjing, Liu Zhen, Ya Ze, Sabrina, Yu Fei and me! Ya, stayed until 10 then went home with Sabrina. Met Aunty Jennifer on the bus. Ladies fellowship just ended.

Yup, slacking now. Not doing my homework haha. Dunno tmr got storm bible study or not. Ewen didn't reply. There's stj tmr too. I'm going cuz very little ppl going. Actually didn't want to go cuz got tests next week. I should stay at home and mug. But I studied a bit of proteins today! Went library with Jun Long during the 1 hr break. I think I got something out of it, at least not that blur abt the structures anymore:) Oh ya, Gabriel came back today!! :)

haven't blogged for very long. busy busy busy. got a lot of stuff everyday but i sort of like it haha. Being busy makes me feel accomplished cuz I've like done so many things:) Band is now 3 times a week. And we just changed time table. They added 2 hrs of pw and 4 hrs of gsc. Now our lessons end like later than ever. Fri lessons end at 5.30! Most ppl were like 'End so late I no need go for CCA already'. But band ends at 8.30! So I still can go:)

Piano exam's coming in less than 2 weeks. My exam pieces currently still cmi. haiz... Mon got CLL and GP test. Tue got Bio test and Math assignment. Bio alone can take super long to study already. CLL also. A lot of stuff to memorise. This Sat got storm bs i think. At night got stj. I don't really want to go. If I don't go can I don't pay the $30 for jts? Please... I'm like going to be broke if i have to pay that. I didn't even go lah. Other people's one week allowance is more than my one month's allowance. I can survive on my allowance. It's enough if I don't have these kind of super ex stuff to pay for, which is like almost half of my allowance already.

It was Luther's birthday yesterday and it's Johnathan's birthday on Mon. Happy late and early Birthday! Yay! We're having batch dinner tmr:)

shall post a short post though I'm supposed to be doing my work:)

Had band orientation today. It was quite fun. We had amazing race around Singapore. A bit tiring. Shall not write all the details. But my group was one of the last ones. Haha, actually we could have been quite fast if we didn't have lunch at the 2nd last stop. But well... we were hungry:)

Need to finish the yi lun wen today. Sian.... don't feel like writing. Dunno how to write also. Haiz... .... Then tmr must chiong for chem test on mon! Haven't even started studying and I don't really get the ionization energy thing. And Ms Kong said that the test won't be easy:( She hopes that we can pass! Shows how the difficult the test is and how bad we are at chem.

just when i thought that i had one...

I really shouldn't be blogging now. Got lots of homework and it's rather late already and I haven't finished my homework. I shall post my homework list.

CLL
-wang wei questions(mon)
-wang wei picture(mon)
-yi lun wen(tmr)
-presentation thing(fri)

Bio
-Proteins tutorial(fri)

Chem
-atomic structure tutorial(fri)
-chem prac VA2(fri)
-chem prac VA3(fri)

GP
-Vocab thing(tmr)
-newsweek ws(tmr)

Yuck. So much homework and most of them are due this week! I haven't done all of these. Today had band prac until 6 plus. By time reach home around 8 already. Eat dinner then come and do homework. Didn't even practise piano. Piano exam is coming!!! Tmr school ending at 4pm and only have a one hour break:( After that must come home to practise piano and do piano homework cuz at night got piano lesson. And must rush all the chem and bio homework also! Important! Next Mon got chem test. And Fri got lessons until 4 and have band from 4.30 to 8pm. By time come home will be super tired already. Then on Sat got band orientation. It's some amazing race thing around Singapore from 9 to 5. Haiz... no time. Ok, maybe it's just that I have bad time management cuz other ppl seem to be able to finish. I am not going to hand in the yi lun wen tmr. Haven't even started. Don't bother already.

Ok, band was quite fun today. I missed fac dance to go for band. I haven't finish learning fac dance:( Next Mon got fac dance competition. Then this fri supposed to have mass dance session but got band also. Dunno how. We did sight reading in band. Sight read Armenian dances and hymn to the sun(i think). We're going to play them for concert(most probably). They sound ok actually. But the notes for the hymn very high! Sylvia and I play until want to die already. At the end all the high notes got no sound. The Armenian dances is ok. Cuz we were playing third so quite simple. The rhythm sometimes a bit funny only.

