Geography Test

I just did the Virtual River online quiz but I cannot save it to my thumbdrive for printing. ah. The certificate and the picture will disappear somehow, due to the formatting I guess. Argh and the problem is I cant connect my printer to this computer cos I dont have the installation cd. I may not even have been given the disc lor. And the big problem is my laptop has no internet connection. Must be something wrong with the laptop.

ohwells its ok bahs. better go and study geog. There's physics assignment to complete. Will be bringing it with me to phy tuition later for enlightenment.

I am currently obsessed with some really nice mandopop songs laa. Listening to jj's bei feng chui guo de xia tian now. Rocks laa. I like duets (: Esp this one, ni zui zhen gui and er jaychou's shan hu hai and wu ding. All rawk like crazy.

Chatted with yy on msn last night and she recommended a movie 'the lake house' to me. I went to read the synopsis at www.gv.com.sg then watched the trailer. Oh man it rocks. I am definitely gonna sacrifice some revision time to watch it. Anyway the time used to watch the movie may even be some slacking time laa. I havent watch pirates of carribean too.

Read the newspaper while having my lunch. Actually just browsed through it laa, its kinda hard to eat and read at the same time... Then saw this article on a cat being dismembered and found at Sims Avenue... SPCA is looking for witnesses for this cruel act. The cat's head was chopped off and body cut into four parts.

Oh gosh that culprit is so inhuman. Why must he do this to such a poor creature? Sims Avenue is quite nearby my house and I know there's quite a number of stray cats loitering about but they are totally harmless creatures. Argh I cant stand animal abusers laa. Ppl from 4j who read this post will start calling me an ambassador of SPCA lol

That reminds me of the convo between me, yingqing and zhaomi yesterday on the way from Simei Stn to Hongyi's hse. I saw this puppy as we were walking and thought that since yq lives in a private apartment she might have a pet or something so i asked her she said yes. Then I started questioning about what breed the dog is, how long she has been keeping it as a pet etc. Then they said I sounded like I was doing an investigation for SPCA! hey no. It was out of pure interest that I asked laa >< =P

I used to have a pet poodle last time. Gui bing gou. Love it to bits. It was my childhood friend then. Then I think my parents gave it away as they didnt have time to take care of it and I was too young then. I didnt even know they gave it away lor. I think I just took it for granted. And now, a few months back I thought of going to SPCA to be a volunteer and even did a fund-raising event for HRSS in DHS. But then I realised that due to a long time of not interacting with domestic animals I have actually developed this unexplainable phobia towards them. I tend to fear dogs which bark and cats which follow me around purring. hehe. So it's pretty impossible for me to volunteer at an animal shelter. But I can consider to help out in other areas bahs.

Ms Tan told me something about CIP at zoo after exams. Sounds interesting... Definitely looking forward to it.

Tomorrow's the final collection for Pillar of Hope network selling. Hope all goes well. There's bio prac test in the morning followed by geog test then my collection of funds. Busy day har? hmm

wish me luck (:

and before I end this post,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CLARISSA!
Hope you like the chip/dale from me and yi ling. (eh i cant really differentiate between the two squirrels?)

Shopping Spree. Lousy Service

Ah I just read twin's blog and learnt that she pia-ing chem today. I did not study much except read through a few pages of geog on rivers... Went to hougang for p.o.h s.l proj in the morning. I decided not to call it cip anyway cos it's kinda outdated. Yea i was kinda grumpy in the morning... Was wearing the blue ylmp shirt...

Anyway did balloon sculpturing and taught the girls from xms how to make flowers. My fingers hurt now. Can some kind souls out there pls invent some kind of machines to tie balloons? The skins on my fingers esp the middle and index are peeling off like crazy. and it's SUPER UGLY cann.

I stayed till around 3 plus when Sun Lu's friends came. Went to Hougang Mall to get some stationery from popular. It's been years since I've been there so I went exploring and discovered this store 'Kawaii'. I bought a seashell bracelet (: love it to bits. Got a discount cos GSS is still on.

Dropped by the p.o.h booth again then went to take bus 80 home. Then after washing up, I went out with my mom and bro to Plaza Singapura to get a travel adaptor for my zen neeon and PC speakers from Creative. Argh the service was... ... ...

