Reflections
I have no mood to do the normal recap again.Sometimes, i would fall into this reflective mood and have the urge to reflect on things that have happened.I would take this opportunity to reflect on Mrs Lee's journal article that i didnt get to do that day.
Sometimes, new ways of doing things are not always welcomed.They are viewed with a skeptic perspective and questioning mind.Why?People are used to things.People are not used to changes.People dont like changes, especially oustanding ones.Mrs Lee touched on this topic during her sharings about Beethovan's symphony No.9 and how it was so different from the music back then that it was viewed as an insult and queer type of music.But look at what happening now, it's one of Beethoven's most celebrated piece of work.I think this is really true.Changes are what people really dont like.They get used to listen, to see, to do things in certain ways and they stick to it.They don't welcome changes.And that is difficult for anyone who wants a break through and is inspired to be different.It takes courage I think.One good example, again brought up by Mrs Lee, was our school's launch of M-learning using tablet pcs.There were negatives opinions and people even wrote to the papers.yeah yeah...even Ming Wei finds it so new that it doesnt excite him.But the school did it only after thorough research and consultations and they believe its the best of the students.When you take a bold step forward, you have to be just as brave to face the diverse opinions and advices,regardless good or bad.Who knows what is at the end of the road?Our school may be really famous for it just like Beethoven.Who can predict the future?God.yeah...and God doesnt review his answer either.
The second topic she talked about, the more connecting topic with the students,"dare to be different and stand up to all expectations and standards".I find myself being challenged.I find myself seeing meaning in this long journey called education.We are all in school for education but maybe that is not all we are there for.School is a place where talents can blossom, and where each of us can prove to people and ourselves that we can do whatever we aim for as long as we have faith and determination.It is a place for challenges with one another, challenges with ourselves. Sometimes, so many things that surround us blur the vision of our ultimate goals, the small obstacles we face make the road seem more rocky than it is, and we find ourselves at the lowest point of the journey.But in those difficult times that we have be brave and pick ourselves up, we have to realise we are not alone.We have to believe that we are still fighting because we have so much faith in what we are doing.We have to believe. It's always easier said than done i know, but what if the things we said CAN be done?For the personal part of it,I'm facing mountains here.I want so much, so so much to be part of the IB programme but I know the road is so long I have no idea how rocky it can be.But I'm not afraid of the road.I'm only afraid of the discouraging thoughts, the distracting views(friends who have chosen IPs) that might steer me away from the directed path.May God above have mercy and understanding.May He sees my greatest wish and help me to achieve it.I can only depend on Him and myself.Sometimes, you dont know how lonely you are.
I have faith,I have hope,I have love, I have God.

Tranquility
I hate the main blogger.I'm blogging via the instant blogging bar but I really dont know what happened to my account..the main one.And I'm the only one having the problem I think.Oh well...f**k..
I shall do some recap in which i will also do some reflections.
On friday we celebrated Teachers' day in french class.It turned out that Kavia bought 2 cakes instead of one so we ate one and gave Monsieur the smaller one.The mango cake was really nice though.I love mango cake!!!Everyone had a bite of the cake,some had 2 bites cos there were extra and everyone had a good big piece too since there were only 20 of us.Then we proceeded to the auditorium to watch a movie called "the visitors".HAHA...super cool movie, super funny.its basically these 2 guys(one king and his servant) were transported to the future time.So they did a lot of weird things.It was really funny though.Monsieur skipped quite a lot cos we didnt have a lot of time but still, we didnt miss much.That was really a good french "lesson". haha. (oh ya for your info, it was in english with french subtitles but nobody read the subtitles haha)
So on Saturday(which is yesterday) we performed for ADD.I thought we did better than the practice we had before on thursday.i guess everyone just really tried very hard like Ms Tham said.But yeah, the PAT was quite full, unlike what i expected but still, a lot of room for improvements as Jing Wen aptly put it.Oh yes, I'm happy on the whole.We didnt make major mistakes and we sailed through the first few songs.And best of all, no practices next week!
The rest of ADD was quite disappointing I guess.Its definitely not as good as last year.The fair is not as many as last year and performances and talks were not so packed.I think without Mrs Clara Tan, it really sux.But in contrast with last year, so many of my friends turned up.They went there basically just to look at the school, have the school tour, looked around a bit and left.Justin's visit was really short.I slept through the ethnomusicology talk cos I was too tired.Bo chao did the same.But the dance marathon was cool haha.I had to leave half way though cos Sheila was coming but oh well, I didnt miss much.I enjoyed it though, its like some hip hop classes I used to take before.Cool..
Hmm Sheila and her friend and Michelle came at 3 so i left the dance marathon thing to meet her.I showed her around and then we left for church.Was pretty on time even though i thought i couldnt make it.Church was kinda cool...toolkits performances.The drama thing was cool haha and guitar was quite..ahem..funny??Yeah..but basically thats about it.Then later I went to buy chocs for teacher's day with Mel at SP.The worst thing happened was that the 111 bus broke down and we had to change bus which makes me miss part of the synchronised swimming.It was really good though...russia was brilliant.
Welll..basically thats about it haha.This post is supposedly posted yesterday but i didnt find time to finish it so here I am on Monday blue finishing it.I shall do today's recap later.Oh well, there goes my chance for reflection.Okie...reflection shall be later??Cya ppl...

