failure... maybe

Hiiiieeeeeeee :)

Today was okay. I forgot to blog about FPS test yesterday.
We got in around five min late so we got the late start. I was reading the future scene and did not get what were we supposed to focus on exactly. So, I re-read it again. >.< Finally, I had a vague idea about what was I supposed to do. Kind of. I thought of problems. I was stuck at two. I tried thinking of catergories to broaden my 'views and choices'. Finally, I thought of the last one. I initially thought that there were 4 problems that we were supposed to think up of. Luckily, we were only supposed to do three. hehe. :P
I was rushing through the Underlying Problem that I forgot to focus on 'cyber security system'. I just added that on later so that it would seem to relate to teh topic. :p I think went on rush through the solutions and criterias. My action plan was kind of done I guess. I finished! Successfully! :D So happy~

PE was unexpectedly fun. We played frisbee. We had to throw frisbee to one another and cover one round of the track. I throwed quite badly i think. :( But I caught nicely :D Was quite fun! We came in third in the first round and first in the second round. Woohoo! :)

Computing was slaaaacccck as usual. Mr Low was rambling stuff about videos that did not really get into my head at all. Was reading blogs, plurking, twittering and just roaming around. x) Computing was more of a rest time for us after PE I guess. :)

LA lesson was quite fun. We had to split into groups and do discussion for Merchant of Venice. We DID discuss for like 10 min maybe then started talking. Valen started dotting Nicole's elbow. Her elbow was full of dots and random black lines. Haha. Then suddenly Valen started using the whiteboard marker to dot my arm. I then took the marker from him and drew A BIG SMILEY FACE on his arm. Haha. He was rubbing it hard. :p LOL.

Discussed maths project for maths trail thingy after school. I thought that we would take realllllyyyy long then in the end we came up with the idea in like 10 min? :) The idea is quite cooooolllll :D :D :D


~life might be wonderful now, but chaotic the next

stress

Went to macs just now with like 11 people...
Nicole g, Suting, Yuan Wen, Pamela, Genevieve, Benedict, Yohanes, Wei Rong, Zhen Yang, Jin Heok, Xu Hua, Valen.
Played some game with the other 5 girls. :) Was quite fun! I ate an extra 8 fries... D:

Today was okay lahs....
GAP was okay. Im in a group with Gen, Joelle, Weirong, Yohanes. Almost all I never group up with them before. We wasted a lot of time arguing about the characters and what sport to choose. LOL. I think our storyboard exceeded 10 secs. -.-

Yesterday was terrible. Especially at night.
I was on the laptop chionging the history project.
Then during the 1h 30min, dunno what that person was doing. When I ask him to paste his part on the google docs, he just posted crap. What was he doing during that 1h 30min?! In the end, Zhen Yang and I just did his part. Was damn pissed. At that same time, there was a lot of people asking me about projects and stuff. Maths, video, SIP.... I was just really stressed! STRESSED! Seriously. From this experience, I finally now know that live face-to-face is much more better than chatting online. You never know what the other person is actually doing on the other side.

Found some cuts in my mouth this morning. I dunno how they got there.
There were some skin (?) or something that I scrapped off since they were already like cut?
Bled a little. I rinsed my mouth and stared at it more.
I was considering the possibility of me gritting my teeth too hard while sleeping due to all that stress last night. Cuz gritting teeth while sleeping is usually due to stress... hmm....