I just tested the speakers on this computer and apparently the left speaker is spoilt! Which means my mom has to make a trip to PS tomorrow again to change it. Ah. I dont think there's anything wrong with the plugs cos my dad's pretty expert at that. Must be the speakers' prob lor. grr.

Bought a tout bag too. Then had kfc for dinner and headed to Marina Sq. to make new spects for myself. My current spects is rusting really badly and the metal scratched my face. I am disfigured ):

Made the spects at Optical 88. The two opticians there were pretty young. Chatted with them and got to know that one of them graduated from SP.

I have a question. Why do opticians like to octracise those who are VERY shortsighted and with high astigma. HEH. I am adding 'optician' to my list of ambitions!

Alright I better go remove all the wires of the speakers then place them nicely into the box so that they will be ready for the trip back to the store. And I am gonna take a photo of the stuff I bought during this GSS. I've never get so excited abt GSS before lor. Ah I am a big girl now =D

Btw my cousin gave feedback that my blog lacks pictures so its boring. Well it's not that I dun wan put photos. Firstly it's cos i dont have the time to upload. Secondly I cant scan either since my printer/scanner is connected to my laptop. I will upload lotsa after my exams.

Before I end, my horoscope for today:

Your horoscope forSaturday, July 22, 2006
Some interesting changes will mix things up for you today. The sun will meander into Leo, marking the middle section of the summer schedule and giving you an edge when it comes to sending and getting tons of messages and news. The gossip will spread like crazy! Mars' move into Virgo could impact your home life. Look for more action, but avoid a parent's feisty mood.

How true. My mother's rather cranky today. And I forgot to AVOID it. SHEESH.

My life's a balloon. The fruitfulness depending on how I sculpture it =D

Mathematics Seminar 2006

oh man my headache jus wont go away argh.

Went for Maths Seminar at NYGH jus now. Hm I didnt really enjoy it. The topic was interesting and prof koh is humorous but I was jus too tired to concentrate and too not-in-the-mood to take the initiative and make new friends. This is so not me but well this is what i have become now... after entering dhp perhaps =X

I shall not attend any other seminars except for those on service learning. I am not as much the thinker that I was in primary school. Sometimes I am just too lazy to think lor. Sad har?

Anyway I took bus 154 with Pei Yu to Singapore Post and took 155 back home. My zen neeon actually died on me just now. The last time I was listening to it was on the bus to NYGH. Shu Min and I listened to the latest songs which I've uploaded and slept. That time the battery already low so no surprise but one thing for sure. I NEED TO GET A TRAVEL ADAPTER FOR MY ZEN NEEON! Preferably before the GSS ends.

ah headache is not as bad now. What a tired day at school. Everyone's like so moody... but it wasnt too bad a day for me la. Except for the fact that I choked on the wholemeal bread that I was eating during recess. I have been eating wholemeal bread for breakfast and recess the past 5 days or so... And I was so glad to see that there's no more wholemeal bread on the kitchen table. wahaha. I prefer white bread to wholemeal but wholemeal's the healthier choice.

Exams are about 4 weeks away and week 5 and 6 are still packed with tests and assignments. I am so sick of my life cann. Gimme a break. Give us all dhppers a break laa.

There's Pillar Of Hope flag day at Hougang tomorrow. Will only be helping out in the morning till Sun Lu comes. Please come and support us. You can make a difference in the community and also brighten up our day (:

I will be going to shop with my mom tomorrow night bahs. I need to destress but I better do some constructive stuff tonight and tomorrow afternoon.

Next week's gonna be a busy week. And the worst thing is that our deadline for LA documentary is next friday! And there's geog test on that day as well. There's chem prac test and maths test according to Pei Yu.

And bad news... Mr Ng is still teaching applications of integration and he still has kinematics to cover for eoys. UH OH.

I may lead a busy life but I shall strive to make it a happy life (: life's not that bitter after all ^^

Good-mood-day (:

Had physics tuition just now... and I have two homework left to be done... One is the chi rev paper. The other is the chem ws... Not sure if Mrs Phua asked us to do but anyway i dont think I'll be able to complete it. There's like so many questions.