Everything to me
Choir
Have we done enough?
Have we practise hard ?
Have we already tried our best?
Honestly, I dont know the answers to them questions
I feel like we've been fighting fate, but fate is winning all the time
What happened today??
Whatever happened???
When will that perfect performance be ours?
I dont know,i have not a clue.
Whatever it is guys, this sat is the only chance we've got
We NEED it
We need to prove ourselves
We need to prove Ms Tham wrong...
Maybe we can turn over fate and be better?
I have faith
Okie, as i promised, a bit of recap of the past few days.
I had Asean stories meeting/briefing on wednesday(yesterday) and we are now starting the project.Okie, let me tell you what Asean stories is about.Its basically a project that requires us to gather stories/ folktales, poetry and myths and legends from all the Asean countries.We dont really write them.We gather them and edit them, add pictures, recorded voice version, links and compile into a website which will be the end-product. There are 2 teams now.One is the editting team while the other is the IT team which is in charge of the webpage uploading, design and stuff that is IT related. I'm on this team with Tania, 1 other girl in NUS and 2 guys from ITE and NUS.Me and Tania is supposed to come up with the design soon.We already got our ideas figured out so the difficult part now is to put them into works.Also, we meet the girl which is also the chairman every monday to discuss and work on it.
To me, this will be more work but i think its exciting and after all, it can look really good in my portfolio. Also, we would have fun and this sense of achievement that we have accomplished something by the end of the day.It involves only our school but other schools will contribute stories.
Thats Wednesday.Today, man...today couldnt be more slack than it had been.My jap group was supposed to present our project to these Asean visitors.So we were excused from mass run and went to the lab at around 7.30.We were there for basically 3 hours,doing pretty much nothing.The visitors only came at around 11 and their visit was really short.But I think we did a good job cos most of them seemed to enjoy themselves and were impressed with our project in general.After that we had lunch and went back to class.Slacked,stoned and slept in class for the next 1 hour cos apparently Ms Goh was involved in the visit.So today went by without any lessons man...first time ever cos its like term time??
I dont want to elaborate on Choir today.It would just make me feel worse.It would make me lose my optimism.So I shall let today be today and moved on from here.
I would like to post this poem again here as ADD comes closer.I would ask all choir members to read them this time though.They NEED to read it.
When the music plays on
Sing that song with your heart
Sing as if there's no tomorrow Bring that song fort
Like it's the music of your soul
Do you regret those moments you screwed?
Do you REALLY want to to make up For whats lost?
Have we ever really done well?
Do I have an answer? No
The time is here
I can feel the atmosphere
I can sense that nervousness in your voice
Dont give up dearie
Victory is near
If we hold on
If we never let go
No one can take it from us
The stage is where we belong
The stage is for us alone
Bring fort that song
The song of our spirits
Look to this day!
For today well-lived
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
New every morning is the love
Our waking and up rising proves
Through darkness and sleep
Restored to life in power and thought...
You whose day it is makes it beautiful
You whose song it is makes it wonderful
You whose spirit it is let it rise above
You whose voice it is bring them forward
One chance
One hope
One dream
Together
We will get there.
The poem above is dedicated to dear dearest Crescent Choir.

Hey there peepz
I just came back from school from another taxing choir practice.But at least it didnt feel so worn-out like last thursday pract.Today Ms Tham decided to go through most of the pieces.We went through five of them,fixing them here and there but no truly major problems la.We are not THAT ready, but at a certain degree, we are.I'm inviting a lot of youth leaders man.I didnt really invite but they found out about it and are interested to come.I'm happy.Thanks everyone for your support!!!
School today was fine.I was particularly inspired by the journal reflection for the month by Mrs Lee.I would like to quote her "i would like to challenge Crescentians to rise against all odds and expectations to achieve what your goals." Challenge accepted, Mrs Lee. I feel really aspired by that.Maybe thats the only time of the many times that she managed to inspire me.All of us will go through some adversities in our lives but we have to overcome them to achieve our goals, our ultimate goals.This reminds me of my goal to go to ACS IB after my o levels.I feel like i'm againts a heck lot of obstacles but..hey theres a will theres a way right? I'm willing to put my everything into this bet.May God be my witness.
This song currently describes all my feelings.
Fly ( hilary duff)
In a moment
Everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulder
For a minute
All the world can wait
Let go of your yesterday
Can you hear it calling
Can you feel it in your soul
Can you trust this longing
And take control
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
Cuz it's your time
Time to fly
All your worries
Leave them somewhere else
Find a dream you can follow
Reach for something
When there's nothing left
And the world's feeling hollow
Can you hear it calling
Can you feel it in your soul
Can you trust this longing
And take control
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
Cuz its your time
Time to fly
And when you're down and feelin low
Just wanna run away
Trust yourself and don't give up
You know you're better than anyone else
In a moment
Everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulder
For a minute
All the world can wait
Let go of yesterday
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
Fly
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life

