The monday blues

Omigosh, school is so so so boring!! But its the friends that makes things more fun :)

And hurrah! To the fact that i end school at 2pm today. Which is considered to be early. If not i'd drop dead in school.

If someone asks me what i am going to do after school, the reply would be the same. And that is, "I want to get home and sleep! Hehehe."

You know, during boring lessons i'd always be staring at the clock, and counting down till the end of the lesson. I miss secondary school lessons so much. I mean its like lessons can be fun. But now.... Total boredomness to the maxzxzxz!! (Until i want to sleep and dream which is even more entertaining, because some dreams can be really silly! Hahahaha) I wouldn't want to elaborate on that. Maybe i will, but perhaps on some other day.

And i had this maths test today of differentiation. 2 questions only. I think i'm so going to flunk it. I suck at math. Gahh. Whatever. All i want to do now is slack and slack. Sighhhhh.

In reality, that would be impossible. Because i have homework! And tests! RAWR.

Its like every morning, i wake up. And i think, its morning already! So fast!! I still want to sleep. But i still drag myself out of bed, every single day and take a shower before heading over to school.

I seriously don't really know what to blog about. Like i said, everything's boring. Maybe its the monday blues eh? Or maybe its because i've enjoyed too much over the weekend-which i have never failed to do *MWAHAHHAHA* Yup, i know how to enjoy life. But soo lazy when it comes down to work.

*SLAPS OWNSELF*

Note to self: I have to stop this procrastination thingy. If not i'd end up at square one again. I don't want that!!!! Its miserable/depressing/sad/emo-like/*insert words with similar meanings here*

With this i shall end here, and i shall go and take a nap and sleep all the way till the next day.

I'm just kidding, i'd be a pig if i were to do that! And i'm not :P

Ciao.

*Sometimes, its not that i don't want to say it out. Its because... i'm afraid. So its best not to mention what i'm thinking of, i guess? I hate me when i can't fake emotions out. I'll assure you one thing though. You will get to know eventually.
I promise.

Recent "LALALAS"

Well well, its been such a long time since i've been blogging.

Hmm, this week is quite hectic and tiring :(

I don't think its only this week that's going to be like this.

Its going to be like this for every single day, and month until the A Levels.

I could go on ranting on and on. But i won't.

Yesterday i also went back to Regent and met up with some 4/9 people to go and collect our O Level certificate. It seems that everyone is still the same, still doing fine and all that.

And yeah, i'll tell you something shocking.

I think i'm actually interested in chinese lessons. I mean, the stories inside the textbook were actually quite nice to read. I'm finally starting to appreciate chinese. (Dad will be happy about this eh?) But really! Its like some feelings can be better/stronger expressed in chinese.

Okay now i really don't know what to talk about. Life's going to become a rut pretty soon. Week after week, i'm going through the exact same stuffs :(

And i also have this very good best-est best friend, called "slim" aka zhi chao. I thank God for zhi chao because its a big big blessing ;D

This week, mummy also went to Vietnam on a sponsored trip. And she says when i'm 18, i should also join in the company :/ I shall think about that. Because, i will be turning 18 next year.

Oh wait, *snaps back to reality* why am i already mentioning 18 when i'm not even anywhere near turning 17 years old? How silly of me. I shall be coming back to this topic in another year's time.

Moving on, i have quite a number of tests coming up next week T.T!!

Looks like i shall have lots of mugging to do. Jiayou me!

And i hope i have a delectable yummy-licious lunch tomorrow, because i would be able to blog about it, and hopefully make your stomach suddenly crave for food too :D

Happy happy sunday :)

Yesterday was an enjoyable sunday! Felt really satisfied, hehe! I was like out for the whole day.

For lunch, we went to eat at Earle's Swensens at the Airport's Terminal 3. For me it was the first time, and i must say i'm really impressed. While waiting for the table there's this waitress that talked to us, such friendliness. Its not that fake kind you know. Really nice service. I'll definitely be back :) Hmm this Swensens is different in one bit, which is they have a larger variety of dishes to choose from, and they still have the yummy-licious ice cream!

