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. >.<

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! :)


~slack

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

last day

TODAY'S THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL.

HOORAY. ;D

But then we have a lot of homework.... Especially Chinese.
We need to read a book AGAIN. Zzz...

Yesterday was the last day of electives. SAD.
We baked hot dog bun and cupcakes :D
The icing that we put on the cupcakes got squished halfway cuz they kept falling over in the box while we were going back. :(

I went to my auntie's house yesterday after electives.
Finally got Resident Evil 1 :P I started loving the show after watching Resident Evil 2 on Channel 5.
Gonna try and see if the starhub allows us to see all the channels today. It's eve of Vesak Day after all. XD
After watching some parts of "You're Beautiful", I went with my mum, aunt and cousin to some clinic specialised in acne problems.
We queued up. The queue was CRAZY. We did not know that it was the very popular doctor so we had to wait very long. Zzz.
We ate KFC. I ate Ole Ole Box. Was VERY NICE :D I was very hungry by then too. ><
Halfway through, I suddenly realised that I haven't done my zuo wen. So I quickly went to KFC again to plan out my zuowen. Whew!
Then walked around. After waiting for 2 hours, the number was only at 13!!!!
Our number was 47. It was going to be 10pm soon already!
So in the end we left for if we were to continue to persevere, we would have to wait until 1am.
WOW.
Went home and only slept at 12 am cuz I was chionging my zuowen. Just when I was about to sleep I suddenly realised that I havent print out TKAM essay.  Another whew! >_<

Today was quite slack. I got the chinese book as mentioned above.
It's the continuation of Toto-Chan by the Window. I luvvvveeee that book! <3
The book looks hard to read but I read the first 4 pages and it was still manageable. :)
Got back our GPA and stuff.
I got 3.8!!!!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEE! :D
But my percentage only 78.83 I think...... Boohoo.
Still lost to Nicole. Her mark very pro sia. Just nice 80. haha.
Anyway, CONGRATS TO THOSE WHO SCORED HIGH MARKS AND JIAYOUS TO THOSE WHO DID NOT GET THE RESULT THAT THEY WISHED FOR! :D

Holidays, here I come! :)


~too much homework on me

elective

Hey people.

Have completed 2 lessons of electives liaos.

Baked a few stuff:
Tuna Quiche (not nice)
Fruit Bun
Viennesse Biscuits
Pizza

We did the Quiche today. It was HORRIBLE.
It looks nice but it seriously tastes gross.
To me that is.
Guess that it because there was too much peas and carrots which I seriously loathe.
The biscuits were nice to make. :D
I am proud of the biscuit in the form of "S".
There was one part when Krystal said, "Wow. What a fat 's'."
Grace was like, "What?" (cuz she broke Krystal's biscuit just now)
I was laughing cuz it sounded wrong and Grace got it wrong. HAHAHAHA.

Looking forward to tmrw, the last lesson. GAH.
Will be making hotdog bun and cupcakes :D

But I would have rather chosen real 'cooking' than baking.
Playing with a stove is much more fun than playing with a automated oven.

Went back late after doing something.
Missed my Little Nyonya interesting part!!!!!
BOOHOO.

Haven done my chi. D:
Was busy organising the CIP thingy for CVPS. Very hectic.

level camp

YES, I AM BACK. ALIVE.
haha. jkjk.
I will probably be typing about level camp stuff during this post.
Hmmm.... Got a lot of stuff to write about so I will keep it short.

Day1
Went to school. Gathered at Indoor Sports Hall.
Got our camp booklets and headed to Chai Chee Sunlove.
Got our level camp tee. The words behind just looks like a mass of dots.
Helped an elderly auntie clean her room.
Her room was actually quite clean though small.
I cleaned it with Zhenyang, Gerald, Xuhua and Yingxuan.
Think that we did a pretty good job. :)
Xuhua accidentally crushed a dead cockroach and it went 'crunch'.
Felt a bit regretful when we took the drink from the auntie as it might have been expensive to them.
Afterwards, we performed the Lemon Tree for the old folks.
Think we did quite okay lahs. Though we screwed up abit. ><
Went to the jetty. Took a bumboat. Strong wind~
Arrived at Pulau Ubin.
Pitched tents for the guys' sleeping area.
Bathing time was horrendous. The queue was crazy.
I had to wash my hair in a basin then shower in the shower area in 1 min. :(
Ate dinner, usual stuff.
Then slept with 5 other people.
I woke up every one hour. -.-

