b'day

Yesterday was GREAT!
Well, today will be great too! ^^

I have to admit, although when we are like preparing for the birthdays and trying to appear like we forget, we think we seem kinda obvious. But seriously, YOU GUYS WERE LIKE REAL GOOD AT FAKING. Except for the last part maybe, when you all were screaming cake! cake! That kinda gave the game away. xP

Kellyxians bought the cake for me. Well, technically it was Grace. Haha, thanks! :D Bo Ning I think was kinda shocked and did not know how to react to the overwhelming response. >< The cake was seriously very nice! Not too chocolatey! And it was still kinda cold! Haha, Boning was torn between his ramen noodles and cake!!! Thank you for planning this!!!!! You all ROCK! :D (go facebook to see the pic)

Then, cuz we started the cake late, most of us were late. Leelaoshi was erm... angry??? SORRY TO ALL THOSE WHO WERE LATE BECAUSE OF THE CAKE CUTTING!!! Really sorry!!!! >< You all did it cuz of Boning and me but was late and got scolded! Sorry!

After lesson, Zhenyang and Felix gave me 2 voodoo dolls which help me in career/studies and love(???). Haha. Thanks to the both of you! Then Nicole, Grace, Joelle and a few other gals (cant rmb ur names, sry!) gave me a present. All the girls AND ben (extra!!!) also wrote messages for me! (why everyone says that Im slow? haha) Thanks!!!!! I din open the present until I got home :D The present is so COOL. I am gonna put more pics in the flipping thingy. ;) Thanks a bunch!!!!!!!

You all have made this day special for me!!! Once again, thanks a lot!!! :D
Later Im gonna meet up with some kellyxians to watch Iron Man 2!!! woohoo! Then gonna eat dinner with my parents maybe at Swensons. And gonna use the voucher which I got from Mingyu by buying his charity thingy! haha. :D

 
~the 14th bd'day is awesome

sick

Hello people.
Gah. Was sick for around 3 days. Got flu and cough and stuff. Went to see the doctor yesterday. Ate medicine. Am feeling so much better. At least I dont have a blocked nose now ^.^
On friday, I went to see a skin doctor to 'get treatment' for my acne and stuff. Received a few medicine, cream, lotion to put on my face. Takes really long to put all that layers of stuff on me. haha.
Tomorrow have maths common test. boohoo.... So sad. I missed science practical! :( Gwar!
Have to hand up geog on Thursday. Damn chiong.
Watched a few movies that I rented on Saturday and Sunday.

FANTASTIC MR. FOX

Storyline: I am pretty sure that I don't need to explain the storyline. If you do not know what happens, read Roald Dahl's book. XD

Verdict: Was actually pretty boring. The animations are also kinda.... fake? There was a very limited range of music and sounds too. Not exactly funny or nice or anything. Just a pretty good way to pass time if you ask me.

Rating: 2.5/5

NEW MOON

Storyline: Well, Edward leaves Bella due to the fact that Carlisle and the others are getting abit too young for their age. Bella is devastated and believes that Edward left because he does not love her. Bella goes into zombie-depression mode and emo-s for 3-4 months. She gets better when she starts to hang out with Jacob. And surprise! Jacob is a werewolf! Woof woof! Then Alice comes back because she misunderstood Bella's cliff diving plan as suicide. Edward thinks that Bella is dead and want to ask the Volturi to kill him too. Thus begins the journey where Bella races against time to save Edward.

Verdict: Well. it is not exactly a nice movie again. It wasn't any better than the first and they should really just stop shooting the continuation of this silly series which does not turn out good as a movie. At least let me have fond memories of it as a wonderful book. And I really hate the part where the camera just keeps spinning round and round, showing the months go by. Waste of time, seriously. AND. Bella should really just choose Jacob. He looks so much better than Edward with his shirt off.

Rating: 3/5

CHANGELING

Storyline: It was in the 1900s. Christine Collins arrives home from work only to find out that her son, Walter Collins, is missing. She gets help from the corrupted Los Angelos Police Department. 2 weeks later, they claim that they found her son. She cries tears of joy and hurries to pick up her son. However, the boy who claims that he is Walter Collins, is not her son. She finds more and more evidence supporting her stand. The police gets irritated as she is ruining the Police department's reputation. They put Christine in a asylum under code 12, where all the other women who have tried to stand up against the police are kept to be silenced. As she tries to find her son, more startling mysteries are uncovered.