~school's reopening... zzz

ruyi's b'dae

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I FINALLY FINISHED ALL MY INDIVIDUAL HOMEWORK.
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I finished my Chinese book review thingy just now. I planned yesterday.
The Geog essay I researched some stuff that I wanted and wrote it out in 1h 15min :D Not bad i think :)

Tomorrow's gonna be Ruyi's birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAL :D

After finishing the CIP at CVPS, Grace, Leeting and I went to Compass Point.
We ate Burger King, affordable 4. :)
Then finally managed to persuade Ruyi to meet us at Sculpture Park.
We went to make the cake at Icing Room :P
The yellow deco was screwed because the icing melted I guess.
It was raining very HEAVILY. So our shoes all became wet when we reached Sculpture Park to meet Ruyi.
Went up to Ruyi's house and sang her birthday song! :)
The rest ate the cake except me. Kinda full.
We played cards, dai di and stress. The last part where we had like a tag team was damn funny. The last game was like prolonged till like 10 min cuz we kept stressing each other. Just when Grace and I gonna win, (last card no.9) Ruyi go and stress us! HAHAHAAH.
I think my reaction at being stressed was EPIC. I was like screaming. HAHAHA x)
Very fun! Should have more gatherings like this :) :)

^Ruyi's cake

Meanwhile, I am watching drama. :D

transcript...

I went to Bryan's house yesterday for the History interview.
Ate lunch at e!hub with grace, felix and zhenyang before going. We ate at Mr Chicken Rice! :)
Felix and Zhenyang finished faster so they started pouring sauces into each other's plates. -.-
When Zhenyang went to the toilet, Grace, Felix and I were considering the possibility of Zhenyang being a bodyguard. We asked him to make stern faces when he came back. HAHAHA.

Bused to Bryan's house. We got off one stop later. Was kinda lost. Was still finding our way desperately when we suddenly heard Bryan's voice and found him. The situation was made worse with the rain. zzz.

Slacked for like 40min plus when we reached Bryan's house cuz we had to wait for his grandma.
Did the interview. Found it quite okay except for when the grandma doesn't really answer our questions.
My hand was very tired from holding the mouthpiece to record. Felix was busy typing away.
When we finally finished, we were given soybean milk to drink :D
Felix somehow spilled the drink on his laptop. The laptop started to make sizzling noises.
We tried to dry it by blowing the hair-dryer on his laptop. Then the laptop kinda went a bit too hot? Then we put it in front of the fan. We seemed like a hilarious bunch of people who have no clue about laptops.

Tried to do Geog concept map as well. It was okay.....
But Felix, Bryan and Zhenyang were glued to the computer while mapling. zzz
In the end, Grace did most of the work I think. haha.
I was on a smaller laptop chatting with ben and suting.
Suting told me that Orchard Road was flooded and I went internet to check it out. COOL.
Ben and Yoh kept interchanging cuz they were at ben's house doing hist project too.
Yoh typed some sick-sounding stuff and Ben kept declining it. HAHA.

Finally, went back home. Found out that we could take 89 straight from Bryan's house. zzz.
Took 89. Grace was late for her violin class. I guess. :P

At night, I went out with my parents and bro to rivervale plaza at like 8.15pm.
We went to mac's cuz there was free broadcasting there. I ate mcwings and read my chinese book :)
The people in mac's were like 'ohh'-ing everytime Chile missed.
Chile won with 1-0 in the end I think. :)
After that, my dad and I went to look for my mom and bro. Cannot find them.
Made our way back ourselves in the end. -.-
Watched GLEE :D The main character girl was kinda.... erm disgusting cuz she totally threw herself on the guy. Anyway, the blond cheer leading girl actually sings quite well. :)

Meanwhile, I am reading comics :D
Finished the transcript for the 30min long interview. Damn happy with myself.
Havent exactly finished my homework. Sianzzz.
Later gonna do SOME. I think. Hehe.
Funny how the laptop entices you to stay online when there is actually nothing to do ._.



~i want glee!

pics

Here are some pictures that I have gotten from my cousin cuz I did not take any pictures then:

^The dumplings that my cousin made. We made a lot that day :)

^A cupcake that was not baked yet.

^A baked cupcake :D

^The whole collection of cupcakes :)

Today was kind of boring. 

I wore my contacts instead of glasses as I suddenly felt like it. hehe.

Iris, Ivy and my auntie fetched my grandmother here and stopped by for a while. 

Ivy and I were doing our homework while Iris was watching "Cloudy with a chance of meatball" which my father had rented. We did not really do anything together. Zzzz.

