Ok, so 2 wednesdays ago, my class went to SPCA for service learning.

I didnt know that it was so near. But anyways, when we reached there, we were given a talk and the lady told us few stories about some of the animals. Like these birdies!

Cute right? Then we went to the adoption area and got to carry this puppy. It's about 3 months old, i think. I didnt carry it because i was carrying some stuff.

Then, we could go into the kennels and visit the dogs!(:

We had a fun time! And the dogs were super cute(:(:(:

2010-03-15T05:55:00.000-07:00

FRIDAY WAS FUN! Ok, so at 5pm, i went back to school coz my cca had this movie marathon thing. My friends and I went to my class first as the thing hasnt started yet and i needed to get my textbooks and workbook. On the way there, we met mr ng, which was surprising that he still remembered my name coz i only met him once and that was like last year end of october. Anyways, after that, we went over to the primary school to play table tennis. My gosh, it wasnt table tennis, just tennis. We were laughing our heads off, when you saw how we played, you would too. Then, this lady came over and joined our game. At first, I thought she looked familiar but then there were tons of times when I thought someone looked familiar. Then like 5 mins later, this guy walked in. He was my parents' friend. I waved and then i realised that the lady was his wife. No wonder.....Hahas. Then when we were about to leave, mr chiang came and his son is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we played with him, mr chiang, not the son. His son could barely see above the table. After a while, we went back to DIC.
Turns out that they already started the BBQ!!!!!!!!!!!! I barely ate anything except a fishball and a spring roll and a satay. Ok, and one piece of chicken.
After that, we watched 'the pursuit of happiness'. Nice movie, a little sad but still, sad. And no, i didnt cry, thank you very much. When the movie ended, almost everyone went home except those staying overnight. We watched like 4 other movies in a row. Epic movie, rush hour 3, mr bean holiday and kung fu panda. Kung fu panda ended at like around 4.45am and no one could take it anymore and went to sleep. I didnt bring a sleeping bag so i slept on a chair. Well, two chairs. I woke up at 6.45 so only slept for 2 hours....... When i got home, i was rushing my tuition hw and i almost fell asleep during tuition. Should have just cancelled it...... So at night, I slept for like 11 hours(:

2010-03-11T05:01:00.000-08:00

Today was cross country day!
I reached bedok reservior at 7.15am and was trying to find my class. Then it was morning proceedings and it started. First, it was the flag barriers(or however you spell it) then the sec 3 boys and then us!
I think i ran for like the first km then i walked ran for the 2nd and 3rd km and for the last one, i just walked. And guess what?I got 37th position. Yeah, it not that good. But for me, it is(: So now, im like so damn tired.My eyes are half closed as im typing this......

By the way, did anyone watch the press conference that jack neo gave? My gosh, his wife fainted and it was so dramatic. But seriously. You'd think someone would learn something from tiger woods......

2010-03-03T05:30:00.000-08:00

Ok, now about the common tests.

Amath was a little hard. I only have 2 sentences to say.

Thats it.

OMG!!! This whole controversy about pastor rony's comments on Buddhism......man.... it's even in the front page of Straits Time.

SINGAPORE: The Internal Security Department (ISD) has called up Pastor Rony Tan of Lighthouse Evangelism in connection with his comments and insinuations about Buddhism and Taoism at his church sessions.

These sessions were video-recorded and made available on Lighthouse Evangelism's website. Video clips of these sessions subsequently became available on YouTube and other websites.

The Ministry of Home Affairs said Pastor Tan's comments were highly inappropriate and unacceptable as they trivialised and insulted the beliefs of Buddhists and Taoists.

They can also give rise to tension and conflict between the Buddhist/Taoist and Christian communities.

ISD told Pastor Tan that in preaching or proselytising his faith, he must not run down other religions, and must be mindful of the sensitivities of other religions.

Pastor Tan has expressed his deepest apologies and remorse. He deeply regrets that he has been insensitive and offensive towards the Buddhist and Taoist faiths, and that his comments have saddened and hurt their followers.

He has promised that it will never happen again and has also affirmed that he will tell his members to respect other beliefs and build a harmonious Singapore.

This Sunday's message should be interesting.

2010-02-08T05:15:00.000-08:00

SUNDAY
Today i went speedlight with jiamin! When i met her, she gave me a cookie(: Kinda hard but still, it was good(: And it was after i ate the cookie then i remembered that i wanted to take a photo of it...
The sermon was good. It was about God'd forgiveness. The passage we looked at was John 8:1-11. You know, about the woman committing adultery.
After service, jiamin gave me another cookie and i forgot to take a photo of it again! Arghh.
When i came home, i did a fair amount of tuition homework cause i wouldn't have enough time to do it next week. And it's tons of homework given!
When i was watching american idol, i realised that paula and simon look so cute together. I know paula is not in idol anymore, im not that slow, but when they showed past clips.
Dinnertime, my parents, my sister and the maid went to causeway point. Why didnt i go? Cause michael buble was on tv!!(: He was good!
Then when i got on the internet, i went to youtube and found a video of simon and paula. Confirmation, they look cute.

MONDAY
I woke up earlier then usual today because all of a sudden, i had a really bad stomachache. even though i woke up earlier, i still finished preparing for school around the same time as when i wake up at the usual time............
when i got to school, i was rushing my english homework cause i didnt bring it hometo do. Heh heh. But i couldnt finish it so hand in tomorrow. And there isnt history test today! She oushed it back because of time constrain so we're gonna have it on the 8th week. And for pe, we went to tampines stadium and all we did was listen to mr kowk talk about various parts of the track and what they were used for plus some interesting facts like why is a marathon called a marathon and why is a marathon 42.125km, cause there was this guy who ran 42.125km to a place called marathon.
During social studies, mrs tan was super mad cause a few people didnt have their materials on the table and a few people were late for class. But after a while, she was ok. But i think that now a few people in class dont like her....
For math, we learnt coordinate geometry. And when we were talking about length of line, mr yak has been talking about the formula and asaph said 'use ruler to measure?' and mr yak was banging his head on the board. Hahas. And when we did a practice, mr yak got the answer wrong and ryan was like 'oh, you're a teacher and you got the answer wrong?' and mr yak said' im a teacher, not God. Full stop.'
Geog was ok, didnt do much. Test on thursday!

One month of school has passed. Wow, time flies man.....

2010-02-06T02:57:00.000-08:00

Ok, i finally went jogging today! I woke up at like 7, and then went to wash up and everything and went to wake my dad up. We jogged to the market and i don't mean the short way where you pass the church. I mean the loooooong way, jog all the way to the back of the field, all the way straight, past my pri school, past the condo, make a turn at the end and straight to the market. My dad was like 'thank God you stopped. If not i think i would throw up.' After that, we ate breakfast and walked home.
My feet hurt, well, only one foot and my eyes felt like closing (talking about eyes closing, i had one of the best dreams last night!) Before tuition started, i was super tired, really felt like sleeping.
Just before my tutor came, my dad asked a really random question 'what is the difference between Dracula and vampire?' he said that vampire is to the Asian side while Dracula is towards the western. Me and my mom disagree. I was like 'twilight has vampires and they are Caucasians.' When my tutor came, we asked her and i think she said they are kinda the same...hmm..
During tuition, she gave tons of homework cause next week, i have no tuition!!!
Oh, and when i watched don't forget the lyrics, guess whose song was on there????? Barry's!!! Hahas. I was like screaming my head off. Then the guy went home cause he didn't know the lyrics to one of the songs. And another guy came on and guess what???? When he picked the pop category, one of Barry's song came on!!! Then i started screaming even more. Even my sister got excited. Hahas.
I love these little Barry moments(:

2010-02-04T04:41:00.001-08:00

Man, this girl is good!!!!!! And i think i want to learn swedish.....It will certainly help you to understand more stuff the next time you go IKEA. Hahas.

2010-02-03T04:54:00.000-08:00

Omg, today i woke up late. I don't know why but i was super tired last night.... And on the way to school, turned on the radio and this annoying song comes on. You know the song 'I want nobody, nobody but you' or whatever? Yah, that song..... Then one of the dj said 'you know how in stores, you see a sign that reads "shoplifters will be handed over to the police"? Well, in this particular supermarket, below it, there's a line that says "any staff that catches you collegue stealing will be rewarded $500" ' Then the other dj said that he will work there and he'll put stuff into the other dj's pocket and within a week, he'll be rich! Hahas. He also said 'with your big pocket, i'll put a fridge in there'. I love listening to the radio....

When i reached school, i had to pack my table coz there was hardly any space to put the bio file that we got yesterday. But Thank God, it fits nicely.

During homeroom, we went to the hall for a talk. It was about something that makes all the guy excited.....if you guessed sex, you are right. Well, it was about STI/HIV but still, it links to you know... And after that, mr lian was going to announce something and before that he said 'ok, you guys just heard about 3 letters s-e-x, now im going to give you 3 more. C-C-A.' Hahas.

During chemistry, we listened to this song. Its quite nice(:

English lesson was fun! We practiced oral. In the beginning, a few people had to read the passage with accents, like american, british, indian.....

During math lesson, this guy went to the bathroom and it kinda annoyed mr yak coz when the guy comes back, he's gonna ask what he missed. So as a joke, mr yak hid his pencil case. When the guy came back, he didnt notice it! Finally mr yak gave him his pencil case back and he was like' eh, where did this come from? How did you have it?' Then we rest of us were like' wow, you are slow. Were you born yesterday or in 1995?'

Chem test tomorrow....cant wait........................

2010-01-30T06:08:00.000-08:00

2010-01-27T06:42:00.000-08:00

I love listening to the radio coz you would never know what you might hear! Today, the guy said something about funny warning signs.
5:Warning, dont feed to fishes. (dog shampoo)
4:Caution, for external use only (curling iron)
3: (forgot what it was)
2:Caution, please remove infant before folding for storage (stroller)
1:(there's a box that contains a shower cap) For one head only

Funny right? and bear in mind that these are real warning signs on labels.

Then i was trying to study for spelling.

And guess what? during chinese lesson, ms yew came into class and we didnt have anything to do so she asked us to read. And she said that our reading wasnt good. Heh heh. But i didnt know her chinese is so good! Always thought she was bad at it.

And math lesson was so boring with a capital B. And ryan was trying to hand in his homework to kimberly but she wouldnt take it. it was hilarious.

2010-01-26T06:21:00.000-08:00

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come!

Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and i no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life i live in the body, i live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

What i have learnt in cca today(:

2010-01-25T05:44:00.000-08:00

This morning, i was rushing to finih my ss homework. I thought it was due tomorrow, but unfortunely, its due today...
English lesson was quite relaxing. All we did was read two articles and write and essay. Not a full essay but try to.
All history lesson on monday is going to be in the auditorium!!! Air-conditioning!!!! During history lesson, i was trying to finish my ss homework again...
And we were late for PE but no punishment because he realised that 6 mins isnt enough so he's going to extend it to 7 mins. Which i think will still not be enough... The girls played captains ball today. My team and the other team gave up playing after a while coz it turned boring.
And by end of recess, i finished my ss homework!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Math lesson today was boring. We were suppose to get into pairs and try to attempt this question. When he was explaining, my partner asked me, 'are you trying to analyze the question or daydreaming?' i was like, both. Heh heh.
During geog, i was so close to falling asleep. And we were given this worksheet which was due by the end of today but i'll just hand it in tomorrow....
AND GUESS WHAT?!?! I SAW A WENDY'S COMMERCIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I miss the frosty...

2010-01-24T05:56:00.001-08:00

I met with ruth today! Man, she so damn tall....
We went to watch 'the spy next door'!!! Its so funny and definitely worth your money. Planning to watch it again(:

And during one part of the bloopers, jackie chan was like 'i dont like english'. Hahas.
I so want to meet all the primary school classmates and friends! Probably on the day when the schools celebrate chinese new year and everyone get out early......

2010-01-19T05:37:00.000-08:00

MONDAY

I found out that shopping burns calories! Heard it on the radio!

When i got to class, i realised that there's chem test on wed......and i haven't study for it yet.......

And during english, mdm norhani said that there was an ex student that plays the ukulele and he's pretty bad at it. Coz he plays songs like jai-ho and lady gaga's songs on it. Can you imagine how it would sound like??

