haven't posted 4 a long tym!!! i dont really think i have any thing interesting 2 share. moving house @ the moment. im really gonna miss walking home with Robyn and Peiwen. i really dont want to think abt taking a bus to skl every morning!! and wake up earlier than usual!!! the thing it that i take 1h15min to get ready!! skl starts at 7.20!!!!!!
dad said that i could choose the paint for my room. i chose black........ but he said that it was too dark!!!!! i dont know wat 2 do!!!! new hose is near the library!!!! speaking of library, im the new head librarian in skl!! dad had started sending me for A-math tuition which totally sucks!! i never open my mouth in class. went 2 watch Pirates Of The Carribean with Peiwen and Robyn this week. we had to rush to the theatre after skl cuz the movie was supposed to start at about 3. and skl only ends at 2.50. man it was soooooo cool! jack rocked. but wat really pissed me off was the part where liz cuffed sparrows hand!!! peiwen was so disgusted. she does not want us to talk abt the movie. (she really does not like slimy and dirty things!). on this particular friday we were told to clear the under side of our desks so peiwen carried this whole bunch of worksheets with her while i stuffed every thing into my bag. we were walking home together that day. so as usual i borrowed some cuz of the sun. the next day when robyn and i went to her house i saw the same pile of worksheets strewn on the floor of her room! i just could not stop myself from laughing!!!

some peep i know forwarded this mail to me... found it really funny

How US mass-media story is made

A man was taking a walk in Central park in New York. Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit-bull dog.

He ran over and starts fighting with the dog.

He succeeded in saving the girl's life but in the process killed the dog.

A policeman who was carefully watching the scene from a distance walked over and said:

"You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers:

‘Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl’.

" The man said, "But I am not a New Yorker!"

"Oh, then it will say in newspapers in the morning:

'Brave American saves life of little girl'", the policeman answered.

"But I am not an American!” said the man.

"Oh, what are you then?"

The man said, "I am a Saudi!"

The next day the newspapers read:

‘Islamic extremist kills innocent American dog’
no time to blog *sigh*

Ok...I just don’t know where to start... Kz last Thursday we threw a party 4 Edha in the art room (yes the art club pupils threw it) Xinyi and Chun ling from comp club played a part 2oo. All went well. Bahia and Sam came too! Only Edhas’ friends from other CCAs were allowed... i hope there were no gatecrashers. Mr. Heng and Mr. Goh came... (I know they r teachers... but never mind) later we did some crazy things (as we always do) went cat walking in the corridors (forgetting about the cc TV again) did some imitations of Marilyn Monroe...talking rot... taking funny pics and video clips. Dancing and singing like mad. Actually we were supposed 2 b in the art room.... hehehe!!! On Friday her class threw a party for her. Heard that a Kimberly went. She does not even know who Edha is! (Kimberly is from my class. She is disgusting! I always stand at least 2 feet away from her. She sucks up to sports people. Peels the skin on her fingers orally! Evelyn and I saw her doing that even after digging her ears!!! How disgusting is that!) Then on Sunday we threw a surprise farewell party for Edha and a birthday party for Bahia. Had a grrrreat time!!! Didn’t know how to take a bus so had to take a cab. I got cheated buy the taxi guy!!!! It should only cost about $8 but I had to pay about $15 to go there. Then paid about $10 for the return journey from tampines interchange cuz I didn’t know how 2 take a bus from there too!!! Dad said I was hopeless. Then there was learning journey on Tuesday. We went to the Mosque, St Andrews cathedral, Sri Mari Amman temple and a Sikh temple near SGH. My only regret was that we didn’t get to eat in the Sikh kitchen. The food smelt so good! After the trip Chun, Sam and I took a cab from school and went to Changi airport to see Edha off. After we arrived at the airport (in our school uniform) we had dinner with Edha and the rest of the group who had arrived earlier. Julia came well prepared (with 3 packets of tissues). Then after dinner we were looking for Edhas family. Just then dad called. He wanted to see Edha and say bye to her so I faced the camera to her. Then saw that he was in my cousins’ house my aunt was smiling at me… which totally caught me off guard cuz u don’t really good in video calls. Then we caught up with Edhas family. My friends thought it was time to say good-bye. Just then Edha was like “ guys I’m not leaving yet. Thats their gang, you are my gang.” So we went to burger king and talked for a long time. Suddenly I started to cry. I couldn’t stand the fact that Edhas was going away. Then somehow managed to stop. I kept on getting calls from dad. Then it was time for her to leave. I could no longer control my tears; I started to cry, then Bahia. We all waved to her like mad. Then it was time for us to go. We were waiting for the sky train when suddenly Julia’s phone started to ring. It was Edha. We all spoke to her. Julia who has put on a brave front started to cry too. Bahia faced the wall so that nobody could see her. The people who were waiting for the sky train stared at us. Then Bahia, Hui Min and I took the MRT Bahia and I just couldn’t control our tears. Hui Min consoled us. Then my stop came, I stepped out of the train and there was my dad waiting for me just as he promised. If he wasn’t there waiting for me I would most probably have fainted. I mean, I don’t know how to go home from the MRTstation!! Then on the way home dad bought some fast food. Then I went home and looked at the mirror as I always do only to realize that I was a disaster with red nose, flushed cheeks and red eyes. No time to blog about the rest… bye!