Am gonna meet up for history interview project tomorrow. Kinda nervous to interview Bryan's grandma.

Read manga today :) It is called V.B. Rose. Go read :) It is quite nice. It was really kinda fufilling to finish reading all the available chapters of a comic since I have been stopping halfway these days.

I read the Toto-chan book until page 100 yesterday!!!!!! ACHIEVEMENT :D

I also watched Fringe season 2. A good guy died. Sooooo saddd. He even had a wife and kids lehs. :'(

Currently a bit hooked on Plurk :P Just joined so still abit obsessed with it. My karma is so low - 11. D:

Facebook has been a bit full of activity today too. Glad since it has been a bit erm... deserted the past few days. hehe.

Well, I gonna go offline now :) Got a bunch of stuff waiting for me to start and finish on. I gotta feeling that my NYAA is gonna die. >.<

~bored

Chinese dumplings 粽子

Hiie people!

Went to stay over at my cousin's house for 3 days 2 nights. They have been hooked up on a Taiwan drama called, "It started with a kiss". I kept reprimanding the main characters for being so dumb. Especially the girl.

Baked cupcakes. It ended up being really bitter. We guessed that it was because we used magarine instead of butter. It might have tasted nice if we used butter. :p

Played badminton with my cousin and auntie. Havent been playing for a while and I used a lot of strength. My hand started shivering afterwards. My arm still aches. The after effects of playing too hard.

On the last day, I went to my grandma's house to make chinese dumplings. It's the 3-dimensional triangle one wrapped in leaves. It seemed easy when my experienced grandma folded it swiftly. However, when we tried the real thing, we kinda sucked. I guess. I folded a few nice ones. I think that I folded about 11 in total. It seemed little compared to how much my aunties and mom folded.

We ate katong laksa that my aunt and 2nd eldest cousin bought after they went for facial. ._.
Stuck in my grandma's room all day with my 2 cousins and a laptop until they returned.
I kinda miss Xiaobao, the dog. :(

Meanwhile stuck at home. Watched a lot of movies that my dad rented. Lazy to type my verdict. So I'll just give ratings.

Planet 51: 3.5/5
Vampire's Assistant: 3/5
Cloudy with a chance of meatballs: 3.5/5
Whiteout: 3/5

By the way, I cut my fringe yesterday :)


~it's not what you are, it's who you are

Ben's bday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BENEDICT!

Well, my post is abit late. But still....

We went to Tampines (again!) for his birthday. Bought him Adam Lambert disc (thank us! xD)
After walking outside the movie theater for like 30 min (zzz...), we finally decided to eat PastaMania. I ate Turkey Bacon Aglio. Was delicious! Poor Suting has to rush off. She ate the cheapest pasta too. We chatted about ostriches and guys???
After eating, we went to watch "Killers".

KILLERS

Storyline: Spencer is a secret agent who had killed 14 people..... Jen is an ordinary women who had just broke up..... They meet and fall in love. After 3 years of marriage, someone is after Spencer even though he has quit his previous job.

Verdict: I find the movie quite entertaining. I mean, the lines are catchy and there are no unneccessary moments. Even though there are a few... ahem moments. The movie is abit too short. I don't mind another 30 minutes of fun-filled laughter. Although the part where Jen's father and Spencer face each other could have been a bit more 'explained'? Like more fighting and action :D

Rating: 3.5/5 Who cares if the papers don't like it? I DO :D

Anyway, I have just read the simplified version of the book "The Mysterious Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde". It is a bit nice and interesting especially when you think about a person being 2. Like good VS evil kind of thing. Although I have to say that Dr Jekyll is stupid for trusting his silly medicine and for obtaining impure salt. After all, that makes all the difference. Even though, this book is quite a good read. It would actually be all right to skip the useless front part and just read on to when the main character finds out about Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. x)