I soo want to go back there and eat again :D

I shared my dish with Jes, Baked chicken rice if i'm not wrong :/ But it was nice.

And the rest ordered their food. Irene's fish and chips weren't that bad either. I think Edi's steak was nice too though. HAHHAH!

And then comes the dessert. Which is the most important aspect of the meal. HEHEHHEHE! I mean yeah, why should i go and eat at Swensens without the ice-cream? It would be such a big waste XD

I shared my dessert with Irene, cos' it was huge! And i really liked it alot. As you can see, there are many layers present. My favourite was the caramel one. But Irene didn't like it cos' she said it was too sweet. Its still to my liking (I have a sweet tooth :P) And and and the best part is it had lots of nuts! <3

And we walked around for a bit.

With mummy :D

Plus after the lunch, its not over yet. We went shopping at Raffles place shopping centre! While dad went home *Mwahahhah* So its all of us girls. I bought quite a number of stuffs including a pair of running shoes and tops. But i've yet to find a nice pair of shoes :/

Anyway, we came home really late. Like around 8.30pm and we still haven't eaten for dinner.

Its been such a long time since i've been out on Sunday till very late. So that could explain why it was satisfying yesterday. Maybe its because mummy's back too ^^

And can you believe that when shopping i even forgot i have school the next day :X See how much i am enjoying? Hehehe.

The bad thing of being out until late is that i'll still end up being tired the next morning and want to laze around before i really get out of bed.

Yeah, and i went to school today, such a humid day. Thank goodness i ended pretty early.

Today i also found out that i did the wrong essay for Economics. I was like "OMGGGGG... So much for having put so much effort into it" T.T So i still have to re-do the essay. Sighh. Its good that its due on thursday or else i'll be soo dead.

My economics teacher has such high expectations of us, pretty hard to keep to. But i must try :)

Okay then, i shall go get a start on the essay. I shall blog another time, ciao! ;D

Its a Good Friday indeed!

Happy Good Friday everyone! :)

Its a day-off for me and i feel super happy and satisfied.

The reason being i get to laze around and wake up pretty late :D

HAHHAH! But still, i have to get a few of my homework done and i did it!

And that is so UN-NAT-like of me. Cos' the usual me would procrastinate until the last minute and rush everything and the quality of the work is low. So this is a good habit to be practiced. I wonder how long i can keep up with this uh? :)

As mentioned, its Good Friday today! So i absolutely cannot leave it being spent slacking at home. Afterall, i've done all that is needed to be done. So i went out. With a friend of course. A very very very special friend whose name can't even be mentioned. Its... YOU KNOW WHO!

Finally, yes i mean finally! I get to see *ahemahem* after such a long time (:

And actually we wanted to go have ice-cream at this particular place which i've never been to before. So we had to take a bus there from Buona Vista MRT station. We waited and waited very very long, and the bus still hasn't come. Then until we couldn't wait because it was starting to get late. I didn't feel satisfied, so i went up to the board to check whether there could be another bus to reach there.

Until i saw something! Which is, the bus isn't available on Sundays or Public holidays! And today happens to be a Public holiday. My first reaction was "What the hell..... That means people living in that area have to take another means of transport to get there? That is soo inconvenient man."

At least now we know when we can or cannot go there.

So i suggested to go to IMM to walk around since i've never been there in ages. That place is much more "modernised", with new shops and all. But somehow i think something's missing somewhere. Aye heck! Who cares?

Its enough that at least i got to meet up. So i'm a happy girl today (:

Which of course, makes my Good Friday a really "good" one indeed!

Enjoy the long weekend everyone! ^_^

Just another day

It seems that i'm actually blogging again, now i think, for three days in a row. Good eh? So that if you happen to visit everyday there will be new content. Obviously, i can't be doing this all the time. There will be days whereby i shall be kept busy down by piles of homework.

Today there was nothing much i guess. Except that we had this an hour long plus plus of house meeting. And then i went for tennis.

