SPH Wildlife Conservation Ambassador

I am having this spinning headache now. Must be due to the lack of sufficient sleep last night hence I am going to sleep really soon, most probably after this post and packing my bag for tomorrow.

Well I dragged myself out of bed reluctantly this morning at 630 am. Becos I've to reach Singapore Zoo at Mandai at 845pm. Supposed to meet yy at City Hall at 715am but she couldnt wake up in time. So I headed to AMK by myself first. I attempted to read my new romance novel on the train but it was too straining on my eyes so I stopped reading. The journey from City Hall to AMK was around 17 minutes.

The day at the zoo was more or less considered fun. I enjoyed the tour to the Fragile Forest where we will be carrying out our duties for our 6 attachment sessions. Ohya we started off with ice breakers... same old stuff but it was quite fun.

Hmm after lunch was some worksheets-doing in the auditorium and we were granted an early dismissal and so we took the opportunity to tour the zoo. whee went to the animal feeding session for the polar bear, proboscis monkeys, hamadryas baboons and jaguars. Yea it was quite an eye-opening experience.

Waited for like super long for bus 138 to ferry us to AMK stn. Upon reaching the mrt stn, yy and I encountered some traumatising experience with a volunteer selling donation tickets. Shall not elaborate much but both of us did not buy the ticket due to the same reason. Great minds think alike (:

The train journey back home was the most tiring, squeezy ever. And I had the spinning headache since then.

Tomorrow's the second day of workshop at the zoo and also the last day.... and we are going to have a test on our skills for being a guide at the two conservation areas. We were told to go through the notes given today. I started on it just now while watching tv but my mind was too tired to accept anything. I give up. I shall just go get my precious beauty sleep then read the notes on the MRT train tomorrow, afterall the journey will take about half an hour if not more.

After today's workshop, I became more aware of conservation issues... Yep and I think everyone should play a part in conserving the Earth's resources for 'lasting good of men'. Yea and I am glad that I had participated in the workshop to become a licensed conservation ambassador at one of the famous local tourist attractions.

Yea i shall end here. My mind is too exhausted. I better go sleep. Shall end off with this quote.

'Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents; it was loaned to you by our children. We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.'
- Native American Proverb
Well i only managed to complete task number 1 on my to-do-list and merely that took me about 9 hours?! Yea from early noon to evening lor. You can imagine how pig-styed my room was. it's much neater now but I dont think it will stay this neat for long la. Ohya i still need to tidy my wardrobe. It's so messy that you might have taught someone had ransacked it.

Anyway I was tidying my study table just now so that I can have a nice place to put my laptop and guess what there was this cockroach at this corner on my table, covered by my pencil holder. Omg obviously I screamed. Stupid cockroach. I wonder how long it had been nesting there. Grr.

I cant listen to fm933 online as the laptop dont have realplayer. And the reception for fm883 is like lousy until nothing to say can. It's on off on off on off de LOR. How irritating.

I've to wake up at 630 tomorrow... meeting yy at city hall before taking the train to amk then finally a bus to Mandai Zoo. Grr why must the zoo be so far away from the city? And I wonder what's in store for us tomorrow lor. We were told to wear a white shirt with jeans or bermudas. Which white shirt should I wear? hmmm I dont really like white shirts. Makes me look fat. Ok wrong phrasing. Makes me look fatter ><

I may not be able to go for yoga this sunday leh. how sad. But I will be accompanying my maternal grandmother to Botanical Garden most probably. The plan's not confirmed yet. There's YVIP06 camp next week. Half excited, half scared. Going to an overnight camp with more than half of the campers whom I dont know. But at least all of us share a common passion, that is, volunteering =D

I must say that my life is currently in very good condition and constant progression. Yea filled with lotsa activities, allowing no boredom to overwhelm me. And of cos the activities are all different and that satisfies me. After all, for typical geminis like me, variety is the spice of life.

Hmm I better go and sleep now otherwise tomorrow become panda then all the animals in the zoo come and attack me. heee. ok la i know its lame but well i'm loving it (:

Age considers, Youth ventures!

Laptop's BACK!

Yea went to collect my laptop from HP Headquarters at Alexander Road just now with my parents. Finally. The laptop is like brand new and the best thing is the wireless internet can now work! Plus I can now type chinese and most importantly chat with my nanjing buddy cum godsister in chinese! whee but i need to install Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and Excel. And all my other files plus programs like Creative and my samsung hp program.

And the bad thing is that I have all my emoticons and favourite websites bookmarked in my brother's desktop. Grr plus some other files... like videos of the fireworks I took during the Singapore Fireworks Festival. My precious videos. Hope that they will be safe since the computer is currently suffering from some minor virus infection lol.

Yea I am as happy as a king now. Gonna use this laptop like crazy.