Luther Chai pangseh me again! Last week he forget the lower part so in the end play melody and I was playing the lower part alone. Today even better. Never even come. Oh ya, the flugelhorn looks quite cool. But like don't sound that nice leh. The trumpet sounds nicer. Or maybe it's just him. Nvm, it's still cool:)

I shall attempt to follow josah's campaign. Like write 2 ppl per day. But I might not have time. So I might just write randomly and when I have time.

13. Hello childhood friend! We've like known each other since we were born and you've been a really good friend to me. Always there to give advice and encourage. You're a good role model too and sometimes I admire you for being what you are. It's not easy really. Don't give youself too much stress k? Just do your best and don't worry too much. If you need someone to talk to, I'll be there:) Yup, jia you for everything! Trust in God.

Erm only feel like writing one today. Still got a lot of stuff to do. Today we had bio prac. And everybody except Delfina didn't manage to finish it!!! Yuck. How come I do so slow? Now going to recopy everything cuz my report is like in a mess. And still got bio tutorial and mindmap. I forget when must hand in. And must finish math tutorial 5B by tmr cuz there's an assignment on that tmr:( Hmmm..... what other homework? Ah! Chem atomic structure tutorial. Next mon got cham and CLL test!! Then next next Mon got Bio and CLL test!! And got a lot of CLL homework. Need to prepare the presentation, draw the useless picture and write yi lun wen:( Ok, I shouldn't be here anymore.

Kope from pastor andrew's blog.

Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock. - Matthew 7:24

The Christian life is hard work. Christianity involves systematically striving to implement the truths of God's Word into your life. Spiritual depth and maturity do not come without consistent effort.

Jesus had just concluded the Sermon on the Mount, which sets forth some of the most profound truths ever spoken. The Son of God had clearly explained the kind of life that is pleasing to the Father. yet Jesus knew, even as He was concluding His sermon, that some of His listeners would leave and never apply a word they had heard.

Jesus said that a man who takes the words of God and builds them into his life is like a wise man who builds his house on a rock. Rocks are hard to build on. It takes great effort to attach a foundation to a rock. A house built on sand provides instant comfort; building on a rock is laborious and tedious. Yet building on sand leaves the builder in a vulnerable position, while the one building on the rock is secure.

How can you tell what kind of foundation a life has been built on? Watch to see what happens when a storm comes. A life built upon the Word of GOd will withstand the very storm that sweeps away the life that did not heed God's Word.

There are no shortcuts to spiritual maturity. Maturity comes only through hard work and obedience to what God says. The next time you hear Jesus speaking, begin immediately to firmly build His truth into your life, so that no storm can unsettle you.

Haiz... everybody seems so down. I don't know how I should be feeling also. Now, I'm actually not feeling upset or anything. I just sort of try to look forward to everyday. Like look forward to seeing my friends at school tmr. Then when I'm at school, look forward to the end of school so that I can go prac my trumpet or go for band prac on band prac days. And after that I look forward to going home and the whole cycle repeats itself. Maybe it is better that I actually look forward to stuff. Maybe this way, I won't be upset or think too much about stuff. Maybe this way, my life will be relatively happier than people who spend the day not looking forward and end up feeling down the whole day. After all, there's this saying that goes since you have to live through the day whether you are happy or not, why not spend it happily? Rather than just going through motion, which will end up affecting people around you as well.

I feel that either way, my life sort of have no purpose. Going to school and studying is not a purpose. It's like a habit because I have to do it everyday. Band is a passion. Ok, maybe we do have that 5 purposes that we are supposed to live out in our lives: worship, fellowship, discipleship, evangelism, ministry.(I'm not even sure it they're correct) But it really is not easy. If I really want to have these 5 purposes in my life, I'm sure that in everything I do, there'll be one of these purposes. So theoretically, life should be very purposeful. But in actual fact, if anybody really wants to have these purposes in their lives, I bet they'll have to think before doing everything. Ya, then maybe half the day will be spent thinking. It's like impractical.


