Was supposed to go to the library today to renew my book's due date. I am taking awfully long to finish my chi book! >.< But then, while chatting with Nicole G., she told me that the due week was 3 weeks not 2 weeks. LOL.

So in the end I ate some noodles which I cooked. With ketchup sauce!!!! yummy~ ;D And some chicken which I toasted. :) Not bad for a 15 or 10 mins to cook meal! XD

2009 psle

Hey guys! Yesterday, I went to my grandma's house and visited her. Lots of good food! Yummy!!! XD Anyway, I went to buy a magazine, "Hot" at Compass Point. Did not know there was this magazine there in the first place. So, there are all sorts of hot news and stuff about celebrities, mainly Hollywood. XP Less of the hongkong stars etc. Hongkong stars are mostly for I-zhou-kan. :)

So, this years top PSLE is 290 marks out of 300. Sian, it was 3 marks higher than my year. Haha. Anw, Jingwen's sister did not manage to beat her I think. LOL. Everyone keeps comparing marks here and there. It is also kinda pressurizing lehs. And, TG(from taiwan) who lives at Iris' block got 230. Not bad lehs. Actually, these kids from overseas only need to grasp English, then they can score already. Cuz I heard from Yidan (From softball, China) that she came to Singapore just to learn English only. In fact, China the Science and Maths system is much more tougher! WOW!

So, yeah. And yesterday's newspaper report wrote an article about the Australian show that says that Singapore's parents are one of the strictest parents in the WORLD. Click here - World's Strictest Parents, Aug 19 to view the video. I cant see the video for some reason so yeah. Anw, the children say that this is like one of the strictest routine they have ever had. I was reading the 'rules' and realised that they are actually NORMAL. For Singapore, that is. Those are the reaaalllllyyyyy normal rules! Here are they:
  • No smoking
  • No alcohol
  • No sleepovers
  • No boyfriends or girlfriends
  • No swearing
  • Must spend every Sunday as a family
  • Studies come first
  • No skipping school
  • Internet must be used in loungeroom so parents can see what sites they’re logging onto.
They are like real simple and straight-forward. They are the kind of rules I expect. K, maybe some are overly-harsh. Like, the internet being in the loungeroom. And the boyfriends and girlfriends, and the sleepover part. But, things like skipping school, smoking, alcohol and stuff, these are kinda expected right??? LOL. So yeah. Singapore is NOT that strict. But then, we ARE kind of conservative. After all, we are made of Chinese, Malays, Indians. These are the races which have their own tradition and bringing up their kids properly is one of them. Definitely. While the Americans might be... a tad too adventurous. They leave their kids uncontrolled. While too much control is not good, too little control is also not good.

Also, I was watching Rush Hour 3 on TV when I started outlining a model in the newspaper. I decided to scan it since it looks quite nice XD

P.S. Anyone wanna watch 'New Moon' with me???

blocked

Finally!!!! It's FINALLY blocked week!!!!!!!!!!!! XD Yahoo~! K, right, actually, it is not exactly blocked week now. But then, after this week, it would be! So, I am just celebrating early. XP Sianz. Today's training started out quite fine. Until the end.

We started with some throwing first. I threw with Jingwen. Here, I am gonna say 'Sorry!!!' to everyone who had to run about just to catch the balls that I threw. Really sorry!!!! >.<''' K, so after that, we did some fielding. I cannot throw one base, so the coach PURPOSELY asked me to stand at first base to throw home. -.- Then, he switched me to be the catcher. LOL. Seriously, there is no problem with my batting, catching, fielding. EXCEPT for my throwing. Gah!!!!!!

Then, we sat and rested while the coach gave some talk to Vernetta and Jalyn. I think that it was cuz they asked whether it was time to go back home already or something. But then the coach was quite angry today cuz of our reflections/observations. He gave us a 40 min long talk in the morning when the C Div training started. WOW!