Went to Pasir Ris East CC just now with Qian Bing and Li Wen. Supposed to go and register for our dance class but apparently the guy just told us to leave our NRIC number and they will contact us again and that we dont have to make payment yet. Then when we were shopping at white sands the CC people called me and told us to make payment asap. what is that lor? We just left the place erhem. It's not anywhere near White Sands. We still have to take bus 358 there. I've already gotten the money ready. We can just pay like on the spot? Nah not going to pay them asap. Shall just pay them on the day itself ><

Went shopping. But I was on a spending fast. Yea I saw lotsa stuff that I am itching to get but I didnt. It was hard controlling myself but well I am glad to say that I did it (:

Some stuff which I saw and felt like getting but DIDNT:

1. An anklet with bells
2. A pooh hp pouch
3. pink ear studs
4. colourful hair clips
5. Short sticks candies

and many many other stuff which I would have bought as christmas presents for my family and friends.

It's pretty sad to shop while on a spending fast. Shall try to be more thrifty these days. Since I spent quite alot of money repairing and upgrading this laptop, going for SPH wildlife conservation programme, signing up for yoga etc. I still need to get new uniforms and jc textbooks (if there's any).

I need to save up for christmas presents too. Aw. Really hope that there will be some christmas parties cos i love them.

Supposed to go partyworld with huanglin and the rest tomorrow for a karaoking session cos we have free vouchers but apparently there's some conditions for it and it's too costly. How sad. Nothing is free in this world. yea how true.

I am almost done reading the romance novel titled 'I am your Cinderella'. It's so touching. The male protagonist in such fantasy romance always has some bu ke gao ren de mi mi. I am about to read the part where the secret will be revealed. Exciting (:

being happy is the essence of living (:

Debating Session

Just had some sort of debating session aka quarrelling with my brother and yea guess who won? Of cos me la. Just my hokkien is enough to beat him >< So tired of nagging at him to let me use the computer for just a while before I go out. Grr. It's either he has some hearing problem, or he cant understand the language I was using or his brain has some selective processing and that it only processes the stuff that he chooses to hear. grr. I cant wait to get my laptop back from HP headquarters.

Better go and get ready to meet Shu Min and the rest for a gym session. whee. And the rain had stopped. I just hate it when it starts to rain just as I am about to get out of the house.

And again my mom discouraged me to go out in a tee and pe shorts. Cos it's too figure-revealing especially since I dont have a very nice figure. How insulting and demoralizing. Gonna WORK IT OUT at the gym.

Looking at the photos I realised that I really missed 4J. Yea we may still be in DHS next year but things will not be the same ever again. Things always change. People will change too. Just hope that our friendships will stay the same. It's sad that nothing lasts forever in this world. But well at least fate brought us together before and we have all the wonderful and fond memories for keepsakes.
4J rocks rocks rocks.
(Shall dedicate another post with testimonials to each and everyone of my classmates another time.)

Parties

I suddenly feel like organizing some christmas party. I haven't organize such stuff for a longggg time and I used to take pleasure in organizing birthday parties for myself. It sounds so diao la. I mean there's no surprise at all lor. Of cos I would love to have people to throw surprise birthday party for me but my parents wont do it. My friends hmm. Not in primary school la. Too much limitations. So at that time I would always tell my mom that I want to have a party then they let me have a party at my house. I had birthday parties when I was 3, 10 and 12 if I am not wrong. oh anyway the one when I was 3 years old was organized by my parents. hehe.

But slowly and gradually as my thinking matures, I think it's no point organizing a birthday party for myself on my own special day. I should organize some parties for my friends and family on some common special occasions. Of cos I would love to organize surprise birthday parties for my friends and boyfriend in the future. wheee. I am also looking forward to my 21st birthday party, preferably at a chalet with a gigantic cake and lotsa friends and family and not forgetting the mountainous pile of presents cum surprises I will receive.

Yep but if I am going to organize a party, where can I hold it at? And who should I invite? It's too late to book some chalet at this peak season. Alright shall not be too ambitious. Forget about the christmas party. What about a christmas dinner at perhaps Cafe Cartel? With gift exchange? Sounds more simple and feasible. But another problem I will encounter if where do I get the revenue for my presents. I am broke remember? There will be a way la. At most I hand-make the presents lor =p

Hmmm maybe I can organize two christmas dinners. One for my friends, and one for my brother and his friends. I know majority of his friends so no problem. Yea feeling so excited now. I just love shopping for presents. And talking about that, I dont like to go on special shopping trips just to get presents. I like to walk about the shopping mall leisurely then suddenly when I see something that reminds me of somebody then I will get it as presents. Interesting yea? yea I'm loving it too.

Alright I just hope that the above wont be some empty talk and would really be put into actions. The most tricky and troublesome issue of all is to find a common date for everyone to make it la. grr. there'll be a way, definitely.

it's a blessing to give than to receive.

