~thinking of the past

Hello! Yesterday was terrific and fun! Although we did not win the grand prize, we still felt a sense of accomplishment and happiness. :) Here are some details of yesterday.
Last Day of Orientation - Concert
We arrived earlier to help out and saw that most of our classmates were already in the class preparing. The class spirit never felt stronger! The mascot's materials were finished and the skit has been rehearsed. What was left was the class cheer.
We then ate our sumptuous dinner. The desert was fruits and ice-cream. Yummy! Someone even mixed the ice-cream with the fruits and made it something like a banana split. Hahas. One of the SCs tried it and kept commenting that it was delicious. She should advertise for such things! Haha. From her expression, I am pretty sure that she was telling the absolute truth! :) Meanwhile, songs from different classes were played to dedicate it to some people. We dedicated the song, "Flying without wings" to ourselves! Haha, abit selfish, right? But I am not to blame. After all, I was not the one to choose the songs. :)
Anyway, the class cheer goes like this, in order:
1) 1K, can you hear me?
Aye, Captain!
I can't hear you...!
Aye, Captain!
Oooo.... (feet stamping)
2) We will, we will... step you flat like a gingerbread and never let you step us back!
We step you oo, we step you la!
We step you, step you, Ooo lala~~~
3) Twinkle twinkle little star... K!
How I wonder what you are... E!
Up above the world so high... L!
Like a diamond in the sky... L!
Twinkle twinkle little star... Y!
How I wonder what you are... X!
4) K-E-L-L-Y-X
Kellyx Kellyx is the best!
K-E-L-L-Y-X
Kellyx Kellyx beats the rest!
我们棒, 我们醋!
我们绝对不认输!
K-E-L-L-Y-X
Kellyx, Kellyx... Oleh!
5) A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z,
Now I know my ABC, next time won't you sing with me?
6) (11 claps) O-N-E-K-E-L-L-Y-X-0-9 (x2)
Though we are small in number,
We will never crumble.
We will strive together,
And brave the stormy weather.
7) Kellyx rocks, Kellyx rules!
1 Kellyx is sud sey too!
8) (while going out of stage) Kellyx's is the best!
Kellyx's is the best!
Kellyx's the best among the rest...!
We are here to show our POWER, POWER, POWER!
We are the best among the rest!
Mistake
At cheer 6, we stopped halfway, forgetting the cheer! We were quite frightened that we had forgotten the cheer! Argh! But we still pulled through... Hahas.
Concert Pictures and Details
After all the classes had performed, the SCs performed by forming letters using the light sticks. The way they co-ordinated themselves were a good example to us! We should be like them and co-operate with one another. :)
Then, there was a band called SC aka Something Cool. They sang two songs I think. Seriously though, their singing is not that good. No offence though! Maybe it is because the guy's voice haven't break yet so when he is supposed to go low, he can't. Hahas.
After which, we sang our level song. I love it! :) <333>

~reminiscing memories

I am suupppeeerrr excited! Today is the last day of orientation and I will be performing in a concert with my newly-made friends and classmates.
I was in the group in charge of decorating the banner. The banner is finished and looks vibrant and colourful, though it just needs a few more finishing touches. It represents different characters of us and am I proud as well as glad that I can be of some help! :)
Another group was the one which is doing the mascot, Scooby Doo. With their creativity, I am sure that the mascot will come out brilliant! They are using cardboard and some other materials to make our mascot seem as realistic as possible. Their hardwork and perseverance will soon pay off, I am sure! :D
The last group is in charge of planning the skit. The skit goes something like this:
Scooby Doo and some other characters are going to participate in a talent contest. However, Barney wants to cheat. Scooby Doo overheards the conversation between Barney and his accomplice. Scooby Doo informs the judges but they do not believe him. Thus, Scooby Doo hides a recorder/microphone behind him and questions Barney. Barney remarks, "So what if I want to cheat?" What he says is being aired in the auditorium. The judges are shocked and disqualifies him. Scooby Doo is praised for his quick thinking.
Actually, Grace and I do not really like the script of the skit. In fact, I think that since the characteristics of Kellyx is charming and affable, he should be doing something like a kind deed. Perhaps when Scooby Doo and Shaggy were eating, they heard the news reporting of the terrible state which the poor children of Africa were in. Scooby Doo and Shaggy were touched and set off for Africa with the gang in a private plane. They reached Africa in a few days and gave some free food to the kids and interacted with them. This trip left a deep impression on the gang...
Anyway, will be going to school later and then will be staying there til around 9.30pm. I will be going earlier later to help finish up the remaining work. :) Will post about the concert and take some pictures, that is, if I can. :)

~waiting for the exciting moments...