Ok, this is random. But I think that those people who emo on their blogs actually have quite good language. It's like there are quite a lot of cheem stuff. Maybe cuz they think too much or something. It'll end up sounding like literature. And maybe in an attempt to make things not so obvious, they'll use metaphorsand stuff which actually sounds pro in language wise.

trumpets forever - 9:41 PM :)

Ok, I shall write something for the 2 people that said that they're not included in the 10 ppl thing though that was a few days ago. I don't even know if they'll read this lah. But I shall just write. It's going to be super obvious who they are.

11. Hello broken slippers group leader:) You've been quite a good friend ever since I got to know you better in youth camp, always so cheerful and trying to cheer people up. You're always nodding your head and I'm quite amused at the speed it can go haha.(ok, that was random) Jia you for storm and your violin lessons! Yay! Violin pro in the making:D

12. Hey ps, thank you for your passion for the youth. I'm quite inspired by that. You're like one of the few adults that actually understand us well and accept us as we are and even joining us in our crazy stuff sometimes. You've been a really good role model and leader. I still remember that when I was 'anti-social' in lower sec, you were the one who came and talk to me and always reminding me to smile on stage. Thank you for all the effort that you have put in to mould us into better people. Really appreciate it:D

Elizabeth showed me this poem the other day. I think it's quite nice so I decided to post it.

AGAIN
By Teal Henderson
If when you wake up in the morning,
And the hurting is so great,
You don't want to get out of bed
And face a world of hate.
If everything in life goes wrong
And nothing you do seems right,
You just try a little harder
And soon you'll see the light.
For every person who has put you down
And filled your life with pain,
You must strive to achieve greatness
And show them you can win.
For every disappointment,
For the times you are let down,
There will be a better moment
And your life will turn around.
Because everyone feels heartache
And everyone feels pain,
But only those who have true courage
Can get up and try again.

trumpets forever - 8:42 PM :)

I don't really understand how come my sister can get away with all the emo post on her blog without anyone asking her about them while I don't even have to do anything to get them. For people who don't understand, don't bother.


Ok, before I continue blogging, I shall remind myself of the message today so that I can apply them to my life before I regret anything else that I am going to post.


Today's message was still about a life that blesses and builds. The topic was 'A spiritual extreme makeover'. From the scripture Colossians 3: 12-17


Firstly, 5 character traits that every believer must show.
1. Compassion = tenderhearted mercy/ sympathy
- reach out to help people whenever there's a need whether they deserve it or not (there should be no conditions for helping others)
2. Kindness = love in action
- doing nice things to make others happy
3. Humility = having a humble opinion of oneself, not thinking that I am superior to others
- compassion and kindness come from a heart of humility
- one who serves
4. Gentleness = strength under control
5. Patience = longsuffering
- bear with each other/ me
- forgive ALL grievances, forgive like the Lord forgave you


And all these come from LOVE.


'We are God's chosen people, holy and deeply loved.'


Secondly, 3 rules when relating to others.
1. Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart
2. Let the word of Christ dwell richly among you
3. Do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus (you represent Christ in everything you do)


- Thankfulness and gratitude are part of our new nature


K, end of message. Sorry if there are people (eg non christians or other types of christians) who don't agree with this. I am not trying to offend anyone.

That was the valentine's day post. This will be a more normal and general post:) Hmm... let me think why I haven't blogged for so long. Mon had sectionals then didn't come home that early. Tuesday had lots of time. But I slacked it away by sleeping the whole afternoon then had to rush homework at night. Wed had cross-country, piano lessons and had to make muffins for valentine's day. Thurday rush homework again. Ya. That's why. I'm a da4 mang2 ren2! For the past few days have been sleeping quite late then wake up at 5.15am! So actualyl quite tired now. But I shall finish this post first:)