Telematch Dry Run at Mt Sinai Campus

I was supposed to meet Peixin at Alj stn at 9am before taking the train to Buona Vista together but she only woke up after I gave her a morning call upon reaching the stn. LOL but I managed to get on the same train as Shu Min and so yea we chatted on the train.

The train ride was 33 minutes long. 12 stops from Aljunied. Not very used to it. I told my dad to fetch me to the mrt station only though he offered to give me a ride to the Mt Sinai Campus. Cos I wanted to get a feel of how is it like to take a train to school early in the morning.

The earlier part of dry run was pretty boring. But the game station with the obstacle course and blindfolded people made me lose my voice. Grr all thanks to those distractors. You know who you are >< evil people.

The apple-passing game was fun! That's the one I enjoyed the most I guess. Perhaps cos I was pretty good at passing the pieces of apple. I didnt drop any at all! (: The guy team beside us was super funny. And my team gradually won the game, after overcoming all sorts of distractions. we rock!

There was this other game called Water War. From the name itself, one can foresee the danger of getting wet. Shu Min and I were the defenders for our team's pail of water. And then opponents were like charging at us to steal our water, and when not successful, the water got spilled over both of us. Actually I was the one who got wet first, all thanks to Shu Min's smart way of hitting Ping Yen's cup lol. Yea lotsa water-splashing and screaming (that was me). Both Shu Min and I were drenched. Still got Meng Shuen who came over and kicked our pail. Waha I know le. The dent in our pail must be made by him! But I cannot splash him back la, he's injured so I cant possibly bully him. Fang Ming and Joanne also kept targeting our pail of water too. Shu Min and I must have looked too-easy-to-be-bullied. LOL at the end of the game, we won. Must be due to Huang Lin and June's hiong-ness hehe. and Shu Min and I took revenge at those people like jm and colin who had fun making both of us drenched! thanks arh ><

Yea so we were wet and so we continued to play 'Bouncy Nemo' in the rain with wet chairs. It was kinda hard to bounce and I was not really sitting on the chairs.

On the whole, today's telematch dry run was fun. And it was not dry at all, all of us got wet and happy (: The train ride back home was tiring. There will be another dry run next week but I cant make it, will be at an overnight service learning camp organized by SVC.

Going to gym with Shu Min, Fang Ming, Huang Lin and Qian Bing tomorrow. I want to try the weight-lifting machines. After all the fat-talk with them today, I think I am very fat lol. It's time to go on a diet. Seriously seriously. But I always say but no constructive actions taken. aw sad. Actions are always harder than words. hee.

my december holidays are going to be really really packed. I am praying hard that the agency attachments after the service learning camp will only be in the morning and afternoon. Then at least I still have the evening and night to play... And there's the SPH Conservation Ambassadors workshop this thursday and friday. Excited. But it's gonna burn another hole in my wallet. $20 for the workshop. It will go to the Wildlife Conservation Fund. So at least it's for a good cause.

alright that's all for now. enjoy your holidays and remember to smile always, cos you'll never know who is falling in love with that beautiful smile of yours (: cheers.

Fish Leong's Concert at Expo

Attended Fish Leong's concert with Shu Min, Wenxiang, Boon Kian and their friends yesterday. Rushed like crazy from expo mrt stn to the max pavilion. We got pretty good seats and yea were pretty high. The concert only started at 430pm lor. Wenxiang even bought lightsticks then Shu Min and I took quite a few.

The concert rocks. Fish Leong rocks too. I can be considered her fan now I suppose. And Shu Min and I and Wenxiang's friends perhaps were amazed by how high Wenxiang was during the concert. He was even higher after shaking Fish's right hand.


Then during the autograph session we went to get her autograph and he shook her left hand. lol Shu Min went off after the concert for her mom's birthday celebration. I also shook Fish's hand. Yep enjoyable day. The wait for the concert was long but I suppose it's worth it.

Boon Kian, Wen Xiang's friend, Wenxiang and Me (: Happily holding our autographed Fish Leong's CD

Yoga

Now on a lighter tone, I went for my nineth yoga lesson today and whoa lotsa power breathing. Was late for the class today but fortunately they started with the chanting which me and Qian Bing learnt before so no problem (;

Then we did lotsa stretching too. And I felt so refreshed after the lesson, jus a bit of heartache though. Cos I had to pay another $120 for another 8 lessons. Big hole in my wallet. I am quite broke now since I have to pay for hip hop lessons tomorrow... But I am too egotistical to ask for my weekly allowance. dammit.

Anyway I borrowed some books on yoga from the library last friday. So dont be surprised if I start quoting some information about yoga here =D Anyway yoga is really good. Go borrow some books on yoga or take up yoga lessons. whee find me if you're interested (:

For now I am going to quote something that Erika said during the class today.

'Life is not just about living, it's also about giving and RECEIVING.'

That's true. And sometimes when you dont receive, you're afraid to give. Or rather, sometimes you try to obsess yourself with giving so that you get numb and won't bother about receiving. I am one of the above two types. Which? For me to know and for you to guess lor.