As it was raining, we couldn't do proper training so the coach taught us some basic exercises. Pretty hard to keep up i say, as in, hmm i need more practice i guess >.< And for today's P.E. we measured our height and weight. And the teacher also did an introduction to the gym equipments. Guess what? My height is 158cm and weight is 42.8kg :O

OMG i didn't even know how on earth i managed to put on 1 kg of weight. It just popped outta nowhere man! As for my height, sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..

I still want to grow taller!!! :(

Since P.E. is like twice a week, and two days in a row, i still have to get another pair of shorts. Cos' i only have one of those straight-cut FBT shorts and another butterfly-cut which is not allowed. Too sexy to be worn i guess ;D

Hmmm, today's last lesson was Civics Tutorial classes (CT for short) and the module was about habits. If you were from Regent, remember the "7 Good habits of highly effective people book"?

And everyone of us in class had to share one bad habit and good habit of ours. What i shared was my good habit is actually sleeping early every night. By early i mean 10 o' clock :) And the bad habit is i tend to be disorganised when it comes to worksheets after i take them out of my file.

I tend to let it pile up :X HAHAHA! Its a pretty bad habit, cos' i find sometimes i have to look through a pile of worksheets again and again to find the one i'm looking for, and i'd be panicky when i don't find it.

I'm going to try and change that bad habit :) Go NAT!

Alright, i've done quite alot of typing here, gotta run back to studying later on after dinner.

Cos' i've set a new goal: Get into NTU's communication studies. Yet another popular course x_x But! I'll work even harder this time, cos' its like the last chance i'm ever going to have. Or i'll end up doing some job that i'm not passionate about.

So, until next time then :)

More more and more!

As usual, i have school today but i ended at 3pm instead :)

The chinese tutorial wasn't that bad as i thought it was going to be.

And the GP tutorial today was not that boring either. The teacher made the class very informal. So its kind of comfortable i guess. Another thing, he's kind of good looking too, thats a big plus :P Okay, back on topic. The GP teacher was actually from the first batch of PJC students. And he said he graduated from NUS, with a degree of Arts and Social sciences.

Alright, my purpose of listing out his degree is because i have intentions of taking that degree too. But i remember a few days back i think i asked my dad, with that degree, what career options i could have and guess what he said? He told me, oh, you can be a teacher. And then i thought, no way! I can't imagine me being a teacher. Can you? HAHHAHA. So i think i need to dig out more information. I kinda regretted not going to the NUS open house last weekend :/ Oh well, there's always a next year to look forward to.

For now, i'll just have to study on a REGULAR basis. And everything should turn out fine.

Its a good thing that Friday's a holiday! WOOHOO~ And i'll bet there would be homework to be done. Definitely there will be, i'm just hoping that whatever needs to be completed can be done in a couple of hours. Unlike that maths i was doing the previous sunday. The 5-6 hours of just doing 18 questions. It was absolutely horrendous.

For now, i think its like i'll forever be ranting on and on about studies. Can't help it ya? I'm going to be taking A Levels very soon and this is like the only avenue i can express most of my thoughts. The more personal ones aren't typed out though, lest there would be misunderstandings. And like i said, its personal so its not meant for it to be public unless i want it to be. So just to be on the safe side, it shall be kept up in my head then ^^

Tomorrow i shall be having this house meeting. I'm in the "Nobel House" and its represented as royal blue. Its interesting that they choose to put all the students in the same class into the same house. Maybe it saves time and effort too, when marking attendance for events such as sports day. So smart of them eh? Hmm, and besides that i also have tennis tomorrow and the coach is coming down.

I really hope the training wouldn't be tough. If not i shall become a dead nut. My stamina ain't really well built up. And of course, i won't just sit around making excuses for myself saying that i haven't got good stamina. I went out jogging yesterday at the canal with Edi and walked to lot 1 and then reached home only at 8 plus. LOL, maybe we went out a little too late.