Hello! Lovin my school though it is a bit big and I may get lost in it... Hahas. :D
Case of the early and late bus, 30
We took the earlier MRT, hoping to reach school before 7.30 which we had succeeded in yesterday. eThus, we followed yesterday's procedure, quite sure that our plan would work. However, when we reached the bus-stop, at the same time as yesterday, the bus did not come. Instead, we even had to wait 5 minutes later than the usual time when we took the 7.20am bus. I had checked the frequency and they said, '6 to 13 minutes'. However, we reached the bus-stop at 7am and missed the bus. And we have to wait 20 minutes before the next bus. I don't think that what they say is what they do. What's more, Dunman High had said that SBS agreed to increase the frequency of the buses which can be taken to DHS. Haiz, I hope that SBS can do something about such an incident. Thanks. :)
East Coast Park
I went, in fact, walked, to East Coast Park from the school. It was a loooonnnnggggg walk. We were tired and sweaty by the time we reached there. Sigh!
We played some games and my group won 3 out of 4 games, I think. There was a tie in one of the winning games. Woohoo! xD And I find that my group is abit funny, without a reward or anything, we would not cheer loudly, hahas. :) We picked up some fallen branches of the Casuarina trees and played the game of breaking the branch then fixing it again. After that, we will ask a friend which part of the branch was broken. It is tough and challenging but fun too!
Concert
Tomorrow, we will have a concert for those in Year One. Our class is Kellyx and our mascot is Scooby Doo cause it is brown, heehee. :P Will be posting maybe tomorrow about the happenings. :) Enjoy your school days everyone though they may be tiring.
Level Song
Our level song is 我们之间 by Lolipop (a taiwanese band group). This is the lyrics:
棒棒堂-我们之间
这一段时间有着什么样的画面
喜怒哀乐全写在日记里面
发现每一页全都是经典
所有故事都值得纪念
现实的考验我们说好一起面对
不管多久多远绝对不喊累
期待彼此更美好的明天
我们说好谁也不放弃谁
手牵着手(连成线最紧密的圆圈)
肩靠肩(每一刻都好像在身边)
深呼吸做你最高的堡垒
风吹过的海边
雨水下过的季节
让我好想念
我们之间不会有改变
相同的起点一瞬间
变成了乐园
我们之间转了一大圈
相同的终点会发现
所有的心愿会实现
You may heard the music at youtube. Click here. :)

~gettin' ready for the schooldays and homework, haha...

Looked at some of the stations of CCAs. Was suuupppeeerrrr tired due to yesterday and today's climbing up and down the stairs.... x( Some of my choices for the CCAs:
1) Badminton
2) Volleyball
3) English Drama and Dance (wanna try dance?)
4) Choir
Yep, so the above are so far the choices which seem...... nice? ^.^
Badminton might not get in as there are lots of people wanting to join too... haiz. So maybe will land up in other CCAs. LOL. XP
anyway, tomorrow going to East Coast Park and bet will be tired, again. hahas. my legs are aching now.... next time must exercise more, hahas. Anyway, not sure if I should join one more CCA, if I do, all my days might not be free and I will stay back until like 6.30 everyday. So not sure, still being caught in between. Like a repeat scenerio of choosing the secondary school.
Anyway, gotta go! :)

Hello! Sorry for the long 'gap' in the time between my posts! I have been pretty busy and always getting back home at around 5pm so it is quite hard to find time to post.

I am in class 1K, K stands for kellyx, it is a colour which is something like brown. ---------->>>>>
The first day of orientation was started with a lecture by the principal and some HOA (Head of Academic) staff. Well, it was quite boring and all but at least I got some info on my subjects which I will be taking for Sec 1. :) After that, our SCs (student consellors) introduced some ice-breaker games and I knew a little more about my classmates whom I am going to be with for the next two years.....
Today aka second day of orientation, it started with the concert rep. We were supposed to perform on Friday about our class, etc. We made our identity... dunno what. hahas. some pictures of it. the 1K on top is also part of it. :D

^my identity...

^identity on my hand :)

^DHSpectrum (the theme for this year)

~getting used to secondary school life...

Firstly... I just want to shout out:

Oh yay! I am on par with Grace and we are gonna compete. Currently, we are having the same score, but very soon, I will have more posts than her, mwhawhawha! XP Jkjk! Oh, and I almost forgot to wish everyone a Happy New Year! May all of you strive and may business prosper! May everyone have good luck, including me! Heehee. :) Anyway, today was:

The First Day of School

First Impression
The first impression of walking into a whole new, renovated school with my brand new, stainless school uniform which has never been worn before was totally mesmerizing as well as a bit messy. The concrete ground was full of chattering students who were just as excited as the Year One students. No one knew this school like the back of their hand except for the designer as this school has had a whole new look as well as a whole new year ahead of it. And this was just the beginning.