Hmm some things that Erika said during the yoga class can be just so thought-provoking. And she praised Qian Bing and I today. Said that we've improved ^^ of cos, how can we not when there's such a good teacher like her.

There's telematch dry run tomorrow and I have not gone through the proposal yet. Sheesh. I will go through it later. ah procrastinating yet again. just once more this time =S

Sometimes I miss the past, sometimes I look forward to the future. But I rarely treasure the present. And the present will soon become a past. I should have treasured the present years back. I should have, I really should have. It's too late to regret. too late.

Grr

Dammit ><

my fragile heart is broken yet again. Why are parents so generous with their scoldings yet so STINGY with their compliments?! Why?! It's so freaking thought-provoking after reading the comprehension passage for HCL O's. And yea it's so freaking true.

I got scolded with cruelty just cos I spilled some freaking soup. As if like it's freakingly my fault la. Accidents happen. wdh.

Nothing lasts forever, that I choose to believe from this very moment onwards. No doubt it's a blessing to love and TO BE LOVED.

It's not good to be so anguish. Luckily I calmed myself down by doing deep breathing which I learnt from yoga.

missing you so much that i don't know what to do
I'll always look back
As I walk away
This memory
Will last for eternity
And all of our tears
Will be lost in the rain
When I've found my way
Back to your arms again
But until that day
You know you are
The king of my heart
I regret

but it's too late.

Random

Some things are not meant to be remembered.

Some things are better being forgotton.

Some things are not meant to be.

Some things are better left unknown.

There's no need to dig out the past.

There's no need to look back.

For it's already the past.

The more you look back, the more regrets you collect.

Let bygones be bygones

& let you remain as a prick in my heart.

A prick that is harmless when left alone.

Yet can be fatal if trifled with.

you'll never know

Busy Days

grr argh grr. I am so irritated. Samsung is going to produce a series of SGH-E900 in stylish, smart, COLOURED casing leh. omg. I dont deny that my phone is nice in classy black but well, I like colourful thingy. how irritating.

took a bunch of p6 kiddos including my brother to Escape yesterday. I didnt intend to enter the theme park but somehow I got pyscho-ed into entering. And whoa it was a whole day of fun, joy and laughter. Not to mention the scorching hot sun plus the long waiting hours for each ride. I had to go off half way to SVC office at Highland Road. I had a tough time finding the place. Thankfully, there was this friendly clerk in the office who gave me directions and even called to find out if I was still lost. waha.

Then I rushed back to Pasir Ris and had dinner with my brother at Cavana and then 5 of us proceeded to Bugis for some neoprints-taking. It was fun, seriously. I feel so young all over again, after interacting with these juniors. Especially the only other girl besides me. Waha Crystal. Pretty and kawaii. Really like her very much. Yep fellow gemini. How I wish I could have a younger sister like her.

Alright and today, went to volunteer my service at this child care centre in hougang. I actually missed the stop to the centre and had to backtrack a really long way back. Seriously, what's wrong with my sense of direction and alertness these days. And I had a hard time finding Yun Yin and she had a tough time finding me too. lol

But we still managed to find each other in the end. Interacting with the primary school children at the centre was fun too. And some of them are just so adorable. Once they get to know you, they will start calling you 'jie jie' affectionately. how sweet. Yea i felt so loved.

My love for children has rekindled. Not that I detest them. But I like them even more now and look forward to working with more children in the future. I am also looking forward to more outings with my brother and his classmates, though I may be kinda extra but well I'm loving it =p

Anyway the funny thing that happened today was that there was this p5 boy at the centre who found me familiar-looking the first second he saw me. Cos I was walking around and looking at what they were playing/doing. Then after a while, I found him familiar too. Then he started telling me when he met me and all. But I cant remember at all when I met him. I've almost used up all my brain juices and exhausted my brain jus by trying to recall when and where did I meet this boy. Seriously he looked way too familiar.

I didnt go for my yoga class today. The spring cleaning made me all giddy and I suffered from this on-and-off- headache. Felt so refreshed after my bath. Yea and I am gonna get my laptop back tomorrow. whee how exciting.

It rocks, leading such a fulfilling life with so many adorable children around you.

Disappointed

I was so pissed off just now by fm 933 radio station la. Cos they shortened my dedication letter and didnt read out the names of about a dozen of my friends. grr. Fortunately I didnt notify too many people about the dedication. And I waited over one hour for this short dedication that could've been jus sent in by sms.

And the thing is they didnt play the song that I wrote to dedicate. They played some other weird songs. And when some people smsed in to dedicate song, they played the song requested. how irritating. And the DJ is not my beloved jiahui. I am definitely going to write in again this holidays, preferably during a weekday. heh. All the song dedications tonight were practically rushed through by the DJ. freakish.