Oh oh oh! Mum's going to be back home tonight too! Oh yeahhh! I'm excited. Because she always brings stuff back for us. HEHHEH, and duhh~ i miss her too. Its been such a long time since i've seen her.

I guess that's it for today. I shall be revising my stuff then, gotta work hard you know :)

Bye~ xoxo

Konnichiwa~!

First up, a band alumni picture and chalet pictures :D

Its another first day of school for me, after the March holidays. I finished school pretty early today, at 2pm. Unlike thurdays. Because then, i will end at 6pm T.T Poor me and those who also have days ending at 6pm.

I had to drag my butt out of bed this morning, i still felt so sleepy even though i slept quite early. Which was at 10pm last night.

I did, however, enjoy myself on the last day of holiday yesterday by having lunch with Dad and jes at New York New York. MMMMMMMM. Yummy meal. HEHHEHE.

And mum's going to fly back here from Jakarta tomorrow. YAY! :D

Today, they issued out the A Level question paper for Project work. Its a compulsory component which holds 10% of the university admission marks. There's only one chance to do it and get it right. Like, omg! I gotta do well for this man!

And i have to choose between two questions. One is about "Journey" and the other about "Modernisation" Both are very very complex x_x i hope i will be able to do well though.

Anyway, today's lessons were mainly tutorials, or what most of you would be familiar with, is that its classroom-style lessons. And i think i like it better than Mass Lectures. The teachers were pretty friendly too, SO FAR.

Ohhhh, and i have a chinese tutorial class tomorrow which i'm so not looking forward to :(

Sadly, i've got not much of a choice, because if i don't pass this A Level chinese at the end of the year, i wouldn't be able to get into a local university. Rawr!!

The weather has went cranky again. Now its super warm. Thank goodness it isn't humid, if not i'll be ranting on and on about the unbearable weather. I think no matter hot or cold, people will still complain. HAHAHA. That's always the case isn't it?

Sometimes, i don't know why i just want to slack and slack and slack and not do anything. Yeah, that includes studying. I need to find more motivation/encouragement/inspiration every single day.

Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

note to self: JIAYOU NAT! DON'T GIVE UP!

Holidays gone in a blink

Can you feel how fast time can fly past? It seems like only yesterday when i was blogging about how the holidays have arrived.

Now its gone. And i'm still a little unprepared about what i am about to face on monday.

Which is the big "S" word -STUDIES! :O And maybe the "A" word -A Levels.

And as you all know, an A Level certificate would bring me nowhere. I need to aim to get into a local university. I'm going to think about my goals and put them up somewhere in the house to look at everyday to remind myself.

Thank goodness i've completed majority of my homework, if not i tell you, i'd be dead by now.

Cos' later on i still have Japanese classes to attend. Maybe after that i'll finish them up and then i shall have an entire Sunday to enjoy for a little while :)

Last night, i went back to school to visit the band camp for a couple of hours. They had the confidence walk thingy and the Alumni went to join in and disturb the campers. If not it wouldn't be called the confidence walk right? I sure had fun disturbing them *MWAHAAHHAHHAHAH*

Then i went home already.

Anyway, two pictures to share, taken at the chalet.

More pictures are from Vanessa's blog, credit goes to her for them ^_^

Ciao, until next time :)

random thoughts?

I went back home from the chalet yesterday.

This time, the chalet didn't went as well as planned. Not many stayed overnight. Nevertheless, i still had my piece of fun.

I think the big spoiler was the stupid weather. The rain kept on pouring on and on as if it can't come again another day. Like, WHY?!?! Darn it!

However the spending time with the few of them was priceless (:

Now its so cold, that i think my fingers feels like icicles. Yes, i'm putting on a jacket even as we speak. Maybe i shall find gloves to put on too. Thats too exaggerated. HAHHAH! The fact still remains that the weather's very freaky nowadays. I see the sun outside, but feel the chills. So wierd isn't it? Or maybe its just me :/

Yesterday, a bunch of us went home, leaving only Raunaq, Hong wei, Yi Lin and Qin Yuan. When we bade goodbye, i felt kinda sad.