Ya, this morning had CLL lesson. It was just normal. Felt a bit sleepy. Then we had GP essay test! Luckily I didn't fall asleep halfway. I think my essay was quite crap as usual, and not enough depth. And somemore I think they expect more in jc, so ya... Then had chem tutorial. Went through redox. A bit clearer on the comcepts now. Then at 12pm, we finally had a break! And I realised that I eat slower than Jiawei! I thought he used to eat slower than me. Then end up they all wait for me, with jelly complaining aboiut my eating speed again... Yup, then had math lecture. I don't like tutorial 5B! I spent 0.5 hour trying to do the first part of question 1! There are 10 questions in that tutorial lah. Dunno how I'm going to finish:( After that had another 1 hr break which I slacked away and had CT session. CT session was useless. It was some total defence day programme though I don't really see the link between that and total defence day. I was sleeping throughout the first film but the second one was rather interesting. And they always like to use our late coming as an excuse to extend the CT session! Aiyo, their time management not good then admit lah. We were 10 mins late and they ended the session 20 mins late, then still say "see lah. That's because all of you were late." I don't see how our 10 mins late can become 20 mins. After that we could finally go home:)

Then Josiah asked me to go for prayer meeting so I went. There were quite few people there cuz some went mission trip, some went for their parent's cell group reunion dinner and others were just busy. We prayed for the JAE results:) ya, after that I went to Josh's house for my parents' cell group reunion dinner. I thought Joyce and Janielson would be there as well then I can see Joyce's brother but they didn't go:( haha, then I was late, so left Josh with all the small kids, watching spongebox squarepants.

Oh ya, we're getting a new computer tmr! So exciting:) It's coming at 9am. That means I have to wake up before 9:( Seldom can get to wake up late. I remember there was one Sat when I woke up at almost 12 noon. Super late. So, I should go and sleep now. Oh and a lot of people are influenced by Yan and I and wrote the 10 people thing. At first I thought only Thaddeus and Josiah. Then today realised that Tian Yong and Andrew did it too. And many got more people that I don't know about. And elizabeth did it too. Haha, we're influencial:)

See, I updated. And it's super long somemore. Happy? Faster update yours lah! Yours also so un-updated:P And you were supposed to do 2 people a day. The next time you blog arh... got more than 10 already...

trumpets forever - 11:57 PM :)

Oh my, I can't believe my last blogpost was on mon. No wonder Josiah said that my blog's not updated. It shows how busy I was over the week. Hmm.... was I? Or was I just lazy. Aiya, nvm, that's not important. The important thing is that I'm blogging now:) K, first thing to do is to thank ppl. Got a long list of people to thank although it might be a bit late. Ya, thanks to those people who gave my stuff on valentine's day. I wanted to take picture and post it here but was too lazy:P Valentine's day is seriously different in jc. I'll elaborate more after the list of thank yous.


Thanks to:

Ming Te for the pink spongebox sqarepants plastic bag full of stuff and the letter
Valarie for the toblerone and gel thingy

Jacqueline for the marshmallow blast
Naomi for the cookie
Dina for the card
Shao Ying for the chocolate and card
Liting for the chocolate
Emelyne for the snickers bar
Cai Qin for the smarties
Zhijie for the chocolate
Jiaying for the hand made rose
All Y-chromosomes in 08s72 for the rose
Pei Hua for the chocolate and card
Grace for the sweet and card
Jillian for the rose and card
Caroline for the rose
Elizabeth for the sweets and card
Joyce for the sweets and card
Zhou Jing for the sweets and card
Susan for the chocolate
Angelia for the sweet and card
Gabriel for the cookies
Jia Chen for the chocolate and card


Ok, I think that should be all. Hope I didn't miss out anybody. Sorry if I did cuz there are some stuff that I can't remember who they were from. Ya, Valentine's day is like quite a big thing in jc. There are like people selling flowers and gifts to raise funds and there are actually people buying! In sec school, it wasn't such a big deal. The most was buying chocolates and sweets for friends. I think one of the reasons for this big affair is because the angel and mortal will be revealed and we're supposed to buy each other presents. The guys in s72 were so sweet. They bought a rose for every girl in our class. And our class has 8 guys and 18 girls. I bet they spent quite a lot. I thought that the girls were more serious about these kind of things. Like Nicholas said that the girls in his class 'bombarded' him with stuff the moment he reached the CT bench. Super funny... I was quite shocked to see that our CT bench was so full of stuff after coming back from band. Haha, didn't expect it. And the guys actually bothered to give stuff... wow.