Missed LA lecture for 'Pillar Of Hope' presentation for yr1 to 3. I definitely need to improve on my public speaking skills... And I tend to go' erm....' which can sound quite irritating over the sound system in the hall especially when the bass speakers are spoilt =
Hmm played floorball during PE. I realised that actually it's quite fun la. But my striking skill is lousy until I dont know how to describe it =P well there's always room for improvement (:

On the whole I was in quite a good mood today bahs. Except that the left sleeve of my uniform had 2 blue pen's marking. One was thank to Shu Min who was swerving her uncapped pen all around. The other one... I am not sure. But there's a probability that Shu Min's the culprit! oops =X

haha kae. It's been a great day. Read about my horoscope in yesterday's chinese newspaper. The description sounds kinda limbo-like. Oh no. It goes something like what I am leaving the darkness but cannot see the light yet. er?

Alright back to my work. I better sleep early tonight. Have been sleeping for around 4 hours for the past 2 or 3 days and my mom is pretty pissed off by the fact that I am lacking sleep. bleah. cya.

Better time management pls

Tonight, I need to practise excellent time management for I have a lot of things to do. There's a chem test tomorrow and there's 'Pillar of Hope' presentation on Thursday. There's E&I presentation tomorrow as well after which we will all be free after half a year of torture. I know this sounds evil but I really dont enjoy the lessons. I just dont have the interest in the accounting area, not to even mention the talent. I really idolise accountants (:

Well here's a list for me to complete by tonight, otherwise CANNOT sleep.

1. E&I powerpoint for my part which is the key assets.
2. Study chemistry - electrolysis and energy changes.
3. Collate E&I proposal.
4. Complete documentation and ppt for Pillar Of Hope Network Selling.
5. Get ready Physics file.
6. Do Maths HW (if possible)

Yea that should be all. Argh. I slept at 2 plus last night trying to chiong chemistry but unfortunately I got too tired that I went to sleep and wake up at 655am this morning. I better get enough sleep tonight otherwise tomorrow I will make careless mistakes in the chem test again! And E&I presentation is during the first 3 periods. oh bummer. What a good start for a Wednesday morning.

Alright. I should get going. Byebye.

Stupid mistakes

three stupid mistakes i did today:

1. Walking into Coffee Bean
2. Intended to order coffee to perk myself up yet ordered a belgian chocolate in the end
3. Spent $6.70 on a regular cup of belgian chocolate, only to realise that it's too sweet for my liking and caused my stomach to feel really funny the whole time during tuition.

The only good thing is that my funny-feeling stomach kept me awake during tuition =D

I saw Cindy and Elaine again (: same tuition teacher. wahaha.

School work's driving me crazy. Coffee Bean's a pretty good place for studying. The lighting is quite good. The atmosphere is pretty ok too. Provided you buy the right beverage.

No more belgian chocolate for me anymore.

I think latte is still the best. Bitter sweet. Just like life (:

back to e&i.

I made a pact with shumin not to sleep tonight but I think I cant tahan for long.

PERSEVERE!

Flag Day; Jap food; long to-do-list

Today's horoscope from seventeen.com

Your horoscope for Sunday, July 16, 2006
If you get involved in a group activity today, make sure that it's really organized. You won't be able to deal with chaos now. In fact, you might even be the one to make sure all the details are taken care of. Something as simple as a picnic in the park could turn zany when people confuse things like time, attire, and meeting place. Prepare--and keep your cool.

Aw even my horoscope's asking me to keep my cool. Went for flag day at tampines today. It was pretty good but I dont even feel like talking and hence didnt help much in the sales but did balloon sculptures. We sold the notebooks and character guide books. The response wasnt exactly overwhelming but not too bad either. The team will be embarking on the network selling next week. Hope all goes well.

The heat was really getting to me as I stood behind the booth. But the green apple smoothie which I bought from NowHere made it more tolerable. And the fact that the whole team was there, working together, made it a pleasant day and experience.

After packing up at the end of the flag day, we went to a jap restaurant at Novena Square for some sort of meal in between lunch and dinner. Tried raw salmon. Tell you something, it's my FIRST time eating raw fish. Yes. For as long as I can remember. Even during the flight to Germany I didnt eat the raw salmon on the tray. Gave them to the people sitting beside me. But yea I tried just now. And it tasted quite good with the wasabi plus soya sauce (?.?) It had the familiar salmon smell. I love to eat salmon actually, both steam and fried but never raw. Yea so it was good. The restaurant sells gelato ice cream and one of the flavours is Clementine Belle. Special eh? Ok i sound like a mountain turtle but it was my first time having a meal in that restaurant. I usually patronize Sakae Sushi. And it was also my first time to Novena Square.

Ok I think I should get started on my UN Mock Conf essay. I didnt do much homework this weekend. As you know, yesterday was dhp open house so my whole day was practically spent there. But it was a wonderful experience too. I even met my kindergarten friend's dad, mom and sister. He didnt go cos he has tuition.

Yea actually my weekend had been quite meaningful. To think that I still got so emo just now, thinking about my poor time management, but it's a fact. Just that I spent my time doing meaningful things for the school and community.

And correction for my previous post, I am enjoying what I had done... just that I allowed my thinking about what has not been done to get to me... That's why most of my earlier posts were quite emo and sad laa.

Eh I want to thank twin for listening and 'eating' up all my problems yesterday, giving a loud BURRPPP at the end. I really feel better and I am glad you understand (:

And eh to that anonymous senior who has been tagging my blog, thanks for letting me know that I am not the only one being stressed. It feels weird thanking a stranger. But yep really thank you for taking the time to reply the tags. Ok la not exactly stranger. He is my senior but i dunno who he is.

ok ok thats all for this post. still have lotsa stuff to do.

All the best to my team's network selling!

All I want...

All I want now is to have some peace to myself.

Or another alternative would be to have free time to do things which I enjoy withou worrying about any other things.

Which is kinda impossible.

I dont think I can enjoy much things now other than sleeping.

How sad.

My Non-euphoric Life

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

silent screams. I dont feel any better. But at least I am not hurting my vocal cord.

Life really gets on my nerves so much that I want to scream my lungs out.

All those crap like 'you'll never walk alone', ' i understand', 'friends forever'. ALL CRAP.

When u are at the lowest point of life, no one really cares you see.

You may say 'you never say how others know?'

Yea thats true. Then why am I ranting so much?

Just to raise awareness perhaps. For you not to step on my tail and get on my nerves so much that I use you as a chu qi tong. I am really capable of doing that, believe me.

I know everyone's stressed. everyone has their own problem. I KNOW I KNOW. It's already stressed knowing how stressed everyone is, and it will be great if we just stop adding stress to one another.

My life is sad la. I cant laugh at comedies, I cant have pleasant dreams, I cant laugh at jokes, ok maybe i can but definitely not wholeheartedly. I cant de-stress. I cant concentrate.

Whenever I laugh, I will end up tearing due to over-exertion of my tear glands perhaps. But thinking about it now, I think it may be becos I was making use of the chance to expend my tears since I feel way too numb to weep.

oh man this is such a wonderfully sad post. To think I was telling myself

'When the world trips you down, you pick yourself up!'

What an irony. Life's always ironic.

To be or not to be. All i want is to revert to the old 'me'.

Fireworks

I hear fireworks but I didnt open the door like I used to last time when I was young. I cant bear to admire the beautiful fireworks with a heavy heart. It's too cruel. Way too cruel.

I am typing out data for geog proj now.

I will be doing research on globalisation later.

I have to complete the UN Mock Conf essay by today. and other homework. As much as possible.

Cos I will be out for the whole day, I suppose, tomorrow.

I therefore conclude that I will not get to sleep tonight.

I am going to explode!

I wish I wish I wish...

I wish for a simple wish.

That is to have 48 or more hours in one day.

That's so simple right? But how come no one has granted it for me? Ok maybe cos' I dont have an angel. Or becos' I am already someone else's angel.