Then, we did some swift stick batting. (I actually thought it was called 'sweet stick' XD) The waffer (correct spelling?) balls were flying everywhere. kk, abit exagerrated. LOL. Anw, then, we had to pack the stuff after warm-up. It was kinda tiring cuz we only had 7 ppl. Vernetta and Jalyn went already. Haiz. We did not have the key so we left the stuff outside the storeroom.

By the time we were done packing, we were DAMN tired sia. Jingwen kept cursing cuz the equipment was damn heavy. We changed and stuff. I collected my books and was prepared to go when the coach suddenly call us back, saying that the storeroom was opened and that we can go put the equipment back inside. Wah sey. Damn angry liaos. We went back AGAIN, kept the stuff. Jingwen was there cursing all the way. Haha. Then, the coach say, "How can you all leave the equipment outside there?" He said that Mr Wee and him had went to take the key so how can we like leave the stuff there. I was there thinking, "We did not even KNOW that they were taking the key. And, if the key cannot find, what you want us do? Stand outside the whole day and guard is it?!" Damn angry. Jing wen was like gonna break down liaos. Haiz. :(

After that, I went to compass point with Amanda and ate KFC with her. I was having a hard time eating the chicken. -.- And it was quite hot and spicy. >.< Then, we went to take the bus and bus 86 came already bt Amanda didn't allow me to go. x( LOL. Then, we took bus 80 together in the end. I got down before her of course.


~Damn tired

200th

Yay!!!!!!!!!!
Guess what?
This is the...

200th POST!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!! K, it might not be THAT much for ppl who post like, everyday. But then, this is like a huge achievement for me :) AND, my posts are usually damn long so it seems more like an accomplishment to me. :D

Haha. Just ate lunch which was hor fun. It was cooked by my grandma. Pro right? She should like go open an eatery or something. XP Her food are always delicious one lor! That is if her 'feeling' is there. She told me once that if she does not have the mood, then she will anyhow cook. But if she feels good, her food will always have like something special. Now I totally agree on "Put love into the food"~! ;D

Anyway, my Restaurant City is like being caught up by Iris. We are like competing with each other and seeing who overtakes who. Haha. Anyway, it is getting kinda boring liaos. Cuz all that we have to do is just let it run and earn money. Haiz. I wanna overtake Weirong too. Last time he was dunno how many levels below me then he suddenly accelerate and overtake me!!!!! Gah!!!! Haha. Jiayous to me! XD

rain

Hi guys! I actually wanted to blog about something but I cannot due to some reasons... So, for an avid blogger like me who wants to blog about every interesting thing, it is quite infuriating for me! Gah!!!! Why cant I blog about it?!!!!! Haiz, anyway, I skipped softball today cuz I still have flu(due to the frequent rains) and a slight cough. And whats more, it has been raining EVERYDAY. So, I guess the girls at softball training must be doing PT now unless it rains in sengkang but not in tanjong rhu.

Yesterday, I watched Project Runway and America's Next Top Model. Both reality TV shows are mostly about fashion and stuff. Project Runway was really interesting and I saw this one girl who made a dress out of only one cloth and it gt the top among all the designers. It was really nice and it fitted the theme well. :) I think last week, or last last week, she also gt top. So, it was really quite amazing. :P

As for Project Runway, there was this girl who was actually like American (or English) that kind of girl bt she looked kinda like those Chinese with really big eyes. I thought that she looked kinda weird lors. And the models are not exactly THAT beautiful cuz they are beautiful only when they have makeup and stuff. But they are not natural beautiful. I think that the host(?), a 'retired' model, looked better cuz her skin and everything are like damn natural and she looks really pretty. :)