Oh Ares fac had a very cute heart shaped thing worn by someone to give people hugs. Jelly and Jia Chen dedicated some hugs(Pei Hua) and butt slaps(Jiawei and Alan). But I don't know if Jiawei and Alan received their butt slaps haha. One of the persons wearing the heart thingy was Carlos. Then a lot of people dedicated hugs to one person so they hugged 3 times:) Carlos was like "I'm supposed to hug you again." Mr Khairul was also SO nice and gave us a valentine's day present - a bio test in the first period. Miss Huo was quite nice though. She gave us stuff to eat and allowed us to eat our chocolates, cookies, muffins etc during lesson. Almost everybody was eating cuz we all had so much stuff. CLL lesson was really funny and we spent almost half the lesson laughing lah. Also dunno what so funny. After that went home lor. Met Nicholas on the bus and we talked for the first time after taking the same bus in the morning for so long. He's quite nice, sometimes quite funny. Oh wow! Such a long post for yesterday. I shall start a new post for today:)

Eeyur... got no pink colour for my font:( This is the nearest to pink that is seen-able.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIMIN!!!!!

Had CLL test today. It was ok lah. I think it can be quite well done if studied. But I didn't really study. But I sure can get at least 10 marks cuz I studied the mo4 xie3:) Ya, then had CLL lesson. Sian... CLL for 2.5 hours early in the morning is really not very good. For Chem lecture, we started on new topic: atomic structure. The IP people were like :"orh, learn before already". I really pity the O level track ppl. They never learn that before and the lecturer was like a bullet train as usual. I bet I won't understand anything if I were them. In sec 3, Miss Seetoh took a super long time to make us understand I think. Then whatever we cannot understand, it'll be "nvm, it's not in O level syllabus. Not that important." Now there's no such thing. U have to understand cuz it's in A levels syllabus. Then had Math tutorial. We got back the assignment. I didn't fail. Yay! I think it's because she's nice enough to give ecf marks. Or else I sure fail cuz the partial fraction whole thing wrong. Had sectionals at 2.45pm. We played 2 songs. Wow, so productive...

Ok, now for the not so nice part. It may be a bit emo. Ya, so don't read it if you don't like emo stuff. And I'm just talking to myself, not to anyone in particular. I'm just thinking a lot as usual.

I think I did something wrong again. Seriously, maybe my brain's a bit screwed up. It's like everytime, I do or say something without thinking, I'll regret it afterwards. I don't like reflex action, I don't like adrenaline. And even if I do think about it before doing, it'll still be wrong. When I think about it again after that, I'll realise that I shouldn't have done it. People have to '三思而行', I think I have to '千思而行'. Sometimes, I do things or say things that may hurt people. And I only realise it after I do it. I just can't seem to be more sensitive to people. And I know that sorry won't help after that.

Ya, then yesterday was Sunday again. I think I was sort of looking forward to it. I dunno why also. But seriously, yesterday was quite a happy day relatively. Things seem fine when we're as a cell. We can still talk and laugh and joke, although I don't know if that is real. I hope it was. It was for me though.

Well, maybe I'll end on a better note. This morning I was a bit sian when I went to school. Cuz of some stuff and CLL test. I just realised that it's during CT and not CLL lesson. I was counting on CT to study so was a bit stressed. Ya, but throughout the day, my mood became better. Partly cus the test was over and also cuz of my classmates. They didn't really do anything special but their presence and their 'happiness' sort of rubbed off. And thanks to the bullet train lecturer, I didn't have time to think too much.

Erm said that I will blog about yesterday. After service, we had cell lunch:) First cell lunch since the start of our cell I think. But the hawker centre got very little stalls open cuz its the 4th day of Chinese New Year. After that we went visitation. Went to Samuel's house first. Sat around, eat, talk and play games. We played 'I never' and I kenna sabo:( But the forfeit wasn't that bad, must eat bagua fondue. It was not bad actually. Lucky I didn't have the forfeit that we used the other day. Imagine I have to do mass dance there...