You may think this is nonsensical but I need something to relax my brain. Had our last Art Club meeting cum handover session just now. It wasnt exactly formal... just simple. And I also realised that I cannot remember what happened in my sec2 yr in DHS. I think I was too stressed out by my duty as a monitress then to really remember what happened. But I do remember Mrs Lim SK and I miss her loads. Just saw her jus now and she remembers me (:

I am relaxed enough I guess but I have a long list of things for me to do. And somehow the list seems endless... new things-to-do just keep on adding on to the list... a never-ending list. How sad. I have to try to clear of some of the things tonight. There's still art club open house duty tmr... but I have to reach an hour earlier to work on the balloon sculpturing for csc booth.

I feel like I am trapped in a double limbo. why double? think about it.

On a lighter note, I just checked my horoscope for today on seventeen.com

Your horoscope for Friday, July 14, 2006
Relationships are a big deal to you. Sometimes, it feels as though you're always looking for someone who can reflect your every thought. That could explain why you you're so picky. But now you could be considering a major relationship with a guy, or a deeper friendship. Open your heart.

The first part is true. I do look for someone who reflect my thoughts and hopefully every thought. But it's impossible unless the person's as complex as I am. As for the second part, it is unfortunately invalid (: There is obviously nothing for me to consider lalalaa~

I cant even open my own heart and see what's the problem behind my lack of motivation lor. What an irony bleah.

Random post... Just trying to rant out my frustration. I am gonna read up the news on Zidane later. I hate myself for sleeping like a pig during the worldcup finals. oh man.

No more candies, chocolate and snacks for me. The trip to the dental bus served as a wakeup call to what kind of damage I am doing to my teeth for eating more. Maybe it's one way of helping me stick to a healthier diet too =D

I want to watch pirates of carribean II. Gimme more time...

Simplicity is life. How I wish to lead a simplier life.

Integrity

What's with current dunmanians arh? Where's the integrity and sensibility and morality and humanity?

In simplier terms, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM?

honesty is a virtue. No one is a perfect saint but at least you keep your conscience clear. Dont do something without thinking and then feel guilty. You will REGRET it. Everything will be too late then.

Dont think that only when you are commiting a crime then that's a crime. Dont think that there's nothing wrong with entertaining a random thought about a crime. Cos as long as you think of commiting a crime, it's already a crime and you've already lost part of, if not all of your integrity.

I always have full confidence in dunmanians. But well i must say i am disappointed after something happened to someone close to me.

Tell you what, you better start feeling guilty and return whatever that is not rightfully yours. Otherwise you face the undesired consequences.

LOSER!

Deleted post

Oh man. I just deleted the post which I wrote a few minutes ago. It's so crappish it makes me stressed.

Name me a place where I can play basketball alone quietly. I need some peace.

Euphoria's playing a game of hide-n-seek with me.

Are you Boy-Crazy

I just came upon this quiz on girlzone.com and I realised that being boy-crazy is actually a medical condition!

Er no i am not trying to say that I am boy-crazy or anything although some of my friends did tease me about being boy-crazy last time but no I am not. Cos I cant get any score out from the quiz. Phew I am perfectly all right (:

This illness is known as Male-Obsessive Cranialosis which is a frequent side-effect of being a young woman at the end of the twentieth century and often results in a woman's weakened sense of individuality.

In simplier terms, the woman with this illness cant live without a guy.

How dumb. There's so much meaningful things to do in this world than drooling and going crazy over guys. Things like service learning =D

For more info about the illness, check it out at

GIRL POWER!

Love at 0?C

Today's Sunday and tomorrow's Monday. There's only 43 more days to my EOYs. Actually I dont see the point of counting down cos I am not motivating myself much, more of giving myself more stress.

I went to Kallang Mac this morning for a P.O.H mtg which lasted for a few hours then I made my way back home. It's weird that I didnt feel like going anywhere but home. Perhaps cos I am too tired. I had a headache whole time at mac and I think it's the withdrawal symptoms of some tear glands' exercise which I did last night. Feeling better now. The sky's dark and it looks like it's going to rain any moment.

