Week 5

Hmmm, realized that I haven't updated in a while.

Hey, Ac was in the papers for the mix-up incident at the Cross-Country A div. Didn't know Leon was the captain again. Wow! Wonder what happened when they announced Ac as champions. Hmmm, but Leon already figured out we got second and it was true. Some Rj runner should have gotten third instead of him. Glitch in the computer systems are funny at times. It puts you in a funny situation.

Rugby B div got postponed from Wednesday to Thursday. I was hoping very hard that Acs(I) would win but in the end they didn't. They lost out in penalty kicks as there wasn't a single touchdown in the match. Ouch, wonder what happened to the rugby teams these days. Remember that during my days, the rugby team never loses.

Friday was Syf dance and Water-Polo A. Had been helping the dance most of this week and they were clearly improving. I believe the dance wasn't that bad but the final results was that they got bronze. I wonder what happened during the judging but I think they did not do that badly until they get a bronze. I could see angry faces and some even were crying when they returned from the place. Hey, I am sure their dance do not deserve such a poor score.

Later in the day, the waterboys went down to the pool to fight Hc. Hey, it is not easy to come back from a 9-2 defeat but they did it anyway, leading most of the way. Imagine the joy when they were announced the A Div Champions, completing a grand-slam for the Ac schools. I know Val, Terry and the rest can play very well. I believe in them as I have seen them play. I wonder why they lost to Hc in the prelims.

Ouch, due to some unfortunate turn of events, I ended up with no food for the weekend. I managed to survive the weekend skipping lunch and 2 dinners. I was feeling hungry most of the time but whenever I felt so, I went for a cup of Ribena. I am so proud of myself that I only spent $4 in food for the weekend. At the end of the weekend, I could feel that I was much lighter. My legs and hands are shaking for some unknown reason and somehow, I just could not accelerate during my run. I was also suddenly very flexible at the end of the weekend. I finally could stretch my hands forward and away from my feet for the sit and reach. Usually I cannot even touch my toes. But at the gym is where I felt the pinch the most. I could not do my normal weights. Somehow, I just could not muster enough energy for anything. Think fasting has got its pros and cons after all.

On Monday in the morning, I suddenly got reminded that we are going to receive our project work results. Instead of feeling nervous, I felt a lot of joy all of a sudden that I even have to suppress my laughter. I was laughing non-stop when I was exiting the Lt1 after chapel. When the names were called out, I was sooo overjoyed to hear that we are the Band 1 group and I got Band 1! Sooo happy. I thought my voice was monotonous, sleepy and boring, but the feedback that came back was I have a strong, clear voice. My roommate was saying that I had all the powerhouses in my group so naturally we should have got the grade. I wanna thank all my Project Work group members because it was, essentially, a group effort.

Ac played Hc for basketball on Monday too. We need not guess the results as it should be very clear. Anyway, the score was 58-29. We were too, unlucky because we were placed with Mi and Jj. I do not know anything about Ij but I sense tough competition between the 3. It would be funny to see Hc getting kicked out of the prelims. At the rate we are going, I think only Hc and Mi would pass through the prelims from our group. I know Jj would fight hard, and that makes this group interesting because they all have good team.

On Monday was my first lesson for GEL. I do not like the idea because Monday is my super long and no free period and double Gp and Chem prac day and so it is super super tiring. And now, they add some more. We had an interesting Gp teacher. She should be currently from 3SC3 and Pek Hong's classmate last year. My group is small with a few Indon girls, Suhandy and Ky Meng. Her lesson was boring probably because I was already tired but noneoftheless useful. She somehow set my mind in the direction of Gp and writing the essay, "Gp is useless. Discuss." only makes me realize that there is lots of benefits from Gp.

Yesterday was Gp common exam. I did not know what is wrong with me but I cannot seem to start on my essay. I spent half an hour wondering what to write while everyone around me started writing the moment the paper started. My essay ended up very skimpy with only slightly more than 2 faces of content. I looked around me and saw that most people actually used all 4 pieces of paper that was given to them. Comprehension was worse. It was a topic that was never discussed in the classroom, nor in the Gp packages that they provided us with. How am I supposed to know anything about gay marriage when everyday, you do not even hear people talking about it? Ouch, but luckily I was in writing mood so I wrote a lot of nonsense on the paper. Hopefully my nonsense makes sense and I would ace my Gp.