~wasting time away

humans camp

Just came back from Humanities Camp. :)
It was fun, in a way. Went back to where I had my p5 camp. Brings back fond memories.
I saw Rachel Lim tooooo :D :D :D
I travelled to a few places: NMS, Wallace Trail, Labrador Park, VivoCity/Harbourfront.
I was in Group 9. My group rocks :D
During the Open House, the dog and bone game made us seem like mad dogs. Hahaha. We were rushing to grab the duster and banged into each other. Especially the part where everybody rushed in. The duster got lost for a minute and we were puzzled. HAHAHAHAHAH.
My group won the best Geography work, for our directory cube in Vivocity. ^^
My group also won the 'treasure hunt' in NMS since Nic, Yohanes and I were trainee docents there once. Felt a bit guilty since we had the upper hand but happy at the same time. Our prize was some fake archaeology thingy where we try to find the treasure which is embedded in a rock/sand. -.-
There was one night where we had to chiong our forum thingy as well. THANKS TO MR CHIN WHO LENT US HIS MAC! :)

Overall, I think that the camp was fufilling in a sense. Had fun although it was a bit below my expectations. Bathing times were GREAT, as my group always left last but return first. So we got to bathe first. :P Exchanged contacts with my group 9 members as well. Will remember y'all!

GROUP 9

Anyway, I have just read the article, 1. "Singaporeans asked to chew on their manners" as well as 2. "Hypocrites! Aussie paper hits out at S'poreans for being rude".
1. http://www.smh.com.au/world/singaporeans-asked-to-chew-on-their-manners-20100530-wnjm.html
2. http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sgseen/what_bugs_me/387762/hypocrites_aussie_paper_hits_out_at_sporeans.html#commentSection
I felt that this was an interesting topic and posted my comment on website 2.

My comment:

Even though I agree with the fact that Ms Tamara Thiessen's report is probably biased and hypocritical, STOMPer Vassili still should not have used the case of "Racists in Austria VS Rude S'poreans". It is the wrong analogy to use.

It may be true that Singaporeans are materialistic, but to flame us as going to churches for networking is exaggerating and insulting to us. Has Ms Tamara Thiessen even considered about those who truly believe in their religion and go to the churches/temples out of good intentions? By posting such a comment, she is hurting millions of people out there. Talk about good manners.

Even so, I do agree that some Singaporeans do need to take note of their manners.  We are indeed sometimes selfish and self-centered. This report would maybe do good to those people out there.

In the end, what I would like to say is that I would gladly appreciate it if news reporters/article writers think twice and fairly before writing such insulting articles. 

I hope that you guys will be interested in this article and take a look. Comment fairly too! :)

chalet

have been lagging for a few days after being hooked to the drama "You're Beautiful".

I shall talk about chalet. Won't give really specific details.
We BBQed on 2 nights. My cousin, brother, mum and I went to Wild Wild Wet. Haven't been there for like 6 years??? It was fun although walking on all those tiny little stones really hurt my feet.
Watched Resident Evil 1. It wasn't as nice as Resident Evil 2 I think. Looking forward to Resident Evil 3. :)
Chalet was fun although I think that we have kinda grown up and gotten tired of the Escape Theme Park and WWW. Anyway, there was like a huge sale there so I finally bought REAL FBTS! :D

There. That was short, huh?
Will be going off tomorrow to Labrador Adventure Park, where I had my first camp during primary 5. :)
I hope that we wont do anything strenuous.... I mean, it's a Humanities camp, right?

Yesterday was Nicole's birthday. So.....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NICOLE!

We went to eat Pizza Hut at Tampines Mall and went to watch Prince of Persia.
I am lazy to write out summary so I will just give my opinions.

PRINCE OF PERSIA

Verdict: Everything was exciting. It was good and I actually half-closed my eyes when those weapons started flying around. It would have been a blast if it was in 3D. HOWEVER, the ending was a spoiler. The guy seriously shouldn't have turned back time. Even if you want to turn back time, then just turn a little only. Turn until the starting of the movie is abit errrr.... exxagerating and spoiler!

Rating: 3.5/4

~going off AGAIN