Anyway,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DEAREST DARLING YI LING!
love you loads. sistas forever~

YL's Bday Celebration

Returned home from chalet today. Took bus 12 with Hong Yi and Eileen but I was the last to alight at Bugis then took bus 80 back home. I was on the verge of falling asleep on the bus cos the bus journey was simply too long and intolerable.

Watched 1 episode of Goong before going to City Hall to meet the girls. And we threw an early birthday party there for our dearest beloved Yi Ling. waha and we were lucky enough to hear an announcement regarding some evacuation then we evacuated to Starbucks at Suntec waha. Bought an ice blended toffeenut latte... Regular. I always get the regular serving which is like so expensive. There were lotsa phototaking at Starbucks and yea I will post photos up here soon.

There's graduation ceremony tomorrow at dhs campus. And hafta meet the guys for POH Mtg at ymca in the evening to prepare for our booth at the prize giving ceremony next saturday. Waha Fish Leong's concert's next saturday too...

Just checked out fm933 website. Found out that there's this DeeJay camp in december but I cant go! Cos I have this Youth Volunteer Involvement Prog training camp organized by Student Volunteer Corps. Hmm another time perhaps. One thing at a time. Greed is no good =p

Read up about 'Rising Signs'. Interesting... check it out.
http://astrocenter.astrology.msn.com/msn/ArticleAstrologyHome.aspx?sd=20060919

think it's pretty true. yea ohya do tune in to fm933 tomorrow night from 9pm to around 10pm for a song dedication from me to my friends (: I may have left out some names though cos I was in a rush to send the letter so that it can be read out in time. yep. I seriously think I need to whip up a list of resolutions for myself. And it's time I go on a diet. hee.

if not now, when?

Class Chalet

woohoo. Woke up early and indulge in the sugar crackers for my breakfast. Then something happened, my house's metal door is spoilt! oh no. but it still can be locked, fortunately. Otherwise it would be too dangerous for my grandmother and brother to be at home.

Shu Min and Ying Qing should be reaching soon for sandwich making. And I just received a call from my cousin regarding this job that he found for me. It's not a part time job, more of a full time for the whole of December holidays. Actually my december holidays are packed with volunteering activities. But the job is pretty slack and the pay's attractive lol. when did i become so money minded. anyway yea have to give him an answer really soon. Cos according to him, it's a very hot job, a lot of people want it. yep yep.

i shall consider bah. And decide asap. More volunteering experience or working experience plus money?

just 16 with so much worries. but apparently these worries are brought upon by myself =p

Ms and Mr Teen Environment 2006

Congrats. Congrats. Congrats to Xue Ling and Zi Ren. wheee. Ms And Mr Teen Environment! Wahaha next time CSC has any functions, can invite them to be ambassadors (:

The rehearsal yesterday was no doubt tiring. Today was better but still as tiring due to the long hours. But thankfully there's catered food, though it did not taste very good. Yea so yep.

Tomorrow's 4J class chalet. Finally~! Went to Sheng Siong beside Lion City Hotel with Huang Lin, Jess, Kenny and YQ to get cheap food stuff for tomorrow's night bbq. Then cos we need to get eggs to make sandwiches, I called my dad to fetch me home and most of the frozen food stuff were sent back in my dad's car.

Yea I've finished packing my 'luggage' for tomorrow. Still undecided if I should bring my sleeping bag and piglet. hee. Twin and yq will be coming over to make sandwiches before my dad brings us to the chalet to check in. Ah gonna trouble my parents again.

ohya they finally sent my laptop for servicing WHEE. yay yay yay. despite my excitement for the arrival of class chalet, i still feel quite sian. after class chalet will be graduation day then 2D04 chalet... then more volunteering stuff plus yoga and maybe even dance classes muhahaha.

tell you what, this is the most busy-until-happy and fulfilling holidays I have ever had in my whole 16-year life. And I look forward to 2007... July, my godsis will be coming from Nanjing. Ah ha. this is called far-sightedness =D

i'm loving it.

And for you, this means both giving and receiving little touches.Warm hearted, you bond with people easily. In fact, you often feel a little sad when you're not in the company of others.A little moody, you tend to be controlled by your emotions. But a bit hug always comforts you!

Highly inspirational, you can lead merely by your own example.You have an inborn inner strength and awareness that helps you advise others.Although you have what it takes for a successful career, you belong outside the business world.
Overly sensitive and temperamental, you tend to have a lot of nervous tension.You dream a lot, so much so that you may be more of a dreamer than a doer.Fantasy and reality tend to get intermingled for you, and that leads to impracticality.
lol this reads me like a book. what else can i say.

I want a DVD Player

I've calmed down somehow. I was so fuming mad jus now. Dammit look at my tagboard. I was like venting my anger there. Nonsensical crap.