Then we proceded to Charlotte's house. There were a lot of ppl there then they left. We played cards and rubrik's cube for while. Didn't really eat anything cuz we already had lunch and fondue at Samuel's house. Yup, then went to Pastor Andrew's house. They were watching some scary movie I think, from the way they were screaming. Then we just added on to the screams for fun, like scream randomly, super funny. Actually I don't think the movie is that scary lor, it's just some ppl who are screaming while the rest are like expressionless. Haha then Justin suddenly go bang on the glass door and they screamed super loud.

Ya then after that went ama house for dinner. Steamboat:) I seriously don't know how someone can eat 3 bowls of rice for steamboat dinner. I ate only half bowl of rice and some food and I was like super full already. Steamboat eat rice a bit the waste of stomach space lah. There was a cake for ama after dinner. Zachary baked it. I think with san shen's help lah. It's quite cute. The words on top read 'happy ama b'dae!' haha.

Haha, this is from my sister's friend's blog. Decided to do it cuz I don't want to do my homework now.

List up to 10 things you want to say to 10 different people in no particular order. Remember not to mention who those 10 people are.

1. Hey! Thanks for being such a great friend since sec 1. I don't think you'll read this but nvm. I know it's not easy to be who you are cuz a lot of people have wrong impressions of you. But nevertheless, I think you've managed it really well. There are times when people will feel down and stuff, you can come talk to me! I can't gaurantee that it'll help but I'll try to understand and cheer you up:) Ya, you were always there for me too! Always helping me in a lot of stuff. Thank you! Hope we'll always be close friends and continue to have our annual 'outing'. God bless you:)

2. Happy Birthday! I don't really know you well but I thought of you cuz it's ur birthday today. I hope that we'll get to know each other better during the 2 years that we'll be in the same class. Yup, I think you're very pro to be able to manage so many things at one time, like ur busy training schedule and stuff. All the best for this year!

3. I used to think that you were very quiet and don't really talk but ever since I got to know you better, it doesn't seem to be the case. It's like your impression of me, changed after you knew me better haha. Thank you for being part of the group and like being the neutral person. Now there's like some things going on, you're the only one that I can talk to without having to think too much about those stuff. I really hope you remain in your school, then we can mug together:) Ya, thank you for caring and trying to cheer me up when I'm down. Though you don't always talk a lot, you're really funny sometimes and I think that you're sincere in the stuff that you say.

4. You've been a really great person in my life. Sometimes we do get irritated at each other but we patch up quite quickly. You've influenced my life quite a lot in case you don't know. In both good and not so good ways. More of the good ways lah. I may not be very patient and understanding sometimes, and there are times that I simply don't bother. I'm sorry for the times that I've been insensitive. Thank you for helping me when I need help, listening to me crap a lot, and standing by me when I need support. But sometimes I just wish that I can know more about your life. Maybe we're different, like I talk about stuff and you don't, maybe we're all too busy, or maybe I'm just kaypo. Ya, it's just a hope. It's up to you to decide. Thank you for being you all the same:) I think you're going to be really busy this year so jia you!

5. Hey... think we've all changed and maybe matured in this period of time. Sometimes, we need to think carefully and reflect on ourselves, but there are times when it's better not to think too much. Especially if thinking too much does you more harm than good. God put trials in our way so that we can grow and learn to become a better person, to be perfect when presented before God. I believe that all of us can overcome this together if we're willing to. Ya, so don't think too much since there is nothing much you can do at the moment. Just be yourself, continue praying and trusting in God.

6. Bet you won't even read this haha. I've like gotten quite a few people's impressions about you but I haven't really known the real you yet. Hope that in the years to come, we can get to know each other better. I think you're really pro and actually quite funny and lame at times. Ya, must teach me so that I can become pro too k? Oh ya, remember last time you said something about having combined outing, still want to organise? I think it'll be quite exciting:)

7. Hello! You've been quite a good friend so far. I quite like studying with you cuz I think we sort of understand things at around the same pace. Hmmm... actually I think you get stuff faster. Nvm, then I can ask you if I don't know:) And I have stuff that I don't know already hee hee. Oh ya, don't pao1 qi4 ur cca for council. Your cca needs you. Aiya, but ultimately it's your choice:)

8. sorry.