Day 2
Woke up and brushed teeth.
My shoes were wet cuz it rained last night and my shoes were outside the tent. :(
Ate breakfast in the conference room. Woohoo~
The instructors kept on telling funny jokes while we were waiting. HAHA.
Went for expedition.
Did outdoor cooking.
Starting the fire was very hard. zzz.
Maggie noodles dont really taste nice after you eat too much either.
Hot dogs are okay though.
Then, it started raining.
HEAVILY.
We had to wear ponchos and trek everywhere.....
My cap got ultra wet. D:
I was very irritated. But it was abit fun at the same time.
We FINALLY got back to the camping site.
Bathed. Crazy queues too.....
Ate dinner.
Then, did camp preperation for the performance that our groups, 3 and 4, need to do during campfire.
After that, we went for the confidence nightwalk.
I walked with Nicole and it wasn't scary. -.-
Went to sleep finally. Had difficulty though.
The end of my sleeping bag was wet and I could not stretch out my legs. grr.

Day 3
Had good news.
We were gonna sleep in chalets that day.
According to our CLASS :D
Yippee.
We did high and low elements today.
Low elements were cool. It was fun.
Learnt a lot about teamwork here.
High elements was scary.
I went up there and my legs were practically shaking like hell.
I walked on a brigde which is a few wood planks held together by a string.
Was really petrifying.
I walked too fast and tripped.
Hit near my shin. Was damn painful.
I was really scared and thought that I was going to fall off.
I heard the instructor in charge shouting, "Eh! You better get up if not I need to go up there to rescue you!"
How great.
I stood up and finally finished it shakily.
I finally falled off and completed everything.
YAY. :D
We did the rafting then.
The raft was epic fail and it sunk.
But I think that our group showed teamwork here. :)
After that, we had our campfire.
We did our dance. Was very crammed.
Was very tired near the end of the campfire.
Went back to chalet and chatted with classmates before sleeping.

Day 4
That day was EPIC.
We were supposed to wake up and get ready and wait for our teacher at 7.30am.
Guess what?
We overslept and woke up at 7.30 on the dot when the instructor came in and woke us up.
HAHAHAHAHA.
Epic sia.
We rushed and everything.
Did not even brush our teeth. Gah.
Then.... after hearing 'stories', I found it funny that we woke up late.
1. Joelle woke up early. She brushed teeth, etc. She did not know what was the time so she just lazed around. Then I said that she had a watch. She said that it was only for show and that it had actually stopped already. -.-
2. Pamela actually heard the alarm clock. She stopped it and went back to sleep. -.-
I can only laugh about it. haha.
Took the boat back to Singapore.
Ate mac's with most of the kellyxians.
Finally....
HOME SWEET HOME.

camp

Hey ppl :)

By the way, Jingwen and Yuping gave me birthday presents :D thank you to u both! ^^
Jingwen gave me a drawing. Yuping gave a card with pictures :p

Today was okay.
Kinda slack. We practically did nothing for almost all the lessons except for geog. :P

Tomorrow's the level camp.....
Haiz.... 4 days away from Singapore.
Well, the campsite is in Pulau Ubin.
Quite far away and I think that theres no network there.
SAD.
I am kinda looking forward and yet not at the same time...
Especially after thinking of all the hardships that I will have to go through!
And 3 performances to do!
GAH.
But I am looking forward to the games and fun!
It has been like around 3 years since my last camp after all. :)
I have to bring like luggages around tmrw! D:
Well, good bye people and wish me luck!

how great.

TESTS HAVE FINALLY FINISHED!

I did my speech today. Today was actually kinda slack.
but......

Ms Kheng changed our seats.....

and.......

I am sitting with Valen.


How great.

Gahhhhhhh. D:
But actually he was quite okay today lahs.
Except for the fact that he keeps asking me for answers!
zzzz.....

Sitting with him for one term......
zzzzzzzz......

Anyway, my grades are okay. In fact great 8D
If my Chinese get A, then my GPA will be 3.8 if I am not wrong.
hehe. :P
By the way, heres a very shuai guy from the comic, "Reimei No Arcana" :D
Hes called Loki and hes a half-beast half-human.
He has some kind of symbol on the left side of his face which is cool :D