Yea I want a DVD player badly la. And my parents refused to get it for me. What's the point of borrowing DVDs from my friends without being able to view them. This lousy computer cannot even play them. My laptop has not even been sent for repair service. My camera is spoilt for goodness sake. And tell you what, I AM SO TEMPTED TO SELL MY VERY-GOOD HANDPHONE. It's too good for me so I might as well sell it.

Yea i am tempted but I will not do so. Why should I be angry with myself. crazy freakish arsehole. bleah bleah bleah. I am trying hard not to scold vulgarities cos I hate people doing now. Apparently my anger is too overwhelming.

DVD players are like so cheap la. Combined DVD and VCD players cost less than 100 bucks so what's the problem man? If I didnt plan to get a digi cam I wouldnt have been so bothered by it la.

I have decided to return the DVDs to my friends asap so that I wont feel like killing anyone when I see the dvds yet cant watch them. This is so frustrating. I've already tried my best to restrict myself from getting any DVDs/ VCDs from Poh Kim or any other shops. They are so hotselling now la. Grr. The only VCDs I have at home are Meteor Garden and MVP Valentine. I get so bored watching them cos I've watched them for dunno-how-many-times and I can narrate the whole plot to you with all the famous phrases used. Yea. The VCDs are almost disintegrating la.

I cant think properly now. I cant organize my thoughts. I cant make myself smile. I dont even feel like smiling. I cant even go for movies tomorrow. There's rehearsal for 4j class cip. My life dont rock.

If only year 5 orientation camp can continue for more days la. Then i can have my days filled with activities instead of doing nothing, and then staring at the stack of DVDs and feeling helpless. Reason being?

I CANT WATCH THEM.

I am thankful for these sorrows cos they make me human.

GMPS Community Day

I went back to GMPS for their Community Day fun fair this morning. Attended this concert at the hall. Not bad, my brother played guzheng for one of the performances. Then there was this performance by the champions of their Talent Quest. Two girls who sang really well. A Mandopop song (but I dunno the song name), incorporated with dance moves. Bravo, girls.

Then there was this funky hip hop dance by two lower primary girls. It wasn't fantastic la but the girls looked really cute and chubby hehe. Then it rained heavily and we had to get back home. Got to talk to quite a number of the teachers. And I spent ten dollars there and the funds will be donated to some elderly homes.

Ok and they distributed this postcard about Good Neighbour Day which is on 13 Nov. But I thought that day is World's Kindness Day? Ah anyway it's all about doing good deeds. No difference (:

Level camp ended last night with a finale dinner and everyone was dolled up. My attire wasn't exactly stunning. But pretty acceptable. The three-day level camp had ended, in the blink of an eye. I remembered not looking forward to it, feeling all sian. BUT, after the first day, I've been looking forward to the next 2 days of camp... despite feeling tired due to the late dismissal every night.

Day 1 of the camp:
did some team building games aka telematch. and also came up with cheers and nicknames for everyone. I initially nicknamed myself 'Twinklebell' which is somehow similar to my real name. But I became kinda 'extraa' cos there's no Peter Pan. Later I changed it to 'Pooh' and got myself another 4 family members, Eeyore (Jingwen), Tigger (Huanglin), Piglet (Sockhian) and Roo (Mun Yi). Then there's Spongebob and family, Pinky and the Brain, Lilo and stitch and Dori from Nemo. And tell you what, we have the best, cutest cheer ever in the universe =D Hi-5!

It was all high and enthu until the part where we had to break the paper with the egg protected by the straw. I wont go in-depth about it cos it's not exactly something to be proud about. And after reflecting about it, I felt ashamed and guilty. Whatever we do, it all comes back to the word 'Integrity'. That's basically what leadership is about. Yea that day we did something wrong. We were reckless. As a result we got labelled as 'cheaters'. BUT we owned up for our mistake. And we were determined not to repeat the mistake again. That's the spirit. That's HONESTY (: Hi-5 is made up of heroes and heroines.

Day 2 of Camp:
Most of the games organized by us were played on that day. And quite a few of the games required the tying of legs. And well my left foot got bruised really badly but the important thing is I had fun so it's worth the pain! =)

Went dragon boating just as the sky was turning dark, all ready for a downpour. But we went anyway. I felt giddy when I first stepped into the boat. whoa. haha. seasick. I sat on the left hand side of the boat so I am a left-rower or whatever la. I partnered with Xiu Li. After rowing to the middle of the Kallang Basin, we were told to sit on the side of the boat and rocked. It was so scary at first and obviously I screamed but managed to calm down after a while. We started to row near other boats and 'attacked' them but sea water was splashed all over us instead. And we had a race in the end.

Everyone was so drenched after the dragon-boating. Most of the girls just rinsed their hair and body under the tap then intended to change their clothes after returning to dhs campus. Halfway while walking back, we got caught in the heavy rain. wahaha then we had a picnic at some place with shelter. There's a Thai Village Restaurant there. We kinda feasted there and had a debriefing.

