Yo people! I know it's been a while since i updated about my trip. But ah wellz, there's been so much work and stuff. So anyway, today's tuesday! Had 3rd lang earlier, and now my aunty and this guy is here to shift the computers in my house around and install the wireless lan. Or rather, install more stuff on the wireless lan. We decided to move one com to the library there, then the other one to my sister's room, coz only she uses it la. Then coz my brother will be back soon right? So ya, he always lock his room door then very hard to use the coms if we want to. So anyway, they've like shifted the enhancer thingie around, so the connection doesn't reach my room la. So i'm using the downstairs com, which is connected via cabled LAN, and so is the most stable. Ya so anyway, shan't bore u guyz with such mundane stuff.
Ok, so school has been fine so far, it's 2nd day, and I started off today with a severe stomachache. Heh, went school and immediately had to go toilet lor, luckily today went school earlier, then wasn't late for assembly. =) Ya, so we had triple science, bio and chem were ok, but that physics that tlai dunno what's her prob la, maybe PMS or something, then like we hardly make noise (same amount as bio) and she go and say we all so nosiy blah di blah. Then she keep saying "my other classes are so quiet", when actually she only teaches 3A la. Stupid la she. Maybe 3A is better than us that's why she think we're horrible, ask her go and teach other classes la. I bet our class is good compared to them lor. Haiz. But i guess it's better than having andrew lim or leong kok weng right? =P Hahaha. So yeah, had recess. Past 2 days like dunno why never have any appetide to eat recess la, even lunch also not say very hungry. Could be also due to my blocked nose la, but yaa, I guess it saves me the trouble of walking all the way to the canteen. Maybe i'll train my stomach to not eat during recess, then just stone in class and listen to my ipod. =D Just hope i don't get gastric! Hahaha. So geog was a free period, coz Mrs Chong dunno why cannot make it, then had to do this data response thingie la. Haha, at first everyone never take it seriously, then dunno why suddenly everyone start doing, then the class was damn quiet la. Haha, so funny, so unlike 2H lor. Then was chinese, she just basically wasted the entire lesson going through the i-learning survey, haha, so most of us were just busy trying to complete the geog thingie. =P So lunch, then 3rd lang which wasn't very interesting. I usually have more fun =D Hahhhaha. Yeaa, oh yesh, and this morning got briefing from Jasper Koh about NZ trip. So fun! Haha, the deposit has been submitted la, and there's like 47 people going. So the rooming at first right, we all thought she meant that we must room with the sec1s la. Then we were like soo worried, then realized that it wasn't la, just must buddy with them. So yeah, Yh says that me him and jev room together since there's an odd number la. Haha, will be soo fun =) If not then i guess they room together then i room with my own 3F classmate lor. Or not if room with yh then jev also kena left out. Yuppx, then that Tze Wei says he wanna room with his table tennis friend. Yeaa, so wellz. Saturday have to go CIP, so early ok. 7.15 have to meet at the place. Haha, got 2 shifts la, 715 or 1015. But 715 is like till 11? the 1015 one is till 3 plus. haha, but theirs so long coz got lunch break in between la. Yeah, but i afternoon have a very important thing going on. Teeheehee. Actually during hols mdm ong had called me la, obviously asking me and kelvin to be in charge la. But I was overseas, and dunno why he didn't ans la. Yeah, so in the end she called Kennard to call 4 other people, so it's Tze wei, clem, jian yang and huching la. Then they have to stay for the CIP thingie the whole day. =P But they get more CIP points la, yeah. So oh wellz, nevermind la, at least my sat afternoon is free to do whatever I like. Sigh, sunday have to go and study for bio quiz which is on monday. Actually if u think about it, not that hard la, most of it i remembered when she was teaching. =) Anyway, got 88.5 for last term's bio CA. Very happy with myself, beat Tze Wei. HAHAHAHAAHAHAH. He must be so jealous =) Hope i beat him for everything else also, except perhaps english la. Haha, my eng sucks. And he hor, got tuition for almost every subject lor. English, chinese, chem, physics and summore lor. And yet he's either doing same as me, or max 1 mark more. As in case of physics, he got 14/15 i got 13. Haha, and i even beat him for chemistry! Whee. Aiya, but oh wellz, I'm just happy that i'm doing well recently la. Thanks to all the different incentives to making me study =) Ah wellz, anyway, hungry now, haha, (did i say i didn't have an appetite?) so going for dinner. Hopefully the wireless upstairs is up and running soon, then i can go and use my laptop. Haiz, still have to do philo journal and maths performance task. And i totally forgot how to do! Maybe tmr go school ask jev lend me then bring home copy, since it's only due on thursday. Hmm, jev, if u read this hor, better lend me! =) Yaa, so yh, if u read this, stay online today! So that i can ask you about philosophy. Well, ciao everyone and see ya soon!!

Friday, March 25, 2005
The american falls are on the left, then in the bg u can see the horseshoe falls and the giant cloud in front of it.
The rainbow bridge connecting the US, which is on the right and canada. A frozen portion of the lake.
American falls from the canada side.
Horseshoe falls. The left and right side of the falls can be seen, but the curve in the centre is blocked by the giant mist.
Hehehe. Can you figure out what this is??
My hand on the glass floor of the CN tower!
Home
Hey peeps! I'm BACK!!!! Hahahahaha. And blogging at some god-forsaken hour of the day (2.22am). Well, new york is 13 hours behind singapore time after all =) Whee. It's great to be home, excluding the excruciatingly hot weather, heh, but yeah, talk to my friends and see chars and all. Oh yesh, and the dogs! So cute, kyuu has grown furrier, maaaaan, so fluffy and squishable. Hee. Ok, so I have a block nose now, probably due to the change in weather *bleaugh*. In america there's certain instances where you're SOOOO cold, and then u walk into a building and it becomes soo hot. Then have to peeel off your jacket and stuff. Bleaugh. That's one thing good about hot weather I guess, you can wear really little clothes, and have very minimal putting on and taking off of jackets and sorts. Ah heck, ignore me. Sooo, well, arrived back in singapore at like 6am yesterday, a much better flight then the one I had while going there (explain later), then realized thaaaat... WE LOST A LUGGAGE!!!!! Horrors. Yeah, it's true. Coz we originally flew from pittsburgh, where my brother's uni is, then transitted in new york then flew back lor. So we checked our luggage all the way to singapore, so probably the people lost it while transferring it from one plane to the other. Obviously it's safer to collect luggage in New York, then recheck in to Singapore la, but we trusted them enough to help us transfer without losing it!!! Damn. I think in that bag was mostly the new stuff we bought, like clothes and shoes and stuff. Yeah, mostly my mum's la. i think. So anyway, here i am, struggling with i-learning *bleaugh*. I've successfully done finish physics, and geog (only the online stuff, report haven't, which is like 75% of the geog i have to do!!), er, halfway through chemistry now. Yeah, decided to take a break after studying ionic and covalent bonding. Yeah, so have to hurry up finish all the i-learning, and just now realized to my horror that the english forum had closed liao. Must go tell ms quah some story that I only read finish the book on friday so when i went to the i-learning then it close liao. Hmmm. You think she'll believe? Heh, but it's true la, i haven't read the book yet, and it's the start of friday, i could rush it and the story would be true! Coz i only acessed it today!! Yay! Haha. Ok moving on.
Day 1. What was the date? ah yes, 12th March, Saturday.
Well, flight was at 12, so took the flight, and it was horrible as i mentioned. Coz right, we sat first row of economy class (while my parents had the luxury of sitting business) and then the footrest is like those come up from the seat la, then only support the calf there. Your feet have no backing or anything there. Sooo, when I was sleeping, then like my legs keep slipping off, so damn uncomfortable lor, so irritating. Then the bagpack they have to put up there, coz in front there's no seat in which i can put my bagpack under (quote: Please put your carry on luggage in the overhead compartment, or under the seat in front of you.) Yaa, so it was an ultra long 18 hour flight, non-stop to new york. Finally we landed, can't remember what time. But basically took a taxi to the hotel and then daddy bought pizza for dinner. (it's still 12th march there due to time difference) Ya, so actually our room was a suite. Probably the best "suite" we ever got in our entire stay there. You know suite is like those living room, then one bedroom and one toilet right. That hotel ok la, the living room small and stuff, but all the other hotels we stay right, a suite is one where it's just one slightly bigger room with 2 beds, and one toilet. *shakes head* An executive suite is then the one with living room. But u know, the standards of hotels in like europe and america are like crap la. Unless of course u stay at like really really good 5* hotel or something, or not it's very lousy standards. Hotels in asia are like 10 times better man. Yaa, so first night shared a bed with my sister, it was a sofa bed, hmph, so small. haha. Yep, so first day over!
Day 2, 13th march, Sunday.
Well, my parents have a friend who is working in new york la, so they called her then she was supposed to like bring us around that day. So we went to visit like the statue of liberty, see the site of the world trade centre, called ground zero izzit? Dunno la, i know there's a zero inside. Er, went to see like some statue thingie that was in front of the WTC last time, and the only thing that wasn't destroyed in the fire. So what else ah? Oh yeah, we went to visit the empire state building, looked at new york from the night view (it was already evening by then). Yaa, so i think that was about it for new york lor. Well, that night we got a roll-away bed, so i slept on it, and my sister took the sofa bed (which was in fact HORRIBLE to sleep on, though it was bigger). The matress sink in at the centre one lor. Haha.
Day 3, 14th march, monday.
Whee! We went shopping today, at this factory outlet place. Factory outlets are like one level buildings and like rows and rows of them, all sorts of brands la, quiksilver, nike, adidas, nautica, gap, guess etc etc. Got FCUK also =P Yaa, so spent the whole day shopping, bought a pair of shoes, I think it's like those adidas superstar, just that the 3 stripes are different colour, like red orange and blue? Izzit blue, i can't remember. Then from the front to the back is like got one gold stip. Ya, the rest is white, nice pair of shoes =) Adidas. Bought clothes also, which i think are lost in the baggage, i really hope we get it back lor. Yup, so these factory outlets are placed usually right in the centre of nowhere, along the highway, like that time in LA last year, the drive from LA to las vegas, in the centre of the desert got the factory outlet, haha, so last year also did shopping!! Yup, so this one was like 1 hour drive from new york, we went by bus la, shuttle bus. Yup, so went back to hotel, went to eat Yoshinoya I think, oh ya, day 2 we ate TGI friday's for dinner. Haha. Bathe, slept, and whee! Day 4!
