Yesterday was the City Tour Learning Journey. Most of us had classes before the learning journey. So after our classes, the whole group of us headed for Simpang's meepok for lunch before heading back to school the the learning journey. Zhiying said there were at least 20 of us at Simpang. Haha.

Here are the photos (courtesy of Zhiying) of the places we went to during the learning journey:

There's the city tour learning journey tomorrow! I'm feeling kinda excited. Maybe it's because the whole of 4F is going out together as a class. We haven't have any class outings recently. So maybe that's why I'm looking forward to a 4-hour city tour. Haha.

This may seem random but I thought it was funny. Last Saturday, after coming back home from dinner at Bugis' Aji Tei, I was in a childish mood and felt like disturbing my bro & sis. So I said,“你们懂什么是 oogly 吗？”They gave me the I-don't-know looks, anticipating the answer. I said, "oogly 是 ugly." Then they gave me the Looks. I went on to irritate my bro by saying that he's oogly repeatedly(bet you didn't think I would be so childish). Suddenly, he said,“你很oogly,我很hansoom。”At first, I was thinking why my bro was speaking in a foreign language. After a moment of shock, then did I realise he meant 'handsome'. What the hell. I laughed until I couldn't shoot back.

************************
I've been watching '微笑Pasta' recently. Two classic lines from the drama which I found motivating,“只要笑一笑，没什么事清过不了”& “我只跟我自己比”。I don't know, maybe these two lines may come in handy to motivate someone or ourselves.

Yesterday was the last day of school for Term 2. Of course, it was also the day for receiving of dreaded report books and PTC.

My results are as followed:

English Language: 71.5 (A2)
Higher Chinese: 63.1 (B4)
Additional Mathematics: 51.5 (C6)
Mathematics: 62.3 (B4)
Biology: 78.4 (A1)
Chemistry: 70.4 (A2)
Combined Humanities (Social Studies & English Lit) : 67.1 (B3)
Geography: 74.6 (A2)

Percentage: 69.6
L1R5: 14
Class Position: 7/39

PTC was alright. Both my Dad & my teachers didn't have much to say so the occasional long pauses were awkward. Hahaha.

Holidays are here but there's no time to have fun. Homeworks are piled up higher than ever before, there so many remedials to attend & revisions to be done. 3 more months till Prelims. No doubt the next 3 months are going to be all work & no play.

Monday, May the 21st, was Shanmin's 16th birthday! It was also the day on which we got to be karang-gunis for a morning. To be exact, we had CIP in the morning at Simei to collected old clothes & newspaper for AHS recycling project to raise fund for charity. I believe we all had learned something new from it or tried to do something which we have not done before. Be it the giving out of fliers or the tying of ruffia strings round stacks of newspaper. Well, for me, it was both. I have never give out fliers before nor did I know what to do with a piece of ruffia string. So, I can say that it was a rather meaningful and fruitful CIP.


Right after CIP, the 12 of us girls(table-tennis,basketball & netball) headed to Pizza Hut at Tampines Mall to celebrate Shanmin's birthday. I supposed the big group of us walking together did invite some stares. Hahaha. Lunch was great. After which, we went to take some neoprints. It wasn't easy with the 11 of us (Steph went off first) trying to squeeze ourselves into one machine & getting ourselves captured in the pictures. But I've to admit it, the fun is greater than that of 2 girls taking neoprints. The endless laughters, how we tried to change positions as fast as possible before the camera went '3,2,1,flash' and how Zhiying & Kristy 'decorated' the neoprints by doing 'cosmetic surgery' on almost everyone of us.

*************************

On Tuesday, after school, Andrea,Tracy & Zhiying came over to my house for pool. Another session of laughters. Zhiying's white ball can always jump up and then roll into the pocket. Hahaha. After pool, we watched Doll Master which was a horror movie but didn't seem too much of a horror. Haha.

On Wednesday, Tracy & Zhiying came over to my house for pool.