Verdict: Love the movie! Angelina's potrayal as a mother is really convincing. Though her lips are abit.... weird and it does not fit in the image of a frail and desperate mother. They only work when she is acting as a sexy hot lady in an action packed movie I guess. The starting of the movie is a bit draggy as well. The whole movie took about 2h 30 min. If you don't mind sitting through the boring start, then you will be rewarded by the touching and amazing ending.

Rating: 4/5

Gonna go back to school tomorrow. Hopefully there isn't too many stuff to be done. ><

~drowsy due to medicine

science

Had some Cmps stuff yesterday at Pei Hwa Prestabryian (?) Pri Sch yesterday.
We ogranised booths with games and stuff.
The primary school kids were so cute!
One of them actually gt her game stopped halfway but she wanted to continue. She asked me if we were here until friday. But sadly no. D:
We also had NAPFA yesterday. I think that we improved :D

Today's science lesson was SO FUNNY!
Mdm rozana wanted to set some ground rules for the topic that shes gonna teach next: sexual reproduction.
everyone started laughing and stuff.
Mdm roz made many funny comments and that set us off.
Her version of sex education when she was young:
Once upon a time, (mdm) roz, a primary school kid, was feeling bored. She picked up an encyclopedia that belonged to her father. She started flipping and flipping. She fumbled around and played with the pages of the book. Suddenly, she came across something........ a picture of a........... NAKED MAN. She stared agape. There was a (picture of a) man in front of her. Naked. To make things worse, it was not a drawing but a picture. She stared, shocked. (mdm)Roz was bewildered. She could not believe her eyes. Wait. If there is a picture of a naked man....... then there must be a picture of a naked woman! She flipped the pages hurriedly and she found it. OMG! Wait again. If there is a picture of a man and a picture of a woman..... then there must be a picture of a man AND women! She scanned through the pages and voila! She really did find it. And that was how Mdm Roz went through her sex education.
Haha. The actual version is obviously NOT like that. The above is just a funnier one.
The way mdm roz talked about it was hilarious! Her big eyes were like popping out dramatically when she was narrating it too! HAHAHAH. XD

if you wanna say something, say it in front of me and dun talk behind my back.

CLEO by Helen Brown

Storyline: A woman who loses her eldest son is devastated. Her life seems to have no meaning. Just then, a tiny little black cat arrived. She is shocked for the cat was actually for her dead son. He had chosen the cat himself... before he died. Seeing her younger son smile for the first time after his brother's death, the women reluctantly takes in the cat, not knowing that the cat would help in the process of rebuilding her family and life.

Verdict: An okay book which is a good read. It is touching. As the author narrates out signficant incidents and heart-breaking moments, you would definitely be able to connect with her. The cat's death is also heart-rendering and I almost cried. I have a feeling that Yuan Wen will like this cat book!(x

supermakets

hey. erm. i went with my grp to supermarket on sunday. memory kinda weak.
so will briefly say only.
my group consists of jinheok, weirong, gen, zhenyang.
we met at giant first at 10.30am. zhenyang got LOST and ended up 'late'.
copied for around 1hour then went to century square.
went to NTUC finest and copied in 30min. cuz very little stuff. all high-class mahs. XD
quarelled over where to eat. poor zhenyang gt pulled in involuntarily cuz he kinda ate lunch already when he was lost at giants. HAHAH.
finally, went to popeyes. jinheok complained too expensive and went to food junction with zhenyang.
chick burger was VERY BIG. jinheok finished already and came up and steal our french fried.
kinda like we gave it to him willingly. too much cant finish. ._.
took mrt to city hall, raffles city.
played slap game throughout the whole journey.
finished copying in 20min. met yuping.
gave her bad news that they were supposed to copy prices too. haha.
walked LONG LONG LONG LONG way to carrefour.
jinheok was over-reacted and kept reminding us that we were ninjas. -.-
took pics in the end, secretly of course :D
and pretended to sms when we were typing down the brands and prices. wr and gen gt fed up and ended up writing down everything.
finally finished. was damn tired. was around 4pm at that time.
FINISHED IN RECORD TIME. :D
took circle line back home. ate black pepper crayfish for dinner :D

