Friday
So anyway. This morning was hilarious. Coz we had international friendship week right, then today was the international dunno-what quiz la. Then like we sitting in the hall chatting, then suddenly that all-so-familar voice went "Goooooood MORNING boys! blah blah blah" Hahaha, the good morning just sent chills down my bones la. Haha, it was jacqueline sim. =) She was seriously hilarious, and that benedict yeo from 3G (who thinks I'M philbert, shouldn't he know philbert? they're swimmers..) was kinda jealous coz he wanted jac sim as the teacher. Yaa, so the quiz was quite funny la. I'm too tired now to go into details. Haha. Yaa, rest of the day was not very interesting la. Oh yeah, we managed to skip first period, which was like english la, so wasted. Haha, but good also la, if we missed like HCL, then we would have to stay back to do the zuo wen ce yan, like 3G had to. Yuppx. Soo last period was Jac Sim for us, haha, but then she dunno why want to play game la, like taboo like that. She divide us into 4 groups. Then one person will go up, then she give them this slip of paper, and they're supposed to get their group to say out the word or phrase on the paper la, without actually saying what's on the paper. Eg. transparency. Then philbert said "the opposite of opaque". Yaa. Then like "principles" you can say like "the head of the school" although it refers to different principles la, but then.. Yaa, so quite fun la. Although like at the start, after like 2 rounds had to go dentist. Yaa, then like waste a lot of time, then go back had 15 mins left. Then was sent to go up and do la. Then so wasted, first one was human rights. Then I was like "we're what?" Then they reply "citizens. -.-" Then i was like "no, in scientific terms". Hahaha, then they managed to guess la. Then get 5 points coz like tie breaker kind. Then 2nd qn was damn stupid la, i got "monarchy." Then i dunno how to explain lor, then burst. Haiz. So we got 17 points. (although i wasn't from that group originally). Then like philbert got that chicken feet transparency, then the rest also very easy la, stupid monarchy.. Hmph. Yaa, then so stupid la, got 2 groups left right? Then it's purely based on luck la. Like at first she wanted to say like she put this thing behind her back, then 1 person from each group guess which hand the thing is in. Then that group wins la. Hahaha. Then in the end didn't want, then she change to that the lipbalm she had said "SPF" Then she said it stood for "sun protection something" Then she said it's like either 5, 15, 20,25 or 30. Then so obvious it's either 5 or 15 what, coz start witih f right? Yaa, then dunno what happen la, then in the end she ask the month she was born in. Then kelvin go guess march, and the other guy guessed april. Then the guy who guessed april won, coz it was closer to her birthmonth, which was august. Hahahaha. Damn lame way to win la. Ya, so they got food. Aiya nvm la, though i feel guilty for not knowing monarchy, coz then we would have had 22 points, same as those other 2 groups. Haiz, nvm la.
Then after that arranged the tables at the side, then went with kb to bras basah to collect my new racket. =D=D Bought shuttles too, ate macs, then went to pick dad up at millenia walk i think. Then went home, played a bit of pool, and rushed to mentoring, and got there just in time. Haha, saw the others walking into the school as i stopped at the traffic light. Ya, then went in, mentor them lor. One of my assigned mentees was absent la. Then the other one was there. Then also got another guy who's mentor didn't come i think came with me. But the whole thing is screwed up one la, they just anyhow mentor whoever. Hahaha. Yaa, then went for training. Today was damn tiring la. Played like singles, the game last for half hour plus. Coz we play 2 sets, then like got stuck at 8-11 that the umpire (another friend) got damn bored. Haha, finally won first set, but lost 2nd set like 14-17 la. Coz duce mah. So wasted. Haiz.. Nevermind la. Oh yeah, and my racket's very nice =D Though the tension seems a bit weird. Requires more strength to play, but good also la, then can become stronger. Now i very lan leh, hit so softly. Then coach want me to do all those physical exercise, coz like my running and strokes are ok liao, just that like need to have stamina. And then ya la, just more fit lorr. More powerful shots all those. Mmhmm. Yaa, then also had a bit of training la. He xiao lor, go and give me shuttles like one after another sooo fast lor, then become i keep hitting then my grip become so hot coz like have to keep changing grip all those. The drill i like most is the one where i smash behind, then run forward and tap. Damn zai =D Hahaha. Thenn, ya, that's about it lor. Came home, ate dinner, then now blogging!! Oh yeah, and bathed after dinner la. Yaa, so nothing much to do now. Not really in the mood anyway, tomorrow morning 7.30 need to be in school liao. Sigh. Past 3 saturdays keep having something on. 2 weeks ago was like.. what ah? I know last week was minds carnival. Then 2 weeks ago was.. Was what?! Oh yes!! The swimming carnival for the disabled. Yaa, so hopefully next saturday can finally have another sleep in day. This weekend only saturday night. Yaa. Then i think tomorrow after PTM got people coming my house to start our little geog project. Haiz. Yong Jing, bennett maybe after his choir, tze wei can, and wai sum can. *gasps!* Everyone can make it! Hahaha. Yaa, so that's about it la. I'm getting very tired now. =( Saturday now has become such a hectic day for me man. Haiz, don't have a single day when i'm free. Last time friday free, but sat morning have to wake up early coz of sphere. Haha, but then mentoring is fun la, so i don't really mind. Just that no time to go watch movies or whatever la, then most people are free for projects on friday, then i not free. Haiz. Nevermind la. Ah wellz, cya people soon then. Remember to taggie ah!! =D

Sad day
Today's been an ok day, ran 2.4 this morning. Got a B, 11 mins and 16s. Improve 31 seconds. I have to improve more to mantain a B every year, since each grade increases like a lot. I think like the A grade is 50s every year or something.. Though the pass grade is 20s only. I should be happy getting 28 points at napfa. But then, i'm not really. It's not napfa that's making me troubled i guess. Since like pri school, there's just been this particular trouble i'm trying to run away from. Making changes to myself, hoping it'll go away... I guess it hasn't gone. I never knew it existed until one day in pri 5. And ever since, it hasn't really gone away until this year. It still existed last year, though some people managed to accept it. Some people had that in them too, and so we were able to get along. Those who didn't know me so well, or just didn't like it kept it that way. I don't know really. Probably since i am born into wealthy family, maybe that's why? It just hit me today i guess. Not really hit, I just got wind of it again today. But what do i do? Once again i'm not sure. Maybe i'm just being stupid. Dunno. How ironic, it's international friendship week. Yay. Sad. Maybe i should just stop here.

Saturday
Today's saturday! Ok laa, nothing much interesting about it. This morning woke up at 6.45, went to Jurong Garden's MINDS school there. Then like bum around till 8 plus, then help the minds people board the bus, then drive to RI, then unload, bring them to the classroom, then the sec 4s there took over. A bit bo liao la, but.. Yeah, so then after that yh and I were just walking around, then we saw joy lim! =D Then very funny la she, everything also lalala one, so yaa, throughout the whole time that yh keep poking me laa, want me to go and ask her somthing personal *roll eyes*. But aiyoi, this kind of stuff right, must ask at the correct time right? How can just suddenly ask how old she is, so out of place. So in the end went off, then kena called to carry benches to the hall -.- Wah, the bench so heavy lor, then keep banging agasint my hip there, so pain. Luckily i got belt, then shifted the bench to rest against my belt, then not so pain. Hmph. Yaa, then after that we fake fake say go back to Staff room there to take our bags, then in the end sat down there and listened to ipod and read book. Haha, until like 12, then we returned back to the hall. Then very funny lor, alex was giving his "speech" then the daniel i think, was briefing us. Then next thing we knew, we were supposed to go and throw the balloon down. Then like Huh?! what's happening kind of thing. So yaa, didn't manage to throw any down, haha, but nvm la. So then ya lor, usher them back onto the bus then that's it! Haha, so yeah, went back home, ate lunch, rushed to bathe and change, then went to fatcat's house!! Haha. Yaa, it was fun, spent the afternoon there, with another of my friend. *winks* =D We basically just bummed around, chit-chatted, sang songs, err, and last part watched a bit of mean girls. I got bored halfway then went to lie on the bed, and fell asleep. Hahahaaha, yaaa, then suddenly my phone rang, so scary. Well, it's scary la, coz like you sleeping then suddenly the phone rang to the tune of "do something!" Yaaa, then also my friend was going home too =( Ah wellz, yaa, so no point staying there, then called my dad to come and get me lor. Haiz, then in the car got a little pissed with my mum lor. Ok, there were 2 parts to it la, 1st part a bit the personal, so we'll skip. So 2nd part was a bit stupid la, but anyway. So my mum was saying that tmr we're going to the temple coz it's ching ming(is that right?) then pay respects to my grandma. Then she was like "chris so good, volunteer to go." Then i was like "?! I didn't!! You made me go, i actually wanted to go shopping with ee one." Ya, coz initially it was supposed to be this morn, but then got the minds thing, so they change to tmr. Then she was like "go tomorrow after training la" then i was like "no time la, have to do homework" then she said like "do tonight la" then dunno what happen la, basically last part she was like "ok la, tmr morning you don't go lor." then I'm like "huh?! If i don't go then do what? EE is already going what, i can't go shopping anymore." Yaa, so, quite lame right, but coz of the 1st part so like sparked off this lor. Haiz. Nevermind la, forgetting about it. Heck la, maybe tonight really just have to choing my work lor. Haha, i don't think i can finish all my chinese homework =( I seriously need help. *coughcough* Haiz, ok la, i better go and bathe now, daddy earlier bought home dinner from newton hawker centre. Hahaha, so full now!! =D

Friday
Haha, this is hilarious. I'm currently at my eating table typing this. Yuppx, I decided to bring my laptop down to the dining area to see if my wireless could reach, and it could! Although it says "good" instead of like "very good" or "excellent", and is only connected at 11mbps, instead of the usual 54, it's still good enough to surf the internet. =D How cool right? Haha, so was reading like yh's blog while eating my lunch. Hope he did ok for his Napfa today, anyway, if you didn't, train up! And i'm very sure you can make it in August ya? =) Cheer up and don't be so upset, though I think that today he'll have another reason to be very upset. Anyway moving on, so it's like 1.44pm now, after school found sister was in the car to pick me up, coz she just came from her bf's house *sigh*, then went to Adam road hawker centre to buy lunch, came home and ate. Yeah, and now just finished lor. Hmm, hope my battery lasts this blog, coz i'm also listening to music. Hahaha! Oh, it says like 2 hours left. =D So anway, today's friday, and later I have mentoring. Decided that I had nothing to do in school, so came home lor. Initially intended to like swim or something, hehe, to like get a tan or something, but it's raining =( Aiya nevermind la, I still look good. HAHAH. Ok nevermind. Hmm, my laptop's keyboard reacts slower on battery. Err ya, so have like 1 plus hour more to go before leaving my house. Maybe I'll go and shower? Nah, maybe not, I'm not dirty today, didn't have PE or anything la. Yuppx, so tmr morning have to reach like Jurong Town school at like 7.45am?! Then have to usher the students onto the bus, blah di blah, come to RI and bum around till like 12.15, then usher them back onto the bus. Yeah, so tonight have to persuade my dad to fetch me. I think he will la, apparantly the other guy living at Bukit Timah here says it's very near. Not sure la, could be the Upper Bukit Timah side, which is very long road. Hahaha, heck la. I'm feeling happy about it actually, and I'm kinda looking forward to later, though a little apprehensive coz my first time mentoring, and then yh isn't there till later only. Ah wellz, maybe I should inform JP that i'm going there myself. Lalala. So much time left, one hour.. -.- Haiz, next wed got geog quiz again, have to draw diagrams. Have to memorize and label them =( Geog seems to be getting more and more demanding, at least I like it la, so can absorb information easier, but still.. Hmm, it's actually quite fun to use my laptop here =) Haha, the sound of the waterfall (swimming pool), and the fan.. My dog sleeping on my lap, just the environment la. Sometimes have to get out of my room, and admire the scenery outside (i can see outside from here). Doo, haha, last night finally managed to get a good sleep. Slept at 11pm, though this morning didn't really feel much better, but I'm not tired now, which means that I can last longer. i.e i feel as awake as i do when i sleep at 12 plus, but I can feel this awake for a longer period of time. =) Which is good. Lalala, tonight have training, hope people turn up, or not will be soo boring. Aiya heck la, at most make my coach train me, then can get better. I'm not improving lor, haiz.. Must get stronger, make my smashes sharper, and harder, i.e more deadly. =) Oh yeah, and must be more precise. Hahahaha.. Hmm, I just realized that I don't exactly like my racket lehh.. Feels very weird, like can't really play properly. =( But i bet my dad won't let me buy a new one. Maybe I should save up or get my aunty to buy? Dunno la, oh yeah, this weekend also want to go to like Bras Basah there then buy a bag. Haha, my current one is a bit the small la, need to get one with more compartments, put clothes all those.. Ah wellz, maybe get my aunty to bring me? Prob on sunday, coz tmr not free. Haiz, which reminds me I have to do my bio brochure which is due on Monday. Maybe I'll do it on sun, then tonight must finish all other hw. Not much actually.. Oh yeah, then must finish ALL chinese hw. *i hope*. Lalala, nothing much to do now. Cya all soon! =D

Thursday
Ok moving on from depressing stuff, well, today I had napfa!! How exciting ya?? Haha, i got 24/25 points so far. Whee! Stupid sit and reach lor, *grumbles about my long legs*, i only get 43cm, A is 47cm. =( Nevermind la, 2.4 surely won't A anyway, so i guess 28 points (if i get B) is nicer than 29 points. Or not like so yuan wang, miss 30 by just one point. Yeah, so first we did was sit and reach la, so demorolizing right? Haha, then moved to the pull up there. So the people who were 15 had to do first, I think it was like aaron. He did like 10? I think so, then Sylvester, who did like twenty. -.- Xiao, haha. Then was another classmate, then philbert. He did like 10 i think, quite good la. He everything A I think, haha. He could have done more la, but well, 10 is A liao so don't bother wasting strength. Yaa, so I did 35 inclined, haha, last year did 36, but then i guess 35 is a nicer number ya? =) Then moved on to shuttle run. Haha, first try did like 9.9s. I totally shocked myself lor. I mean, I didn't know i was so good? (if you call that good la..) So was very happy. Ran with philbert, who coz disqualified, coz he didn't put the block over the line. So 2nd try, managed to get like 0.1s faster, so 9.8 lor. Haiz, that stoopid Jev go do 9.4s. Hmph. Nevermind la, I happy with 9.8 =D Well, I guess our trainings do help a lot, considering ours require burst of speed. Haha. Like swimmers will definitely be better at stamina stuff, not so good at speed, know what i mean? Yeahh.. So then sit-ups. Managed to get 43 with 10 seconds left, so just extra do until 45, nice number mah.. =P Err, then last was standing broad jump. Jumped like 217 first try, damn bloody crap la. Coz the stupid situp use all my stomach muscles, then cannot jump. So i was ultra worried, then 2nd try streeeeetch, then managed to get 231. =D Let's see, that's... 27cm more than last year! Haha. Should have jumped 230, then nice number.. =P So yeah, that was it lor. Very satisfied with myself =D, though next week is prob 2.4km run liao, nevermind la, pace philbert, then can get A/B, A if i manage to keep up all the way, B if i die like in the 5th round and decide to walk, like last year. Mmhmm, nvm la, get C also can lor, as long as not D. Haha. But I'd rather aim for an A. Lalala, so yeah, recess, then chemistry. Stoopid teacher go say playing board game next monday, haiz, last night stay up so late to do last minute touch up, then in the end go say next monday -.- Then also make me bring all the board and cards and counters blah di blah. Waste time. Then CLE lor, haha, spent most of the time talking to Yin Wei, and that Jeffrey (how to spell his name?) from last year 2G lor, the one quah scolded. Haha, and also yong jing behind me. But then also got listen to the guy talk la, he quite intersting la, haha. At first I thought he kena paralized 2 years ago, then very confused, until realized it was 22 years. Yeahh, so 3rd lang wasn't say very intersting, though ok la, haha, chatted quite a bit with wai sum, yin wei and *cough*chris lim*cough*. Uh huh, ok, i shall be smart and copy and paste this, or not later blogger screw up again, then I'll be damn angry. Haha, lalala, can't wait for tomorrow to be over! Then sat have to go and help out at the minds carnival, and funnily i feel happy to go and help lor, even though have to meet quite early. =D Afternoon i'm busy, then yaaa, that's all folks! See ya again soon. *presses ctrl c now*

Earlier in school had this talk by 2 people la, on waves. Wah i tell u ah, the first guy was sooo bloody boring lor. I fell asleep twice, luckily Andrew Lim, Hurricane Fiona, and Ong Wai Lin were all sitting on the first row. So they never really notice la, unless they keep looking backwards at us or something. Yeah, so I decided after a while, to start practicing writing with my left hand. Hahahaha, yeah, I'm planning to be ambidexterous!!!! Muahahaha. (you guyz are probably thinking i'm mad) Yeah, so then the 2nd speaker went on, he was so much better than the first la. First guy was this old man, 2nd guy was this younger ang moh la, but have to strain a bit coz of his accent, but after a while get used to it. So yeah, the first guy was just like reading off the powerpoint (which wasn't very interesting) but the 2nd guy was much better la, coz he elaborate, then like show videos and quite a bit of pictures. And yes, all this time i was writing a letter with my left hand. Haha, in all wrote like one page of my notebook. =D I must try harder!! Yeah, so alter on there's training. Like 50 more mins? Hope people got go la, or not damn boring. Last sunday the fairfield people didn't go, but hopefully today they go. Mmmhmm..
Ah wellz, there's something funny must tell u. You know that dennis au ah, he very funny la. Wed was our lesson right? Then he go and tell us that our i-learning is due on Friday (today) la. But he say whoever's done, can hand in, then he edit, thurs give back and they can go and redo and then hand in again la. Yeah, so he ask me go and find him yesterday (coz my class no philo rep for some warped reason so he make me *rolls eyes*) then I found him during recess, then he say never mark. So he say today he return, then monday hand in. Then he say tell my class today only la, so that they won't procrastinate. Yeah, so today then told them (had some very violent reactions, eg. "Wah lau! I stay up till like 1 plus to do finish la! F**K dennis au!") Yeah, then i find him during recess, then he go thought I was 3C, then go and mark theirs, never mark 3F. Wanted to bash him up lor. What a twit. *sighs* Yeah, so now it's extended to Tuesday dateline. Haha, my whole class is confused now la. Heck them la, they should have done their i-learning work before anyway. La di dumz.
Oh yesh, did i mention that we rearranged our layout a bit? People who know my house will know that we have 2 coms in our centre room la, my brother's room. Then my mum decided to shift the left one (which is like mine la) to the library, and use it as a common computer, with the new printer connected to it (the 3-in-1 one that we just redeemed) Yeah, so bought a USB wireless thingie, and suprisingly the signal can reach all the way to my bro's room. Haha, so yeah, no wires! Then my sister's computer was shifted to her own room. But then there too ulu la, so we shifted the expander to her room, so now she can reach the signal. Not sure if i mentioned in my previous post la, but expander is like it receives the signal from the original router, then resends it out. You get what i mean. Ya, then my room laptop the wireless is ssoooooo lousy lor. Yeah, so i tried with a PCMCIA wireless card la, and it's like "excelllent" (it was meant for cons laptop) Hmph, my internal one couldn't even find a signal. -.- Yeahh, so instead of buying another expander which is like 125 bucks, we'll just buy a PCMCIA wireless card lor, which is half of that. So yay! =) Everyone's happy. Haha, and now we're 2 extra printers. The com on the left now has the new printer, and my sister has no space in her room for a printer. Yeaa, one of them is actually quite a good printer la, the Canon i255. The other one is much older. Mmhmm, so ah wellz, we'll have to find computers to link the printers to then =P Though i doubt we need so many la, we already have like one extra, this one. Coz i use my laptop, cons uses hers, chars uses hers, so the library one is rather extra. But it's the best com in the house la yeah.. so, using it now though, coz my laptop isn't set up. La la la, Jerome's just asking me how to add a tagboard to his blog. Haha, he just set one up. Dododo, have to go training soon, so maybe have to help him later on or something. Ah wellz, it's my aunty's b'day tomorrow! Happy beearlied birthday ee!! Hahaha, ok la, cyall soon =D
Cheers!

Tuesday
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!!

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
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
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!

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.

Tuesday
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