Ah! Yes, I found a comic, "Wild Ones". Storyline interesting although when you read it on mangafox, there are like 10(?) missing chapters. LOL. But you can still get the story cuz it revolves around a like main line. Yesterday, I watched the first episode of Temptation Of Wife/Cruel Temptation on Channel U, 7pm. The first episode was kinda boring so I felt that they should just skip it all the way to the part where the guy betrays the wife. LOLs. Haiz, so boring. I am currently gonna finish my maths hmwk. Bt I am still like dilly-dallying. Oh, and I gotta ask my dad go buy Chinese newspaper for my newspaper article thingy. Haiz... And I have to finish a Chinese book consisting of 225 pages. :( HELP~!

cookies

Hey guys!!!! Sorry for not posting for quite long! Anyway, I went to Ikea, Giant and of course, Courts, on Saturday. My father did not come so it was only my mother, bro and me. We went to Giants' foodcourt and ate while waiting for my auntie. Soon after, my cousin, Iris, auntie and my grandma came. :)

We then went to buy some stuff for our Taiwan trip. So excited! I am going to Taiwan and it is my FIRST time there! Those advertisements about" Welcome 2 Taiwan!" really worked! XD Anyway, we bought some sweaters. I gt a green one at first but then realised that it did not match my purple jacket, so I gt a pink one eventually. I also gt a pair of new jeans!!!! :D Iris tried one of my choices which I liked bt then it did not fit her cuz her back was too small. Haha. So we went around trying to find a fitting that was good for her. Finally, we found one! :D

Then, we went to Courts. We walked around, looking at laptops that were below $1000. Haha. And my bro went around playing with the games there on the laptops. Then, we ate at Subway. :) Was quite nice. I ate terriyaki chicken sandwich. :D

Then, we proceeded to Ikea against my wishes. I did not want to go cuz I wanted to bake cookies at Iris' house. Iris and I were like walking through Ikea aimlessly. I want quite frustrated cuz we merely came to Ikea cuz "Ikea, Courts and Giant came together." So, if you go one, you must go all. LOL!!!!! In the end, Iris and I walked all the way to the exit quickly and bought hotdog bread while waiting for the others.

Finally, we went to Iris' house. We baked chocolate cookies. :D Was damn fun sia!!!!! And we watched 爱 while rushing to the kitchen to take cookies and to replenish the supplies. Haha. We were also complaining about Yixin in the movie. We were also like asking Zhenchang to hurry up die cuz he was dragging the whole movie down. Haha.

Afterwards, we went to a hawker centre somewhere at Bedok and ate. It was like 10 then. We ate BBQ stingray, kangkong, porridge, sotong, mussel and chicken wing. Soooo nice! :P Then, we went home quite reluctantly.

^Cookies that we baked!



^Oh yeah! I forgot to tell u about this incident. We went to the Ikea cafe and there was this Friends machine which allowed u to get free food if you put in your friends card. We put my auntie's expired card in to give it a try and what came out was this. Haha!


^Christmas deco


^Courts' megasale!

draw

K, I haven't been posting my drawings for quite some time. K, quite LONG. But, finally, I did. There is supposed to be one more page but then I haven't really completed it. It is all the hairstyles that I can think of. -.-
Lately, I have been drawing the shape of the person's head before drawing the hair and eyes. Then, I trace the hair and eyes, thus erasing the shape of the head. It helps cuz the heads seem more proportionate. :D I am having problems drawing legs though -.-

^Some kind of clothes to wear to work???


^Obviously a maid, that looks kinda fat.

running out

I AM OFFICIALLY RUNNING OUT OF COMICS!!!

It is a TRAGEDY!!!!