--
Today was okay, very tired. legs aching dunno why. discussing SIP and stuff. our sip damn slow lahs.
and gonna do TKAM lit circle later.
today's assembly talk was boring. though there were some funny parts.
ACC test was fun! our group gt the highest and our prizes were good grades and a packet of green tea leaves. haha. :) will miss tea lessons.
but then i am more eager for next term's stuff: LSP and Art!!!!! woohoo! (:
HCL was scary today. leelaoshi was so mad at us because of our chi spelling. 90% of us failed. terribly.
i guess it was 'cause we did not really know what to study and stuff. she picked up words and phrases from the book. during the test, my mind just went blank sometimes. D:
tomorrow gt chi test D: scared!!!!!! jiayous to everyone!!! :D


~take a deep breath and just do it.

fusion

today was the big day. fusion.
just in case for those who do not know, fusion is something like a competition where you can sing, dance or act.
well, today went kinda well i guess.

chiong-ed maths graph assignment during CME. the teacher was damn funny in her way of speaking about events. luv this CME teacher. :D then, had recess and stuff. maths was boring as usual. I got even less marks than what I did in the previous test. I got 5/12. D: For the other test, I got 15/17 :D heehee. happy~

after that, the fire alarm rang!!!! :D :D :D :D everyone immediately stood up and cheered! haha. the drill has totally failed in its objective: instil a sense of urgency in us when all we care about is missing lessons. BUT. we were missing LA!!!! gah. i would rather miss history than LA. LA rocks more than history. kinda i guess. Anyway, I improved in LA for my compre and summary. very happy~ :)

so, we stood in the hot sun. so unfortunate. we waited and waited. listened to teacher say how long did each level settle down. year 2 got 10mins 40+sec i think. it is actually kinda slow lahs. I mean, in pri sch, we can come down in like 5mins! xD then, made our way back after much delay. after that, I kinda wanted lessons in the so-much-more comfortable classroom rather than climbing 6 storeys down and up and stand in the sun just to miss lessons. :P

fusion was okayyyyyyy.
it was kinda fun actually. nic decided to pon SMO. krys and I then rehearsed. at first we were all kinda shy i guess. no one really dare to sing out loud. by singing around 6 times, we managed to confirm the parts that we were taking and stuff. then for the next 5 repeats, we corrected tunes, pronounciation and stuff. :D i think after that we practised about 5 times. WOW. that's a lot of times. like almost 20 lehs. so pro eh. 8D
but we were there like 1h30min just singing. then, we went and disturb gen's grp. hehe.
i received and missed calls made by the person-in-charge. Went to music prac room 2 and saw ppl inside. So went out then the person call us into music prac room 3 to 'warm-up'.
by then I was like damn nervous sia.
sang for a while. kept jumping whenever we heard the door open. haha. xP
then gen and suting came. we sang to them to 'get the feel of it'. was quite okay i guess. not as scary as i thought :D then practised somemore. now we were more 'open'. :)
then gen's grp members came and practised and more practice.
finally, it was our turn. we went into the room. was damn cold. kinda added on to the nervousness. cracked some jokes to soothe the nerves. haha. then we sang. there were some mistakes along the way but overall, I would think it was okay lahs. :D for a last min rehearsal, it would not score too bad. :D
thanks to nic and krys who joined me on fusion! had a great time! :D

gah. tomorrow got NAPFA, Malay and Chinese test. Haven't learnt chi yet..... sian. recalled last time during pri sch also never learn. always last min chiong one. haha. hope I wont fail sia. downloading the ipod software. so slow~ hmph. just finished FPS. the last prob looks weird. but wadeva. xD