Realized that I spent one whole period typing and I am now very tired. Dope the rest of the week would be better. Had been very tired for no reason lately. Been waking up extraordinarily early as well. See you, folks! =)

Haha I forgot what I wanted to type again

Hmmmm, today the com lab quite noisy, with people watching dunno what anime. I quickly lose track of what I had in mind to blog. Am now quite stressed thinking what I wanna type but hope that it comes back as I type along.

Whole day today had been a stressful day. Haven't been seriously thinking about Physics for a while. Was shocked when I found out that I got most of my questions wrong. What happened to me? I cannot even answer simple questions correctly. Was a bit nervous during the Physics paper but luckily the paper turned out to be an easy one. Though I was not very sure of my answer, I was sure that it would at least pass.

Yay! Yesterday was Syf and Acs(I) got their gold with honours as expected. St. Marg's got gold too. Hopefully dance would get a gold this Friday. I wanna go and watch their performance. AFter all, they really trained very hard and I can see them improving!

Saw the AC website just now and was a bit moved. I am all out of money so I could not possibly have donated. Sometimes, I feel that I need the money more than he do. I was wondering what would happen if I was the one who get brain damaged. Doing too much research on euthanasia lately and Terri Schiavo's case did not help much. What would happen if I suddenly lose all my knowledge and intelligence, starting from square one?

5 minute bell rang. Have to be back to Bio prac and then later have to be at Chem S. Think the com lab is increasingly not the place to be. It had lost all its quietness and peacefulness. They really should not allow speakers here. I am going mad soon, typing in this noisiness. Hopefully there's no Koinonia tonight due to the Rugby finals that had been postponed till today. Acs (I) will win! I know. By the way, AC tennis won yesterday!

Politics Part 3

Who wants to be ordinary?
In this crazy mixed-up world.
I don't care what they are saying,
As long as I'm your girl.
Wai loved you at 4:58 PM


Men are complex too! =p

If you kiss him, you are easy
If you don't, you are frigid

If you praise him, he thinks you are fake
If you don't, he thinks you are ungrateful

If you agree to all his likes, you are submissive
If you don't, you are controling

If you visit him often, he thinks you're desperate
If you don't, he thinks you're not interested

If you are well dressed, he says you are vain
If you don't, you are a dog

If you are jealous, he say's you're possessive
If you're not, then he fools around

If you attempt a romance, he say's you are cheap
If you don't, he thinks you are cold

If you are a minute late, he says you are fussy
If he is late, he says you're impatient

If you visit another man, you are fooling around
If he is visited by another woman, "oh we're just friends"

If you kiss him once in a while, he says you're too shy
If you kiss him often, he says you're too forward

If he fails to help you in crossing the street, he brings up the feminist movement
If he does, he expects to be rewarded

If you stare at another woman, he says you're jealous
If he is stared by other men, boy, you're in big trouble..

If you talk, it's always too much
If you listen, it's never enough

Women complex?

Haha, Mrs Lye showed this in front of the class the other day. Think it is interesting so I should post one here too!

Women are Complex Creatures

If you kiss her, you are not a gentleman.
If you don't, you are not a man.

If you praise her, she thinks you are lying.
If you don't, you are good for nothing.

If you agree to all her likes, you are a wimp.
If you don't, you are not understanding.

If you visit her often, she thinks it is boring.
If you don't, she accuses you of double-crossing.

If you are well dressed, she says you are a playboy.
If you don't, you are a dull boy.

If you are jealous, she says it's bad.
If you don't, she thinks you do not love her.

If you attempt a romance, she says you didn't respect her.
If you don't, she thinks you do not like her.

If you are a minute late, she complains it's hard to wait.
If she is late, she says that's a girl's way.

If you visit another man, you're not putting in "quality time."
If she is visited by another woman, "Oh it's natural, we are girls."

If you kiss her once in a while, she professes you are cold.
If you kiss her often, she yells that you are taking advantage.

If you fail to help her in crossing the street, you lack ethics.
If you do, she thinks it's just one of men's tactics for seduction.

If you stare at another woman, she accuses you of flirting.
If she is stared by other men, she says that they are just admiring.

If you talk, she wants you to listen.
If you listen, she wants you to talk.

Movie under the stars again!

See, I almost forgot.

But how can I forget the movie under the stars? This brings back even more memories. Remember last year the eve of Valentine's there were a movie under the stars. Remember first 3 months this year got another movie under the stars. Think the setting is romantic. Spoke to Grace and Regina. Haven't really been talking to them for a long time. Watched the Incredibles this time around. Still find it funny though I am actually laughing at the same jokes. Dvd version have Jack Jack Attack, a special feature now shown in the cinemas. I am glad I came down to do duty this time around.

Valerie left back to Uk already. Haha, going to miss her again but it seems to me that she is enjoying herself very much so it's ok.

Hope I forget nothing this time! =)

Update

Hi!

Last Wednesday for Ne period which we commemorated International Friendship day! Some of the scholars put up shows and I really enjoyed myself watching them. Haven't had some good laugh in a while. Think 'Kopi Susu' the acapella group was awesome and they sang very well. Everyone thinks that their presentation should have be the last instead of the first. After all, some presentations were boring and they were put in the end. Brings back old memories too as they were singing Burung Kakak Tua.

Burung Kakak Tua,
Mencuk di jendela,
Nenek sudah tua,
Giginya tinggal dua.

Le dum, Le dum, Le dum U La La,
Le dum, Ledum, Le dum U La La,
Le dum, Le dum, Le dum U La La,
Burung Kakak Tua.

So far the last week there was nothing special. Suddenly I am kind of very free after not needing to go for training anymore. I voluntered to help dance again and again. Hmmm. Luckily today would be the last time I am going to help them. Hope they win their SYF! Think they had been training a bit too hard but hard is good. No pain no gain.

Hey, I flunked my Maths again! Unlucky that this time I didn't break my own record. The lowest I ever got was 3/30 last year for Maths but everything after I got A. Think this year really too slack. I said that I want to do my Maths tutorials but I haven't been doing a single Maths tutorial this year. No wonder I do not know how to integrate. Hey, though this time it was not so bad, I managed to get the lowest in class for Maths for this timed assignment. My score was 2/15.

Yesterday was one of the days of the swimming meet. Remember how last year I was timekeeper because I failed Physics. Haha, brings back more memories. Hey, Pamela, Donna and most of the J1 Malaysians are doing it this year. Fortunately, they were there not for the same reason as me. Hey, they still have yet to give me my CIP hours. Seraphina really swim backstroke like a fish. Fast and smooth. Unfortunately though, she did not emerge first. Regina swam too! She dived into the water and was first. It looked like she was going to win but in the end she ended up third. Nevertheless, it was a good swim.

Wish I could swim. Maybe I used to be able to but when I am really in water, I forget how to... Hey, Si En just asked me how can I forget how to play the clarinet? But surprisingly, I really forgot. I do not know anymore.

Now Ac playing tennis against Sa. Wanted to support them but now I am in the Mr room. Haha, hope they win. I know they will win. Later have to go help dance again. Hope I am able to study for the Physics test tomorrow.

Think I have writer's brain. I actually came with a lot to blog about but I quickly forget what I wanted to write. When I have the idea, I must pen it down or have a laptop with me, or else soon it will disappear.

Bye Bye! =)

Lately...

Hello,

Got a free period so i am going to update.

Recently got eliminated from the team. Also a good thing after all since I am not doing very well. I will have more energy to concentrate on my studies instead. Feels a bit weird not with less exercise. Means I have to get my own means of exercising. Have to go for night runs again.

Nothing interesting this week. Today after school basketball team have a friendly against some Jc near Pasir Ris. Don't really know who they are playing against. Want to go and support them but I have Chem S lessons after school and after that I still have Mr duty.

Ac won Rj at water polo 2 days ago. Hey, Rj had a lot of chances and for a moment I thought they were going to win but unfortunately they wasted their chances because their shooting were off. Little of their shots end behind the net. Think Ac polo team also played badly with a few mispasses but fortunately for us, our shooting seems to be most of the time on target. It is dangerous to leave our players near the net.

Marvel at their stamina. Swimming is very tiring but them seem to be moving in water like the way they move on land. So sad, I do not even know how to swim. Think I have to do my Pe tests soon. Sometimes I get a bit scared. Wonder if I could still pull myself up 3 times at least and it would be a miracle if I pulled 6. Standing broad too, is a problem... With an aching back, I could not possibly pass.

Today is another long day again. Have to do music for our dance society. Luckily their dance is not bad. I would say that it is of gold standard. Actually I don't mind because I tend to be able to do my homework in the confinement of the small room. Think I am more a lone worker. Sometimes I think studying in a group is difficult and it does not always speed up studying.

Think that's all for today! See everyone soon!