School these few days had been really boring. The post-exam activities are nothing of our interests. We had this Career Fair today and we were made to cram in the tower hall together with the Sec 3s for nearly 3 hours to listen to people of different professions talk about their professions. It was so uncomfortable having to be confined to such a small space that you can't even stretch your legs out when your legs hurts from being folded up for so long. Beside my butt & legs hurting, my bladder felt like bursting. I regretted drinking so much water in the morning. When the whole programme finally ended, I felt like I no longer had a bladder. But I must say that Mr Benjamin Tan's & Mr Yow's skit was hilarious.

After school, went with the girls to Simpang Bedok for the famous Jalan Tua Kong Kway Teow Mee for lunch before heading home.

Okay, I heard this on radio 100.3 last night and it cracked me up. This listener, a man(most probably english-educated), called in.

DJ: 喂。你好？ (Hello. How are you?)

Listener: 我好。 (I'm fine.)

Read the words in brackets to get the idea of why it's funny. He translated from English to Chinese directly.

It shows how important bilingualism is. Without it, we'll generally be making fools out of ourselves.

MYEs ended on Tuesday after which we went to Tampines Mall to catch 200 Pounds Beauty before it goes off-screen from all cinemas islandwide. The actress's so good-looking. Kim Ah Joong's drop-dead gorgeous with a figure that most women can only dream of. And to top it all off, is Kim Ah Joong's powerful voice. She sang several songs from the movie's soundtrack. Great show, I must say. After all, any show that comes from Korea is worth watching. Not that I'm biased, but they have really good scriptwriters. And what really makes this movie outstanding, in my opinion, is that it is based on the hotly-debated & controversial topic of cosmetic surgery.

The past few days of the week had been hellacious. I've been staying up every night till unworldly hours, trying to complete studying for the exam on the next day, getting less than 4 hours of sleep per day. Studying till the wee hours is definitely not something I enjoy doing. I had to battle fatigue and the eeriness of studying alone in my room where everything else is so quiet. All it takes is the slightest sound to make me jump. Yes,I'm timid.

Caffeine was what kept me going. I've been drinking quite a lot,and all sorts,of coffee over the past few days in an attempt to keep myself awake and focused to last through the night. So much coffee that I'm afraid that I'll become a caffeine-addict. Hahaha.

Due to the lack of sleep,I have outbreaks of more pimples than usual,huge eyebags & blood-shot eyes that Tracy commented that I should get more sleep before I look like I put on thick eye makeup. But well,that's the price to pay for procrastination till the very last minute. Now I have eyebags huge enough to be shopping bags.

I slept for only 2 and a half hours yesterday night today morning. Sure,I felt like giving up at some point of time but I knew I would be dead meat for E math exam if I don't continue memorising the fomulaes & what kind of questions would be tested. So with my eyes threatening to close anytime,I had to go on. Finally,at around 2.30am,I was done with studying. I felt weird brushing my teeth in the wee hours.

E Math & Geography papers today was average. I wouldn't call them easy or difficult. But more sleep would have enabled me to remember & throw out the facts I've memorised better.

I went down to Outram right after the exams for my orthodontist appointment at NDC. It was a long wait before my turn finally came. I was so sleepy but willed myself not to fall asleep in case the queue number flashes when I doze off.

After that,I walked around the area between Outram & Chinatown. There was a lady setting up her stall on the ground and there were so many men surrounding it that I couldn't catch a glimpse of what's in the center of them. And I heard someone asking(more of scolding) the lady,"How can you sell such things here?" That's it,I don't need to see it to know what are the 'such things'. I can't be wrong.

Uncle(Mum's brother) & his family came over to our house today. Then we went for dinner in the evening at the Punggol Choon Seng Seafood near my house. Auntie really has good dress sense & a svelte figure. A thousand looks at her,you still won't believe that she's already a mother of 3. And can you believe it? We were talking about selling things(clothes,fashion) online & online auctioning,despite the age gap.

Tomorrow's my parents' 20th wedding anniversary. Fifth of May.

HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY,MUM & DAD!

Heh,I did not prepare a present because I have no money,spent them all on food. Hahaha.

***************
Ok,it's time I end this entry. I'm really really tired now.