~i have never felt this light-hearted before

CAF

Yo people! sorry for lack of posts. kinda  lazy these days to post regularly.
Firstly, I will talk about my first day of CS CCA.
It was kinda fun yet awkward. I guess it is because I do not know anyone there except Tong Lin. Made a few friends. When we were saying rao kou ling I was so lost.
We then had to group up to perform a short skit. Truthfully speaking, I feel that it was failure and the people that I was grouped up with were kinda not serious. So it turned out kinda.... weird I guess.
After that was CAF. Did maths hmwk while waiting for the guides.
Then Nic, Gen, Grace and Krystal came. Bought some stuff and ate. Accompanied Krystal to wait for her father. Afterwards, we made our way up to Arts Room.
The performance was kinda boring at the starting. It was partially because the mic was spoiled so we can't exactly hear properly. During the interval, we tried to play with Ms Kheng's son but he ignored us and wanted to go back home. haha. Ms Kheng's son is SO CUTE. :D
The second half after the interval was DAMN FUNNY LAHS. BoNing acted in a skit and he had to hit his head several, in fact many times. Haha. Poor thing. Then there was a play. There was this man whose wife and daughter died in a car crash. His friend went to encourage him to move on with life. There was this particular part when the friend handed a mic to the man. He made the action seem so emotional and dramatic that we all thought that the 'thing' was something that was impt and was going to motivate him. Turns out it was a mic! We were all laughing! HAHAH. Then, when the man imagined seeing his wife and daughter, one of the 'wife' 's spaghetti stripe of her dress dropped. We were like all talking about it. Then halfway through the emotional part, the daughter helped the 'mother' put back the stripe! HAHAHAH. EPIC SIA.
During the play, I actually received 4 messages from Ms Kheng. 3 were empty and 1 was attached with a multimedia file. I replied, asking why she was sending me so many msg. She replied, 'Sorry. It must be my son.' HAHAHA. It was so funny and ironic because just a moment ago, her son dao me! haha. XD

Currently have a lot of projects going on. Geog and stuff. GAH. Have to study malay too! and FPS!!!!!!! D:
Feel like just breaking down! ><

[edited]
For electives, I got into Culinary! I was like going in at 6.10pm and there were quite a lot of vacancies. Was torn between culinary and cartoon. Then since a lot of people go culinary, I went too :D
Poor Nicole g. She had no choice but to go Maths elective. haha. Jiayous and try to survive. Dont worry 'cause you got Ying Xuan. ;P

~overload

reptile

OMG. when I was on the 158 bus making my way back home, guess what I saw???
A REPTILE WHICH LOOKS LIKE A TINY CROCODILE SWIMMING IN THE SMELLY CANAL NEAR MACS.
So cool right?!!!!!! I really regret not getting down the bus to take a picture of it. I was so shocked to that THING! I am not sure what it was but I am pretty sure that it was a reptile, something like a lizard, except bigger. Maybe as big as you hand to your elbow. WOW WOW WOW.
I still remember when I came from softball with Jing Wen and Nicole I think. We were passing the bridge when we saw a reptile in the big canal. It was soooooo cool! When we went down to get a closer look, it disappeared. We tried ways to make it appear by throwing rocks, but it didn't.
It is SO COOL. Never knew that Singapore could be full of small surprises like that! :D

Today was fun. We had literary circle and socratic discussion.
Socratic discussion was funny. At the starting, people were shy and did not dare to voice out comments. But afterwards, objections and views started pouring out. I was in the Farquhar team. It was also especially funny when a few people came up at the same time to take a stick. Haha. When we used the example of an infant as Singapore, people said that it was digression. I was like, "It is not digression! It is an example!!!" HAHA.
Literary circle was okay. We first had the expert group. Xuhua and Shinmin were summarizers too. They were obviously talking about something else. It was only at the later part then they contribute. Though quite little. ><
When we were at out individual groups, I said my summary. Jin Heok was complaining, "Eh, you are saying all our points already leh." HAHA. When I FINALLY finished my summary, they clapped. Guess it was because of the detailed summary.
When Jin Heok said his part, Suting kept pretending to be bored. haha.
When it was Alvin's turn, he said a whole bunch of stuff. Very long. When he finally finished one part of his 'talk', we asked where he was at. He had only said TWO PARAGRAPHS. LOL.
It was Suting's turn, she was an illustrator. She drew stickmen as characters. I was asking, why was Boo smiling. haha. Then, she explained about the picture. At the end of it, I said, "Your signature is very nice." HAHA. XP
Then it was Krystal. We kinda flipped to page after page. And we discussed.
Then it was Nicole w. She was the Question Director. She asked a few pretty good questions. :D We answered some and kinda side tracked I guess. :P

Well, today went kinda well. :) Trying to choose which LA artefact im gonna do. And fusion!!!!!! Gah.