Because it will be quite long before most of us can meet up again.

I pray that we'll stay in contact and meet up every once in a while even though we will make new friends.

I recall that when i moved on from primary school to secondary school, i was totally happy and didn't miss anyone at all :X Maybe because i've hated primary school.

But now i guess the story's different when you've made good friends.

OMG this is getting soo emotional. I'm still so attached to the secondary school friends. I think its pretty normal eh? I'm definitely going to make new friends in my class now. However, i wonder whether the friends i'm going to make is going to be close ones or just merely acquaintances?

Whatever it is, i shall take the first step in getting to know my classmates better. I shall try to do something different.

Thank god i still have someone close in my heart. If not, i think i will be soo empty right now.

I still love 4-9 the most :D

Its play time :D

As you can see, i've put up a new layout. Made it yesterday in less than 2 hours. You can say that i was bored with the previous one. It gives a totally different feel eh? And i don't think i've EVER made a layout with that dark coloured scheme. Nevertheless, i'm quite satisfied with it :)

I've noticed that recently, my posts were more of a sea of words. So i decided to put up pictures.

Here we go!

The following two pictures were taken on Jes' birthday, mini celebration at home. As you can see, she looks uber tired :(

And then, remember when i mentioned i went to my grandma's chalet last month? Here are a few pictures.

Blowing bubbles >.<

Last but not least, a picture of us girls :)

Later on, i shall be going to the chalet! This time its 4-9's :) I hope the weather over at the other end of Singapore is fine. If not its going to be such a mood-spoiler.

This is the last time we're going to have this chalet i guess. Next time there will be, but not very often. Cos' we would probably be having new friends already. And clashes exist during holiday periods, thats for sure. So it would be VERY VERY hard if you want to gather many people back for a gathering.

And i shall be bringing a camera along too. To capture moments of joy :)

a time for holiday

Oh look! I get to enjoy March holidays too ^^

But of course, we weren't let off that easily. I have quite a bit of homework to be completed.

I'm proud to say that i've actually completed my Maths homework yesterday :O

I mentioned it because i'm not a maths person, but i tried to finish it up, with only 3 questions i absolutely have no idea on how to go about doing it. So its an accomplishment :D

However i think i can do better :/ cos' i took around 4-5 hours on doing it.

Last weekend, i went for prefect's camp at Regent. Wasn't there most of the time but still i came ya. Helped out a little teensy weeny bit. Thank god i didn't stay on the second night of the camp! Because on the next morning at 4am something bad happen, which is i was woken up by cramps from my stomach. The bad part is it took soo long for it to go away. Even after i've taken the medicine for it.

And oh, i almost forgot!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JES :DDDDDD

Yesterday was the day. Poor girl, having her birthday fall on the last day of camp and unable to celebrate it properly. But i think we will go out to eat something good, restaurant to be decided by her next sunday. Hehehehhe! She was, however, awarded with Best camper award yet again. Reminds me of Anyu somehow :)

And for the March holidays enjoyment schedule, it shall be to spend time with 4-9 people at the chalet this coming Wednesday! I look forward to going there. They are always fun people to be around with ;)

Also, last friday the A Level results were also out. You might be wondering, what has that got to do with me? Am i right? Well, its like this, Med, Jamues and i went to see. As you know, we could get a gauge of how our results might turn out 2 years down the road.

Then they had these powerpoint slides. One of which that impacted me was the one showing the students with the most improvements in their grades. They did this by showing their L1R5 when they came into the JC. There's also this girl, she came in with a score of 18 for L1R5 and managed to score 4 As. Literally, i was blown away.

2 years down the road, my name shall be up there too.

Just you wait and see.