Day 4, 15th March, Tuesday.
Woke up rather early I think, went to airport, and took a flight to Washington. Haha, flight was supposed to be at 11, but coz the 10am one had space (it's a shuttle, every 1 hour have one flight) so we were put on that one, and went to Washington 1 hour early! So it's a rather boring place, more of history la. After arriving, went to check in, then walked around, went to see the white house, which was in fact like 3-4 blocks from out hotel only? Very near, then all those different war memorials la, like vietnam war, korean war, then see the Capital, Capitol? Dunno how to spell. Basically it's like our parliament la, and it's the tallest building in washington, and it's not very tall. I think maybe 8-10 stories high? It's built on a hill too la, ya, and all buildings in washington can't be taller than that building. So basically washington is really short. Hmmm. Ok so anyway, we walk here walk there, by the time evening didn't mange to see the air and space musuem la. So decided to go and see it the next day.
Day 5, 16th March, Wednesday
So woke up, took taxi to air and space musuem, and damn cool!!! Well, obviously u can tell why =) Walk here walk there, learnt many new stuff about aeroplanes and all those la, spent like 2+hours there? My mum was so bored, just sit there i think reading her book, luckily entrace was free. Haha, mummy's so nice. =) So we went back to our hotel, checked out, then took taxi to airport, where we ate lunch, and took a flight to pittsburgh! Get to see my brother after like dunno how long. 6 months? Maybe more. So he's such a twit lor. Nevermind, say later. Oh ya, must tell u one thing funny. Coz of 911 right, they don't allow you to walk around the plane for the last 30 minutes of the flight if you're flying in, and first 30 minutes if you're flying out of washington. So since the one from new york to there, and the one from there to pittsburgh were only like 30 minutes, so we couldn't even get up and walk around. So lame right. Haha, ya, so they also say that the stewardesses also can't walk around, so they can't serve us food and drinks. -.- So everyone just sit there and stare out of window. Haha. It's like we take off, go to 25000 feet, then cruise there for 5 minutes, then start descend liao -.- So anyway, when we arrived, went to collect the car that we rented, and drove the 45 minutes to pittsburgh. Haha, the car had GPS, so just key in the address and it'll lead us to the destination, damn good la. Ya, so at first it's like pittsburgh is rather mountaneous, a bit la, then drive drive drive, so horrible, everywhere the trees all dead, then like countryside la. Then went into a tunnel, and emerged from the other side of a hill, and then TADA! All the tall buildings and there were lights all around. The 4 of us like really "wow" at the same moment la. Then summore exactly after the tunnel is crossing a river, so like got reflection of the lights and everything (since it was evening and was dark la, enhanced the effect) Yaa, so it was really nice, then ok drive to our hotel. Then our dearest brother, was busy playing a soccer game! What a twit right. Didn't even come to see us. So it was damn obvious that my parents were very upset la, yeah. So we had to find our own dinner, ended up eating at our hotel, luckily that 3* hotel the food was good. Haha, called holiday inn. Yaa, so later on, after dinner, and after his game, dad and i drove to his place and picked him up, and the stupid GPS gave us the wrong location lor. Haha, we key in everything correctly, then brought us to the wrong place, then wait and wait and wait, then finally my brother told us that it was at some junction of this road and that road, then managed to find him. So very happy lor, went back to hotel, mum was delighted, cons was sleeping -.- Haha, I went to shower, then we just sat there talking and talking till like 12 midnight? Then he went over to his friend's house to study. So mugger. Haha, but I think he had work due the next day la, so yeah..
Day 6, 17th March, Thursday
I can't really remember what we did that day, but i think it was basically lazing around. So woke up rather late, then went to some "pamela's" place he recommended where their specialities was pancakes. Very nice, haha. So then we just drove around, went to some "shopping district" which in fact had nothing much, then went back to hotel i think. Yaa, then afterwards went to pick him up after his school then went to some fisherman's place to eat seafood, it was by the river la. So yeah, the food there was great! Ate like lobster and stuff. Whee! Haha. After that we went to tour around his university, called carnagie mellon. Or was it carnegie? Dunno how to spell, haha. Took pics with him, should upload and put as my blog picture =) Pity charmain didn't go, or couldn't go, or not have all of us. Sigh, very sad lor, ever since my bro went overseas all our photos always have someone missing. Luckily his birthday falls in 22nd july, where he's back here, then we at least have a chance of a family photo then. Haha, but it's odd, in our photos, there's always some flaw. Like someone'll be looking horrible la. Like last year, during some dinner when my bro was back, then my sis, chars la, went to wow wow wet, then all of us looked damn nice except for her, coz she was totally burnt, red like lobster. haha. Ok, so after touring his uni, we went to his apartment, which he shared with 2 other people. Cosy little place la, but his roommate is DAMN MESSY. Wah, i've never seem someone messier lor. All the clothes strewn around and stuff, haha. And my bro showed us his snowboard also, he bought one. Yaa, then err. I think we went back, and just lazed around lor. Hm, can't remember what we had for dinner though. Hmm, really leh, can't remember. Bleaugh. Ya, so I think that's about it lor.
Day 7, 18th March, Friday
Shopping day!!!! There was another factory outlet like 1 hour's drive from pittsburgh. Haha, so we drove there, and shop shop shop! Bought another pair of shoes =P Climacool dialect. Haha, 4th pair of climas liao. =P So now i have like 4 pairs of wearable shoes. My skechers, the 2 new ones, and my last year's climacools. Whee, but then must shorter my pants a bit, coz i will step on my own pants if i wear last year's shoes, coz those are very low. My skechers are very high heeled, so I don't step on my own pants. Dunno la, see how first. Yaa, so bought clothes as well, blah di blah.. Spent the whole day there again, haha, coz it's so big!! The place is so big lor. Ya, drove back to pittsburgh, aaaand then, went to eat sushi with brother for dinner. I think after that came back and we did more bumming around in the hotel room. Oh ya, i tried on my bro's leather jacket, damn cool! Haha, and they all say it looks nice on me! =P So he's coming back on may 11th la, then for NZ trip can take all his long sleeves and all. Oh yeah, he also bought bose headphones, they're damn powerful, and he lent them to me until he returned to singapore. Haha, 2 whole months! Yaa, so he say can borrow his jacket even if i want when i go NZ, but have to see the weather and stuff la, he say leather jacket blocks out wind, not so much the cold. So if you want protection against cold then must wear more layers of t-shirts and shirts all those kind. But dunno leh, i wear liao feel very warm also. Dunno la.
Day 8, 19th March, Saturday
Skiing!! There's a ski resort about an hour's drive from pittsburgh la, so we drove there for the day, and skiied at the mountain. And yes, in march there's still snow, although it was obvious that they were all melting la. It was slushy and actually rather horrible to ski on. And the mountain was sooo tiny compared to the japan or canada ones. And my brother's crazy la, he snowboard just go straight down one, no wonder he never bother buying good snowboard, just some cheap 90 dollar one. Good ones are maybe 300 plus? Haha. But the slopes are so short anyway, that if u go straight down, you end up at the bottom very fast anyway. So we skiied not very long la, but my brother was disappointed la, as in, coz we still have like up to 4 hours more to ski? As in, mountain closed at 7, we stopped at like 2 plus lor. But really la, very boring. So ok lor, drove back, then my brother went to sleep, while i bathed and stuff. Ok great, once again, i can't remember what we had for dinner. Ohhh ya, one night we had room service, i think it was the night i couldn't remember what I ate. Haha. Ate some beef sandwich thingie. Ok, so i still can't remember what i ate today. Hmm. Oh yes, i remember. We went to some grill place, damien's grill i think. Ya, ate like ribs there, bro and cons ate steak, my dad also ate ribs la. So the food was great! =) After that went back, then sleep lor.
Day 9, 20th March, Sunday
Ok, the big day. Niagara falls!! Whee, haha. 4 hours drive from pittsburgh. Not so whee anymore. So our original plan was to ski for both sat and sun, and then drive there, see the falls and drive back. But then since the ski resort was so boring, we decided to wake up later and start the drive to niagara falls later, and then stay one night there and then drive back next day la. So ok, we drove and drove and drove, and on the way past by that factory outlet again. haha. I think we bought a bit more stuff, and changed my shoelace of the new climas which had some frails. Yeah, didn't realize when i bought the shoe. So they ok la, change for us. Haha. Then i bought a t-shirt also, adidas one, then a new pair of gloves from another shop, coz my current ones were getting too small. So then continued the drive to niagara falls, and finally, we arrived there. Phew. But the falls were beautiful. And the it was winter right, so some parts of the lake was frozen, then yaaa, it was just basically damn nice lor. Haha, though there's like 3 falls in total. The american falls, the bridal veil falls and the horseshoe falls. Coz the niagara falls are at the border between canada and USA la, so the view from canada is nicer, coz u look back at the falls, whereas from the US side u can only see the falls going over the edge, can't really see it from the opposite side. Get what i mean? Ok, there's a lake between canada and US. The falls are on the US side, and they fall into the lake, so obviously from the opposite side, which is canada, u look across the lake at the falls coming down, see? Haha. Yeah, so take photo here and there la. So then the horseshoe falls are the bigger one and they're in the shape of a horseshoe la, it's both on the US and the canada side. But then right, coz it's sooo powerful when it crashes into the lake, that there's all this mist rising up into the air, that it's like a cloud, so most of the falls are blocked by the mist. So lame right. But in summer, coz it's hotter then more evaporation and stuff, so there's less mist lor, so nicer view. Ah wellz, but yet in winter, there's nobody at all, so you don't have to squeeze in the crowd and stuff, coz it's super off-peak season. So we decided, that since we were so near canada, that we drive to toronto to stay the night. Haha, totally out of our plan. So we crossed this bridge to canada, and the stupid officer go stop our car and check our car lor. Take like 20 minutes. Then go and open our luggage bag all those, then ask so many thousand questions. Hmph, think we go smuggle drugs or something. *rolls eyes* So finally got across, we to park and see the falls from the canada side, so beautiful leh. Haha. Ya, then drove about 1 hour plus to toronto, and then we didn't know the way there what, and didn't have a hotel booked. So we just anyhow key in marriots in the GPS system la, then got like 4 over hotels come out. So we chose the one that looked the best, and just like drive there, and turns out it was in the heart of toronto!! Haha, so pro right. So we just walked-in customer, then stayed there for the night. Oh yeah, it was like very near chinatown also, so ate at some chinese restaurant, food was really good too! Yuppx
Day 10, 21st March, Monday
So since we were in toronto, we obviously went to walk around there lor. So main attraction was the CN tower, Canada National tower, which is this reeeeaaalllyyyy tall tower, taller than the empire state building. So went up, and phew, the view was really nice, haha. Then got one portion is the glass floor, where u stand on it and look 300 over metres down. So very funny, coz my dad didn't know la, so he walk walk walk, then suddenly he looked down and realized he was nearly stepping onto the glass floor. Then obviously your first instict is to jump away la, so he was like "aiyo!" and jumped away. haha, after that then he realize it was the glass floor. So only i dared to walk on it, haha. Cons is scared of heights apparantly, though she seems to be able to rock climb really well. Haha, so nothing much, went down the tower and went to "world's biggest bookstore". It was just the shop name la, but it was obviously not the world's biggest. I actually bought a book there! *gasps* right. Haha. And i finally realize why i never really liked reading. It was actually the type of books that we had in my house that i didn't like reading. Know what i mean? So since i didn't find interesting books, i didn't bother reading, so i didn't read. My siblings all prefer those fantasy, science fiction books, but then i don't really like lor. I prefer those more emotional ones =P So in the end i bought some romance book. hahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahah!! Read it finish on the plane (see, within 2 days finish liao) So after that, we had to start our drive back to Pittsburgh. So drove drove drove for 1 hour plus, and then arrived back at the falls again. Haha, this time we got off and looked at the horseshoe falls more closely, coz previous day after staring at the american falls, it was getting dark so we decided to see the horseshoe falls the next day which is today. So look look look, nothing much la, as i said there's the permanent mist there, then went to eat lunch nearby, and the went back to pittsburgh! 4 hours drive man. Haha, once again, we stopped at the factory outlets, and had a drink there, and my mum bought a pair of shoes. Hahahaha. And constance wasted 2 dollars by playing those machine thingie, where u control the pair of claws, and then it goes down and picks up a soft toy, and then deposits it into the hole where u can claim ur price. But lousy one la, the claws were so weak! They obviously grabbed the softtoy liao, but when lifting it up right, like no power liddat, the claws just open up and never grab it. Ya, so she tried FOUR times leh, and still never mange to get the soft toy. Hmph, each try was 50 cents. Haha. As if they so easy give away soft toys one. She wanted this spongebob toy. Haha, so drove the remaining 1 hour back to the hotel, and once again, i can't remember what we ate. OH YES! we ate the most fantastic dinner ever. Went to eat at some fondue place. Where is like they have 2 bowls, like steamboat la, then like starters is cheese. So you choose what cheese you want, then they'll make it for you, then they give you like break cubes and fruits, then u dip into the cheese and just eat la. Then for main course is like you cook your own food, and they provide you with the oil or whatever you want to cook it in la. Yeah, i hated the cooking though, coz it's just simply horrible. Sometimes the oil splash out then kena your hand then very pain lor. Haha. So then desert. Woah! It was the best desert ever man. The thing u dip into was chocolate. Heavenly. Haha. Dip like cakes, marshmellows, fruits in all into the chocolate and eat. Damn nice lor. Hahaha. So whee, went back to hotel feeling bloated, and the dinner lasted for like 2 over hours? Coz take so long to cook and everything. So slept, and the last day of the holiday!!
Day 11, 22nd March, Tuesday
Woke up, went pamela's for the 3rd time this trip, 2nd was like on the morning of the drive to niagara falls. Haha, my brother told us that he only went to pamela's once the whole time he was in pittsburgh, and we all got there so few days can eat 3 times liao. haha. Yaa, so since we woke up so late, didn't have much time to do anything, went back hotel, lazed around, then at 12 plus had to check out liao. Called my brother who just finished lessons, then went to that fisherman's place again to have lunch. Haha, ate the lobster again. =P Very nice lor, and not say very expensive actually, considering it's so big and nice. =) They really cook the seafood very well indeed. So had the last meal of the holiday with my brother (hence the good food) and we went to the bookstore nearby, big one, and i bought another book. U can guess which genre la. Haha. Haven't started on it yet though, must go and read "my left foot" for english *rolls eyes*. So well, dropped him off, hugged him blah di blah, and drove to the airport!! Unloaded stuff, and dad returned the car. So we checked our luggage through to singapore, then went and bummed around till we boarded the plane. Wah, the plane was this plane that was sooo tiny lor. It's not a airbus nor a boeing plane, and it's like the crosssection is 3 people. 1 person, the aisle, then 2 people. And when u stand up, can knock your head. And then the 2 pilots right, one of them is the steward. haha. He very funny la, crack jokes, coz our flight was delayed for half hour, then sat in the plane just waiting. I mean, it was delayed coz the new york side was too busy. So they have to wait for an opening for our plane to fly there. Yuppx, so flew there, wah, that plane is super smooth, once u lift off the ground right, it's really sailing through the air la, whereas most jet planes have vibrations what, whereas this one was just pure sailing through. Whee! Haha. So we landed after like 1 hour, maybe less, then had like 4 over hours to wait before our SQ flight. Went and checked in, got our boarding passes, but like i said, our luggages were supposed to be checked through to Sinagpore lor, but oh welz.. So we passed security check, and realized that there was no food there. As in, once u go in there, cannot come out, and all the food stuff is in the main buildings. So die, no dinner. And our flight was like 3 hours more. Haha. So went to the lounge, and realized there also no food. Went to check emails and stuff, and then phew! They served meatballs! Like those ikea meatballs, hahaha, ate quite a lot of them =P Then sat there and read my book, until finally board the plane lor. So instead of sitting first row, we sat the 2nd one, and the leg rest, apart form the one supporting the calf, also have the one that u can bring down from the chair in front of you. So yay! We were very happy, coz can rest our legs against the footrest there. Yaa, so i read my book, ate dinner, slept, woke up, read more of my book, then slept and stuff i think, then watched 2 movies, incredibles and bridget jones the edge of reason, haha, watched them so many times liao. But nother better to do. Ah wellz, then we landed!! In hot little singapore. Wah, they park at the furthest gate possible lor, F60. It's like an extension from the normal building la, can tell. Haha. Yaa, so due to time change, the flight took up the 23rd of march, and when we landed, it was 24th march, 6am! Haha. U know, if you sit on the plane and stare out of the window right, you can see one day pass by really quickly. Coz like you see the sun rise, then bright, then a few hours later, you see the sun set, then it's dark liao. Quite funny la, it's like time being sped up like that.
Yuppx, so that's my entire hols. I'm now struggling with i-learning, and successfully took 1 hour 45 minutes to blog this. Woah! I wonder if anyone's free enough to read this blooody long post. Maybe split the days up? hahahaha. Ah wellz. Slept from like 5pm to 12am just now, then now cannot sleep lor. =( Haiz, better not sleep in the afternoon later on, and just take short naps, so that can sleep later tonight, better get back my timing, or not monday go school with headache, and faint. Hahahahahahah! Ah wellz, good friday everyone! =) Oooo, it's exactly 4am now =)
Day 1. What was the date? ah yes, 12th March, Saturday.
Well, flight was at 12, so took the flight, and it was horrible as i mentioned. Coz right, we sat first row of economy class (while my parents had the luxury of sitting business) and then the footrest is like those come up from the seat la, then only support the calf there. Your feet have no backing or anything there. Sooo, when I was sleeping, then like my legs keep slipping off, so damn uncomfortable lor, so irritating. Then the bagpack they have to put up there, coz in front there's no seat in which i can put my bagpack under (quote: Please put your carry on luggage in the overhead compartment, or under the seat in front of you.) Yaa, so it was an ultra long 18 hour flight, non-stop to new york. Finally we landed, can't remember what time. But basically took a taxi to the hotel and then daddy bought pizza for dinner. (it's still 12th march there due to time difference) Ya, so actually our room was a suite. Probably the best "suite" we ever got in our entire stay there. You know suite is like those living room, then one bedroom and one toilet right. That hotel ok la, the living room small and stuff, but all the other hotels we stay right, a suite is one where it's just one slightly bigger room with 2 beds, and one toilet. *shakes head* An executive suite is then the one with living room. But u know, the standards of hotels in like europe and america are like crap la. Unless of course u stay at like really really good 5* hotel or something, or not it's very lousy standards. Hotels in asia are like 10 times better man. Yaa, so first night shared a bed with my sister, it was a sofa bed, hmph, so small. haha. Yep, so first day over!
Day 2, 13th march, Sunday.
Well, my parents have a friend who is working in new york la, so they called her then she was supposed to like bring us around that day. So we went to visit like the statue of liberty, see the site of the world trade centre, called ground zero izzit? Dunno la, i know there's a zero inside. Er, went to see like some statue thingie that was in front of the WTC last time, and the only thing that wasn't destroyed in the fire. So what else ah? Oh yeah, we went to visit the empire state building, looked at new york from the night view (it was already evening by then). Yaa, so i think that was about it for new york lor. Well, that night we got a roll-away bed, so i slept on it, and my sister took the sofa bed (which was in fact HORRIBLE to sleep on, though it was bigger). The matress sink in at the centre one lor. Haha.
Day 3, 14th march, monday.
Whee! We went shopping today, at this factory outlet place. Factory outlets are like one level buildings and like rows and rows of them, all sorts of brands la, quiksilver, nike, adidas, nautica, gap, guess etc etc. Got FCUK also =P Yaa, so spent the whole day shopping, bought a pair of shoes, I think it's like those adidas superstar, just that the 3 stripes are different colour, like red orange and blue? Izzit blue, i can't remember. Then from the front to the back is like got one gold stip. Ya, the rest is white, nice pair of shoes =) Adidas. Bought clothes also, which i think are lost in the baggage, i really hope we get it back lor. Yup, so these factory outlets are placed usually right in the centre of nowhere, along the highway, like that time in LA last year, the drive from LA to las vegas, in the centre of the desert got the factory outlet, haha, so last year also did shopping!! Yup, so this one was like 1 hour drive from new york, we went by bus la, shuttle bus. Yup, so went back to hotel, went to eat Yoshinoya I think, oh ya, day 2 we ate TGI friday's for dinner. Haha. Bathe, slept, and whee! Day 4!
Day 4, 15th March, Tuesday.
Woke up rather early I think, went to airport, and took a flight to Washington. Haha, flight was supposed to be at 11, but coz the 10am one had space (it's a shuttle, every 1 hour have one flight) so we were put on that one, and went to Washington 1 hour early! So it's a rather boring place, more of history la. After arriving, went to check in, then walked around, went to see the white house, which was in fact like 3-4 blocks from out hotel only? Very near, then all those different war memorials la, like vietnam war, korean war, then see the Capital, Capitol? Dunno how to spell. Basically it's like our parliament la, and it's the tallest building in washington, and it's not very tall. I think maybe 8-10 stories high? It's built on a hill too la, ya, and all buildings in washington can't be taller than that building. So basically washington is really short. Hmmm. Ok so anyway, we walk here walk there, by the time evening didn't mange to see the air and space musuem la. So decided to go and see it the next day.
Day 5, 16th March, Wednesday
So woke up, took taxi to air and space musuem, and damn cool!!! Well, obviously u can tell why =) Walk here walk there, learnt many new stuff about aeroplanes and all those la, spent like 2+hours there? My mum was so bored, just sit there i think reading her book, luckily entrace was free. Haha, mummy's so nice. =) So we went back to our hotel, checked out, then took taxi to airport, where we ate lunch, and took a flight to pittsburgh! Get to see my brother after like dunno how long. 6 months? Maybe more. So he's such a twit lor. Nevermind, say later. Oh ya, must tell u one thing funny. Coz of 911 right, they don't allow you to walk around the plane for the last 30 minutes of the flight if you're flying in, and first 30 minutes if you're flying out of washington. So since the one from new york to there, and the one from there to pittsburgh were only like 30 minutes, so we couldn't even get up and walk around. So lame right. Haha, ya, so they also say that the stewardesses also can't walk around, so they can't serve us food and drinks. -.- So everyone just sit there and stare out of window. Haha. It's like we take off, go to 25000 feet, then cruise there for 5 minutes, then start descend liao -.- So anyway, when we arrived, went to collect the car that we rented, and drove the 45 minutes to pittsburgh. Haha, the car had GPS, so just key in the address and it'll lead us to the destination, damn good la. Ya, so at first it's like pittsburgh is rather mountaneous, a bit la, then drive drive drive, so horrible, everywhere the trees all dead, then like countryside la. Then went into a tunnel, and emerged from the other side of a hill, and then TADA! All the tall buildings and there were lights all around. The 4 of us like really "wow" at the same moment la. Then summore exactly after the tunnel is crossing a river, so like got reflection of the lights and everything (since it was evening and was dark la, enhanced the effect) Yaa, so it was really nice, then ok drive to our hotel. Then our dearest brother, was busy playing a soccer game! What a twit right. Didn't even come to see us. So it was damn obvious that my parents were very upset la, yeah. So we had to find our own dinner, ended up eating at our hotel, luckily that 3* hotel the food was good. Haha, called holiday inn. Yaa, so later on, after dinner, and after his game, dad and i drove to his place and picked him up, and the stupid GPS gave us the wrong location lor. Haha, we key in everything correctly, then brought us to the wrong place, then wait and wait and wait, then finally my brother told us that it was at some junction of this road and that road, then managed to find him. So very happy lor, went back to hotel, mum was delighted, cons was sleeping -.- Haha, I went to shower, then we just sat there talking and talking till like 12 midnight? Then he went over to his friend's house to study. So mugger. Haha, but I think he had work due the next day la, so yeah..
Day 6, 17th March, Thursday
I can't really remember what we did that day, but i think it was basically lazing around. So woke up rather late, then went to some "pamela's" place he recommended where their specialities was pancakes. Very nice, haha. So then we just drove around, went to some "shopping district" which in fact had nothing much, then went back to hotel i think. Yaa, then afterwards went to pick him up after his school then went to some fisherman's place to eat seafood, it was by the river la. So yeah, the food there was great! Ate like lobster and stuff. Whee! Haha. After that we went to tour around his university, called carnagie mellon. Or was it carnegie? Dunno how to spell, haha. Took pics with him, should upload and put as my blog picture =) Pity charmain didn't go, or couldn't go, or not have all of us. Sigh, very sad lor, ever since my bro went overseas all our photos always have someone missing. Luckily his birthday falls in 22nd july, where he's back here, then we at least have a chance of a family photo then. Haha, but it's odd, in our photos, there's always some flaw. Like someone'll be looking horrible la. Like last year, during some dinner when my bro was back, then my sis, chars la, went to wow wow wet, then all of us looked damn nice except for her, coz she was totally burnt, red like lobster. haha. Ok, so after touring his uni, we went to his apartment, which he shared with 2 other people. Cosy little place la, but his roommate is DAMN MESSY. Wah, i've never seem someone messier lor. All the clothes strewn around and stuff, haha. And my bro showed us his snowboard also, he bought one. Yaa, then err. I think we went back, and just lazed around lor. Hm, can't remember what we had for dinner though. Hmm, really leh, can't remember. Bleaugh. Ya, so I think that's about it lor.
Day 7, 18th March, Friday
Shopping day!!!! There was another factory outlet like 1 hour's drive from pittsburgh. Haha, so we drove there, and shop shop shop! Bought another pair of shoes =P Climacool dialect. Haha, 4th pair of climas liao. =P So now i have like 4 pairs of wearable shoes. My skechers, the 2 new ones, and my last year's climacools. Whee, but then must shorter my pants a bit, coz i will step on my own pants if i wear last year's shoes, coz those are very low. My skechers are very high heeled, so I don't step on my own pants. Dunno la, see how first. Yaa, so bought clothes as well, blah di blah.. Spent the whole day there again, haha, coz it's so big!! The place is so big lor. Ya, drove back to pittsburgh, aaaand then, went to eat sushi with brother for dinner. I think after that came back and we did more bumming around in the hotel room. Oh ya, i tried on my bro's leather jacket, damn cool! Haha, and they all say it looks nice on me! =P So he's coming back on may 11th la, then for NZ trip can take all his long sleeves and all. Oh yeah, he also bought bose headphones, they're damn powerful, and he lent them to me until he returned to singapore. Haha, 2 whole months! Yaa, so he say can borrow his jacket even if i want when i go NZ, but have to see the weather and stuff la, he say leather jacket blocks out wind, not so much the cold. So if you want protection against cold then must wear more layers of t-shirts and shirts all those kind. But dunno leh, i wear liao feel very warm also. Dunno la.
Day 8, 19th March, Saturday
Skiing!! There's a ski resort about an hour's drive from pittsburgh la, so we drove there for the day, and skiied at the mountain. And yes, in march there's still snow, although it was obvious that they were all melting la. It was slushy and actually rather horrible to ski on. And the mountain was sooo tiny compared to the japan or canada ones. And my brother's crazy la, he snowboard just go straight down one, no wonder he never bother buying good snowboard, just some cheap 90 dollar one. Good ones are maybe 300 plus? Haha. But the slopes are so short anyway, that if u go straight down, you end up at the bottom very fast anyway. So we skiied not very long la, but my brother was disappointed la, as in, coz we still have like up to 4 hours more to ski? As in, mountain closed at 7, we stopped at like 2 plus lor. But really la, very boring. So ok lor, drove back, then my brother went to sleep, while i bathed and stuff. Ok great, once again, i can't remember what we had for dinner. Ohhh ya, one night we had room service, i think it was the night i couldn't remember what I ate. Haha. Ate some beef sandwich thingie. Ok, so i still can't remember what i ate today. Hmm. Oh yes, i remember. We went to some grill place, damien's grill i think. Ya, ate like ribs there, bro and cons ate steak, my dad also ate ribs la. So the food was great! =) After that went back, then sleep lor.
Day 9, 20th March, Sunday
Ok, the big day. Niagara falls!! Whee, haha. 4 hours drive from pittsburgh. Not so whee anymore. So our original plan was to ski for both sat and sun, and then drive there, see the falls and drive back. But then since the ski resort was so boring, we decided to wake up later and start the drive to niagara falls later, and then stay one night there and then drive back next day la. So ok, we drove and drove and drove, and on the way past by that factory outlet again. haha. I think we bought a bit more stuff, and changed my shoelace of the new climas which had some frails. Yeah, didn't realize when i bought the shoe. So they ok la, change for us. Haha. Then i bought a t-shirt also, adidas one, then a new pair of gloves from another shop, coz my current ones were getting too small. So then continued the drive to niagara falls, and finally, we arrived there. Phew. But the falls were beautiful. And the it was winter right, so some parts of the lake was frozen, then yaaa, it was just basically damn nice lor. Haha, though there's like 3 falls in total. The american falls, the bridal veil falls and the horseshoe falls. Coz the niagara falls are at the border between canada and USA la, so the view from canada is nicer, coz u look back at the falls, whereas from the US side u can only see the falls going over the edge, can't really see it from the opposite side. Get what i mean? Ok, there's a lake between canada and US. The falls are on the US side, and they fall into the lake, so obviously from the opposite side, which is canada, u look across the lake at the falls coming down, see? Haha. Yeah, so take photo here and there la. So then the horseshoe falls are the bigger one and they're in the shape of a horseshoe la, it's both on the US and the canada side. But then right, coz it's sooo powerful when it crashes into the lake, that there's all this mist rising up into the air, that it's like a cloud, so most of the falls are blocked by the mist. So lame right. But in summer, coz it's hotter then more evaporation and stuff, so there's less mist lor, so nicer view. Ah wellz, but yet in winter, there's nobody at all, so you don't have to squeeze in the crowd and stuff, coz it's super off-peak season. So we decided, that since we were so near canada, that we drive to toronto to stay the night. Haha, totally out of our plan. So we crossed this bridge to canada, and the stupid officer go stop our car and check our car lor. Take like 20 minutes. Then go and open our luggage bag all those, then ask so many thousand questions. Hmph, think we go smuggle drugs or something. *rolls eyes* So finally got across, we to park and see the falls from the canada side, so beautiful leh. Haha. Ya, then drove about 1 hour plus to toronto, and then we didn't know the way there what, and didn't have a hotel booked. So we just anyhow key in marriots in the GPS system la, then got like 4 over hotels come out. So we chose the one that looked the best, and just like drive there, and turns out it was in the heart of toronto!! Haha, so pro right. So we just walked-in customer, then stayed there for the night. Oh yeah, it was like very near chinatown also, so ate at some chinese restaurant, food was really good too! Yuppx
Day 10, 21st March, Monday
So since we were in toronto, we obviously went to walk around there lor. So main attraction was the CN tower, Canada National tower, which is this reeeeaaalllyyyy tall tower, taller than the empire state building. So went up, and phew, the view was really nice, haha. Then got one portion is the glass floor, where u stand on it and look 300 over metres down. So very funny, coz my dad didn't know la, so he walk walk walk, then suddenly he looked down and realized he was nearly stepping onto the glass floor. Then obviously your first instict is to jump away la, so he was like "aiyo!" and jumped away. haha, after that then he realize it was the glass floor. So only i dared to walk on it, haha. Cons is scared of heights apparantly, though she seems to be able to rock climb really well. Haha, so nothing much, went down the tower and went to "world's biggest bookstore". It was just the shop name la, but it was obviously not the world's biggest. I actually bought a book there! *gasps* right. Haha. And i finally realize why i never really liked reading. It was actually the type of books that we had in my house that i didn't like reading. Know what i mean? So since i didn't find interesting books, i didn't bother reading, so i didn't read. My siblings all prefer those fantasy, science fiction books, but then i don't really like lor. I prefer those more emotional ones =P So in the end i bought some romance book. hahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahah!! Read it finish on the plane (see, within 2 days finish liao) So after that, we had to start our drive back to Pittsburgh. So drove drove drove for 1 hour plus, and then arrived back at the falls again. Haha, this time we got off and looked at the horseshoe falls more closely, coz previous day after staring at the american falls, it was getting dark so we decided to see the horseshoe falls the next day which is today. So look look look, nothing much la, as i said there's the permanent mist there, then went to eat lunch nearby, and the went back to pittsburgh! 4 hours drive man. Haha, once again, we stopped at the factory outlets, and had a drink there, and my mum bought a pair of shoes. Hahahaha. And constance wasted 2 dollars by playing those machine thingie, where u control the pair of claws, and then it goes down and picks up a soft toy, and then deposits it into the hole where u can claim ur price. But lousy one la, the claws were so weak! They obviously grabbed the softtoy liao, but when lifting it up right, like no power liddat, the claws just open up and never grab it. Ya, so she tried FOUR times leh, and still never mange to get the soft toy. Hmph, each try was 50 cents. Haha. As if they so easy give away soft toys one. She wanted this spongebob toy. Haha, so drove the remaining 1 hour back to the hotel, and once again, i can't remember what we ate. OH YES! we ate the most fantastic dinner ever. Went to eat at some fondue place. Where is like they have 2 bowls, like steamboat la, then like starters is cheese. So you choose what cheese you want, then they'll make it for you, then they give you like break cubes and fruits, then u dip into the cheese and just eat la. Then for main course is like you cook your own food, and they provide you with the oil or whatever you want to cook it in la. Yeah, i hated the cooking though, coz it's just simply horrible. Sometimes the oil splash out then kena your hand then very pain lor. Haha. So then desert. Woah! It was the best desert ever man. The thing u dip into was chocolate. Heavenly. Haha. Dip like cakes, marshmellows, fruits in all into the chocolate and eat. Damn nice lor. Hahaha. So whee, went back to hotel feeling bloated, and the dinner lasted for like 2 over hours? Coz take so long to cook and everything. So slept, and the last day of the holiday!!
Day 11, 22nd March, Tuesday
Woke up, went pamela's for the 3rd time this trip, 2nd was like on the morning of the drive to niagara falls. Haha, my brother told us that he only went to pamela's once the whole time he was in pittsburgh, and we all got there so few days can eat 3 times liao. haha. Yaa, so since we woke up so late, didn't have much time to do anything, went back hotel, lazed around, then at 12 plus had to check out liao. Called my brother who just finished lessons, then went to that fisherman's place again to have lunch. Haha, ate the lobster again. =P Very nice lor, and not say very expensive actually, considering it's so big and nice. =) They really cook the seafood very well indeed. So had the last meal of the holiday with my brother (hence the good food) and we went to the bookstore nearby, big one, and i bought another book. U can guess which genre la. Haha. Haven't started on it yet though, must go and read "my left foot" for english *rolls eyes*. So well, dropped him off, hugged him blah di blah, and drove to the airport!! Unloaded stuff, and dad returned the car. So we checked our luggage through to singapore, then went and bummed around till we boarded the plane. Wah, the plane was this plane that was sooo tiny lor. It's not a airbus nor a boeing plane, and it's like the crosssection is 3 people. 1 person, the aisle, then 2 people. And when u stand up, can knock your head. And then the 2 pilots right, one of them is the steward. haha. He very funny la, crack jokes, coz our flight was delayed for half hour, then sat in the plane just waiting. I mean, it was delayed coz the new york side was too busy. So they have to wait for an opening for our plane to fly there. Yuppx, so flew there, wah, that plane is super smooth, once u lift off the ground right, it's really sailing through the air la, whereas most jet planes have vibrations what, whereas this one was just pure sailing through. Whee! Haha. So we landed after like 1 hour, maybe less, then had like 4 over hours to wait before our SQ flight. Went and checked in, got our boarding passes, but like i said, our luggages were supposed to be checked through to Sinagpore lor, but oh welz.. So we passed security check, and realized that there was no food there. As in, once u go in there, cannot come out, and all the food stuff is in the main buildings. So die, no dinner. And our flight was like 3 hours more. Haha. So went to the lounge, and realized there also no food. Went to check emails and stuff, and then phew! They served meatballs! Like those ikea meatballs, hahaha, ate quite a lot of them =P Then sat there and read my book, until finally board the plane lor. So instead of sitting first row, we sat the 2nd one, and the leg rest, apart form the one supporting the calf, also have the one that u can bring down from the chair in front of you. So yay! We were very happy, coz can rest our legs against the footrest there. Yaa, so i read my book, ate dinner, slept, woke up, read more of my book, then slept and stuff i think, then watched 2 movies, incredibles and bridget jones the edge of reason, haha, watched them so many times liao. But nother better to do. Ah wellz, then we landed!! In hot little singapore. Wah, they park at the furthest gate possible lor, F60. It's like an extension from the normal building la, can tell. Haha. Yaa, so due to time change, the flight took up the 23rd of march, and when we landed, it was 24th march, 6am! Haha. U know, if you sit on the plane and stare out of the window right, you can see one day pass by really quickly. Coz like you see the sun rise, then bright, then a few hours later, you see the sun set, then it's dark liao. Quite funny la, it's like time being sped up like that.
Yuppx, so that's my entire hols. I'm now struggling with i-learning, and successfully took 1 hour 45 minutes to blog this. Woah! I wonder if anyone's free enough to read this blooody long post. Maybe split the days up? hahahaha. Ah wellz. Slept from like 5pm to 12am just now, then now cannot sleep lor. =( Haiz, better not sleep in the afternoon later on, and just take short naps, so that can sleep later tonight, better get back my timing, or not monday go school with headache, and faint. Hahahahahahah! Ah wellz, good friday everyone! =) Oooo, it's exactly 4am now =)
Friday, March 11, 2005
Friday
Finally! Tests are ALL over for this term. Well, it has been a loooong loooong term, but a good and satisfying one =) Wahh, i tell u ah. That stupid ss test, on the last period of the last day of the last week of the term. If only it was the last term, then it'll seriously be the last last last test man. Haha. Hence i define "last class to take the test." Poor us, other classes like jev i think, finish on wed la, then afternoon, thurs and today can rejoice liao, whereas poor me have 3rd lang to study for on wed, and ss to study last night. But nevermind, all this studying has been worth it. Anyway, I shall announce my marks to everyone, unlike certain people whom for dunno what reason refuse to say. I mean seriously lor, I felt that I would have been considered a close enough friend to know your marks, so what if you didn't do as you expected? Not as though it's the end of the world and people are going to condemn you until you die right? And being your good friend, I wouldn't like say you mugger or suan you if u do worse than me right? (though i doubt it). Ah so anyway, here goes.
1. Bio lab assignment (this is not really counted but i wanted to extra) on osmosis, full marks =P This was with help of the bonus qn la, i minus 1 i think, but managed to get 2 for bonus =P
2. Bio test, 26/30 WITHOUT cheating, unlike CERTAIN people who got 29 with cheating. If i knew had to study for taxonomy table, i would have gotten 29 as well. Hmph.
3. Chemistry test, 25/30. No cheating either =) Aiya, i didn't cheat for any tests this term, except a leeetle bit for ss =P What to do, everyone discuss discuss in front of me right? Last class to take.. *innocent look*
4. Geography test, 12/15. I know i said i got 7.5 in previous post, i'll explain later. No cheating.
5. Maths test, 25/30 *gasps faints and dies* I soooo didn't expect to do so well, thought i'd get above 20, but not above like 24. Let x be my maths marks. I expected to get 19 < x <25. Understood?
6. Chinese test (don't feel like saying) 50/80, no cheating.
7. English comprehension (don't feel like saying either) 20/30. Screwed it up la, that ms quah didn't tell us it was test lor..