 
~life is full of surprises

movies

CLASH OF THE TITANS 3D 

On Good Friday, I went to watch Clash of the Titans with my parents :)

Storyline: Well, kinda like Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, the main motivation that keeps the protagonist going is his rage for revenge. Perseus fights demons and creatures from the netherworld (Medusa). Eventually, he falls in love like any other hero. 

Verdict: Well, nice effects and all but the 3D was not 3D enough. It should be really POPPED OUT. I guess it is cause it was a 2D-convert-3D movie. But still... And the storyline just isn't novel enough. But the fighting moments helped it lift the mark up. The pretty women in it helped too. x) The comedic moments in it livened the movie up. The irony in it too...(scorpian king trying to kill the giant scropian.... take that.)

Rating: 3.5/5 An okay movie which will set your heart pumping.

THE TIME TRAVELLER'S WIFE

Watched it because my father rented the disc. :D

Storyline: Henry met Clare when she was just 6 and when Henry was 40+. Now, Henry, 20+, is meeting Clare, 20+, for the first time. Amzing huh? Well, Henry is a time traveller. He travels involuntarily and whenever he does, he arrives at his destination naked as he does not get to bring his clothed along. (wow.) The time travelling tests the couple's love as Clare risks miscarriage due to the time travelling child. Another horrible truth dawns upon Henry as well....

Verdict: Wonderful movie. Absolutely wonderful. The actor and actress (Henry and Clare) should be given an award for this. They had so much chemistry and the acting was just great! :) Luv them. The touching storyline is sure to break your heart. You will definitely want to read the book after this! (I just reserved it! xD)

Rating: 4/5 A great movie! Must-watch! :)

14 BLADES

My dad rented the disc. :D

Storyline: China in the olden times. There is a plan to throw the country into chaos. Qinglong, a skilled swordsman who uses the legendary 14 blades, is determined to stop the plan.

Verdict: The storyline about China and blah blah is kinda hard to get with so many names like Prince Qing and stuff. The fighting is exciting, as usual. Qiyuwu looks kinda... dumb? The protagonist is too short. >< Overall, the story is okay. I like the ending. Partially because it is real and the protagonist dies~ :D Call me sadist or whatever but then the movie really faces reality. ^^

Rating: 3.5/5 Not a bad watch.

Am now currently waiting to watch Obsessed as well as my the book, The Time Traveller's Wife :D

random stuff :D

Yo people. Sorry I haven been posting for a while. Have been having a lot of projects streaming in endlessly.
--
1 April was April Fool's Day, as well as Kaleidoscope 2010 for Dunman High School. We had lots of fun, except maybe for the starting ceremony when the hot blazing sun was aiming straight at us. Boo D: We had a fan as a souvenir. It really came in handy. Afterwards, we went to attend a 'course' for figurine making.
I made the little chinese/korean doll below wearing a chi costume/kimono. I have no idea because she looks like she belongs to both. Maybe a hybrid...?
I also went to play a game for 50 cents. I got the prize and it was a yoyo balloon. Well, even though it is not really worth it, it is still worth the experience. Though I got it on the first try so it wasn't much of an experience. >< It was still fun to bounce the balloon along as I walk :)

--
When I went to my grandma's house on Saturday, I took some random pictures in the taxi. Seemed quite nice. I guess. :D

--
Yesterday, we celebrated my grandma's birthday. It was really fun! We ate chap chey, curry with chicken, noodles, fishballs, hotdogs with tomatoes, prawns with capsicans and soup. It was all very delicious! We had dessert and finally, the birthday cake! It was half-frozen durian which tasted like ice-cream!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRANDMA! ^^