There's a new show on Channel 8 at 9pm on weekdays, Love at 0?C, starring Elvin Ng, Julian Hee and Rui En. Eh I know local idol dramas are quite lame. In fact idol dramas ARE lame but I like them ;) At least they give me the space to believe that fairytales still do exist despite that the story plots are about the same. Be it MVP Valentine, Green Forest My Home or Snow Angel, the show revolves around a girl and two guys, a love triangle to be more specific. Ya love triangle. The girl is so attractive that two guys want her then she has to make a decision and choose one of the guys, leaving the other guy's heart shredded. However, the guy who is not chosen will put on a brave front and says, " I dont mind as long as she is happy. Her happiness is my everything.'

So cliché right? Since I know what will happen then why do I still watch them? I have no idea too. And actually for your info, idol dramas are not exactly senseless laa. There're always quotes from a particular drama series which I will jot down to inspire myself =D

This post is so random that I dunno what I am talking about. But anyway this is my blog so i dont care.

back to BLOG

Yay bel's back on blogging mode =D Let me see... whoa the last post was dated 30 June and it's 8 July already. So much has happened during this never-blog period. But I dont want this post to make you die of boredom so well I shall just pick the top5 most interesting events (:

1. I watched 'Superman Returns' with Peiyu on Thursday. Yay Superman's my hami. yea Hami ;) Dont get it? Aiya hami is honey laa. The movie's pretty ok I guess. Not exceptionally fascinating. Well cos it was pretty chaotic. We watched it at EW Suntec. And the sound effect was EXCELLENT.

I discovered that I might have a problem keeping awake these days when I watch movies. Because I've developed this habit of closing my eyes at some instants while watching movies during LA lectures. And the bad news is that this habit has followed me into cinemas. And that happened while I was watching 'Superman Returns'. HOW?!

The only solution would be to get enough sleep every night which is actually a challenge for me since I have turned into a nocturnal creature, thanks to DHP. I stayed up the whole night to chiong my LA film then went to sleep at 6am and woke up at 9am before rushing to school for the submission of the film and proposal. And during MI week, stayed up till 5am for the Powerpoint presentation. These two were the most taxing periods of my yr3 dhp life. But I am really thankful for my friends during these periods of time. Without them, I would have died at the hands of these torturous projects. They were my PILLAR OF HOPE at that time. And they still are. Really appreciate and love them very much =)

Ok that's quite alot of digression but never mind. I shall make it a point to sleep early every night. My late sleeping habit has also resulted in a weak immune system, causing me to fall sick every now and then. So please do me a favour if you happen to see me online at like 12 am plus. Remind me of this resolution k?

2. I met Beatrice at Aljunied MRT while Pei Yu and I were taking the train to City Hall. She still looked the same so I was able to recognize her. She recognized me too. Said hi to each other. It felt weird to see an old friend after so long. It has been around 4 years since I last saw her. We used to be good friends last time. Cos My register number was 3 and hers was 4 so she sat behind me for the 2nd semester. Yep really miss her loads and it's great to see her after so long. But I didnt really know what to say to her. I suppose this is the effect of not being in the same school, hence having nothing in common to talk about. Boohoo. I hate this.

3. Mr Kiw's love story. Mr Kiw came in to 4J for CME lesson. We started on the chapter of marriage and commitment or something like that. Then he actually narrated how he met his wife and their compatibility. His wife's HOD of CL in my primary school. Hehe. And I met her the last time I went back. Then I told her that I am a student of Mr Kiw. I supposed this is fate ;)

4. Geography Performance Task. Ah this topic is really going to make me fuming mad. To think there are still inconsiderate people existing in Dunman High. How ridiculous. I will still blog about it cos I have friends waiting to read about it. And this can serve as a warning to all yr4 geography students who are implementing their project currently.

We started on our project on thursday. Planting a can at the side of zhengxinyuan. But due to some problems of inaccuracy, we had to change our plan of planting only 1 can and observing it for 3 days to planting 3 cans at 3 different sites and observing them for just 1 day. And we implemented the new plan just yesterday.

Peixin and Jess were in charge of one can and they planted it at the moss-covered soil near the fish pond outside the science lab block. Yi Ling was in charge of the can at zhengxinyuan. Juehui and I tried to plant a can at the barren soil near zhengxin yuan but apparently the soil is too loose and the water actually escapes for the gap between the soil and can.