History test on thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! damn it.....I REALLY HOPE I DON'T FAIL IT.... So that means i have two tests this week and im not including all those math quizzes or whatever they are.

We were like about 4 mins late and we were suppose to do 1 push up per second late....but since its the first official lesson, mr kwok let us off. (thank God! i would like die) Then the boys played soccer while the girls threw javelin. I think it was kinda fun!

My geog book finally came!!!!! its about time too.

After school, i was suppose to meet jerlyn but i was super duper tired.

And my mom told me that when she brought my sister to the playground, sabella went to this piano thing and another girl was already there. Wherever that girl pressed, my sister also wanted to press there. But then the girl didn't let her press, so sabella pushed the girl! after that, she just walked away! hahas. I should have been there to see it! Man.....

Oh, and i found this video of this ukulele boy and he's super cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TUESDAY

Woke up late.....

I asked my dad to help me buy 1 of those 1 litre bottle drink and he went to buy two.....So heavy...

During morning proceedings, this girl went up on stage to read out the announcements and she read a few words wrongly and everyone was laughing their heads off. And the teacher that gave morning devotion also pronounced a few words wrongly. And some guy said 'whats with everyone today?'

Fun fact we learnt in bio: guys' arms are straighter than girls. Interesting....

During English, our teacher told us that there are quite a number of teachers in our school that reads comic books and this one teacher's wife is going to divorce him if he buys another comic book. Hahas. Is it really that extreme?

By the time we got to SS lesson which was the last lesson of the day, the class was like half dead...

CCA!!! we had a couple of sec ones joining us. And we played games. One of them was wacko, no surprise there....And guess what? I'm in charge of refreshments every week, all thanks to eunice......

And by the time i reached home, it was like 7.30pm! Had to wait a long time for 969.

WEDNESDAY
Woke up late again....

Homeroom was blah and during CD lesson, we were making paper airplanes! It was kinda like a competition.

And for chem, Mrs Ho didnt come! So Ms Low teached and then we had a lesson assignment and guess what? Its the excat same questions as the ones i already have in my previous file(: so im guessing im getting like a hundred? (:

Then during recess, i went to 4H to return something to someone. Then i was just looking at their notice board and under the remedial section, i saw my name! And it said that my class was 4H!

We were released early today. When i was walking out of the school gate, the security guard lady asked me if i was coming back to school. I said no. Then she asked me how to order bubble tea. After telling her, i asked why not i buy for her since its just right there. Then she said nvm, she'll just get someone thats going out to eat and going back to school, thanks a lot and stuff. And she said that if i was ever going out to eat lunch and going back to school, i could just drop by and ask if she needs anything. I was like sure! I dunno if she meant it but im just going to ask(: See, how nice of me right?!?! Hahas.

Tomorrow history test!!!!!!!!! I better pass it....

2010-01-17T04:48:00.000-08:00

Arghh...Thhis morning forced myself to wake up at 7.50 at accompany Jiamin to 9am service. My dad sent me to northpoint and then i walked to the bus stop coz i didnt feel like taking the mrt. Omg, there was hardly anyone in the bus.
Then, when i reached church, jiamin texted me that she havent reached the house yet and i would have to wait a while. So i waited and waited. While i was waiting for her, i saw 2 cute guys(: Around 15mins later, i saw this girl smiling and walking towards me and i was thinking who in the world is that? Then after looking closely, i realised that she was Jiamin! OMG, she looks different with bangs! China doll! hahas.
Today's preacher is pastor steve cioccolanti. He is good! And his sermons are simple and funny. Should have went for the 3.15 and 7 services.....

School starts again tomorrow.............................

2010-01-15T06:00:00.000-08:00

MONDAY

Release of o'level results! Didnt get to go see it......

History lesson was in the auditorium! it was nice(:

Then PE. Mr Kwok is our PE teacher. And he said that next time he's only going to give us what, 6 mins? , to change and go down to meet him. And for every second late, we do a push up!!!! My goodness. Plus, he spent the whole lesson going through the warm up. I think his lesson is pretty funny(:

My SS teacher is Mrs Tan! I think she scared like half the class.....

There was another quiz for math. No surprise there. There's like a quiz almost every lesson.

During geog, Mrs Leong wasnt there so we ended up doing workbook):

Tomorrow is going to be a long day...

TUESDAY

For the whole day, all they were talking about was the o'level results. And you know what? last year's sec 3 higher chinese people had like 31 people total. And out of the 31, only 15 got distinctions and allowed to go to sec 4 higher chinese! sad man...Heard that someone even got C5!

Plus today, we were suppose to do singspiration but it was BB day! so no need! yay!

In english, we had to write an essay........ I think i memorised like half of it the night before. heh heh.

In assembly, the people up front talked and talked. And why is it that the school always indirectly, unknowingly reminds you that we redo sec 3? it was depressing enough when we found out. No need to keep saying...gosh.....

Math teacher late by like 30 mins? and we tried to delay time by singing birthday song to this guy. First we sang the english one, then the "God is blessing you now" one, and finally the chinese one! hahas.

After that was biology SPA! and guess who is one of the teachers????? Ms Toh!!!!(:

SS teacher not here... so math teacher came in again. And he took her period to have a quiz!!! arghh.

After school, CCA. After that, Eunice found out that she had chinese lesson after school. So she went to find her chinese teacher on what it was about, and her teacher told her to find Mr Tay coz he was in 4K. So we went there and there wasnt anyone there. Then we went to the MM office and he wasnt there too. Eunice was like super happy coz dont have to see him.

I survived a japanese game show!!!!!! Funny!

Then it was just for laughs! HILARIOUS!!!!! my mom and i were laughing our heads off! I think the asia version is funnier than the UK(or is it canada?) one.

WEDNESDAY

There was a funny ad on the radio. The DJs were talking about this ad on craigslist( dunno how to spell). It's about this lady, she and her husband were trying to have a baby but no success. And she went to the doctor's and the doctor said that she was fine. So she thinks it should be her husband. So she's looking for a guy to have a baby with her. And he must send her a nude photo of himself coz she cant do it if she isnt attracted to him. ISNT THAT JUST SICK?!?! good grief....people these days.....

And right after morning proceedings, this counsellor( is that how you spell it? i have to improve my spelling.....) came and looked for me. She asked me how i was and stuff. The conversation was ok, at least i got to spend 10 mins in a room that has air-conditioning. And i finally got to see how the room looked like.

AND WE GOT OUR YEARBOOK!!!

CD lesson was quite fun. We had to come up with rules and we are going to choose 3 to be rules and they were going to be rules that only applies to 3G. Someone suggested that the class, including teachers, have to eat recess together once a week. And if the teachers dont show up, they'll have to treat us. And another one was to say 'i love you' to at least one person everyday. Our group suggested that we should have nap time and snack time(:

During chem SPA, i broke a boiling tube. Lets not go into details about that.....

Went to 4H during recess, the class has freaking air-conditioning....

In english, we had spelling. I passed(:

In chinese, some people were telling lame jokes...

Math teacher didnt come so there was practice paper which i skipped like 1/3 of the questions. Gave up doing it an hour later.

MICHAEL BUBLE WAS ON TV!!! and i only watched like 1min of it...............

Plus american idol was super funny. The first contestant's shirt kept coming up and the third contestant was like 'omg! are you really simon cowell? i cant believe it!' hahas.

And i love victoria beckham's eyes!

THURSDAY

Went to DIC for singspiration....... At first when we were about to go up, one teacher told us that singspiration is cancelled coz no time. But our joy was short-lived...Then they found out that there was actually time......

After that, me, eunice and doreen took a long walk back to class. And eunice said 'why is it whenever im with you i always see mr tay?' i was like' how am i suppose to know?'
And we had photo taking. I think it was for IC. But i already have one......oh well.

And there's no geog textbook again!!!!

Math teacher never come again so we had a sub. She was like 'your teacher never come but gave you guys work to do. See, he loves you guys so much.' lol.

During chem, we had a 5 mins power nap. Some people were actually sleeping.

On the way home, saw a guy wearing a shirt that said 'texas university'!!!!!!!! so cool!

Went to meet gelien at northpoint!

FRIDAY

Woke up early to do english hw.

And you know the quote 'If at first you dont succeed, try, try again'? They rephrased it. "If at first you dont succeed, you're a bloody failure.'

During devotion, the guy that gave devotion sang. Then he asked if we wanted him to sing it again. So he did. And then he asked if we would nominate him for singapore idol, then this group that did singspiration was like 'YES!' hahas.

In chinese, we had spelling! For me, two marks are already gone...Coz when i was writing the sentence halfway, i blanked out. So i just came up with one, which i think doesnt even make sense.....dammit..

Math, we had another quiz and i was like the first one to finish(:

English, i still havent finish the hw. Had about 2 words left. So started scanning the book for words and i was finally done with it!!!!!!!!!

After school went to meet jerlyn. We didnt go to Ikea coz didnt have enough time. So we just went to Tampines 1 instead for lunch. After that she said that she wanted to go to my school. So we walked back. Thats right, walked. When we reached the school gate, she asked the security guards if she could go in, turns out, no.

Then cca selection for sec ones! But before that, doreen and i went around to find eunice. In the end, i saw one of her friends and asked if she knew where eunice was. She said that eunice didnt come to school. You know why? Because of flu. Good grief........

Then went around the school to give out stuff to sec ones. Feet sore.....But quite fun(:

One week has passed.....Man, time sure flies.

2010-01-09T05:30:00.000-08:00

FRIDAY
It didn't rain so that means morning proceedings would be at the parade square which means that you need your songbook. But i didn't want to go to the office to ask them so i called them. The person that answered the phone was nice(: And i think she thought that i was a parent. hahas.
Before school, a few people went around class collecting money for the files and when i gave a dollar to this girl, Kimberly, i said 'here you go'. But i think there was an accent so she asked me if i lived overseas before. I was like 'yeah, the US.' and it turns out that she lived there too! in Arizona. That's so cool(:
Then, it was chem. The lesson was better and the teacher gave hw.....workbook pg 2-9. Thank God its due only on Wednesday. So i have tons of time to do it.
And during recess, i spent like 15-20 mins getting my geog workbook and a file. My gosh, the queue was so damn long.
After recess was chinese. The teacher gave tons of hw.....plus, now i have spelling for chinese, something i haven't had in like 4 years? oh great............... im so not looking forward to that.
Then it was math! quite boring, i must say. He gave hw but i finished it in class. I do not need another piece of hw to bring back home.
English was better today. We did this quiz thing to find out what type of learners we were. Im a aural learner. And my teacher has a great sense of humor. This guy asked what type of dictionary we were suppose to bring and she said 'english'. hahas.
After that, the class stayed back to vote for class committee. When we were done, I rushed down to the DIC for cca meeting, but then i didnt see anyone from my cca. So i went to the library to meet chi yue, she's helping me in studies.
While we were still there, mr k walked in and chatted with us. I think that my former class has quite a few problems...like some people dont like the others and the class committee is not that good and stuff. Sad...
Met Wen Xian( hope its right) and Eunice. Turns out that the meeting was in 1C... and received a text from Mrs Tan, she's not going to be the teacher-in-charge for Crosstrain anymore!!!! So sad. So the new teacher is mrs leong, my geog teacher.................
After a while more, I was super hungry so me, Wen Xian and Eunice left the library and went to the canteen. Why is it that whenever i stay back, i always meet Mr Tay????????? O'level results coming out on Monday! Good luck people!
Next, we went to Tampines 1 coz all i bought at the canteen was a donut... so bought more food again. And i found out that im not the only one who doesnt like the office people. The school should really do something about it.
Came home, ate dinner and started doing hw. But by 10pm, my brain completely shut down so gave up on hw.

SATURDAY
I had tuition but the tutor said that she was going to be 15 mins late so i did my chinese hw. When she came, we went through Amath questions for alpha and beta. Arghh, cant stand that chapter...About an hour later, the house phone rang. But i decided to ignore it coz i thought it was my parents or my grandma. It just kept ringing and ringing until my tutor said' wow, your phone has been ringing for a long time.' So i was like 'give me a second, i'll go answer it.' When i said hello, this guy asked 'may i speak to karen?' By then i was thinking, i dont think i signed up for anything, but i said 'um, yes?' Turns out that its my former chinese teacher. Scared the life outta me. Then i was thinking 'oh shit, what did i do?' But he just called to ask if my chinese teacher said anything about CLB, and was she encouraging us to go. I think that they arent suppose to. I said that she just told us what CLB was and stuff. Interesting phone call......
I spent the whole day doing hw, mainly english, which we have to find a total of 150 nouns, verbs, and adjectives that we dont know and find the meaning and write down the sentence. Super tiring.

SUNDAY
Omg, when we drove to the church carpark, i saw a porsche parking there! NICE CAR!!!
And pastor colin's sermon was super funny, one of my fave pastors to preach.
Did english the whole day today, and still have like 100 more to go.........................

SECOND WEEK OF SCHOOL STARTING TOMORROW!!!!

2010-01-07T05:19:00.000-08:00

Thank God! This morning, i was totally praying that it'll rain coz if it didnt rain, there will be singing, which means i have to buy songbook, which means i have to go to the office to ask, which means i have to meet those office people. Which i think i said before, i CAN'T stand them! Generally, most of them are nice but it's those one or two people that are just plain rude.
And it rained!!! For quite long too, about 3 hours+

First subject was biology. Finally a teacher that i like.
Second subject: elective history's teacher was ok. Kinda liked her.
Then it was pure geog, which is taught by mrs leong! and finally a teacher i know! which reminds me, i have to buy the new textbook and workbook.

And during math, there was this question that we were suppose to try out. I already did it during tuition. So after i finished, i started to daydream and doodle and stuff. i thought quite a long time has passed(couldnt know for sure coz stupid clock not working). And i found out that we were still on that same question. I was like 'wow'

Chinese was ok, kinda boring except for the times when we could hear mr tay next door shouting or laughing or something.

And finally chem. today's lesson was better than yesterday's.

WHAT I LEARNT TODAY:

WHEN YOU REDO A GRADE, IT COULD GET BORING SINCE YOU WERE TAUGHT THOSE STUFF ALREADY.

tomorrow staying back...

2010-01-06T05:19:00.000-08:00

omg, only been to school for like what? three day? and I'm super tired already.... my goodness... anyways, here's my day today.

On the way to school, I was listening to the radio and they were talking about how students cheat. Here are just some examples:
-pass notes (which i think would be really obvious)
-go to the bathroom and write answers on a blank sheet of paper (but its not like you can go to the bathroom 3 times within the test period......)
-(and the most interesting one, used for MCQ) the table has 4 legs right? so each leg stands for a letter. So if the answer is 'A', then the person would point his foot towards that particular leg. and below the table, there are 10 bars for you to put books right? each bar is a number. So the bars would be the number to the question and the legs would be the answer. cool right?

then reached school and realised that the chemistry textbook changed...the old one is better though! what the heck..... then Gloriane passed me a book that her sister wrote. I think the book is pretty cool, read a few pages of it.
then homeroom, we were suppose to find quotes last night to put on the board. mine was 'you can give in, you can give out but don't you give up' and for those of you who really know me well enough, will know who its by(:

Then chemistry. 4 words. 'please change the teacher.' that's it, 'nuff said.

RECESS!!! went to buy chem textbook, practical book and workbook, which total up to$49.20 wow.
then went down again with this girl, Danna(i think that's how you spell it.....) and then met Chi Yue. and its amazing how fast news travel. it seems that now everyone knows what class I'm in...and i only told like what? 2 people? then met Mr Wong! man, i really wished i was in sec 4 right now....

English. better than the one teaching chem.

Chinese. Thank God its not one of the teachers from China!!! and she speaks english in class too, i think its because my chinese class its not those good ones.....at first i liked that she spoke english, but then after 10 mins, it kinda got on my nerves. i mean, its chinese lesson for goodness sake.

Math. Finally a teacher that i like. The actual teacher, Mr Sham is on course for like 3 months for we have a relief, Mr Yak(still dunno how to pronounce it). I think he cant really teach though....

IN CONCLUSION:

WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE GOOD TEACHERS?!?!?!?!?!

2010-01-04T04:18:00.000-08:00

so today was the first day of school.

in the morning, it was raining. which i didnt mind it coz that meant that morning proceedings is in the classroom. It was kinda awkward at first because i did not know a single soul in my class. then my form teacher came. I think she's quite nice. My co form teacher is mr kwok, so the class was like 'oh die.' hahas.

And the whole of today, we were either in the class doing admin stuff or we were in the hall listening to some guy talk.

AAANND! for all my subjects, the teachers arent the same as last year's, which kinda sucks coz i was hoping for the teachers to be the same......

tomorrow is a second day of school. hopefully it will be better(:

2009-12-25T07:01:00.000-08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
ITS CHRISTMAS!!!

so today i went to church with my dad. by the time we reached there, hardly any seats left. we sang christmas songs and then it was a musical. i think it was kinda funny. oh, and during offering, they played this music video of a christmas song that pastor rony sang. till now, the song is still stuck in my head.

after service, ate lunch with jiamin and then went to her house to bake.

doesnt it look nice?(: see because its christmas, we made them into shapes of candycanes!(:
broken heart......

then about 4.45, went to pass cookies to her aunt. and guess what? her aunt gave me a present! i like her aunt....
came home, went out for dinner, came home.
then took this photo of my sister's hair.

lol, all the clips. i didnt put them there. my dad did.

and today, for some reason, i felt like eating yong tau foo so i asked my parents if i were to call my grandma and ask her to some down here and make it, would she? they said yes. so i called and she said that am i going to pay her? i was like sure. she said she would come down on tuesday. but tuesday, the maid wouldnt be here anymore so cant help to do stuff. then she said, then wait till another maid comes then i'll come down.

but then she told my grandpa and he was like 'just make for her lah, since she's such a good girl.' hahas. and guess what??? its FOC. hahas. but i think im going to give her 10 bucks or something, if not i feel bad, she having to buy so much stuff just to make it for me. man, i feel so touched.

17 mins till christmas is over. then have to wait a whole year to hear christmas songs and stuff again.

2009-12-22T23:52:00.000-08:00

FRIDAY

I went to one reason with jiamin. We met at 4.30 then went down to AMK bus interchange to finally do my bus pass. Then we took bus to tampines which took around an hour. So when we got off the bus, our butts hurt. Then we walked to Mcdonalds and we saw that there were like tons of people going to church when it was only about 6.45 and the thing starts at 7.30. So after eating dinner at record time, we reached church at around 7.05 and there were barely any seats left. Should have met up at like 4....

Before the event started, this really enthusiastic guy went up the stage to saysome stuff like "i know you guys have all those cool phones like your blusberry and your strawberry, but can you guys put your phones to silent mode?" hahas.

First was this STOMP thing which was hilarious. Then was praise and worship. And the Victoria Chorale was after that. And they were AMAZING! Finally the musical which was nice but jiamin kept laughing the whole time and i dont know whats so funny about it....

SATURDAY

I forgot what happened...

SUNDAY

Watched the second part of FIREPROOF. It was touching. Yea, i gotta admit, i cried. Everyone cried.

MONDAY
Boxes came!!! A total of 81 boxes. So now the whole house looks like a warehouse. And about 2 hours later, the sofa came. Just nice, it was raining heavily and you wouldnt believe how strong the wind is.

TUESDAY
My uncle and cousin came. And of course, my sister went to my uncle straight away. I think my uncle's good wth kids.

WEDNESDAY
Did like half of my tuition homework. Then went to Ikea and finally got my curtain.

2009-12-16T05:07:00.001-08:00

hey! Yesterday i went out for dinner and guess who i saw? Gelien! I was just looking at that direction and then someone was waving. and i was thinking 'who the freak is that that keeps on waving?' then i looked closer, OMG, gelien! hahas.
and on sunday, i went to church for the 9am service with jiamin. They were playing the movie 'fireproof' which was good. After that, we went for speedlight, which was quite boring... then jiamin came over and she was suppose to do her homework. so i was beside her, making her do it. And then once a while we'll browse through random people's facebook account. And then you know what? We found an account that belongs to some guy she liked long time ago. But she was freaking out and kept staring her eyes out at the photo........
The house is not yet done, plus the boxes are arrviving next monday. Which means one long period of packing again....which means im the one who looks after my sister again.....sigh.
And christmas is coming!!!

[Ellen asked Grace to baby-sit her kids but is now upset because she assumed Will would be there as well and he is out of town and she no longer wants Grace to do it]
Ellen: You know what I just realized? Rob's sister can probably do it. She lives closer to us anyway.
Grace: Judy? The one who has to turn the lights on 14 times or the oceans will dry up?
Karen: Ellen, why would you leave your kids with someone who has such an important job?

2009-12-03T06:14:00.001-08:00

hey!
since my dad's back, my house is undergoing renovation right now. First, we changed the air con.

then, one of the days, me and my dad went down to paint. now, i learnt that i cant paint doors...

and then i dont know how i got my hand this messy. my hand after like 5 washes.

and while i was waiting for my math teacher outside the staffroom, i saw my chinese teacher walking below....and i think he saw me too.
ohya, my mom followed me today, dunno why. so of course that means that my sister went too. my gosh, i lost count of the number of teachers that said my sister is cute. i mean, yah, i admit she is cute but seriously, do i have to hear it everywhere i go?!?! good grief....

2009-10-31T05:19:00.000-07:00

THURSDAY

saw barry on ET in the morning!(:
and then mr tay didnt come for Chinese lesson again....so we had to do some other worksheet....yuck.
and its official. im redoing sec 3 again. went for this advisory program thing. and then mr ng was explaining. and he made it seem ok to stay back. like explain that i came back mid year and only had few months to prepare. and even with that, some subject teachers thought that it wasnt bad and if i had the whole year, i would do really well. so im doing sec 3 again( at least im not the only one) and they are letting me take the same subjects.

FRIDAY

last day of school!
got back report book. up till now, i still havent seen it yet. heh heh
then met with teachers. well, i was suppose to meet mr chia but then i didnt know if i was suppose to meet mr wong. so i was just sitting there waiting. and then mr chia came in. and he basically gave the same talk as mr ng. except this was longer...way longer.
something along the line of 'i want you to know the reason why you are redoing sec 3. we dont want you to feel its because your results are sucky or whatever but given the circumstances, you were able to produce such results and its not bad so we're giving you another year and you will definitely do better.' and stuff like that. and they make it seem as if i was feeling suicidal
then met jerlyn. we went to swensens and bought ice cream(: i needed some cheering up.

and while ordering, you know what she asked?
so there was this dish which was otah spring roll. and she asked the waiter, 'whats in this?'
then waiter was like 'otah'
hahas. i was like ' thats like asking if....'
and she helped me finished 'are chicken wings made of chicken?'
and i said 'no, they are made of duck.' and we started cracking up

and then we walked around tampines mall and then went to tampines 1. bought a magazine which i planned to read at the jogathon. after that, we were job hunting for jerlyn. only managed to find 2.

then i was rushing to bedok reservoir for the jogathon. and i was late for my league of the jog so i was switched to run with eunice and doreen. and before we ran, we had to assemble first and mr chiang was kinda leading us through cheers first. and a few people werent following along. and the was this girl brigade girl. and mr chiang was like 'your mom told you not to talk to strangers ah? but im not a stranger. im mr chiang. let me introduce myself. hi im mr chiang and you are? so now can you open your mouth?' hahas. hilarious.

then we ran for like 1.3km. it was ok. and then, eunice and i were walking back and we were like at the middle of the track. and suddenly we heard 'chosen generation, move to the side' it was mr chiang. we were laughing.

then eunice, doreen, mario and i went to buy drinks. and then mario kept saying there was this store that sells drinks and then he said' actually, i lied. i just wanted to bring you guys here to see the birds.' i started screaming. and he was laughing. then we passed by this cat which was cute and two other cats.

and while walking back, we realised that there was a bubbletea shop just like right opposite of where we started walking. so we were all mad at mario. and then we walked back. and there was this game of sumo wrestling which was super funny.

and then we met mr k and chi yue. they were like 'hey! where did you guys get the drinks?!?!' and we said 'uh, we bought it over there'

then we went back to where we put our bags and by then i was done with my milo and i was still thirsty so eunice, doreen and i went back to the bubbletea shop. i bought bubbletea and they bought french fries.

then we walked back and saw chi yue and mr k again, this time with bubbletea in their hands. they said that they couldnt find us and we said that we couldnt find them. ohya, i was reading the magazine i bought earlier. i stayed back to chat while eunice and doreen went back to the bags there. mr k was like 'super fantastic. reading magazine. well done karen.' i was like 'we're going to be here for like 4 hours and only going to be occupied for like 30 mins?'

then we were suppose to gather at the tent there. and had this ceremony thing.

then we went home and there were tons of people waiting for bus. and then by the time i reached the interchange, it was raining heavily. but thank God that He held the rain(:

the jogathon was fun(:

2009-10-28T06:22:00.000-07:00

today went to school early to do my NYAA booklet. didnt know that it was that confusing to do.
then it was chinese lesson. mr tay wasnt there. dunno why, thought i saw him walking in the hallways. and i dont think that i was seeing stuff.
so in chinese, we had to do this reflection. i seriously didnt know what to write. then we had to do formal letter writing. havent even start on it and class was over. so i did it as homework.
in geog, i was super tired, dunno why. almost fell asleep in class. then it started raining and everyone was just looking out of the windows. hahas.

and social studies was in the auditorium. and for some reason, the lesson is combined with 3E.
and for english, many ppl were gone because of the sec 2 choosing subjects thing. so in english, barely did anything.
and for geog, it passed fast. dunno why. and realised one thing. reading up the chapter before the teacher teaches it really help. seriously. did it and at least it made the lesson not that boring.
then during chem, it was super fun because mr lai was showing us all this funny videos.

then after school was the inter cca games thing. i was supposed to play softball but then it was cancelled because not enough girls playing. so then by the time we knew it, only captain's ball was left and thats for lower sec....... so a few of us went to ask if we could leave and they said yes.

after that, morning assembly. omg, the morning devotion was super funny! colin did the morning devotion and the topic was 'the red balloon'. and he kept repeating that its a red balloon. and my teacher was like' wow, i never seen one before' lol(: then suddenly uncle roger shouted that 'no! its not red. its green!' and just nice, he was wearing a green shirt. and then mr koh shouted 'no! its yellow!' and then mr chiang said 'no no no. im more senior and i say that the balloon is white.' and he was wearing white......huh... and then everyone started clapping. hahas. its hilarious(:

and beginning when weina and i just reached school and just started doing chem, mr lai came down and saw that i was doing the mole worksheet.

mr lai: eh, you do the more simple worksheets first. this one a bit hard. later you cannot do then so demoralising.

me: but then exam wont come out all those simple questions...

man, couldnt get up this morning.....super tired... never sleeping at 11 on a school day again...
went to school early even though its late day. studied history. read through chapter 5 on japan. Thank God again! if didnt study chapter 5, history exam cannot do already. really thank God(:

then about 30 mins break before next paper which is amath...omg...i dunno how many questions there were that i didnt know how to do. but maybe still better than chinese. that paper was killer.

and you know what?! tomorrow i dont have to go school! because im not taking physics or lit.(: so tomorrow spending whole day going through math. and today made use of my time and studied biology(: only got through 1 chapter. but still better than nothing right?(:

aaahhh, finally tomorrow can wake up late(:

2009-10-05T00:12:00.000-07:00

ARGHH!!! my chinese gone case already....
paper 1 was still ok...i did gong han and the newspaper article.
but once came to paper 2..O..M..G.. ok, the first part is still ok, the close passage and the MCQ compre, still able to do and understand. but once got to the compre where you have to write, my goodness.....there was where i was slaughtered...didnt even understand the passage!! oh good grief...at least i wasnt the only one that found it difficult..

so now trying real hard for geog and emath. JIAYOU!

2009-10-02T21:43:00.000-07:00

SATURDAY

studied the whole day.

and i found out that there's social studies for o'level. so that means that i have 9 papers. oh great.

plus, i have ss exam this week and i didnt understand one of the chapters(which is bonding in singapore, i dont understand this but i understand all the conflict in sri lanka and northern ireland...) so i texted mr koh and asked him if he was free on monday. let me put it in the conversation form again.

me: hey mr koh, karen here. i was wondering, are you free on monday after school?

mr koh: i'll be seeing some people from 3c. you can join in. what do you need help in? cover content or sbq skills?

me: um, cover content.

mr koh: which chapter?

me: uh....chapter 5?

mr koh: how about tuesday?

me: (i suddenly remembered that tuesday after school there's chinese) i think i have chinese on that day.......nvm, i'll let you know again.

mr koh: ok.

but then on monday, i have chemistry....and on wednesday, its reserved for studying whatever. so the only day left is wednesday coz after that is exams.

headache.....

SUNDAY

chatted with catherine on msn!

so you know that if i was still there, i would be in the same science class with her and the science teacher would be the same one i had last year?!?! i was like 'what the...'

and one of our friends, aya, she's homeschooled now because her parents think that she doesnt have any friends in school. uh....are you freaking kidding me? i think thats just wrong.

after that amath tuition. we studied trigo! suprisingly, i understood what the teacher was saying. then why didnt i get it in class?????

anyways, after that i went home and i saw the book that my dad asked uncle desmond to bring back for me. THANKS(:

then, i had to rush to chemistry tuition. our teacher is sick so we are joining another class....the teacher is uh...........i think she's pretty smart but when she tries to explain.....it just maes it worse..

so then when i went back home, had to rush to go church. and i was doing my english homework at the same time....write an introduction in whether you think illegal downloading of music should be banned.

when we got home, i texted mr tay to ask him if i could skip the chinese in tuesday thing.

me: ( i texted in chinese of course. although it was so tempting to do it in english) mr tay, im karen. after school on tuesday, can i not stay back? coz i have to meet my social studies teacher and thats the only day im free.

mr tay: but thats paper 2 test!

me: oh so that means i have to go....ok.

mr tay: yes!

ok.....so by then, i had a major headache....

then i got online and chatted with jerlyn on msn! finally! she had a lot of free time....when i came back, i was rushing here and there....

MONDAY

for pe, we played softball again. it was fun! we kept hitting teachers' cars. hahas. and one of the cars that got hit the most was mr lai's(:

after pe was recess and after that was social studies. but guess what? mr koh didnt come. i was like' oh great..'

after that was english. went through essay writing. didnt pay much attention because for some reason, i wasnt in the mood to classes...

after school went home and left for school again. hahas. chemistry....

TUESDAY

last geog lesson. and we didnt do much...and considering the fact that i havent studied like 3 chapters......im dead..

and during chinese, we had listening compre. not some practice but for final year exam. the last story was ridiculous. but, i passed!!!!!!!!! although it was just passed 10/20...a lot of people got that though....

then it was math. she gave revision papers and guess what?! i can do log!!!(:

and after school, chinese. the paper was super hard. if end of year is going to be like that.....so help me God...

WEDNESDAY

last day of school before exams!!!

during homeroom, mr wong was telling what the minimium attainment to be promoted to sec 4 was. you have to pass english and two other subjects. better than i expected.

and then it was history. while waiting for 3j to finish their lessons, we were waiting outside their class. and i was reading a book. so i was reading and then mr bakar walked past and said 'what are you reading karen?' i was like, how does he know my name? and then, ohya.....nametag....duh. by the time i looked up, he already passed me so i turned around and looked. he was also looking this way and walked towards me. he looked at the book and said something about his wife liking it too? i was like good to know(: ..... hahas. so random.

and during math, i can do partial fractions!!! so happy(:

during chinese, mr tay gave back the test we took, not the paper 2 one but the paper 1 one. omg............my results were so ): ....although i just saw the results for one of them...heh heh. however, weina was depressed too. but for an entirely different reason. she lost her wallet.

so once class ended and after i took everything from under my desk, we went to the canteen to see if its still there.

its not.

we went to the lost and found and she asked the lady there if someone turned in a wallet.

she nodded her head. weina asked if its pink. and the lady nodded her head again and gave it to weina. wow. all of a sudden, just like that, she was so happy and hyper..wanted to smack her...

then we went to my house so that i can dump everything at home and not carry them everywhere. after that, we ate prata. almost couldnt finish it.

while eating, mr koh texted-karen, when are you coming to see me

i was like looking at weina and showed her the text. she was like 'huh? so you going to see him? then we no need to study already lah....'

so i replied: omg......are you free tomorrow?

he said: are you in school now? today better coz got students meeting him tomorrow.

by the time i saw that, i was back in school.

and i said: i am, but im studying for other subjects till like 5? unless its like after that.....

he replied: ok.

then i got confused ok as in he got it or ok as in after 5. so....

i asked: uh, so after 5?

he said: yes. (then like 5 seconds after that) will you be tired?

what a question....so what if i said i was? then i'll meet him tomorrow? but got people meeting him tomorrow....

then i said: nah.....so meet where?

he said: canteen.

i thought i asked him a pretty stupid question because i could already see that he was in the canteen with someone else....but after a long day at school, you cant really think straight...hahas.

then while studying, we were stuck at this math question and just nice, weina's amath teacher and mr k walked out. at first i just looked up and down at the paper again. then i was like 'isnt one of them my teacher?' so i looked up again and yup, mr k. so i waved to him. then after he got back from wherever he went, he came and asked am i doing ok. i was like 'uh. no?' he was like 'why?' i said 'because! its so stressful' and do you know what he said? 'but doesnt make you feel more alive?' i said under my breath 'if anything, it makes a person feel like he doesnt want to be alive...' hahas.

and then met mrs toh! she asked why we were still at school? did we punish ourselves or someone punish us. hahas. we said that we were studying and she sadi why do it there, there's no wind. and when she left, about 5 mins later, a gust of wind came and blew our papers down the the first level. hm....no wind huh. lol(:

then went down to the canteen for social studies...didnt have much time to study with weina...and we went through chapter 5, bonding singapore. about ahlfway through, mr lai walked down and then asked me if weina found her wallet. i was like 'yah'. he asked 'at the canteen?' i said 'oh no, at the lost and found. yah.' then, mr ali and mr koh were both like 'damn lucky!' hahas. and mr lai said 'smsed me that she lost her wallet. i replied back tell me for what?' hahas. that was funny, started laughing my head off(:

around 6.20, finished ss. and by then, there were quite a number of sec 4 people there coz of the night study. they will be at the creativity hall for self study.

and after that, went home and studied english. kept reading essays. NEXT DAY ENGLISH EXAM!!!

THURSDAY

english exam!!! paper one was kinda ok. i did the first question which was what are the advantages and disadvantages of listening to music. and i read a similar essay the night before!(: and you know what? the last topic was 'luck' and i read an essay about it too! and if i memorised it, i could just dump that whole thing there! man.....

paper 2 was ok too. but by the time i got to passage B, i was suddenly super tired. so to me passage B was confusing...

went got home, studied social studies.....next day, exam again..........

FRIDAY

social studies exam-sbq was hard! didnt finish the exam!!!!!! i was doing sbq and when i got to 1(d), i didnt know how to do, so i skipped to the essay questions. i did the conflict and bonding singapore one(: so my ss exam, i lost 7 marks....

after that, went with jiawen, clarissa, jeslyn and daniel to century square for lunch. at first, we were suppose to study too but......hahas. then about 12.15, we head back to school for chem. guess what? he only went through that worksheet which had only about 2 to 3 questions....we waited for like 2 hours for him to go through that few questions........

after i went back home, i studied geog. i know im suppose to study chinese, but no chinese could get into my head so...

and then went down to buy dinner, guess who we saw?! pastor chee!!!(: havent seen him for a long time.

after eating dinner studied geog again and glanced through chinese.....

after that, watched amazing race!!(: i mean, i have to tae a break if not i'll go crazy.

SATURDAY

man, im so tired even after like 9 to 10 hours of sleep.....

i studied chinese(: *pats myself on the back* finally....

then saw my dad's email. something about seeing which poster i wanted, you know those deco things that you hang on the wall? yah, so i chose one of them. and then he called and he said that nvm, i'll just take both of them(: how nice(: and do you know that he packed like 50+ boxes already? wow.....i think thats all he does there now... and he bought stuff for my teachers? those who helped me, as in like one to one, i think.....so there's like 6? hahas.

and just downstairs, there's pasar malam! man, all those food.....

and last but not least, studied geog.....only got through one chapter.....

SUNDAY

early in the morning started studying geog...

then went for math tuition. we did trigo again! why is it that i understand what he's saying and can do all the questions on the worksheet but once it comes to like tys and stuff, im stuck...
and you know what he said? he said that my math is pretty good, im able to do all the questions and understand what he's teaching, if only i came back earlier...i was like 'yah........' heard that tons of times already....if i came back earlier....

after that, went to chem tuition. on the way there, i went to eastpoint to find popular. went all the way to the 6th floor and couldnt find it...when i came down, realised that it was on the 4th floor. but then i only had like 5 mins left till tuition. so i rushed to tuition. i think my chem is better now coz at least i knew how to do like 70% of the questions? yay!(:

after that went popular and bought HI5 for my sister.....my mom asked me to buy....$14.90....

then went to church. ended up studying there too...geog(:

and now, have no choice but to study for chinese......

ALL THE BEST FOR MY CHINESE EXAM!!!

2009-09-24T03:14:00.000-07:00

MONDAY

monday was a holiday! hari raya. so that means there's no school(: so woke up around 10 and watched the emmys(: quite nice(: although some people were winning awards like the whole time....
Then i was doing my chinese. took the whole day. probably doesnt take that long, but its chinese! and my chinese is really bad right now, so.......yea....
and evening time, uncle william and his family-except for jiamin, came over. and jiamin gave this super long letter explaining why she didnt come. hahas.

after that, we went to eat dinner together. and there were a lot of people eating from this particular stall. you know why? because they appeared on tv! going to try it when my dad comes back.

TUESDAY

on tuesday, i spent too long tying my hair and stuff like that, that i didnt have time to eat breakfast coz need to meet mr lai at like 7.10am. so rushed to school

then during geog lesson, i was really tired...dunno why....so i fell asleep in class(: didn get caught though. Thank God...

and then i didnt eat during recess because i was studying for chinese and math. OMG, thank God for my math tuition. because of the tutor, i passed my math test!!!yay!!!! plus, it was amath!(:

and then after school, i didnt eat lunch because need to rush to creativity hall for chinese test. should have reached there earlier...then can have more time to do the test......

super long....wrote until my hand hurt...just hope i didnt write crap.

after that, i was raining and i forgot AGAIN to bring my umbrella....so walked under the rain...wow. sound so depressing.

so this day i only ate dinner! pro right?!

WEDNESDAY

biology lessons are officially getting boring. seriously.

and mr lai was suppose to tell me whether he has meeting today...but he didnt tell.....so i studied with friend after school. eugene was suppose to be there too. and at like 4, he told us that he was going home coz he was tired. wow weina was super angry.

and guess what???? i can do moles!!! yeah!

but man.....really stressed out now....

my dad called and he asked me i was stressed. i was like 'of course! im even about to go crazy and like bang my head against the wall or something.' man.... what a question....am i stressed......

THURSDAY
I was late for chem. i think because i woke up late?
then i rushed to school and had chem in the morning again. and do you know what happened? its like all of a sudden, the sky went dark! so cool. so we had morning proceedings in class.
and after history was english but mr k was super late...........
but guess what we did in english. remember i said during the holidays, i had to do this essay? well, apparently, he thinks that its good. i thought that i was repeating tons of things in there though.... so he printed out a cpoy for everyone and we had to highlight the thesis statement and topic sentences and stuff. of course i did it in like 5 secs because i read that essay like 4 times?
so in the end, missed like 30 mins of his lesson. and when his lesson ended, he didnt know and he said 'why is mr lai standing outside?' and we said 'your lesson end already!' and he said' oh bloddy hell.' hahas. so funny.
and after recess, we had another period of english and the class was wondering who wrote it. i was like oh gosh........and mr k said if the author doesnt want to be revealed, raise your hand. i didnt and somehow, gabriel managed to guess its me......smart......
and then yah, blah blah.

and after school, stayed back for like 1.5 hours for math with mrs wong. learnt tons of stuff.

FRIDAY (today)
had to go school early to finish my english which was another essay...............
during social studies, we were suppose to get back our test, but mine wasnt graded yet........
and during english, mr k didnt come.
BUT, during recess, he came. and we were like why didnt he come during english, he said he went to the doctor to draw blood.......ewww.....i remembered the time when i had to draw blood. was freaking out.... and today was the third time he drew blood.........

then stayed back for chem until like 5pm.
yah, and now going to study(: exams near!!!

2009-09-18T03:41:00.001-07:00

hey! ok im going to start blogging from last monday which was the start of holidays!(:

MONDAY

so i went to school at around 8am cause the whole cca going to pulau ubin for service learning! after a short briefing by teacher, we got on the bus and set off(: we went to changi jetty to take the bumboat to ubin. super fun! and its like the water its so close and stuff. didnt take a picture of it though):

after like 10 mins, we reached pulau ubin! then we walked, walked and walked. by the time i reached this beach, i had like 5 mozzie bites.......so we were at the beach and there was this guy that gave a little lesson on the plants and stuff.

and then we ate lunch, nasi lemak. while eating, we saw a praying mantis.see the brown spot in the middle?
after eating, we cleaned up the beach.
then we walked back. but walking back was torturing because almost all of us ran out of water...
see? all trees...

so we were hoping to find a drink stall and about 30 mins later, we found one but the guy leading us wanted us to see the houses so we walked for another 10 mins....
Finally we saw the drink stall! i think we took like all of their can drinks? hahas. after that was praise and worship. and we walked back to the jetty there.
we took bumboat back, going back was more fun because of the waves so the boat was going up and down(: although this girl was screaming her head off....
when we reached there, we got on the bus and went back to school. and went home.
i think i liked it there.....so peaceful.....the trip would be perfect if it wasnt for the freaking mozzies and the lack of water.....ohya, and i made a new friend too(:
see so peaceful.....

TUESDAY
stupid mozzie bites were still so itchy....
so at 9am, went back to school again for biology remedial...from 9 to 12....at least the room we were in had air-conditioning...we did ten year series and like 30 mcq questions.....miss toh was there too(:
after that, i walked back to class because mr wong gave me this thick stack of notes(note to self: find time to read it). so after putting it under my desk, i walked to the bench outside class to tie my hair. right when i put my bag down, mr k(english teacher) walked out of the staffroom and saw me. after that, conversation....

mr k: hey karen. i need to go through with you the format of argumentative writing. which day are you coming back to school?

me: um, wednesday and friday...and maybe thursday..

mr k: why maybe thursday?

me: oh, because im meeting my friend to study.

mr k: i cant make it on wednesday or friday...tell you what, you sms me when you can make it on thursday.

me: ok. fine.

yah, so after that, went to meet weina, first ate lunch and then went back to school to study.

studied for like super long till about 5 to 5.30pm. by then both of us were going crazy so we went to the newspaper stand there and just flipped through it. and we came cross this picture of this guy wearing a tube top. weina starting laughing her head of and took a picture of it........she claimed that its her motivation............
after that, we packed up and left. we cut through the parade square instead of walking the other way because the principal and 2 teachers were there. so we were walking and then weina told me that our chinese teacher was also walking the same way. before i could turn my head and see, he called me.

mr tay: jie ying!

me:(turning to weina) see? you can leave earlier, you can leave later but you must leave now. and then even if we left now, we can walk the other way but no...you must walk here...

mr tay:(in chinese of course) why didnt you come for chinese remedial yesterday?

me: oh, i had cca

mr tay: where did you guys go?

me: pulau ubin(smiles)

then he asked us why we stayed back and we said to study. and he asked if i taught her or if weina taught me...lol. of course she taught me...

finally one day over

WEDNESDAY
today, i had chinese from 9 to 11.
we did compre. the writing one, not the mcq...
thank God he didnt ask me any questions...(:

after that, went to look for math teacher. and when she was teaching me, weina was also there and she was trying not to laugh. good grief....almost made me laugh.
and then whatever happened there....long story.
so after like an hour, i was like 'could we just stop here?' and she said yes. just nice, my chinese teacher had to walk pass. and he said 'hey mrs wong! giving extra tuition ah?' and do you know what my math teacher said?!?! she was like'yah lor, this girl ah..........'
hmph...( so what, its my fault??????)

after that, went with alison to buy birthday present for her dad.
so we first we went to tampines mall, to those gift shops. but dont you realise that those shops are selling stuff that are more suitable for females?
then we went to tampines one. went to this store that sells like those aroma stuff...and she asked me if she should buy that. i was like 'i dunno. its not my dad...' how in the world was i suppose to know what he likes???
about 20 mins later, we went home.

then i remembered i had to text mr k to ask him what time for thursday.
you know what he replied?
8.30am......
i wanted to say, wow that like REALLY LATE....... so that means have to wake up early.

THURSDAY

while walking to school, for some reason, it was really warm. so by the time i got to the plave outside the staffroom, i couldnt take it anymore, so i went to my table, got my biology file(since i needed to file in the notes) and started fanning myself. about 5 mins later, teacher walks out and said give him 1 minute. i was ok with that, needed more time to cool down.

then he was like 'lets go to somewhere that has air-conditioning. hows that?'
man, the word 'air-conditioning' sounded so good. i said 'yah, good idea.' so we went round trying to find a room.
finally, reached the IT room or something.... and then started talking about argumentative essay...........blah blah....ohya, did you knwo he studied in the US? cool right?. and more blah blah blah.....................then he asked me what subjects am i having trouble with.

mr k: ( not the exact words but you cant expect me to remember everything) so are you having trouble with any subjects?

me: math

mr k: which one, you have two.

me: both

mr k: ok, fair enough. any more?

me: chinese

mr k: understandable.

and blah blah. then we walked to the staffroom coz he was going to give me homework. something along the line of 'since you learnt it, must practise right?'
the topic was 'should both parents go to work when their children are young? what are you views?' oh good grief....are you freaking kidding me. but i was like 'ok, fine.....'

then went to meet weina to study again......we studied outside the staffroom there, the benches and tables. about 1 hour later, a few teachers walked up the stairs. apparently, their meeting was playing badminton...............thats ridiculous.

then late in the afternoon, there were a few workers installing lights, i think. so noisy. couldnt study so went home early.

FRIDAY

i have social studies form 9 to 11....thank God it was held in creativity hall though. air-con!(:

after that, i had chemistry. mr lai told me to take a break first, so i did my essay..... about 5 mins into it, couldnt concentrate to started drawing.(:
then did chem............about 1++, it started raining and mr lai came back from his lunch....yah, left me there and went to eat his lunch. hahas, actually he told me to go eat to but i was made to eat breakfast that morning so im going to quite full for like quite long. but when he came back, he bought bread and gave me one. since outside raining and cant go out to eat. then weina and her friend came down. her friend was going home but weina stayed. he gave her bread too(: hahas.
then chem, chem and more chem.
so in the end, had about 5 hours of chem. yah. but didnt go crazy though. surprisely. but will if its 5 hours of math.....*shudders at that thought*

when i got home, i realised that i have tons of homework!!! so stressed!!! during school holiday!!!

and then we went to the stalls and stuff(:
and me and my friends went to the haunted house. but alison wouldnt let me be in the middle.....so i was last...man, i tink they did a pretty good job with it.

then, me and my dad rushed to M1 and rushed back cause he's going back to USA. leaving at around 11+

then uncle william came over to send my dad to the airport. i followed my uncle's car.
i like my dad's flight. all angmohs. hahas. but most of them are russians. which doesnt make that much difference. cause no matter how polite they are, they seem rude or mean...which its true.
then we went to mcdonalds and i tried out my new phone. cause it can surf the internet. and as long as you use wi-fi, its free(:
then my dad left around 12+....sad......tried not to cry...

SUNDAY

i was kinda walking quickly because i had to go to the bathroom again.

we had to pass this scanner thing that checks your temperature. and the first thing i heard when i reached singapore was that my sister is cute. i mean, really?? the FIRST thing i got to hear....good grief...
anyways, then me and the guy that came back with us waited for the luggage cause my parents were still lining up for passport to be checked or something like that.
and after about 20 mins, we got all our luggage except for one. and realised that it was my luggage that wasnt there.
so we waited for 10 more mins.
by then, there was almost no luggage left except for maybe 3. but none of them was mine.
so i think my dad went to report that there was a lost luggage.
and i was freaking out. plus, i had to go to the bathroom.
then 15 mins later, another batch of luggage came out. and there it was. my luggage.
Thank God man, if not i'll be like.............

Hey! Im back in singapore already! Here is my post starting from last wednesday.
for wednesday's photos, go to gelien's blog.
WEDNESDAY
I went to the chinese tuition again with gelien.
Was there for 3 hours because gelien needed to coach michael.
after that, we went to mooyah burger because gelien was hungry. which wasn't a surprise. that girl is always hungry. hahas.
it was really good. and then we talked a lot and i was like 'man, i still need to go to yogurtland for the last time' and then, she called her mom and asked if she could send us there.
after that, we called jerlyn to ask her if she wanted to come.
and i called my mom to tell her that i was going to yogurtland and she told me sure and that my luggage was overweight......

after a while we were at yogurtland. almost couldn't finish mine.
and john was also there.
it was so funny! because you know how singaporeans have an accent when they talk?
well, gelien was saying something adn then john was like 'tok, tok'
i think jerlyn was laughing the most.

after that, we went to mozart cafe.by then, i was really full but i had to go there.
and we got red wine mousse.
it was good!

then we went home and i walked miko(:
got catherine to come out too.
we talked till about 10pm

then went home and continue to pack my stuff.
and at 12+, jackie called and we talked for an hour.
ended up sleeping at 3+, for around 3hours+

THURSDAY
the day i left....

went to the airport at around 10am.

and then when we wanted to check in, the lady behind the counter wanted to see the ITO. when she saw it, she said that my sister's name wasn't on there. and then my dad gave her a letter that explained it, i think.
and the lady was like 'no, her name has to be on this.' blah blah blah
so a few airforce guys there were busy calling someone to get them to explain.
when daniel finally managed to get the person on the phone and the lady behind the counter said that she didnt want to talk to anyone.
so in the end, we got someone to fax it to the airport.
The first time: paper got jammed.
The second time: i think the machine wasn't really working
The third time: it finally went through.

then we went to the waiting area.
we waited for about mins when they called everyone who was taking the flight to florida.
then after another 15 mins, i was like 'hey, there isn't a lot of people here. just us and 2 other people.'

another 15 mins later, this guy that came back to singapore with us for holiday, looked at the ticket and found out that we were at the wrong waiting area.
we were suppose to be at A14 not A21. so we had to walk all the way there.
Thank God we weren't late.

so we got on the plane. and we had to switch seats because infants must sit at the window seat. so we kept changing seats with these 2 people.
or as the flight attendant call it :playing musical chairs. hahas
after 45 mins of hearing my sister cry, we landed at houston.

by then, i really had to go to the bathroom. but i had to wait for a long time, while my dad was checking in.
then finally found one.
there wasnt really anything to eat there.....

then we got on SQ.
it was nice!
even though i wasn't sitting with my parents and my sister....
had to sit next to strangers...
but i sat next to a girl so it was ok. she was nice too(:
and guess what? you know how they have music on the plane?
well, i found barry's album!hahas. i was so happy.
and then i guess after seeing his cd on my screen, the girl beside me listened to his songs too! i feel so proud of myself. hahas
the plane food was ok....there was ice cream though(:
i watched 'duplicity' which was long and confusing and 'monsters vs aliens'. kinda good.
then had to go to the bathroom again...

when we were about to reach moscow, i looked out the window.
omg. the scenery was breathtaking!
should have took a picture of it.
someone said that the temperature there was 66 degrees. make me so happy.
who knew that in the airport, it was so warm!
my teacher was right when he said that no matter how polite russians are, they seem rude. true. scared the life out of me.
ohya, when we were on the plane, few people came up to check our temperature. omg, the guy that checked mine was hot!(:

we got on the plane again.....ate, sleep, watch movies, listen to music......
and soon, reached singapore!

dunnoe where friday went.

ok im going to post this first. part 2 to be continued

Yesterday was a really sad day. The entertainment world lost 2 wonderful people.

MICHAEL JACKSON:KING OF POP 1958-2009
According to LA Times, King of Pop Michael Jackson passed away on the afternoon of June 25, 2009 at the UCLA Medical Center.
The most iconic figure in the entertaining industry, master of Thriller and Billy Jean will be missed.
This is a great loss in the music industry.
Besides being the King of Pop, he was also a great father and a dedicated philanthropist who donated millions of dollars to charity. He cared deeply for humanity!
He cared about uniting people together with his music, especially his song Black or White!
He traveled the world performing and saluting different people and their cultures.
He leaves behind three lovely children: two sons and a daughter.

May he be remembered for his great music, amazing contribution in the music industry, his kindness and his dedication to his philanthropic work around the world!

May he rest in peace!

Also, actress Farrah Fawcett has died yesterday morning, after 3 years of battling with cancer. God grant that she now rest in peace.
My condolences to Ryan O'neil and their son.
Farrah Fawcett died this morning at 9:28 at the St. John's Health Center in Los Angeles after a courageous and lengthy battle with cancer. She was 62.
She was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, Farrah was actively involved in charity work with the Cancer Society and had also campaigned against domestic violence, a theme tied to "The Burning Bed" and 'Extremities.'
She is survived by her 24-year-old son, Redmond, and her longtime friend and companion, O'Neal.

I went allen for the last time yesterday!!! so sad..
but before that, i went to eat at lion city for the last time... sad too.

my sister before we left the house.

probably can't really see but there's uncle desmond and his family, daniel, song, my family and uncle winston and his family.

i ate nasi lemak. i think i ate it more times here than when i was in singapore. doesnt it look good though?

then we went to allen. i bought almost a whole outfit. except for the top....oh wells. the weather was ridiculous though...freaking warm.

only managed to take this pic of the place.
and guess what? i just heard about it today.
when uncle desmond was driving back, he hit someone's car. on the highway. wished i was there.

i came home, ate dinner, bathe and everything. and after the movie on tv was over(haunted mansion), i started packing my luggage. omg. headache. i cant really pask everything in yet, because at the bottom would be my clothes. then bags. then shoes. so have to wait for all my clothes to be in there...or at least most of it.

yeah. i think i might need more than 1 luggage.....

plus, stumbled across this video.
super hilarious.
yea, i know its barry but watch it. you would laugh your head off.

hey! just now, went to watch a movie at the dollar cinema.
actualy, we wanted to watch 'mall cop' but then the movie already started for like 30 mins? so we watched 'knowing' instead.
i think the movie kinda creeped gelien out a little? i watched like 3 quarters of it because we were sitting a little too close to the screen and i get dizzy easily.
after that, we went to the arcade and played the hockey thingy.
i lost.....
1-5 depressing..
and then, gelien played this thing on the drums but its not like those with arrows just freestyle i guess.
it was so funny! watching her get mad like that.
then, we planned to go Ross but then out of nowhere, gelien asked if wanted to go Chuck E Cheese. in the end, we went there.
it was fun!

(:
thats it. maybe tomorrow, i'll make mua chee(or however you spell it)

BARRY CORNER
By Brian Ingelson
Special to THE DESERT SUN

There are those who talk about helping and then there are those who actually do. We are
so blessed in this community to have many to whom this applies.

One of the Coachella Valley's luminaries stepped to the fore, again, and with little fanfare
changed the lives of a group of students.

You might recall that in September, Barry Manilow kicked off the Manilow Music Project
through encouraging individuals to get involved in local schools by donating instruments or
music. He collected the needs from all of the middle and high schools in the Coachella Valley
and donated $500,000 of instruments, stands and music.

His message was clear: “Anyone can do it, anyone. Just call your local elementary or high
school and talk to the music director. See what they need. You can send them a set of drums
or used trumpets that are in your basement, and that would make all the difference in the
world to young kids. That is the key, helping the kids and making a difference in their lives
and their future.”

Providing the instruments was only the beginning.

Members of the Palm Springs High School Jazz Band recently boarded a bus provided by
Manilow for an overnight trip to Las Vegas, where the members had an opportunity to meet
the singer, get a behind-the-scene glimpse on stage of the workings of a legendary concert
performer and become an enthralled audience member. They shared his performance with
more than 1,500 of Manilow's adoring fans. Manilow paid all the expenses.

Most of the students had never been to a live concert of the magnitude of the “Ultimate
Manilow” show, and most had never stayed in a hotel of the caliber of the Las Vegas Hilton.
To see the students interact with Mani low, for them to feel his genuine interest in their pursuit
of music and for him to recognize them during his show and talk about his home in the
Coachella Valley provided lifetime memories and an amazing sense of pride.

The Manilow Music Project is about ensuring that the music does not stop and that students
continue to have the opportunity to learn about the art and language of music, allowing it to
become a part of their soul. Manilow met and exceeded these goals with his gifts.

From a very appreciative group of students, faculty, and parents, thank you, Barry, for keeping
the music alive.

2009-05-26T19:34:00.000-07:00

Arghh. Today I have SOOO much homework from world geog.
stupid project due tomorrow.
stupid packet also due tomorrow.

In math, we went to collect our TAKS results!
once we entered the classroom, our teacher said 'go get your TAKS results now.'
and then the guy behind me was like 'we're suppose to collect it during lunch.' and my teacher said 'we're kinda cheating right now so go.'
hahas. so i got my results and guess what?!?! I GOT COMMENDED FOR BOTH ENGLISH AND MATH!!! yeah! 16 people out of 19 in my class got commended. can you believe it?! wow... so my teacher is going to wear skirts and bring us to sonic on friday! (:

During lunch, I went to change into my formal wear for teen leadership. We are doing a mock job interview. got 96(: pretty good.

Finally in science we didnt do anything at all. i think we were suppose to go through our review but.....oh well....

plus, dont you realise that most americans dont look their age, even though some of them dont go through plastic surgery or botox or whatever.
like ty pennington. guess how old he is. around 44! i thought he was maybe 38? 39?
and also, the dancing with the stars judge, bruno tonioli. guess how old he is. around 53! even my friend was surprised. she thought he was in his early 40s.
ohya, guess what i found out. he's gay. another guy with kinda good looks that gay....wasted i tell you..... here's a funny video. you will def. crack up.

2009-05-24T21:21:00.000-07:00

FRIDAY
Chase Porter won the election!
all because of his screech. hahas.

uncle winston and his family came!(:

finally bought my bag(:

SATURDAY
on saturday i went allen with jackie! we left at 11am. talked throughout the whole way with her eating her breakfast for half of the journey.

random pic of my sister

at first we wanted to eat at Lion City. for me, it was to annoy my friend. but when we got there, it said that they were on vacation, blah blah blah.
so in the end, we went to 3-6-9.

and guess what? jackie learnt how to use the chopsticks! yay!

so we ate and then drove to allen. me and jackie walked the WHOLE thing. never walked around that whole place before.
ended up spending about 5 hours there.
didnt really buy that much stuff because didnt walk with parents(the ones with the money)
bought something for marianne though!(:
after that, we went to eat dinner. most embarrassing thing happened.
eating something spicy, i needed water BADLY. so i kept pushing the straw through the ice and it ended up going through the cup.....good grief....my parents and jackier were laughing their heads off. not kidding.
then, we sent jackie home and went to walgreens because i needed to buy something for project. and then my parents bought a balloon for my sister.

SUNDAY
im really tired right now. almost midnight with no coffee taken today. plus 7 hours of sleep. plus staring at my project, not just any project, latin project, for about 2 hours. so talk about today maybe tomorrow?

ohya, dancing with the stars finals. long time ago, actually just last monday, shawn won! i think i blogged about this already. anyways, found the video of the finals. front part kinda funny. maybe. dunnoe...

2009-05-21T17:21:00.000-07:00

TUESDAY
omg. so on tuesday morning as i was eating breakfast, i knew i saw someone walk to my front door, bend down, got up and walked away. and you know what was the first thing i thought of 'omg. someone put a bomb outside my door. oh great, im going to die on my birthday' yah, i know i know, but my mind doesn't make sense of things early in the morning. then about 1 minute later, gelien called and said 'hey, i think someone put something outside your door.' so i went out and saw my present!!!

WEDNESDAY
final of american idol! kris allen won! yeah! personally, i wanted danny to win but oh well...
the finale was so good and super funny.

tatiana was so funny!

remember the fight between bikini girl and kara? this is good.
yeah.....and then when rod stewart performed, my dad and i were kinda debating who is better rod or barry. hahas

THURSDAY
today, we had to stay in second period for 2 hours! for me, it was english.
we had to write a poem and present today. here is my poem:

On a sunny June morning
With few white clouds in the sky
A beautiful baby boy was born
And innocence was found in his eyes.

As the little boy grew
Like all children would be
He welcomed white fleeting snow every December
Along with Santa Claus and presents under the tree.

Pretty soon he went to school
And during the first month he wished for his mama.
Years went on; he was as bright as Einstein
At last he got his white-papered diploma.

Ever since he was little
He was a musical kid
At thirteen his stepfather gave him a white spinet piano
Making it into a career he did.

Once he recorded his first hit single
That was all it took
Following that a number of his album became platinum
And everywhere he went people looked.

Thirty years in the music business
He is still as successful
From blinding white lights flashing from cameras
To fans seeing his shows and feeling delightful.

Needing to take little breaks
From a day to maybe nine
A long vacation on a sandy white beach
Or relaxing under the shining stars with a glass of fine wine.

Sadly his time to go came
Sadly his journey had to stop
Pray that God may give him another life
As it was with angels his journey came to a halt.

and then during seventh period, we had to vote for class president and v.president and stuff. chase porter's speech was awesome! hahas. i think maybe everyone voted for him. man, can't describe it.

2009-05-19T19:42:00.001-07:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME(:

2009-05-18T18:35:00.000-07:00

SATURDAY
yay! my dad came back on saturday.
at first, he called at like 11+am and i asked him if he was coming back that day and he said can't because of the weather. then i was like oh...ok.... and he said see you on monday.
later, my mom called my dad and he said something like he has a headache or he just woke up something like that.
so after that i was staring at my english paper for like hours and then at around 3pm, i looked out the window and saw this white car that looked pretty familiar.
ME: omg. i think that's daddy's car
MOM: what?
ME: yah! that's his car.
MOM: the weather so bad how to come back
ME: yah that's his car. it's white with the yellow thing on top.
(mom comes over)
ME: see? behind that stupid van.
MOM: yah!
then we pulled down the blinds, lowered the tv volume and silenced the cellphone.
so then, my dad knocked and we didn't answer it. i was about to burst from holding the laughter. i couldn't take it anymore so i went to my room. then he knocked the second time. my mom answered.
i went out and me and my mom was laughing away.
pretty funny. Thank God my dad came back that time. if later by 30 mins, he would be stuck outside because my mom and me were going to go out. hahas. good times.

SUNDAY
after coming back from church, worked on my english paper again. didn't finish it. due monday.
then went to get miko from the grooming place. omg. she looked so skinny.
forgot what happened later that night....
ohya. jerlyn came over to pass me my present(: thank you!

MONDAY
on the bus, was trying to force some secret about my present out of gelien. she stayed strong, not like the last time. i managed to find out from her that it was a memory board(: can't wait for tomorrow!

worked on my english in world geog. english was next period. trying to finish it.
in pe, dhineash got detention!!!! hahas. don't know what for but still...
in science, my teacher had to remind me the time she called me 'backpack'....in the end, my friend was laughing away for like 15 mins.......i think im going to put 'backpack' on the name section for any science worksheet in the future. good grief.

then came home and went to h-mart. planned to celebrate my birthday on the weekend. didn't want to celebrate it during the week. too tiring.

BARRY CORNER
LAS VEGAS "I learned the most about music working in the jingle industry. It was the best music college I could ever imagine."

That's what Barry Manilow said Thursday at the 50th anniversary CLIO Awards in Las Vegas, where the legendary pop composer and entertainer was presented with an Honorary CLIO celebrating his early career as a jingle writer.

Manilow's commercial work for Band-Aid might be his most famous. Indeed, his bouncy tune for the brand became indelibly stuck in the minds of a generation.

"I wrote it in one pass," Manilow revealed in this exclusive video interview as he explains how he honed his mega-hit song-craft by creating brief but unforgettable ad melodies.

MY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW! (:

2009-05-15T20:25:00.000-07:00

i know i know...i havent blog for a long time...... tons of things has happened well, something happened and then i have this stupid research paper i have to do... im doing global warming. its due monday and im only halfway done.

plus, my dad might be coming back tomorrow! all depends on the weather. if not, monday. and then we'll have to celebrate my mom birthday which was yesterday. and my birthday too! REMEMBER PEOPLE, MY BIRTHDAY!!! i think i know what to get my mom for her present. and i know what to ask for mine(: want a hint? what have i been saving money for, for the past few months?

im doing this in the order of the things that i remember. not in order of time it happened.

omg!last thursday, someone threw a brick at my friend's bedroom window! can you believe it? she said it was 2 am. wow. people really have nothing to do. either that or they are drunk. can't be someone thats really mad at her.... creepy

yesterday, my friend and i were talking about memories of elementary school. and we were talking about mother's day. there was this party thing and we brought our moms. and each of us had to do a slide where we describe our mom and the mothers have to guess which child wrote it. and i rememeber my slide was 'my mom loves shopping. she shops at ________,__________and__________. sometimes, i think shops are made for her.' and my teacher was like' who thinks their child wrote this' and half of the moms raised their hands. not my mom though. and my teacher asked who wrote this and i rasied mine. everyone was laughing. it was so funny. good old memories.

aaand, someone said that i havent blog abt barry for a long time? well here's something.

HONORARY CLIO Barry Manilow, Singer-Songwriter
Barry Manilow has produced some of the most famous advertising jingles of all time for companies such as State Farm, Band-Aid, Tab and Stridex. In 1976, Manilow was the recipient of two CLIO Awards for his well-known television and radio commercial jingles. He received a CLIO for Best Television/Cinema Commercial for his composition of the jingle "Stuck on Me" for Johnson & Johnson's Band-Aid brand (Young & Rubicam, New York), as well as an award for Best International Radio Commercial for his performance in the jingle "Countdown" for Coca-Cola Company's soft drink, Tab (McCann-Erickson, Toronto). Best known for his musical recordings including "Mandy", "Weekend in New England" and "Copacabana", Manilow has sold more than 75 million records worldwide and is ranked as the top Adult Contemporary chart artist of all time, according to R&R (Radio&Records) and Billboard magazines.

yay! congrats barry!

2009-05-02T20:02:00.000-07:00

just now, went to the movies with gelien, jerlyn and brian!
BEFORE THE MOVIE
gelien was freaking out! she was so hyper too.
brian was late though. i think because of the rain. (man, the rain was heavy)
so he came at 4.15. the movie starts at 4.05 but the beginning is the trailers. so its ok.
he looked different! was much taller!
then we bought tickets to the hannah montana movie! hahas.

MOVIE
the movie was better than i expected!
tyra banks, vanessa williams and taylor swift are in there. kinda cool. and i got addicted to one song. which is the song playing now on my blog.

almost cried. yeah..i know...

AFTER THE MOVIE
we played the thing where you use this thing to get candies. i got quite a few(:
and then we just sat there and talked, waiting for jerlyn's dad and brian's mom to pick us up.
and guess what? while waiting, we saw like this group of singaporeans there too. i think they went to watch the x-men.

thats it. tomorrow have to buy present for gelien and check with parents whether can go to vista ridge after school on monday.

2009-05-01T19:59:00.000-07:00

hey! okies. going to talk about today.
first, gelien likes another guy already! can u believe it?! its like so fast. but i just thats a good thing. especially since i think both of them likes each other(:

plus, my friend catherine, she told me that she moved like two days ago. and then i asked her where and she said that she doesnt know but its kinda at mccarthur. i was like ok.....
then today, she was like hey i saw the dhineash yesterday at the apartment and i think its called the summit. i was like OMG!!! thats where i live! and we were freaking out(: hahas. its going to be fun(:

aaand! just now went to a farewell dinner at Tokyo one. sushi!

2009-04-30T18:49:00.000-07:00

today was taks day! math taks. it was ok. i think it was kinda easy although i didnt know how to do 2 questions. but i think i'll get commended.
after taks was sustainability expo thingy.
BORING...
the first session was this talk about food and the energy usage. ok...
the second was this survey thing like how much energy you use. ok. until i went to another website and then suddenly the mouse started moving. pretty sure it was the teacher and the it exited the page. hahas. scared the life out of me though.
the third part, didnt even pay attention to it.

and. i found a few videos.
the first one is a video made by my pastor. well, he's singing a song. makes me miss singapore(: found some familiar faces in it too(:

the second one is worship service, well, only one song, from my church. love this song.

enjoy!
tomorrow going to dinner at tokyo one(:

2009-04-26T19:46:00.000-07:00

FRIDAY

then went out and finally bought a dress(:

SATURDAY

then there was this bbq. wasnt in the mood. don't know why.
but then we made smores! super yummy.

SUNDAY
went to the movies with jerlyn and jason. didn't know that it was going to be only the three of us. if i did, i wouldnt have gone and left both of them alone together(: hehe.
we watched 'knowing'. man, it was kinda scary. and depressing but finally one of few movies that i didnt cry!
and then went to eat dinner with uncle desmond and his family and daniel.
korean food, quite good. didnt eat much though because still full from lunch.
and why do so many women like richard gere?

hey peoples! im in school right now(: teen leadership, writing our mission statement....boring, i tell you... have like 25 mins left then 6th period and 7th period and then school ends!!!
in world geog, we had to pick a country and do like a research about it. I wanted an asian country. of course hopefully singapore(:
and my friend was like 'no, i hope you get india.'
i was like 'if i get india, i would scream my head off.'
and in the end, i got france(: not an asian country but its still good(:

ok. regarding the news about miss garza, they found her body in the lewisville lake. at least thats what i heard..... man....its depressing....

ok. got to work on my mission statement now. if not, im going to have tons of homework.
world geog: map
english: none
pe: none
math: obj. 7 and 5. twenty questions!
teen leadership: mission statement and have to print something
latin: i dont think i.....shit...i have worksheet...
science: i dont think we'll have anything.

ok. got to go now. BYE!

2009-04-22T19:08:00.000-07:00

i am freaked out by the news right now!
its so creepy that something this tragic happened to someone that you know.
last thursday, i tink, there was news about my teacher being missing.
and now, they said that she's murdered.
i mean, she being a teacher at my school is bad enough but she was also my teacher, now thats just so sad.
so yah, thats what the news said. they have not found the body yet though.
man, this is depressing......

2009-04-20T19:09:00.000-07:00

today in school, i told my friends abt you know, what happened, and now they are like mad! wow.
so anyways, today in school was awkward(the word of the day). i've been avoiding him and yeah..... its like in pe, wherever he is, i'll face the other way. and you know what? ok, he sits besides me right? and so i faced the other way. and then i heard "hi kare". and then i was like "shit..." and i turned around and said "hi" and turned right back.
yup, thats was all that happened today.
tomorrow dad not fetching me from school. gotta take the bus. goodluck to me(:

2009-04-18T19:24:00.000-07:00

omg. i went yogurtland today!
had to...if not i'll go crazy.
and i finally took some pics(:

but first, we went to dollar tree. and i bought peeps. ok, lah...dont exactly like it...

and then yogurtland

doesnt it look so good???

our yogurts together(:

this is how yogurtland looks like btw.
then we decided to go to mozart cafe.
everything looks so good, from the food to the decorations(:

the inside of it. looks nice right? this is how my room is going to look like(:

my red wine mousse(: its SOOO GOOD!!!
after that came home. and then at 5, went to chlovelle(hopefully spelled right)'s full moon.

love the balloons. hehe.

the precious baby(:
after that, went to gelien's house and played imaginiff. super fun!!! i was laughing my head off most of the times.

oh my freaking gosh. im like so freaking mad at dhineash. why? because he's so effing cocky! i mean, in the past when jerlyn said he was cocky, i was like, yea, maybe a little. but after gelien told me what happened, he's damn cocky ok. (sidetrack: went to barry's page and the first word i saw was cocky. hahas.) anyways, off topic. so its like he thinks he's all that? wow. i wont even tell you what he freakin said. arghh. making me pissed off right now. fell like punching him in the guts.
now i dunnoe how im going to face him on monday. but first, he better not tell anyone. if he does, i'll make sure he regrets it. and he better not talk to me or whatever. arghh, so frustrated. so, im hoping that monday after school, my dad will pick me up so i don't have to sit the school bus after school on monday, at least. hmph. not freaking worth to cry over him. rishi ro whoever he likes can like him for all i care. all i have to say is 'good luck' to them and 'screw you' to him.