9. Boo! You always do that online haha. Thanks for trying to include me in ur 'circle'. You've been really nice, funny sometimes. Still trying to get to know you better though:)

10. *beams. Bet you know that I'm talking to you already haha. Actually I don't really know what to tell you. hmmm... thanks for being a nice friend, always beaming at me haha. Super funny lah, beam until mouth cramp.

That's it!

Happy Chinese New Year!!!!

And Happy Birthday Jia Chen!

Today was quite fun. Went po po's house at around 11 in the morning. Ate breakfast and just hung around. We took pictures! With our cousins:) Yan and I were wearing long skirts. Hmmm that's quite nan2 de2 cuz I seldom wear skirts. Dun know when I'll ever wear that skirt again. I bet everybody will have comments abt it just like today. Ya, but since my sister said that the pictures will be on my blog, I shall upload them.









After that went to ama house and gu po's house. Didn't really do much there. Just watch tv or watch the rest of the ppl play black jack. Daddy was the chef as usual haha. The babies were there again:) Oh ya, one thing good abt the long skirt is that it's so long so it has a lot of cloth, so we dun really have to bother about sitting nicely. And I drank 4 packets of green tea today! Haha so much. Dun really like the other drinks and green tea is nice:) So is ice lemon tea:) But there wasn't ice lemon tea.

Just realised that there's more homework on isp. yucks. Nvm, I'm going to mug tmr. Going to lot 1 macs with Yan to mug. Haha I never see the new Macs before. Heard that it's quite nice. So exciting:)

If only time can solve the problem, I really wish time would pass faster...

This post is going to be quite long cuz I have nothing else to do haha. Ok, shall start with today first, then if still want to blog then talk about yesterday. Today is Chinese New Year Eve!

Went to school early this morning as usual. Can wear home clothes so my whole class wore ares fac shirt so we're all red! Ya, the canteen benches were rearranged and we couldn't sit there. So I went ot sit at my CT bench. Nobody was there, I was all alone:( So I read the class book and wrote some stuff there too. I realised that I forgot to write my name so nobody wil know who wrote it haha. Then ppl started coming.

At around 7, we went to help Gabriel and Jillian carry the soya bean and stuff from the car to the bench. The soya bean milk was really nice. Gabriel's mum woke up at 4 in the morning to help us make. So nice of her:) Yup, then had combined assembly at the terraces. Only the high school band was playing. And they had to wear school uniform, cannot wear home clothes haha.

Then we had performance at the central plaza. The central plaza was rather nicely decorated, thanks to the counsillors who spent a lot of effort. Ya, there was Chinese New Year qi4 fen4:) Oh, the wushu was quite pro! Especially the guys who could do cartwheels without hands, flying kick and stuff. Yanglu was singing! Our class cheered super loud for her, and we were sitting right in front. See, we're so supportive:) The rest of the performance was ok.

Then we had the street market sale! All the classes were selling stuff to each other. But it was only for 45 mins. Quite short. Nevertheless, our class managed to finish selling our stuff! We were selling grassjelly, soya bean milk and ribena mixed with ice-cream soda. We earned abt $166! Yay! I think it will go to class funds. There were a lot of other food and drinks sold. But I didn't really buy so didn't spend money:) I think Jiawei spent like $30. Haha, who ask him know so many ppl.

After that we had 'lao yu sheng'! Haha exciting:) It was rather fun, although there wasn't much space for us to all squeeze in at one time. It was quite messy but not as bad as A13. A13 was beside us and they were totally playing with the yu sheng. They flick the yu sheng all over and purposely throw on their classmates. And they were so smart as to not lay the plastic sheet on the table before starting so in the end they had a difficult time cleaning up. Ours was very easy. Just roll up the plastic sheet and throw everything away haha.