Homecoming Concert
Our hearts beating faster than it could have been, we stared at the stage, waiting for something or anything to happen. Then, we sang the national anthem with pride and said the pledge with a few loopholes as we were not really acquainted with the chinese pledge. Even though the hall was totally air-conditioned, we were still feeling a little frustrated as the school kept asking us to stand and then sit. We watched the rest of the performance in peace but then our legs were going numb with being in the same position for a long time. I felt sleeping as my eyelids started getting heavier by the minute. But I forced myself to stay awake. Finally, after the display of dances and performances, we got ready to go to our form class...

In Class
My teacher was Ms Lee. She was a friendly and vibrant teacher who is enthusiastic in I think, almost everything. She is also a little amusing, which allows us, strangers in a class, to loosen up a bit as well as let the tense atmosphere change into a lively one. I was lucky to be in the same class as Grace, my friend from my primary school. At the end, I made friends with quite a few pupils and it was quite an accomplishment. :)

Malay Special Programme-Third Language
I went to the school's general office to collect the application form for the Malay Special Programme. What I saw was a busy woman who was too irritated to answer me properly. I was a little angry but still, understood how she felt. After all, this was the first day of school. Unsure of what to do, I asked Ms Lee for help. She checked it out with the teacher in charge and she said that I was supposed to get a form which should be found at the general office, if not, I would have to go to Bishan to collect it. I went into the general office again. This time, the teacher there explained to me that the forms were supposed to be given to them so that students could fill them up. However, they did not receive the forms so they adviced me to come again next week. I nodded my head, satisfied with the answer.

Vivo City
After the first day of school, I headed to Vivo City with Vivianne, Yuping, Grace and Maranda. I wanted to watch, "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea". The movie looks so interesting and kawaii~! But my friends, unfortunately, could not, so the idea was being pushed aside. We ate our lunch at a Kopitiam except for Vivianne who was with her mother. We then went back home, exhausted.

By the way, I brought a white bag.

Countdown to 100 posts: 1

Hello! My brother's childcare has half-day so he is at home with me. Listening to Ashley Tisdale's I Will Be Me. (nice song!) You can also listen to Last Christmas. Nice too! <3 Lovin it! Haha!
Last day before New Year, 2009. And a few more days before Little Nyonya ends and a few more days before I go to Dunman High in my school uniform for the first time. :) And next time, Vivo City will be like Compass Point to me as I will be stopping at the bus-stop when I come home. :D
Went Compass Point yesterday, bought a Maths assessment book. Did one chapter yesterday. Was a bit rusty. xD heehee. Guess that I must work now, if not, when I go back to school, I will be last? Going to be in a class with people of my standard or higher. So I have to work harder, sacrifice more (like sleep time?) and soon, will earn more. Like the saying, you reap what you sow. lol. But it is quite true. Like the baddies having retribution. xD (in shows)
Hoped that you all enjoyed reading my summary for those who did not get the chance to see the 8pm-9pm show. Understand it, right? Course sometimes my sentence is abit broken so it might not make sense to some people. Haha XP
I am like competing with Marilyn and Grace over the game of 100 posts? haha. :)
Something that I dont understand is why Marilyn wants a new blog with the same blogskin as before. Diao. -.-''' It is like meaningless? My parents say that maybe she wants to start anew in her secondary school? Anyway, just wanna say that I miss my primary school friends. Wishing to go back to primary school again though I felt like getting out of school as quickly as possible last time. I guess feelings change quickly?

Hiie! Here to do the long-awaited (jkjk) summary. hahas. :D

Summary of Little Nyonya Special Timing: 8pm-9pm

-....... (different segment)