Yuppx, so that's my marks so far for this term. Left with physics and ss lor. That Mrs Tan so amazing, wed just took maths test, today already got all the results. But she didn't return the paper la, ya, just hear the results. So anyway, my geog marks. I said in like a few posts earlier that i got only 7.5 right? Turns out it really was wrong! I mean, i couldn't have possibly done that badly right? Yaa. So actually, she recorded Philbert's marks as mine, and mine as his. She also arranged the papers wrongly la. So we have to give her our files to check, then we can get back our test paper. So when i got mine back, I just took it and look at the marks, didn't bother checking the name. So people kept asking me what i got what i got, then i refuse to tell them at first, though i WOULD HAVE told them later on, after getting over the shock (probably 5 minutes?). Ya, so after i did get over the shock, i looked at the paper, the back there, then saw i got 4 marks, full marks for that qn. So then i looked through the paper to the other side, and saw like a faint 0 there la. So ya, very upset. Then i looked again and realized that the handwriting was tooooo neat liao, so i turned over and found out that it was philbert's paper!!! So yaaa, i ran over then demanded my paper lor, and found out i got 12. So ya, very happy, but felt rather bad for philbert lor, coz he that time at first thought that he got 12 mah, then now turns out he got only 7.5. Ya, so that's the story. I made sure that she changed my marks, haha. Ya, so this term for geog i got 80%. Coz the CA for this term consists only of this test, and of the other quiz, which i got 8/10. If u calculate this test, it also turns out to be 80%. So 80% combined with 80% is 80% la! Hahaa, no wonder my maths so pro. *lame* Mmhmm, so here's alll my marks!!
Ok, moving on. As I mentioned, i had tests everyday of this week, thus i didn't blog since, like, sunday? I think so. I have been sleeping at 12 every night, except for I think the night that I had 3rd lang test, slept at 11. =) *yawnz* So i should be sleeping pretty early tonight. Ok, this is freaky. Kyuu's on my lap, and she seems really desperate for something. She's putting her paw on my chest, and staring at my face.. Ahh!! She's licking my face now!! Shoo! Ok good.. Anyway, *wipes*, I can't wait to go new york! The only thing i'm a leeetle regretful of is i guess going out with my friends lor, when school term starts, there'll be quizzes and stuff. So xiao right, school's so hectic. So much for "no examinations". Sigh, instead we study for quizzes and small tests. But then, they say tests easier all those, but then, the topics tested are the same, so how do we know which to study which not to study? So in the end we still study and stress over the test the same amount as we would if it were a big examination right? Big exam we study, more questions come out. Small tests, we study same amount, but less questions come out and waste our time. Hai.. Dunno la, everything also quiz quiz quiz, then they say easy easy easy. So first bio quiz i never really study, then in the end dunno a lot, though i somehow still got 10/15. Yaa, so learnt my lesson and stuuuudied very hard for tests =P And of course had inspiration from certain individual. *cough*. Yuppx, so today was the house track and field, most people reading this'll know how it went, though maybe some of u ponned? Tsk tsk tsk. hahaha. Yaa, so I was just suggesting to boyi that maybe the house com should like get everyone to run, then they pick those potential runners for morrison house, then like maybe train every once a week for the next 1 year, then by next year we should be much better lor. Haha, dunno la, wonder if people'll agree to it? But seriously, I think it'll help a great deal. Most people now don't join because they lack confidence, as in, they don't usually run? So they don't know their own standards. Then of course there's just the simply uncooperative ones, who can run but simply refuse to run *cough again*. Then again, the house com themselves aren't very pushy on the running thingie. As in, I feel they don't force people to do it. Seems like other houses they make everyone go for tryouts lor, then they pick the best? Not sure. But it sure seems that Bayley had some weird strategy this year to be able to suddenly win!! Mmhmm, so any house com reading this, maybe can suggest that suggestion? Hopefully someone capable of the post will be elected this year, then morrison can seriously win, finally. Esp since next year is our last year in RI, must have a great year right? Fighting for 3 years, and finally getting it. Ahh.. =) So anyway, i digressed if u didn't notice. I was talking about going new york!! Haha, I also like rather worried coz there's tons of the i-learning to do. There's like maths, english, then chinese. Chinese is killer lor, soooo many stuff she wants us to do! Plus the forum. If we don't go, then she'll call us to remind us to go. And besides, i don't have the han shen also lor. Xian.. Sigh, nevermind la, when i come back then just have to ruuush everything. In 3 short days!! How horrid. I doubt i'll be able to make it, then on sunday night, panick. Sleep at 12. Then monday night have to study for bio quiz. Then sleep at 12 again. -.- Xiiiian. Soo much homework. Hopefully I have some time to do there lor, though I probably won't be in the mood to. So people!!! Wish me best of luck!! Whee.. Ah weell, so life for me is good. Not much worries, esp since now they say that cca points aren't included in the admission of universities. I mean seriously la it's stupid. What if you're simply soo lousy that you can't do anything? Does that mean that you're not going to be able to study well? Does that mean you can't be like a lawyer or something which totally doesn't require any sporting skills? And doesn't a cca take up more time, hindering you from studying well in sec school and doing worse in like ur Os then followed by ur A levels? And the system that you've no core cca then no points is stupid. What if the core cca doesn't want to take you in? And you suck at everything else? But then you're goood at let's say interact club, or photography and all those library stuff, but coz they're only merit ccas so u don't get any credit. Don't you think it's stupid? Everyone should be credited for whatever they do. So what if it's just a merit cca and it's so chicken that it's can't be counted as a core? Give less points la, then the person himself have to go and find more merit ccas to get more points lor. But like i said, now that universities don't requite ccas for admission, one problem lingering around in my brain is now almost sloved. Hopefully. Mmmhmm.. So anyway, now my favourite songs are "against all odds" by mariah carey and westlife. Thanks to bennett to introducing it to me, btw, i'm not mad for you for the physics thing anymore =) It's passe. Then also got "born to make you happy" by britney, rather old song.. Then "unwritten" by natasha bedingfield, and "rumours" by lindsay lohan. Not say very new new songs la, but ok lor. Now very few nice new songs liao, so have to wait a while before there's nice songs to listen to. La la la.. Nothing much to blog about now, so i guess i'll stop here.
Weeellll, if i have the chance, I might pop by in New York to blog a little, to tell u guys i'm still alive and happy =) Hahaha. Yea, but if I don't, then see ya allll on 24th or march! What a long time! Haha, flight tomorrow is at 12.30, so anyone interested in sending me off? =P No? Haha. Till then, see ya all faithful blog readers of mine =D Luv ya all!
1. Bio lab assignment (this is not really counted but i wanted to extra) on osmosis, full marks =P This was with help of the bonus qn la, i minus 1 i think, but managed to get 2 for bonus =P
2. Bio test, 26/30 WITHOUT cheating, unlike CERTAIN people who got 29 with cheating. If i knew had to study for taxonomy table, i would have gotten 29 as well. Hmph.
3. Chemistry test, 25/30. No cheating either =) Aiya, i didn't cheat for any tests this term, except a leeetle bit for ss =P What to do, everyone discuss discuss in front of me right? Last class to take.. *innocent look*
4. Geography test, 12/15. I know i said i got 7.5 in previous post, i'll explain later. No cheating.
5. Maths test, 25/30 *gasps faints and dies* I soooo didn't expect to do so well, thought i'd get above 20, but not above like 24. Let x be my maths marks. I expected to get 19 < x <25. Understood?
6. Chinese test (don't feel like saying) 50/80, no cheating.
7. English comprehension (don't feel like saying either) 20/30. Screwed it up la, that ms quah didn't tell us it was test lor..
Yuppx, so that's my marks so far for this term. Left with physics and ss lor. That Mrs Tan so amazing, wed just took maths test, today already got all the results. But she didn't return the paper la, ya, just hear the results. So anyway, my geog marks. I said in like a few posts earlier that i got only 7.5 right? Turns out it really was wrong! I mean, i couldn't have possibly done that badly right? Yaa. So actually, she recorded Philbert's marks as mine, and mine as his. She also arranged the papers wrongly la. So we have to give her our files to check, then we can get back our test paper. So when i got mine back, I just took it and look at the marks, didn't bother checking the name. So people kept asking me what i got what i got, then i refuse to tell them at first, though i WOULD HAVE told them later on, after getting over the shock (probably 5 minutes?). Ya, so after i did get over the shock, i looked at the paper, the back there, then saw i got 4 marks, full marks for that qn. So then i looked through the paper to the other side, and saw like a faint 0 there la. So ya, very upset. Then i looked again and realized that the handwriting was tooooo neat liao, so i turned over and found out that it was philbert's paper!!! So yaaa, i ran over then demanded my paper lor, and found out i got 12. So ya, very happy, but felt rather bad for philbert lor, coz he that time at first thought that he got 12 mah, then now turns out he got only 7.5. Ya, so that's the story. I made sure that she changed my marks, haha. Ya, so this term for geog i got 80%. Coz the CA for this term consists only of this test, and of the other quiz, which i got 8/10. If u calculate this test, it also turns out to be 80%. So 80% combined with 80% is 80% la! Hahaa, no wonder my maths so pro. *lame* Mmhmm, so here's alll my marks!!
Ok, moving on. As I mentioned, i had tests everyday of this week, thus i didn't blog since, like, sunday? I think so.