K, I am over-reacting. But then, I have depended on comics to enrich my life, entertain myself, delude myself away from the horrible reality... etc. Haha, I am DEFINITELY over-reacting. Haiz. There does not seem to be any good comics lately. One that would get me going for a week. One that would not let me be bored just after one day. -.-

I have read quite a few comics... lets see what I can recall...
  1. Vampire Knight - Publishing is slow now, so I do not really go check on it.
  2. Skip Beat! - Have finished reading current ones, waiting for new chapters.
  3. The One - Finished until around chap 60? Getting bored to death so have given up on it.
  4. Shugo Chara - Read finished current chapters. Waiting for new ones.
  5. He's Dedicated to Roses - Drawings too computerish and the story is draggy. I can also predict what is gonna happen. Nuthing interesting or new.
  6. Boarding House of Hunks - Drawing also too computerish. Story also draggy. Practically same case as "He's Dedicated to Roses".
  7. AKIRA - Really nice plot. Currently waiting for new chapters. (only found at onemanga.com)
  8. Fly High! - Getting draggy. Waiting for new chapters.
  9. D. Grayman - Story is too 'cut-up'. Not much connection between one chapter and the other. Rather watch anime of it.
  10. Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu - Story too predictable. Stopped reading quite some time ago.
  11. Kaichou wa Maid-sama! - Nice story and plot. Love it. But publishing very slow.
  12. Faster Than A Kiss - Nice plot. But I don't really feel like clicking on the latest chapters to read. Cuz the plot always revolves around the 'teacher-student relationship problem' thingy.
  13. Chocolate Cosmos - Just read finish yesterday. Quite nice. The problems that arise are always kinda un-anticipated. So it is not the normal always happy ending.
  14. Himegimi no Aikon - Very long never update. Can roughly guess where it's going with just the first few chapters.
  15. Beauty Pop - Nice story and plot. Ending not so nice though.
  16. Penguin Revolution - Nice story and plot as well. Ends too quickly though. And I kinda pity a character inside. Hahas.
  17. The Day of Revolution - Really, really good concept. But the mangaka very lazy, I guess? Ends too quickly.
  18. AAA - Started and stopped almost immediately. Can guess the ending. Stopped cuz the drawings are not proportionate.
  19. Honey Hunt - Storyline is almost the same as "Skip Beat!". Not that interesting since its the same.
  20. 7th Period is a Secret - A rather short comic. Story is also kinda predictable.
  21. Devil and Her Love Song - Nice plot. But not captivating enough. Stopped when I finished the current chapters there.
  22. Ouran High School Host Club - Finished the current chapters there. Story is getting more and more draggy. Should focus on the girl being a guy fact instead of romance.
  23. Hadashi de Bara wo Fume - Nice starting. Then, I got kinda bored and lazy of it. The plot is nice though. :)
  24. Dengeki Daisy - Nice plot. Though abit how-to-say? Er.... It is not that common yet at the same time abit common. K, abit confusing liaos.
  25. Hana to Akuma - Story abit 'cut-off'. Drawing not proportionate.
  26. Absolute Boyfriend - Finished. Checked it up due to its Korean drama series remake.
  27. Kimi no Todoke - Finished until chapter 14 bahs. Predictable and nuthing is happening -.-
  28. Gakuen Alice - Nice plot until around Chapter 110 where the time-travelling takes place. Then the story gets boring.
  29. Koukou Debut - Predictable. Stopped when the girl confesses her love and the guys accepts. Can roughly guess what happens.
  30. Special A - Story is draggy. Drawings are nice at times and others, not.
K, I shall stop here and there are somemore. But, it IS kinda endless, eh? Haha. Anyway, today at Softball training, the gals got crazy, literally. We are called the Shingzer Family. (In memory of Ris Low) I am currently the great-grandson. -.- Haha. Vernetta is my mother. LOL. Singmei is my grandma and Yunning is my great-grandfather, I think. Jalyn is my sister. XD Jingwen is my great-great-grandfather??? Nicole is the dog and Clarrissa is the tree outside the house???!!!! Haha. LOLs. XP

Oh yeah! I haven't tell you guys the marks yet.
Wait, did I tell you? k, wait I go check. XP
K, checked. I told you guys the grade, but not the overall GPA.
My GPA is 3.4/4. Thats... 85%! Which is an A+!!!! Haha. :)
My aim next year would be 3.5 or above. :D
Wish me luck and I would wish you luck too!