That night, the whole of Hi-5 skipped dinner to translate a song for our instructor, Siti. Actually we werent hungry la. hehe. Only ate fruits. Then we presented our song to her. We had a final debriefing and she gave us individual comments. Then she told us ghost stories. Eerie. And Mr Jason Ng almost scared us out of our wits cos he kept walking about haha. My left eye kept tearing during the debriefing. And it continued to tear after I went home. Must be becos too much sea water got into my eye. PAIN. But it seemed like the MV the Yuhan showed to us girls who went to her house that time for the movie marathon.

So yep it was kinda sad that the instructors will be leaving but all good things have to come to an end and that's one thing I cant understand and can hardly accept.

Day 3 of Camp:
AMAZING RACE! Fun but tiring. I felt quite sian and was quite quiet. In a 'cold' and dao mood. haha. And AMAZINGLY, Hi-5 won the amazing race! haha. Got $15 Borders Book Voucher. Whee! Did mass dance at Mt Sinai Campus before returning to dhs campus. Then changed and prepared for finale dinner. YY lent me her bracelet, very pretty bracelet. Ah loved it to bits haha and I forgot to return her. It has become a habit for me to wear bracelets. yep yep. I was amazed by the efforts put in by the committee to make the banner using the christmas light decorations. It totally rocks and looks romantic. waha.

The photo-video was quite long and there were some embarrassing shots of me dammit. but it can be seen that Mr Chia and Mr Biollo had put in alot of efforts, taking the photos and everything haha. did mass dance before having dinner. Was quite disappointed that we only danced once. I still can't get the front and back part but it's ok. I am starting to like the dance and enjoy myself.

Yep that's about it. Camp has ended but I have another 3-day of memories added for keepsake. Got to know my fellow dunmanians better too. And Congrats to the Camp King, Queen, Prince and Princess haha.

Cheers people. My current life rocks, despite all the bruises, aches, tanlines. LOL I got tanned leh! I'm loving it.

I have a movie date next monday... tuesday's class cip and wednesday to friday are class chalet's days! Whee. fun day. fun week. fulfilling life! (:

How true can this get

Msn Astrology: Gemini / This Week

Running from one thing to another will be your scenario. Monday you direct your attention to your own issues and desires. You may have to sift through a lot of missed emails, text messages and voice mails. You might be thinking along the lines of doing volunteer work, or lending your talents and abilities to an organization that would benefit from them. Saturday would be a great day to explore your options in that area. Sunday you and your romantic partner could run into a few difficulties, mainly due to the lack of time you have available for each other.

yea true. I directed my attention to shopping to my heart content at vivocity this afternoon. Great noon out with yiling and yunyin. Dusty and tiring morning spent in school to help with the packing of apparatus in science labs. yea I bought a tee from Mango just now. Branded leh. first time getting a shirt from there. But guess what, the shirt's not for myself. hee. it's for my haojiemei (:

One more day to go before level camp. Should I fear or look forward. no idea. My life's too busy to think about such insignifant emotions. LOL. But the teachers' efforts are really greatly appreciated. It's just me on that day... as in my mood that will impact my decision about whether the camp is great or not. Yea not to mention I have a presentation to do on Wednesday >< ah.

shall go and sleep. it's late. will be going to help with the packing in school tmr again. Ohya. An interesting bit, I went to school this morning and the security guard told me to exchange my ez link for a visitor pass after i told him that I was not taking any exams. erhem. what's the problem here. I was wearing dhs orientation yellow tee and dhs school skirt. so yea? And I definitely dont look like some potential terrorist. Ya la they are doing their jobs but sometimes it seems jus so nonsensical.

yea off to bed. night.

Interesting day out

Yea I was out for the whole day and it's a must to say that it has been an interesting day.

The only bummer would be that I didnt attend today's yoga class and that I suffered from mood swings at the beginning of the day. yep. made a few new discoveries today.

1. I met my pri sch schmate at the shop that sells buddhist stuff at bugis there. He didnt recognize me, neither did i recognize him but my mom recognizes him. We didnt call him though. I was getting fed up with my mom bargaining with the shop lady about the price of the radio that plays buddhist chanting.

2. There's actually this shopping centre called Beauty World Plaza and Bukit Timah Shopping Centre in Singapore. I didnt know about that. My dad took us there just now. Beauty World Plaza is simply some ulu shopping malll with closed shops and stagnant escalators. Bukit Timah Shopping Centre is not any better la. Not much to shop.

3. Went to IMM after random walking around the two malls mentioned above. I witnessed an overflowing toilet bowl after I entered the cubicle. Dammit. The person who used it previously was so inconsiderate la. Clogged the whole toilet bowl with toilet papers and when I attempted to flush it, water just flooded the whole toilet bowl gosh. I was so shocked can. I went to look for the toilet cleaner IMMEDIATELY. Yay I got rescued. What a bad experience.