Sunday
Ouch. My bones hurt. My legs are ELONGATING!!! Horrors of horros!!! *GASPS* I'm actually growing!!!! (i hope) Oh man, owww. I'm serious!! Ok nevermind. Anyways, tooooday was nothing much. Woke up at like 11 when aunty came in. Hehe, went downstairs and realized to my utmost horror that there were NO brownies left!! Ahh. Ok, so decided not to eat breakfast. *hmph* Went upstairs, bathed and then left house at around 11.20 to taka there buy sashimi for lunch. Ya, so bought a little bit too much =P Haha, and we decided to buy the salmon belly to try out. And my dearest aunty can't tell the difference, sigh, so nevermind, don't waste money on her, i ate the whole lot =P So nice!!! Ok, backtrack, we left taka, which was like 12.10? Ya, then drove allll the way to her Chua Chu Kang house and arrived there at like 12.45. So long. Ya, ate lunch, and the above happened. Haha, finished at like 1.30, then sat there to let my little stomach settle =) So went training like 15 minutes early, but ended up waiting till 2.30 la, coz the courts were being used. -.- Yup, so coach decided to make it a little different today. Instead of like 15 point game, we play 7 points only, so more games though shorter each time la. But nevermind la, get to play with and against many different people. Yaa, I think my racket string got prob lor, cannot hit/smash hard at all. The tension maybe loosen liao. Dunno la. Yaa, so after that came home, err, can't really remember what i did. Oh ya, watch tv, some lame show which i don't really get what's its point, ate dinner, which daddy bought from newton, then came up, did maths assign finish and 1 and half page of supplementary ws. And then here I am blogging! Haha. So boring right? Yaaa. Oh yesh, I went to watch A series of unfortunate events with family yesterday, and it was ok la. I think most of you here should know what it's about, basically these 3 children get orphaned when their parents die in a fire, which was started a distance away from the house, by magnifying the sun's rays onto the house, then it catch fire la. So basically they go to their first guardian, who's this count olaf. He's damn bad and evil one la, make them do all sorts of stuff. Ya, then he tries to kill them by putting the car on the train track, then the children somehow find a way to save themselves. Ya, then they are taken to another guardian who's like this reptile guy, who has tons of snakes. Then the count olaf pretends to be the helper and turns up la. Ya, so they somehow manage to tell the guy that he's an imposter, and then that night, the count olaf kills the guy. Oh ya, and his wife and chidren were also killed in a fire. Yaa, so then the count say that he was killed by a snake la, then turns out the snake is superfriendly, so he of course flee right? Coz police and everything there. Ya, so then they go to another guardian, who lives in a house put up on props on like a REALLY high cliff. So ya, the woman is like very particular about english, and then she doesn't want them to do certain stuff, because like certain stuff will happen. Like she didn't want them to touch the doorknob coz dunno what later it explode then go into the eyes, then don't stand near the fridge coz it'll topple over and squash them, then she doesn't on the stove coz later it catch fire. Then the count olaf turns up like a fisherman (the house is next to the sea) then the woman falls for him la. Ya, so she ask them to leave, and return later on at night. So when they return, they find the glass broken and a suicide note. Then on it she tells them why she wanna die, but there's like a lot of grammatical error, which is so not her la. Ya, so the boy finds out that all the wrong spellings is actually a code, then finds out where she is. So they go there, then saves her on a boat. But then they get attacked by leeches. (that's how her husband died) Leeches can smell you when you've eaten something within an hour, and her husband when out after waiting only 45 minutes. So ya, she had eaten a banana, so then count olaf comes and save them, but lets the woman die la. So sad. Then the banker, who's in charge of the children to keep their money save and find them a guardian plus the police officer comes on another boat and find them. Then the count shoves the boy's head into the water and pretends as though he has just saved them. Ya, so the banker says like how could he ever doubt the count? And sends them to live with him again. Ya. So then the count finds out that he cannot get the family fortune until the girl's 18, or if 2 people are married, they can share each other's money. So he goes and marry her la. But then how'd they consent? So he makes it into a play, like he's gonna marry her, then like the audience come and watch la. Ya, but he makes sure everything is right, like even the person acting as the judge is also a real judge, then the certificate is real. Then he makes her say "i do" by hanging the younger sister from a high place, then if she doesn't say so, then he'll drop her and she'll die la. Ya, but the brother escapes and climbs up there and finds out the giant eye there where there's the magnifying glass. Then he finds out that the count is the one that killed the parents. Ya, so then after that, the ceremony is over, then everyone clap clap clap right? Then can't really remember but somehow it gets out, then everyone is like *gasps* la. Then he waves the certificate around, but then the brother up there has set the magnifying glass on it, then exactly the sun comes out, then he burns it la. Ya, so since it's gone, then all the police rush forward and grab him lor. Then he's caught! Yaa, so they put him through whatever he put the children through, like make him sit in a car when a train's coming all those. Hahaha. And make him sit in a boat with leeches. Mmhmm, i just basically told u the entire movie =) I should put a warning up there eh? But i'm evil. Teeheehee. Ah wellz.. Wonder what i'll do for tomorrow's remaining half day? In between 10 and 11 probably like trrrry to do maths supplementary, though i think i probably will be in canteen eating or something. Haha. Ya, must bring ipod, then can sit there and relax! Ah wellz, better go and sleep liao, quite late. Goodnight people!!

I hate bennett
I hate bennett. Ass la he, go and ask theresa lai say what 3H people can't go from 10-11 coz they have ss right, then she go say stay back from 11-11.30. So what the hell she expect us to do from 10-11????? Stupid la he, then now so bo liao, stay back until so late. Bloody hell. Hmph. Xianz, I thought monday stay till 10.30 can liao =( Aiya, nevermind la.. So it's saturday, nothing interesting actually, woke up at like 11.20, then immediately too a shower and went paragon to have lunch. Had lunch, some noodles thingie, then went SIA and sat there for maybe half hour? Daddy was busy boooking all the different flights la, like to New York, then all his own business trips. Sat there and like just stared into space, looked at the krishop book a bit, found nothing interesting to buy.. Ok then we proceeded to m1 shop, while my mother and cons had already like gone to takashimaya there la. So we looked around, got to take a look at the Samsung D500C, really cool phone. 1.3 megapixal cam, bluetooth, tri-band i think. Ya, but i mean it's smaller than most other phones of it's type. But it's like 898, haha. Ok, so went over to taka, found them at piaget, err, went over kino there to look at books. Well, mostly cons la, coz i'm not very interested. Ya, she bought like 3 books i think. So then we went over to shaw centre, where she bought her new RJ uniform! =P Haha, even though she dunno her school posting, but 6 points is like 99% go RJC liao lor. Then we popped by the treadmill shop, coz our new treadmill got prob la. Like the thingie is only in miles, then cannot change to km. So it's very troublesome, then also the side handle is made of metal. So once u touch it will get static la, damn annoying. That day i use then first time i touch then kena shocked, so pain. Then i run then hit it accidentally also kena shocked. Ya. So in the end, we're changing to another one, which is a slightly older model I think, but it's even larger than the one we bought (which is already very big) and doesn't have side handles. Yupp, it's like $300 more, so we'll just pay the difference. So went macs to buy lunch for chars, who's at home, then came home lor. Now blogging =) Haiz, I'm too xian to do homework now, but yet there's nothing to do. I feel like watching taxi, don't ask me why =P Hahaha, xian xian xian.. Ok la, shall go and find something constructive to do. See ya all =D

Friday
Yo people, no training today. Sports hall I go to is under repaiting works for whole of march. Xian la, nevermind, 2 weeks, march hols and i-learning i probably can't go anyway. Yeaa, so anyway, Monday that jacq sim say test on friday instead, so no need to stay back. Then that bennett saw theresa lai, go ask her when the test was, then she say tuesday, then she remembered, then asked us to stay back on monday so that she could give back some assignments and revise. 45 mins liddat, yeaa. So stupid right, that bennett. Yea, but i'd rather have physics than ss test anytime!! =P So anyway, today's friday, had my first mentoring session earlier on. Quite fun la today, was orientation where we got to meet the mentees, so we played games la. So first game was like this name game, where a person stands in the centre, he calls out 2 names, one from RI and one from Da Qiao, then they stand up and exchange places. Then the guy in the centre must try to grab one of the person's space la, then whoever's left stranded must call another 2 people and it goes on and on. Haha. So yea, seems like me and my name is very rememberable, though they seemed to find calling Alex the funnest =) Everyone forgets the chinese names like Yh lor. Lucky piggo. Haha, yea, then next game was like this piece of paper, where they say stuff like "A person with blood type A" or "A person who likes to swim". Yea, then u must go around and find people who satisfy the statement, then ask them to sign la. Then it's like in 5 by 5 grid square, so must get like 5 in one line then counted as "finish". Haha, so i satisfied like 13/25 of the squares, which is counted as a lot liao lor. Hahhaa. There was stuff like "gone to japan before" and "has seen snow" or "has a maid at home" and "has a pet dog at home". Yuppx, so 3rd game was quite lame la, about like some killer thingie. Where we all close our eyes, then this guy goes around tapping people on the shoulder. Whoever's tapped twice is the killer, all others are tapped once. So then they open eyes, then stand up and shake each other's hands. So the killer shakes people's hands and digs their index fingers into the palm of the other guy la. Then the other guy must shake 3 other people's hands, before he dies on the ground. Yaa, then people who're still alive must guess the killer la. But quite unsuccessful la, coz some people kena "killed" then of course they know who the killer is right? Then they tell everyone. -.- Ya, so not very good lor, haha. Then after that they played "blind mice". This one was like they want to play la, coz we ran out of games. So Alex was the blind guy, he go around trying to catch people. So like they'll run here run there, stamp their feet, hit him and try to evade him la. So got one point Zheng Hong was like near alex, then i go push him onto alex, haha, then he kena caught la =P I'm so evil. Heh. Ya, so soon it was 5 pm liao, called my dad, who was at the dentist coz my mum had some tooth problem. Ya, so waited like 15 minutes before they came lor. Sat there and listened to ipod =p Haha.
Yuppx, so that was my first mentoring session. Next friday don't have coz they all and we all sports day mah. Oh SHIT! It's the finals. Damn! Can't go out =( Siiiigh.. I thought that I could go home early or go out with friends. Damn damn damn. Oh to hell with it. Bleaugh.. Ok anyway, so it's friday today, nothing to do until monday. I'm a bad boy and didn't do my ying yong wen due today, hehe. I shall have to do it this weekend la, then monday hand in to mdm ong. Oh yeah, then today during recess and lunch had to mend the booth for the learning journey day la. During recess got tons of people came lor, all the brochures and consent forms/itenary were taken up, then i think almost all the sweets also. Haha. Yaa, so like over 70 people wrote their names on the paper like indicating they were "interested" la. So dunno why also must write names lor, surely 90% of the people don't go one, though I may be wrong. Haha. But there's only 10-15 slots left, not the initial 4 which i thought =P So people like jevon better hurry up and hand up the form!!!! Oi, you better go ah. Hmph. And yh!!!!! Go also la... =) Must promote for Hurricane Fiona, our 3F's new name for her. I actually went up to her and said "Mrs Chong, we have a new name for you. Hurricane Fiona". Hahhaa, she laughed. Then after that I called her that she replied lor =P Tze Wei's soooo gonna get jealous *winks*. This is fun. Ya, so school today nothing much la, too lazy to type about it anyway. Hahaha. Anywayz, quite a bit of hw, ying yong wen, assignment 3, then better hurry do performance task though due after i-learning, coz i whole hols not in singapore. Yaa, so tests remaining are physics, ss and maths, then 3rd lang also lor. Sigh, lucky no test on monday. Xian la, ss on friday, last day of term =( Nevermind, better than staying back on monday hor.. Hmm, i suddenly feel like watching taxi again. Bleaugh, maybe I should pop by tze wei's house and visit twisties and get the dvd from him? Maybe make him come here, use the "let him visit his mum/dad/sister" excuse to make him come =P I'm sure he'll do anything for twisties. Hehehe. Ok, dad just paged for us to go down for dinner liao. See ya all soon then!! =)

But there's only 10-15 slots left, not the initial 4 which i thought =P So people like jevon better hurry up and hand up the form!!!! Oi, you better go ah. Hmph. And yh!!!!! Go also la... =) Must promote for Hurricane Fiona, our 3F's new name for her. I actually went up to her and said "Mrs Chong, we have a new name for you. Hurricane Fiona". Hahhaa, she laughed. Then after that I called her that she replied lor =P Tze Wei's soooo gonna get jealous *winks*. This is fun. Ya, so school today nothing much la, too lazy to type about it anyway. Hahaha. Anywayz, quite a bit of hw, ying yong wen, assignment 3, then better hurry do performance task though due after i-learning, coz i whole hols not in singapore. Yaa, so tests remaining are physics, ss and maths, then 3rd lang also lor. Sigh, lucky no test on monday. Xian la, ss on friday, last day of term =( Nevermind, better than staying back on monday hor.. Hmm, i suddenly feel like watching taxi again. Bleaugh, maybe I should pop by tze wei's house and visit twisties and get the dvd from him?