2009-04-17T18:45:00.000-07:00

WEDNESDAY
went to jackie's house for science project
man, once i stepped in there, i felt so short.... all of them were so freaking tall!
anyways, jackie was right when she said that her mom would make visitors eat(: hahas.
then we worked on our project. worked all the way till almost 9pm. and guess what? we werent done yet. and it was due the next day.

oh and in teen leadership, we did the goggles thing. its like when u put on the goggles, the vision is like as if ur drunk. so it was pretty cool and fun(:

THURSDAY
cant really remember what happened... we finished our project though.
oh! and we watched the susan boyle video. she was sooooo good!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY&feature=related

TODAY

PE, last day of soccer. finally. after six weeks of soccer, man.....

2009-04-14T19:18:00.000-07:00

FRIDAY
me, jerlyn and dhineash went to 7-11. my mom doesnt know so i was like rushing. so at first i wanted a slurpee but then i didnt get any but in the end, i had a cookie(: kinda nice.

SATURDAY
nothing much. but at night, i was listening to the radio out of boredom and also hoping to hear barry.
then after like 3 hours (not exaggerating) i finally heard his music(: it was 'i write the songs'

SUNDAY
didnt go church. dont ask me why.
but in the afternoon, i went to walmart and there were ALOT of indians. never seen so many together at once before. and i bought mix for brownies.
then after i came home, i baked brownies and then at first it taste kinda nice but a little hard. so didnt give it to anyone.

MONDAY
planned to tell the guy i like that i like him(:
nothing major happened that i can think of right now...
at night, listened to the radio again and after only 50 mins, heard barry's song(: now, it was 'mandy'.

TODAY
at world geog, had to do this ridiculously long worksheet. 62 questions. bleah....

i finally didnt get hit by the soccer ball today(: i tink on monday, this girl named susan kicked the freakin ball and it went straight to my face! she's a dangerous person. and then another dangerous person kicked the ball and it hit my leg! and she was my teammate! if you ask me, i dun think teammates should hit each other....

FRIDAY
me, gelien and jerlyn went to watch movies. actually, we planned to watch 'monsters vs aliens' but for some reason, we didnt. so we watched 'taken' which was so good!!!
my gosh, if my dad or husband was like that guy.......i would be so happy and feel so protected(:
anyways, the movie is about the guy's daughter getting kidnapped and then, he went to rescue her. awesome movie(:

then came home and stayed up late to do science hw and science review for test. stayed up till like 11.45pm that i got so tired, i went to sleep without daydreaming(nightdreaming?).

SATURDAY

did science hw still.....

SUNDAY
i went to church and then went to secret recipe for lunch. i ate prawn noodles and it was the most spicy prawn noodles i ever eaten. for once, i didnt order teh tarik! miracle(:
then came home and then about 5.30pm, my dad and his friend went to church again for miracle service and i asked him to drop me off at barnes and noble. man, i LOVE the atmosphere there! i think if im going to study for TAKS, im definitely going there to study(: i think about 1 hour later, i was kinda hungry that i almost ordered like a cake to eat or something but i didnt want to sit there and eat. so i thought of buying coffee but i know that i would not be able to sleep at night.
so i stayed there, reading through books about interior design. thinking about redecorating my room when i go back to singapore(: so exciting!
total, i stayed there for 3 hours! it was kinda cool though.
after that, my dad came to pick me up and we went to corner bakery. when we reached, the doors were closed and then we realised that it closes at 9pm. so we were about to walk away when this lady opened the door for us. we went in and then the people behind the counter said ' sorry! we're closed'. i was like there are still people sitting there eating! arghh. i was so angry. well, my dad was more angry.
so yah, i bought one of the books i wanted though-a tree grows in brooklyn(:
best part of the day, flipped through a magazine and found two full pages about barry(:

2009-03-24T19:15:00.000-07:00

2009-03-21T20:07:00.001-07:00

omg. today,at the parking lot, my dad just zoomed into a lot and it turns out that there was this car waiting for that lot. my gosh, the driver was like angry but i think thank God that the driver was a lady because if it was a guy then..............i would probably need to hire a bodyguard...

2009-03-17T16:57:00.000-07:00

FRIDAY

ok in science, i was like super tired because before that, we had this talk about depression and two guys in my table at latin were super annoying so by science, i was tired so i rested my head on the table. then it went kinda like this.....

me: (resting head on table)
teacher: where's karen?
me: (got up and started waving my hand)
teacher: oh there she is! sorry, i though you were a backpack.
my friend: (starts laughing)
teacher: stop it jackie! (starts cracking up herself too)
me: (puts head down on table again because 1. was tired. 2. wanted to show my teacher that i was just puting my head on the table)
teacher: oh you had your head on the table.
me: yeah.......(embarrassed, puts head on table again)

and then she came to me and started apologizing. and then when she was passing out papers, she passed me mine and said 'here you go backpack'. i looked at her and my friend and said ' i don't know what to say...'

SATURDAY

i finally went to grapevine again! bought something. too lazy to take pic.

Mom: where are you?
Me: im walking home
Mom: oh ok. (and she hangs up)!!!

i was like....... and then she called again.

Mom: i thought you said you were walking home?
Me: yah. im walking home because my bus broke down!
Mom: (starts laughing. seriously, it wasnt necessary) oh. then where are you now?
Me: halfway.
Mom: ok ( hangs up on me)

2009-03-02T18:16:00.000-08:00

HI!
ok i should blog abt saturday.
so, after like a week of planning, me, jerlyn, gelien, dhineash, his brother and his friend were going to go to vista ridge mall to watch mall cop( which is a funny movie btw but i'll talk abt that later).
THE DAY ARRIVES!

i'll tell you abt my day from my perspective(: i woke up at abt like 9 because my tummy hurts ): anyways, then ate breakfast while watching hannah montana and suite life of zack and cody. so then i forgot what i did, then i bathe for like 30 mins(: its a miracle!

and then dhineash called and said that he was going to meet us there instead of needing my dad to fetch them. and then, we three girls went there.

when we reached there, one of the first person we saw was daniel aka the guy who gave me a bruise! with a bowling ball! *grumbles* then we walked one round to the food court and then we met them. and they introduced themselves and then we started walking to the theater. it was REALLY AWKWARD!! its like the guys were talking in their indian language...........and then i guess it was also because us girls didnt know his friends, they guys didnt know my friends, my friends didnt know him and his friends didnt know me.....good grief....yah..so the walk to the theater was kinda LOOONG.. and to make it worse, we went the wrong way so we had to go to the other side of the mall.

When we reached there, we split up girls ( go shopping at wetseal) guys go God knows where they went. so we went to wetseal and they had this sale where its like you buy something, you get another for only a penny! buy i couldnt find anything i like at that section so i went to like other racks and bought a white top(: almost bought like a set of rings but was afraid that i didnt have enough money. and then after what i felt was a while, jerlyn looked at her phone and realised that it was 3:32 when we were supposed to meet the guys at 3:35!!! so we rushed to pay and he called-to ask where we were. i told him that we were almost done. then like 7 mins later he called again but i didnt answer. since jerlyn and gelien were done paying, i told them to go meet the guys first. so jerlyn went and when me and gelien reached there, jerlyn said that they went in first. and all of us were like kinda mad and shocked......

THE MOVIE!!!

omg! the movie was so FUNNY!!! its about this guy(PAUL) who worked as a mall cop(duh, thats the title of the movie) and then he fell in love with this girl and then there was this.......wait, im not telling you! go watch the freakin movie yourself!

and my favorite part of the movie was when he went into his room all depressed and he puts a casette into the player. and guess what the song was?!?! weekend in new england by BARRY!!!! hahas. i was like freaking out and gelien was laughing away.... man, best part of the movie...

AFTER THE MOVIE

so after the movie(didnt stay long enough to see barry's name on the credits...) then we met again and then we split up again.......long story short, then gelien and jerlyn stayed back at the mall and me and the guys went back home.

AT HOME

mood kinda blah. so stayed at my room the whole time and when i mean the whole time, i was the whole freakin time. watching videos on my ipod. and of course my parents know that it was one of the times when they shouldnt come and disturb me. i watch videos until 10:30pm and i watched ET. omg. found another good singer. CHER!!! my blog song now is by her(: but barry is better though(: anyways and then can u believe that rihanna and chris brown are back together?!?! wont talk abt it because this post is realy long right now.... then after that is the second best show ever. MONK! abt this guy really good detective skills but has major OCD. kinda funny. no, really funny! then it was this half and hour commercial abt the 'midnight special'. its from the seventies. and guess what????? i saw barry o there 3 TIMES!!! hahas. it made my mood way better.

NEXT DAY AKA SUNDAY

didnt go to church....kinda tired...and my mood wasnt that good yet.

then later that day, after lunch to be exact(well, i didnt eat lunch. woke up too late for breakfast but wasnt hungry so i only ate dinner that day), we went to khol's and i bought 2 tops! cheered me up right away! i wanna buy a dress though.... and i need to buy a pair of jeans....

ok. this post is long so im not going to post abt today.
time to show what i bought

the middle one(white one) was what i bought at the mall
the other two was what i bought yesterday
click on the pic for larger view

omg. i took like twenty mins to type this whole thing......

2009-02-26T20:23:00.001-08:00

I AM SOOO MAD THAT EVEN CHOCOLATES CANT CALM ME DOWN

2009-02-23T18:17:00.000-08:00

OMG! i havent blog in a LOONG time. frankly, i forgot what happened like 2 weeks ago... ok so on like last week, my internet connection was messed up for like a few days so then on friday, my dad's friend came over and helped to set it up. and the next day, the internet couldnt work so on sunday,my dad's friend came over again and like twenty minutes after he left, it couldnt work again! i was so pissed off. and another friend ad to come over...

and on friday, i found out that nathan and his gf and a few other guys were going to vegas!!!! and my dad said that he would have let me go with them. BUT ( the big BUT) they werent just going to vegas, so i couldnt go! it was so sad....

and yesterday, i was really happy because, if you are smart enough, you would know that it has something to do with barry, i went to circuit city and it had like 50%-60% off everything and i spent like 10 mins turning my head to the side reading every cd title and finally at the very end and the bottom, i found he's cd! and it was only 7 dollars and its the newest one. so good deal!

2009-02-09T14:50:00.000-08:00

ok. i know that i didnt blog for a very long time but im just going to cut long stories short.

first of all, i didnt go to school for 4 days last week. and when i finally when back to school on friday, didnt really do a lot of work because there was a wrestling meet so for 5 out of 7 of my classes, we went to the gym and watch guys inappropriately touch each other. hahas. gay guys would be in heaven... and because i missed 4 days, this week, i have to do 3 tests....bleah...

and over the weekend, i had to write an essay and MEMORISE IT!!!! and it was due today but the teacher said that for people who missed multiple days of school last week, its due on wednesday for us! so i have 2 more days to memorise...good grief...

AAANNNDD barry didnt win a grammy!!!!!!!!!! he was robbed i tell you....lost to natalie cole...i think she won just because of the illness she is going through.....thats just stupid...
but got some really great pics of him(:
i wish they would have broadcast this...

him with katy perry(singer of I KISSED A GIRL which is my blog song, kinda good)

him with the jonas brother(did u watch the grammys? they performed with stevie wonder)

group picture!!!

him at the red carpet(: looking fabulous as always hopefully he wins next year for his original music(:

ok..too much pictures for now. and i have to do my hw. BYE(:

2009-02-04T18:19:00.000-08:00

did anyone watch american idol last night?????? if you did, you would have saw barry(: he was on for only 45 secs!!! too short. they shud have shown his whole speech...but he was great(: looked great too(:

and also, yesterday on ellen, there were these 2 girls that sang and they were realy good.