MY BLOG IS NOT DEAD!! Ok, just a little bit... everybodys talking about how they will miss Miss. Candice Goh(atleast the ones in my class) Our A-Math teacher is gonna return next week(was on maternity leave) IMrs Chan is not teaching us chem anymore, its Mr Goh(trainee teacher). There's a trainee teacher teaching us for e-math too!(Mr Heng) Mr Heng has been a teacher before. It was years ago.

did u know
Epsom salts, applied in a paste, will draw toxins
from insect stings and bring splinters to the skin's
surface.
*Add a teaspoon of Epsom salts to half a glass of
warm water and rub your skin with the solution to
dislodge blackheads, cleanse, open pores and
freshen skin.
*It draws out lactic acid,which contributes to
aching muscles.
*It will reduce sprains and bruises.
*Epsom salt solution draws fluid out of the
body and helps to shrink swollen tissues.


pimples

everybody hates pimples(its my arch enemy).

Tooth paste really helps. Its cheap and good but don't
leave it for more than 5 minutes or else it will
look as if u peeled it. Im sure you don't want the
peeled up look.

You can also dry up pimples. All you need to
do is to crush an aspirin and add a bit of water.
Apply it on your pimple and then wash it off
after a few seconds. It will relieve the sting
and reduce the redness.

makeup remover
I know we run out of makeup remover very
often. Do you know that a dab of shortening
can be a good makeup remover for emergencies.

im grounded! the only day i can do anything i like is on friday!( no T.V., no com, no books no nothing!) life sux to the core. edha told me she might migrate to australia this year(which obviously made me cry right in front of her). nywaez, today she said shes not,so, yyaaaaaaayy! i can only do the things i like on friday! i LOVE fridays! my friends really didnt ask y i am being grounded(cuz they know that i must have done somethin wrong(which i do 99% of the time) im the so called "bad girl" of sl society. but never mind that i have loads of home work to do this march break. all the sub except chem (mrs chan forgot*evil laughter*) we learnt the 2 dances for the 'u know wat'. sam's my partner =D. last year we did salsa and chacha (am i rit sl?) dancing is fun!!! i loooooooveee it! the inter class cheer leading competition's next week! last year our class clinched the championship. 2e1(2005) rox. ive started playing maplestory! it rox!

why? what happened to this school? stupid tests n CAs!

i dont even have time to breathe! why cant we just have 4 major examinations! why cant we have mid year examination instead of CAs EVERY SINGLE WEEK! isnt 1 CA not enough to kill us? why more than 2 CAs per week?! if that is not bad enough, we have formative tests every week! and i dont even need to mention about the spring tests springing out of nowhere. why does the school bombard us with these things! i cant even go for recess in peace! i am still not used to these changes! if they have more than 2 CAs every single week (not to mention the formative tests and spring tests) how are we supposed to study for the tests propperly!

black friday

ya, i know its 'that' day............. lot of bad stuffs happen to you. yesterday it after art club ended it was raining and i had no umbrella. i walked home in the rain...i was freezing and by the time i went home i was soaking wet....today i did not want 2 take any chances so i took my umbrella and wore my 'make-me-hot'(the past few days were cold).... but unfortunately 2day was hot and humid!!!! i had to stuff the thing inside my bag! together with my t-shirt & trackpants(p.e.). then i had to carry three of my giant text books strapped with a book-strap. after school i went to the kindergarten, where edhas mom was the head, to paint a mural for C.I.P.. i did not bring anything to protect myself from the paint. i should have brought my shorts along but i forgot about the whole thing so when i was there i borrowed edhas apron. then the whole thing ended at about 5 and boarded a bus from there to go to the interchange then i took another bus from there to go home. when i reached home it was about 7.15pm! my mom thought i was lost or something. (mom's always like that.) (actually i dont know how to take a bus i had 2 ask my friends to explain it to me a thousand times*blush*) ive had only 2 A-math lessons so far and there is a test next week!!! the other students more A-math lessons than us!!!! the new math teacher mr chia is verry, verry, verry, boring. hes the worst teacher ive got this yr. the rest are super-good! .......lalala

skooooooooooool!!!

man im gonna b dead soooooon... i mean really really soon....... and i wish it will b a fast process. our combined humanities (social studies & history) teacher, mdm. hamidah, came into the class(it was our first lesson with her.) she started asking us why we chose this combinatin of all the others......and also said that this was the most difficult combination!!!!!!!! (my sis took geog&socialstudies)(social studies is compulsary)(combined humans is compulsary)(we get to choose between lit,history&geog) why on earth did i choose history!!!!! (only 8 peeps in the whole skl chose core history!!!) i should have taken lit instead im much much much beter at lit compared to history. history is not like u read-the- book-and-puke-it-all-out-in-the-exams-kinda thing.....she said, ' if u found last yrs history challenging, be prepared, cuz this yrs gonna b even more.....' then,' i have never taught the lower secondary sudents b4. u r in sec 3. no childish behaviour will be tollerated in this class!!'...'every body is to b focussed in class and pay attention and..... (blah blah) that also includes ur sitting posture!!!' and everybody started to sit straight....'nobody does well in....with just intelligence! u need determination and dicipline as well.....' then she started showing us these rules on the visualizer
1.allways take lessons and assignments seriously and positively. remember the school vission and values.(then she said,'we must continue 2 get the best students!! we have to fight 2 do well! the competition is verry stiff, we have to work hard!....)
2.allways contribute during lessons through the following:
*have the required bks(text bks&work bks)&handouts during class.(books borrowed or loned will be confiscated)
*read the pages on topics indicatied by the teacher in advance as a pre-lesson preparation.
*participate actively and meaningfully in group and discussion(she said,'any distractions, u know u r in trouble...i will not hessitate to throw anyone out of the class!')
*allways the best effort in written assignments. hand in on time in presentable quality."BEST EFFORT"(she said that she will tear our assignment if its below our standard... and if we cant do well we musnt b in this school...)
4.have a paper filing system;a component of ca will be filing'
there r also someNOTES. LATER......to be continued....