Yup, then we had mass dance! Danced in the central plaza so it was quite hot cuz of the sun. But quite fun as usual. Mass dance sessions are usually fun:) After the dance, I think we were supposed to have cheering session but everybody just left for the shade and didn't really bother to cheer. School ended after that and I went home. Didn't go back Nanyang cuz I heard the teachers have cny lunch so there won't be any teachers in school. Didn't go back de la salle also cuz we having class gathering at Mrs Goh's house this Sat.

Went home and sleep haha. So pig. Then went for reunion dinner. Steamboat! The two babies were very cute:) I brought homework there but in the end never do... shall bring again tmr and hope that I do it. Oh ya, I'm supposed to post my homework list here. I'll do that later. haha, end of today. Dunno if I should blog about yesterday. Aiya, nvm lah. Nothing very interesting happened yesterday anyway. And this post is rather long already. Shall have a new post for my homework list:)

Yay! Today was quite a good day. I'm super full now cuz we just came back from dinner and ama house. Ok, talk abt that later. Start from the top.

Actually, we wanted to wake up early to send the China people off from the airport. But in the end we didn't go cuz mummy say too early, if we go then we'll be very tired the whole day. Ya, so went to church at around 8 plus to do holy communion. Carissa and Sarah were early too:) Finished holy communion, ate breakfast, then went back to audi one. Most people wore black, some were white. (this is just a random observation) Helped Charlotte copy out her chords for youth service cuz she say she scared she cannot read her minute handwriting. Her handwriting is super tiny.

Yup then had worship and sermon. Hmm... I was listening to the sermon today. I didn't know that acting happy when you're not is a sin. Actually I think that a lot of people do that. It's not that they want to bluff people on purpose but they just dun want others to worry or affect others with their problems. But I dun do that. I know sometimes I sound emo on my blog, but I really do have mood swings. I can be emo now and the next moment i'm ok already. Ya, and I dun lie abt not being emo when I am. If I say I'm not emo, I'm really not.

Ok, went for lunch at beauty world then had youth. Worship was quite good. After that had cell. Cell was rather fun. Talked abt our cell vision, cell outing and a bit of the profiles thing. The guys had a lot of crap as usual, esp someone who was usually rather quiet in cell. Ya, ended quite late. After that went to buddy hoagies to teach Calvin math cuz justin wanted to eat lunch(at 3pm...super late)

Ya, then went home. And went out for dinner. It was supposed to be 'reunion dinner' for our family, as in 4 ppl. Went to eat crabs:) Ate at 6 plus and I'm still super full now. But the food was really nice and I ate quite a lot. Then we went ama house after that. Ama still ask me eat popiah. I was like 'no thank you...'

Something's going on downstairs, like some concert or performance or something. So noisy. Cannot sleep. But I'm going to try nevertheless. Tmr must wake up at 5.15am! And won't be home until 11 i think. So I must go and sleep now. :)

Suddenly, I wonder why I liked to use to com so much last time. What I normally do is to go online and blog. Thinking back, I only talk to those few people when I go online. Then as for blogging, I report everything that happened that day. How come I used to enjoy that so much?

Now, with school work and everything, time passes super quickly. Dun have much time to use the com. Lost contact with people and lost my 'passion' for blogging. It's like after not blogging for so long, I dun really enjoy blogging that much anymore. And even if I go online now, there's not many people to talk to, as in people that I want to and can talk to.

Actually I think that sometimes, I quite happy that I have lots of work to do. It's sort of an excuse for me to not think so much about other things. Just concentrate on school and occupy myself with homework. When I'm free, I think too much. Maybe not a lot, but enough to make me not happy. Now it seems that the only thing that I really look forward to is band prac. Band is really fun and I enjoy it. I look forward to school cuz it keeps me occupied. Look forward to weekends cuz it has became a habit. And by 'looking forward' to everything, time just flies.

And I just read Yan's blog. She seems to have became what I was last time, like to go online and blog. I dun really understand some things on her blog also. Like what she's going through and stuff. Everyone's so busy nowadays that we seldom have time to talk. She's busy with debates and homework and I'm busy with school stuff. Come back quite late also.

suddenly i seem to have lost 2 friends. maybe it's just me