Reality check, is it even possible to get that? If she can, NAT can do it too :)

emotion-wrecked

Today was pretty much a tiring day for me. There was chinese too, and its like the teacher was just throwing out word idioms one after another -we're actually expected to know all 24 of them. Crazy stuff, but nevertheless, i shall still try my best to memorize most of it :/

Then after all the normal mass lectures and all that, we still had make-up Economics mass lecture for those that didn't attend the first few months or so. And after about an hour or so, i was already feeling so restless and drained out already okay. Such a tiring tiring day x_x

Anyway, yesterday we had this "JC 1 Headstart Programme" the first segment was about some Personal grooming & social etiquette talks. I've actually attended it before, during sec 4. So the content was pretty much the same. Thank goodness that the speaker was entertaining :D

And then we had a second segment to the programme. I attended the Business Communications talk and guess what? The content was super similar to the first one. Then the speaker was like trying to engage us and apparently he failed. Practically for the 2 and a half hours, i was feeling so darn bored, i kept on glancing at the clock and basically wasn't paying much attention.

After that, we got to know our classes too. Unfortunately, i wasn't in the same class as Med, but hey! i can still meet her up during tennis or mass lectures :D Cyndy's in the same class as me too. So at least i know someone.

Anyway, today i got a little bit disappointed, maybe a little angry. Sighhhhh. Wanted to give attitude. Didn't know what to say. But i guess i'm just being childish. Argh.

dear diary

Hmm, i found that lots of people have been asking me how i've been doing in JC so far.

So lets do a verdict today.

Firstly, i think i seem to be able to cope now i guess. And there's definitely pressure all around -there's no way escaping it. That's for sure. So far i'm not THAT stressed up yet.

And then, i'm still also enjoying while studying. I mean its like, there's satisfaction when i get to understand a certain theory or solve a question that seems challenging. That's my motivation to study even harder.

I think i'm doing fine actually. I'm still able to catch up on what the lecturers are teaching. Except for one subject. CHINESE! OMG! There's so many things i don't understand. The bad thing is that we can only get to take the exam once. I just hope i can get a pass. I shall be jumping for joy. I wonder if chinese still needs to be taken even when in university :/

Therefore the conclusion would be: I am settled down into JC's lifestyle already. Although sometimes, i am so tempted to go appeal for Poly (Yes, its still possible cos' poly hasn't started yet) But i know i won't. What i use to convince myself is that, if i cannot even survive through this period of two years, how on earth would i be able to survive through university?! So that is basically what's going through in my mind when i want to regret not appealing to a Polytechnic.

After all, i don't have much time left. So its either i study on a daily basis or die. Simple conclusion.

However, i think i would want to go for Maths/Chemistry tuition. I really really really.. need help. I can't totally depend on myself like the way i used to. Due to a very simple reason. O Levels is at totally different level compared to that of A Levels, i'm sure you know that. So yeah, i'm going to go for tuition i guess.

Among all of that studying/hectic lifestyle, i can get to enjoy through tennis and learning Japanese. HEHHE. Yeah, i went for the first lesson last saturday and we started off with the basics and i have to memorise some Japanese characters, its also known as "Hiragana" Kind of like the english alphabet. And very soon, i shall be able to read Japanese words. But won't know what it means though >.<

I'm still going to be rather busy :(
But i still have stuff to do that are my priorities ;)

One more thing, the people around me are awesome too, including you-know-who! Its really nice knowing that i always have someone to talk to when i feel down, or even slightly moodless. And at the end of the conversation i would never fail to have a smile on my face. And it carries all the way until the very moment i fall asleep. So in short, i get to sleep happily every single day and feel so so loved <3

On Friday all the way to Sunday, there's Prefect camp @ Regent.
On Saturday, i have Japanese classes from 1pm - 4pm
Next Wednesday, 4/9 is going to have a class chalet. I'm so going to enjoy myself for that!

Because after the March holidays, serious mugging would commence. For now, its rather slack. So until then, we'll see :)

HMMMM

This is totally random. I've decided to put up one picture :D

These are the people i've had fun with! HEHHEHE.



Like Wen Yan said, this first week is rather slack but the real deal would come soon. I think i'm going to be prepared for that. AHHAH! I hope so :/

For today, i'm going to go for Japanese lessons soon. But no wedding dinner, due to a reason i won't say :P

Yup, that's it i guess. Cya (:
