The post before
Pardon me for my harsh attitude. Just to let you all know, Vivianne and us are like... friends again? Haha. You know, the thing about friends is that no matter how hard you try to separate them, they will still stick back together like super glue. Unless they move away or something... LOL.

Softball is definitely NOT soft
Had my FIRST taste of what softball training will be like. And guess what it tasted like? Well, a little bitter and too spicy... something like bitter gourd and chilli??? LOL. xD
Anyway, training was like super tough and we had to walk to Kallang Field which was like a distant 'light' that was too faraway to reach out for... -.-''' Yes, I think that it might have been enough to train for my 1.6km?
Since we did not get to use the glove as we had not bought it yet... we had to catch the rubber ball with both our hands. And it was NEARLY torture... xP
Whenever the ball hits my fingers, I feel like as if I had just been electrocuted... The pain is indescribable (correct spelling?)! :(

Work load
I have only two words to describe: EXTREMELY HEAVY!!!!

the worst day of my secondary school life... and this might just be the beginning...

i had once mentioned that i hated saying bad stuff about someone on my blog.
but this time, my fury knows no bounds. and i have to do this...
it was after school.
looking at the dark clouds in the sky, rain was eminent.
ate lunch with nicole, genevieve, krystal and grace.
i ate chicken rice, something which i had a craving for today.
met up with yu ping and maranda who had been looking all around the canteen for us.
they said that vivianne was late and that we had to wait another 15 min for her before we can go off together. i smsed her.
she replied that she needed another 10 min and that she was not eating lunch here.
"not eating lunch here. that's good." i thought to myself.
at least we did not need to wait for her for another 15 min or so.
waiting... waiting... unknowingly, it had started to rain... slight drizzle...
the slight drizzle soon turned to a huge downpour.
we were worried that it might turn worse, thus, decided to stop waiting for vivianne.
while walking out of school, we chanced upon vivianne.
she was with a friend.
she said, "you all go back first, i will go and find a teacher with her."
we were mad. totally.
that meant that we actually did not have to wait for her.
to make things worse, we walked in the pouring rain.
however, even the umbrella seems useless at that point of time.
our bags were wet and our shoes were wet right to the inside too.
to make things even more worse, while waiting for the traffic light to turn green,
a bus which was driving at a high speed went pass us and guess what:
the water splashed on us! boy, were we wet and angry!
imagine the water which people had stepped in splashing on us!
imagine what we must have felt then!
furious, wet, cold, uncomfortable, sad...
and this was all because of vivianne?
we texted her when we were on the bus:
"Do you know that u were very selfish?
we waited for you for 20 min and we are now wet through out.
we are freezing on the bus.
you made us wait and it rained.
in the end, u did not even come with us.
why did you go to the general office?
you should have came straight to us.
next time, dont expect us to wait.
dont reply, save your 'PRECIOUS' money."
yes, so what if we were unreasonable and rude to blame everything on her?
if it was not for her:
-maranda's shoes which she had just worn for the first time today would not be wet
-our bags would not have been wet and yu ping's friend's book would not have been wet, if any printings' ink came out, how will yu ping explain to her friend?
-our shoes would not have been wet and we would not have to rush getting it cleaned and dried
-i would not have to waste 40 min of my PRECIOUS time washing my shoes, socks and skirt thoroughly
i am super angry at her.
every morning, she is also late, what can i do but just go off without her?
hope that she changes this attitude of hers...

Fire incident in Science Lab
When I recall this incident, I feel like laughing.
We, 1K, had a Science lesson. We were supposed to learn how to on the bunsen burner and off it. We learnt about luminous and non-luminous flame. :) interesting.
Then, we were supposed to move a satay stick in and out of the flame twenty times. We did but when Geneveive did that, the flame caught fire and we nearly screamed. The teacher came and told her to throw the stick into the sink. Haha. When we recalled what happened, we giggled non-stop. :D

^The charred satay stick XP



^This has nothing to do with the science lab but then I took this photo in Swensen's. This shows the shadow of my hand holding the translucent cup. Feeling that it looks quite artistic, I took a picture of it. :)