Thursday
Whee! I'm so happy today!! =) Coz 1. Parents are coming home from Jakarta!! =). 2nd, I got 28/30 for malay test (she marked it on the spot). 3rd. Reason that cannot be disclosed. So anyway, a certain individual got full marks for 3rd lang test, a few individuals in fact. Congrats to some, and *hmph* to that certain individual. HMPH! Ok nevermind =P Sooo!!! Day started with the half day announcement. Not very fascinating, as I was expecting some weirdo teacher to make us stay back, and guess what, I'm right. Jacq Sim kindly barged into our maths lesson and called her favourtie SS rep bennett out and gently informed him that we had to stay back for one hour on monday. That means till like 11am?!!??! Stupid piece of ****. Yup, I'm so gonna kill theresa lai if she makes us stay back after SS. I'm definitely gonna complain to somebody lor. Scream at that person more like. I dunno who. Hmph. Grrrr... Stupid jacq sim. Ok, calm down.... Moving on, day started with maths!! Got 94% for assignment. So dumb, lizheng got 100, yh 98, jev 96, and me 94. -.- Hahaha, so happy with results =D Yea, then after that was chinese, she basically went through the poems, and I totally wasn't listening la! I also dunno what I was doing, I think busy bugging yong jing, and i found out he's ticklish on his back! And tze wei's ticklish on his neck, and really violent reactions too as well. Shan't tell ya where I'm ticklish =P But not the neck nor the back. Teeheehee. Ya, so then PE, which was volleyball. Hahaha! Today even more fun, our team against the other team played like 3 games. Then originally the other team won like 21-15, then we won 21-14, then 11-9 I think. Coz last game no time. Ya, so got one part damn funny la. Philbert was attempting to serve, then underhand right? Then he dunno how come let go ball too early or what la, then the ball like bowling ball liddat, roll all the way under the net till the other side. Wah, damn funny la, both teams laugh until dunno what lor, then that sylvester was like whole face red. I think mine also la, we both like really really doubled up and were on the verge of collapsing on the floor, oh my god.. I'm laughing as i type this. Hahahahahah. Ok, so recess, forgot to meet Mrs Chong regarding the what-its day. Oh yea, learning journey day. Then got jev to buy drumstick for me, then ate, went to change and then chem test. First was formulae test la, quite hard and confusing, i totally didn't memorize anything la, then anyhow tikam tikam do. Then after that she say pre-test. Wah, whole class panick la, coz we forgot whatever atomic structure we studied before lor. Haha, so minus like 1 mark coz i forgot what isotopes were, then er, behind got like mass of each particle. Like how the hell are we supposed to know the mass of an electron?!?! Or a proton or a neutron?! *rolls eyes* So after that right, she immediately like taught us on atomic structure. *lame* Might as well taught us first, then do the freaking test right. Hmph, i surely get full marks one lor. Nevermind la, can get quite good, hopefully. Yea, so then was CLE. Bumped into Mrs Chong half-way, then apologized and she said nevermind, that the powerpoint, banner and errr, quiz qns were ok, then say tomorrow morning 7am go meet her. Haha, then that Tze Wei so extra, go say hello then she ignore him. I don't see why Tze Wei is so obsessed about Fiona Chong la, he's xiao lor. He said some er, disgusting stuff which I shan't disclose. *cough* Yea, then damn funny la, he jealous that she talk to me and stuff. Hahahaha, I very good at kachiaoing teachers one. =P Yea, so CLE. Watching short movies, first one was lame, 2nd one was goood, haha, very funny, about the 2 girls playing piano one. Then 3rd was like the fantasy one, was ok la, not say that good, last one was like those type that make u think a lot lor. Yea, very sad la. Yup, so school ended, went to J8, DEN HORR, while walking getting out of the car, saw a friend *cough*, was in shock and gave back the retarded smile. Bleeeaugh, probably had a smile of a psycho plastered on my face all along to the food court. *cough again* Ok, so 3rd lang, was not late. Went in, then like soon after, test started la. Ya, so like first page, i did like 3/5 qns, then teacher came, look at me then nodded head la. Then like 5 minutes later, i did the other 2, then she came, then i look at her, then she go cross her arms like angry liddat. Soo, obviously something wrong right? hahahahahaha. Yea, so in the end, something was wrong, 2 things, in fact. Managed to change one of them, then other one was still wrong la. Nevermind la, 28 is still good =) Hehehe. So apparantly I was told by a certain individual that I yawn like a lot during malay class. Hehehe, but it's soooo hot inside and sooo boring, ok la, not that boring, but still, it's the end of the day and it's like *i wanna sleeeep*. And sleep I did when I returned home, haha, but not much la, yea. So today's a happy day, whee!! Yupp, so ate dinner, then am bloooogging now. Though I should start my ying yong wen, then ya, tonight don't sleep so late. I'm almost on the verge of handing up on monday =P I'm so bad, bleaugh. I don't feel like sleeping late tonight =( Aiya, so better start doing now right? Right... *yawnz* Ciao people!!

Tuesday
Yo yo people! My aunty's car has arrived!!! Hahaha, really cool, mitsubishi lancer. =) She hasn't driven in over a month, coz she didn't have a car, haha, yea, so tomorrow she can fetch us to school! Parents went overseas yesterday, so if she didn't have her car, we would have to engage the services of our driver, but since she does have one, we can sit it to school! And we can find out if her car is physically capable of doing the ultra hard u-turn at like the junction. Dunno what it's called la, but basically the junction that has like tons of students waiting at the traffic light every morning. Yep, so rather exciting! =)
So, first i'd like to congratulate my sister, on getting 6 points for o levels!!! So smart right? =D So proud of her. Haha. She got 6A1s, and exactly all 6 fit into the L1R5 category. So pro right, not more, not less =) Ok, moving on. Anyway, I'm really tired now, coz past 2 nights i have been sleeping at like 12am. Sunday night was studying chemistry, monday was was studying for biology today. *yawnz* Well, both tests are fine, i hope. Dunno la, that time i thought my geog test was ok, then turns out that i have like 7.5/15. I think so la, if lixing didn't see wrongly, coz it wasn't official. When Mrs Chong's back was turned, then like they all go and peek at her score sheet, yea. So, rather upset now =( Ah well, when i receive the paper, then i go analyse why i did so badly. Yep, so next test is like 3rd lang CA1 on thursday, so tonight can sleep early!! =) Just that i have maths homework, and RE to research on =( So xian la, stupid topic, should never ever have agreed to doing it. Sigh.. Ok but what's done's done, so heck la, just pass RE this year can liao. Ok, so the day started with bio teeest!! Horrible. Ok la, not really, just damn lame la. They spent like 7/10 mcq questions testing on enzymes? So lame, then i studied emzymes in like half hour while the rest study so much. Then she go say last time don't need to study the taxonomy thingie, then they come out 7 blooody marks la, bloody hell. Hmph, minus 4 marks liao lor, coz i dunno how to explain. Xian la. Ok, so next was geog, where I can't really remember what we did, but she did some stuff about cyclones, then asked us to read this article and make time-lines. Yep, so while she was going around to like help people, then that li xing go tell us our scores. Bleaugh. =( Ok then was PE, which we had our first lesson of volleyball. Bleaugh, i'm horrid at it, just my serving is gooood. Hahaha, or rather, just like tossing and curling the ball a bit la, then the opponent have trouble like returning, then win lor! =) Hahaz. But volleyball makes your forearm damn pain la, then that yong jing last time volleyball player, go hao lian. Hmph, then now he bballer, later basketball that time then surely hao lian like xiao one la. So it was recess, ate like.. Oh yea, toast, then hurried up to change and go for maths. Maths was usual, learnt some new stuff, attempted to remember some old stuff, got homework, which i have to do after blogging =( Haha, yea, then was english lor. Wasn't very clear what happened, just that at the end we had to write a paragraph on our childhood la, then i go mention that our field was renovated into a swimming pool, then ms quah go make me read out, then the whole class as usal la, go make noise. What "wah lau! so rich" blah di blah. Hahaha, caught me by surprise coz like i wrote it as just a passing comment, then like have such violent reactions. Sigh. Yea, so 3rd lang, went S11 to eat, ate like duck noodles for the first time! They're actually quite nice la, but the duck seemed rather stuff, but the noodles were nice. Yea, shall eat it more often next time =) (u should notice my mood swings..) 3rd lang!!!! =D Teeheehee. Something great and happy happened during that time, shan't disclose =P Yea, but other than that, lesson was boring, just like went through comprehension, every individual find out meaning of one sentence, then say to whole class, then write down meaning, answer the qns, then hand up lor, lesson over. -.- Yea, but CA1 is on thursday, and there's CA2 next thursday. Too lazy to type out the differences between the 2 la, basically one's like mcq, while the other is open-ended. Yea, so now have to do maths homework. Must sleep early tonight!! =D