-Yueniang's Mama is being pushed down from the second level to the ground by Jincheng. Yuzhu saw what happened and was rooted to the ground. Jincheng, knowing that there was a witness, was scared out of his wits.
-Mama's death was brought on by her ownself, she had it coming, says Tua Ji. Yuzhu mumbled that Yueniang's Mama died because of her and that she wanted to see her auntie. Xiufeng does not allow her to as she is getting married tomorrow. Jincheng promises Yuzhu give Mama a proper burial. Yuzhu is heartbroken.
-TuaJi asks Jincheng to just call an undertaker and bury the body and that there is no need for a proper burial. Even Tia agrees. Jincheng has no choice but to do so even though Jincheng's conscience tells him to do otherwise.
-Yueniang wants to visit her Mama. Yidao gave her some money, saying that her Mama is his. :)
-Yueniang arrives at Huangs door. Hiding behind a tree, she sees Yuzhu wearing a bridal gown, entering the wedding car with Robert. Yueniang is shocked, why is Yuzhu marrying Robert?
-Yuzhu wonders sadly in the car, "Did Yueniang's Mama sacrifice her life in exchange for Yuzhu's? Suddenly, Robert holds Yuzhu close and tries to kiss her. She hits him. Then, Robert glares at her and says sarcastically, "I'll be a doting husband to you."
-Yueniang arrives at Huangs' back door. She asks Tao-jie what happened. Tao-jie cries and breaks out the news of Mama's death to her. Yueniang questions the cause of Mama's death. Tao-jie blames herself, explaining that the Huangs told her that Mama had fallen down the staircase and broken her neck and that she should have gone to check on Yuzhu instead of Mama. Tao-jie also explains that TuaJi doesn't allow Mama to be carried out from the front door.
-Tianbao appears, ordering the undertakers to take out Mama's body. Tianbao scolds Yueniang, saying that TuaJi did not allow her to step into the Huangs house and closes the door.
-Tao-jie hurries and locks the door which contains Mama's body. Tianbao orders some servants to knock down the door. Tao-jie persists but to no avail.
-Tianbao with the undertakers open the back door and Yueniang and gang appears. The caretakers want to run away upon seeing Yidao. Tia and TuaJi are informed about the happenings. Tianbao calls Inspector Qiang to call them off.
-The police arrives. Yidao says that collecting a body is not a crime, why should they be arrested. Yueniang threatens Qiang by saying that she will inform the newspaper about police arresting people without reason. Qiang, intimidated, finally leaves.
-TuaJi is furious and asks Tianbao to call another lawyer. Jincheng is scared and comments that it was just a body, why add fuel to the fire. Xiujuan appears and says, "TuaJi, you are being foolish. Why let a mere woman affect your mood? If I were you, I would be playing ceki and eating betel nuts now." TuaJi thinks about what Xiujuan had said.
-Mama's body is being carried out through the front door. Yueniang cries her heart out and leans on Mama's body. Mama is given a proper burial. :) Yueniang and Yidao are overwhelmed with sadness.
-Xiujuan comments that Yueniang is the woman with the most guts. Jincheng asks her to soften her voice in case people heard them. Then, they.... ahem.
-Robert enters the room. Yuzhu is sitting on the bed in a daze. Robert says, "T am going to enjoy watching you being tortured by me tonight."
-Yuzhu puts a knife to Robert's neck. Robert, frightened, says that they can talk things out calmly. He even swears that he will do good deeds. Suddenly, he runs away, shouting, "Cheng! Help!" Yuzhu chases after him but is soon held back by men.
-Robert wants to annul the marriage. Yuzhu's family is informed. Charlie discusses with Jincheng about Yuzhu. Charlie says that due to this incident, the Huangs will also not get the distributor contract. Jincheng begs them to give Yuzhu another chance. Robert says that he is willing to if Yuzhu kowtows to his father and him.
-Tianbao scolds Yuzhu for being stupid by trying ti kill Robert. Jincheng stops him and orders him to get out of the room. Jincheng then kneels in front of Yuzhu and blames himself for the death of Yueniang's Mama and for not being able to give the family a good life. Yuzhu tells him not to be like this. Jincheng begs her not to be foolish and continue to be a good wife to Robert. Yuzhu agrees unwillingly.
-Yuzhu kowtows to Robert and Charlie Zhang and apologises.
-At night, Robert orders Yuzhu around, asking her to help him wash feet. Robert splashes the water onto Yuzhu by stamping his feet in the water. He says that what if she had hidden a weapon under her clothes. Robert orders her to remove her clothes. Yueniang does so unwillingly and cries when Robert touches her. *censored*
-The next day, Robert meets up with Tianbao. Robert wants to appoint him as Deputy GM. Tianbao is elated.
-The conversation goes on to the competition between the Zhangs and the Chens. He says that to overthrow Chens, Tianbao must make sure that Chen Xi does not come out of the hospital.
-Tao-jie was being thrown out of the Huangs house. Tao-jie says that she has some families wanting to hire her. She is not sure which to choose. Tao then decides to follow Yueniang to Singapore. Tao-jie then announces sadly, "Actually, no one wants to hire me." But Tao-jie is willing to go through thick and thin with Yueniang without any pay. They set off for Singapore.
-While leaving Malacca, they pass by some places which brought back some memories, both happy and unhappy. :)
-Yueniang reaches a room in Singapore which she had rented. She wants to go out to sell bird nests to some rich businessmen. She tells Tao to take care of a suitcase full of bird nests. Tao promises...

Finally finished! *applause please!* thank you! :) must read hor!