~wondering when will the busy days end
Happy Chinese Niu Year!
Yes, chinese new year has arrived and I went to a lot of relatives' houses to visit them as well as collect hongbao! xP (that's the GREAT thing about CNY)
Went to my maternal grandmother's house around 11am. There was still no one there yet. We were extremely early compared to others. Greeted my uncle's dog, Xiao Bao aka XB, and played with it. She is still as cute as ever. Her nails had grown to be long and when she leaps at me, I cannot help but feel a slight pain and tickle. Hopefully, she cuts her nails soon. :)
Soon, my cousins, aunties and uncles came. Collected hongbaos, of course! :) Then, ate popiah by wrapping it ourselves! Had great fun and took lots of pictures! My cousin and I wore nearly the same clothings at each other! :) Have chemistry??? Looking around, I found out that the 'favourite combinations' this year were: white, purple and red.
Next, I went to my paternal grandparents' house. :) Usual routine: collect hongbaos. heehee. xD Watched my cousins (boys) play the Nintendo DSs. Scolded my brother for moving the stylus to hard and making the screen scatch! hahas. Afterwards, we went to my uncle's house.
We played the Nintendo Wii at my uncle's house and got dizzy due to the confusing images. We played Mario Kart and since the screen was divided into two, we felt that the game was not really that fun to play.
Then, we headed to Uncle Victor's house. He owned a bungalow and we explored his house only to find that almost EVERY room had a television. WOW! Met a young and cute little boy (one year old) called Darren? I think. Collected hongbaos as usual. Then, went home in a rush to catch the Little Nyonya Big Reunion. :)

Halos!
Gonna talk about today! :)
Ate Mac'donalds this morning before heading to school. :)
Afterwards, took Mrt to Serangoon and then took 100. Boy, was it squeezy! Anyway, when I reached the Aljunied bus-stop, it was filled with Dunmanians. LOL. To be expected. We waited and meanwhile, Vivianne, who was late, came down on the next 100 which had arrived.
Well, patience is a virtue. After waiting for around 10 mins, a 158 came. But we could not squeeze in as the bus was totally packed. Thus, while waiting for the bus, we started chatting and chanting a song commenting on the slow bus. AKA complain. xD At that point, I then realised that Grace was not with us. Meaning: she had managed to squeeze up the bus! Haha.
After 15 mins, we were starting to get impatient as there was no sign of the bus. It was 8.45am. The school would be starting in 15 mins.
Desperate, we flagged two taxis, one for Vivianne and her friend and an older girl. Another one for Jocelyn, Yuping, Jingwen and me! We told the taxi driver to drive faster but be cautious too. The kind driver managed to reach the school at exactly 9. However, the school gate was closed.
Then, a worker aka uncle who was in charge of the school's back gate which allowed cars to enter was so kind that he allowed us to enter the school. We thanked him and rushed to our classes.
The music which signalled the start of assembly ended just in time for me to stand in my place. Phew! What an exciting way to start a day!
By the way, I got into SOFTBALL! Yay! x)

~thanking those 'Samaritans' in my heart silently

Hello! I am super worn out but still urged myself to sit on the chair to write a post.
These 5 days, school have started officially while the year 5 and 6 students just got back so they get to enjoy orientation! *envious*
Well, we had elected the chairperson, vice-chairperson, treasurer and secretary. I am the science representative. :) Got to buy some science files for my class on Monday.
Went for the auditions and sports 2nd trial yesterday. I auditioned for Choir and went for the softball's 2nd trial. I got into the so-called-third-trial. :) So began the third trial. I was in the still-considering-group. Meaning I am not sure if I really wanted to take softball as a CCA if I am chosen. Jing Wen 'passed' the trial and is officially in Softball. Congratulations!!! :D I am on the reserved list as I am not sure if I should join the CCA. By the time I reached Compass Point, it was around 7. Boy, was I tired! I also have to express my thanks to Vivianne, Yuping and Jingwen for waiting for me to finish my trial yesterday! TY!
However, after discussing with my mother and father about the situation, they encouraged me to enter Sports. So, first thing on Monday, I will have to inform the teacher in-charge-of Softball.
By the way, here are two drawings which I had done some time ago but did not remember to post it. :) Enjoy!

^A woman which I had copied from a magazine. She was supposed to be holding a mop but I improvised that.


^A comic which shows two siblings. The older sister absolutely loves teddy bears so when she spots a super big and cute one, she is overjoyed. However, the bear turns out to be a trap made by her brother. xD

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>