4. I bought 3 pairs of ear studs for 5 bucks. Wahaha Ok this is not exactly a discovery.

5. Giant sells DVD players at prices as cheap as $59.90. I am gonna get my dad to buy one... wahaha.

6. Went Long beach for dinner then they served this really yummy dessert. Vanilla ice cream on some red porridge thingy. There were alot of part time staff who look like students.

7. Last but not the least, I caught a glimpse of this advertisement outside 'Scoops' and it is looking for part time staff! wheeee.

Alright so basically I went exploring Singapore with my maternal grandparents, mom, dad and Mini auntie. Fun and really pampered day. waha I am the youngest among the 6 ppl (: I love the feeling of being pampered la =p

Will be going to school with Yuhan, Peixin and others to help with the science labs. After which I will be going to explore Vivocity with Yunyin and Yiling. waha shop, eat, movies. I made up my mind to go to IMM again this holidays cos I didnt get to shop to my heart's content just now.

And now I have to go and work on the powerpoint for my presentation on CSC during yr4 level camp on wednesday. And the smu ppl havent send me the photos taken at Mutts 'n' Mittens Animal Shelter leh. Actually I havent heard from them since friday =.-

believe in yourself`

Which Breed of Dog I Am

Annabel, you're a Bernese Mountain Dog!

No bones about it, you're a good-hearted, people-loving Bernese Mountain Dog. Down-to-earth and loyal, no one works or plays harder than you do. You put your nose to the grindstone when it really counts, but you never neglect your social calendar. Simultaneously strong and sweet, you're very tuned-in to the feelings and needs of the other dogs you run with. Without having to be asked, you always have a helping paw to lend and a sympathetic shoulder to lean on. "Communication" is your middle name, and when that's paired with your unswerving devotion, you get a breed that everyone respects and trusts. Woof!

ah i am disappointed. I thought I would get 'Maltese' or 'Cocker Spaniel' . It's ok. but I will still get a 'Maltese' as a pet if I could.

Bored-est day ever

Yea today's the bored-est day ever... Grr almost bored to death la. Maybe cos I am used to being busy or used to having some things to do... like painting at the animal shelter, shopping, going around Singapore and crap I am home the whole day today with nothing to do.

I woke up and had a filling breakfast... Then I watched one Meteor Garden VCD, yea I know it's outdated but I dont have other vcds which is like so pathetic. YY's going to lend me goong dvds soon. And I think I will go get some korean or taiwanese dramas to kill my boredom though I am kinda reluctant to spend money on vcds. My brother hogged the computer since morning... so I cant watch korean dramas on youtube as well.

I read the novel that YY lent me, na xiao zi zhen shuai. I think the front part is kinda boring cos I got bored after reading a part of it. Wanted to browse through the buddhist magazine that my parents subscribed to then I went to reply two of the letters from my pri sch classmates. Then I watched tv. I ate a lot too and I had a bad running nose. dammit.

May not be going for yoga tomorrow... cos I'll be going to my grandparents house. Havent visited them for a long long time. I have thought about it. I should go do some volunteer work on saturdays like these instead of wasting my life away.

Geminis hate doing nothing. Ohya it's been a while since I have analysed horoscopes. I need to tidy my room too.

ah I hope no one reads this entry. It's so boring. Well my life's boring. Sianzation. It's been quite awhile since I last used that word.

I need some interesting things to spice up my life for goodness sake.

Life, to be worthy of a rational being, must always be in progression.

Camera officially spoilt

My digital camera can officially be declared to be spoilt. Since yesterday, it has been having this focusing problem with the lens. dammit.

I am so irritated by the 'di di di' sound to alert me about the focusing error. grr. Anyway I have been in a grumpy mood since yesterday. Perhaps it's the scorching sun, perhaps it's the wet rainy day. But I've still enjoyed myself at the Mutts 'n' Mittens Animal Shelter.

The CIP started on Wed and the reporting time of the volunteers almost pissed me off. But it was better yesterday. Yep. Since Ms Tan put me in charge of this CIP, I made it a point to NOT BE LATE. So I left my house at around 11.15am every day and that includes today. And I will reach Pasir Ris at around 11.45am. Whee if I maintain this, I would have gotten rid of my very bad habit of being late.

I dont really like to come online these days. Bored. But I am online now because I had to help my dad email some photos to his client and so I might as well blog.

I love daisies these days. Cos they are my birthday flower and I realise that they are pretty and pure. And they symbolise hidden love.

I feel good taking initiative to help. And I should take more initiative these days. Yep.

I learnt how to wax a car last night (: It's pretty easy la, just like wiping a table after spraying water =S

And now I have to go get ready to go for the cip at the animal shelter. Today's the last day of the CIP but those who want to continue volunteering can do so, I think I will be doing so.

One more thing, I am starting to love animals LOADS.

i have a red, burnt nose. No wonder I smelt something burning yesterday when I was painting the animal shelter. doh.