Before I continue, this project is to investigate the infiltration rate of different conditions of soils.

Ok so Juehui and I decided to try planting it at the barren ground on the school field and so we went. Ok we planted it. Then filled the can with water and started timing it. The cans have markings on them so that we can record the timing taken for 1cm of water to infiltrate. We made use of recess and the two free periods (originally UN Mock Conference's) to do this. However at 1130am, we had to return to class for Mdm Nora's LA lessons. We left the can in the field, with the water level near 7cm mark (Either 6 or 7 or 8cm. Cant rmb but that's not the main point)

After school at 12pm, we went down again to check on the cans. All were intact. We went back to classroom for our Geog remedial from 1230pm to 130pm. After that, we went down to check again. And upon reaching the school field with Yi Ling, what unfolded before our eyes was equivalent to a punch in my stomach.


our Mili Longan Can lying tragically on the metal railing of the drain right beside the school field

Hello? Our hard work. You may laugh and call it 'lame'. But I would appreciate it if you keep your comments to yourself >< This geography performance task is a time-consuming one but it's part of our assessment for this semester. So we had to do it.

But the thing is, we didnt plant the can right in the middle of the field for people to strike it. Both Yi Ling and I know who are the culprits who 'uprooted' our can. Because while we were checking the can from 12pm to 1230pm, there was this boy who kicked a ball with extreme force and sent it heading towards to roof of the shelter, almost hitting me and Yi Ling. That was ok.

When we were leaving for geography remedial, the same group of boys if I am not wrong, went to the field and started playing soccer. We were like 'the ball better not hit our can'. And tadaa. The school field became the crime scene.

How inconsiderate. We found the can lying on the metal railing of the drain (or whatever you call it). We went to take a look at the spot where it was originally planted, only to see 2 round depressions. One made by us while planting the can. And the second one, according to Yi Ling, was made by the boys who actually tried planting the can back.

And apparently it seemed that they failed cos they dont have any idea of how to do so and left the can lying horizontally on the metal railing of the drain.

How can Dunmanians behave this way? Where's their 'Cheng, Xin, Yong, Zhong' ? Actually I also cant think of any ways that they can make up for their mistake. It may have been an accident yada yada yada. Yes. And the can doesnt have our class and names.

BUT THE THING IS, the boys were playing soccer as a form of entertainment and we are doing this project for our academics. They are most likely to be yr3s who are having their MI week and not required to go to school. And even if they go to school, they should be working on their project instead of hitting and uprooting our cans. Apparently there are some other cans on the field which are intact. Why is our can SO lucky then?

Now we have to do the timing and planting on Monday AGAIN. It's really tedious and taxing. Definitely not enjoyable, unlike playing soccer >,< and we have to submit the report by the Monday after the coming Monday. We dont have jus this project you know. We've upcoming tests and assignments. Thankfully, Ms Pear is understanding enough to extend my grp's deadline. THANK YOU MISS PEAR! (:

And so... I dont think my group has the time to find the group of culprits and confront them or whatever. 'Sorry no cure' anyway. But we will definitely learn from this lesson. We will pick ourselves up from where we fell and we will make sure no one trips us down AGAIN!

5. Chinglish and Singlish
I read today's Straits Times forum about the bad state of linguistic skills in Singapore aka the evolution of Singapore English and Chinese to the current Singlish and Chinglish. I have the same sentiments but sad to say, I am a product of this evolution. Speak to me for a few minutes and you can learn that whatever comes out of my mouth is a plate of rojak. Yea I was discussing about that to Pei Yu on thursday. It's like when I am speaking in English and I cant think of the right word to express my thoughts, I would just replace it with something in Mandarin without hestitation. Uh oh =X

I think one of the factors contributing to the deterioration of my linguistic skills is that I am currently in an all-chinese-students school. Which grants me the freedom to switch from English to Mandarin and vice versa since all my peers will understand what I am talking about in either languages. I see a terrible need for me to improve on my languages and I shant procrastinate. I will speak good English and better Mandarin (;

All right. I hope this post is interesting enough to keep you informed and entertained despite the length. No offence is intended by whatever is written in this post. And thank you for dropping by =D