Post-exam moods
Hey there
it's been awhile again since I blogged.I just sort of lost this "passion" for blogging day by day like I used to.Although my thoughts sometimes run free and I want to capture them all, I seem to unable to.Oh well, at least I do recaps right?And for the second thought, does anyone even read this blog in the first place?It seems just a place for me to express myself,something I cant do very well verbally.I also enjoy expressing my feelings with words and poems.
Last week was taxing with the common tests and choir practices.Since we didnt practise for quite sometime, last thursday practice was really tiring.I felt like dozing off at the end of it.I was not even bothered to take down notes that Ms Tham was teaching us.I've never felt like I have put so much energy into one practice before. So today, we had a 4 hours rehearsal again.It was again taxing, plus the fact that my stomach was whacking me with the mens pain.Thats also the reason why my legs are always aching now.
For today, i dont feel like recapping anything from yesterday and today.For this entry, it would just be emotions and feelings.
Oh well last week i seaped into this post-exam mood and refused to do all the homework given.So after this week , i will have to double the work and continue the run.I wonder when this rat race will end?But the question is, do you have to participate?Do I have to be one of the racers? Yeah... i know I dont have to but I cant help being part of it all. There is this eternal surge in me to excel.A fighting spirit that i cant seem to get rid of.Its always there and even when it seems to go away, it never failed to return.Sometimes,I asked myself, do all those grades really matter so much? I never can really answer this.Part of me trying to deny that it does but where is the proof?Anyone who knows me would tell me that I'm never satisfied with being 2nd best.I never allowed myself to fail.
I thank God for this driven spirit to always strive for the best but I also want to pray to Him that He will use His divine wisdom to guide me and let me use this tool the right way, His way. You know sometimes when i look into the future, i wonder if I will remember all those small successes along my learning journey and whether they will really matter then.Yet that doesnt stop me from going for the As and being the best.Its funny sometimes to realise that you cant seem to change something that has always been part of you no matter how hard you try.
The following song is one that i really enjoy at this moment.Try to download it.its old i know but its really nice.Enjoy!
Someday
Michael learns to rock
In my search for freedom
and peace of mind
I've left the memories behind
Wanna start a new life
but it seems to be rather absurd
when I know the truth
is that I always think of you
Chorus:
Someday someway
together we will be baby
I will take and you will take your time
We'll wait for our fate
cos' nobody owns us baby
We can shake we can shake the rock
Try to throw the picture out of my mind
try to leave the memories behind
Here by the ocean
wave's carry voices from you
Do you know the truth
I am thinking of you too
Chorus:
Someday someway
together we will be baby...
The love we had together
just fades away in time
And now you've got your own world
and I guess I've got mine
But the passion that you planted
in the middle of my heart
is a passion that will never stop

Oh well last week i seaped into this post-exam mood and refused to do all the homework given.So after this week , i will have to double the work and continue the run.I wonder when this rat race will end?But the question is, do you have to participate?Do I have to be one of the racers? Yeah... i know I dont have to but I cant help being part of it all. There is this eternal surge in me to excel.A fighting spirit that i cant seem to get rid of.Its always there and even when it seems to go away, it never failed to return.Sometimes,I asked myself, do all those grades really matter so much? I never can really answer this.Part of me trying to deny that it does but where is the proof?Anyone who knows me would tell me that I'm never satisfied with being 2nd best.I never allowed myself to fail.
I thank God for this driven spirit to always strive for the best but I also want to pray to Him that He will use His divine wisdom to guide me and let me use this tool the right way, His way. You know sometimes when i look into the future, i wonder if I will remember all those small successes along my learning journey and whether they will really matter then.Yet that doesnt stop me from going for the As and being the best.Its funny sometimes to realise that you cant seem to change something that has always been part of you no matter how hard you try.
The following song is one that i really enjoy at this moment.Try to download it.its old i know but its really nice.Enjoy!
Someday
Michael learns to rock
In my search for freedom
and peace of mind
I've left the memories behind
Wanna start a new life
but it seems to be rather absurd
when I know the truth
is that I always think of you
Chorus:
Someday someway
together we will be baby
I will take and you will take your time
We'll wait for our fate
cos' nobody owns us baby
We can shake we can shake the rock
Try to throw the picture out of my mind
try to leave the memories behind
Here by the ocean
wave's carry voices from you
Do you know the truth
I am thinking of you too
Chorus:
Someday someway
together we will be baby...
The love we had together
just fades away in time
And now you've got your own world
and I guess I've got mine
But the passion that you planted
in the middle of my heart
is a passion that will never stop

I love french class!!
I thought it was over, baby.
We said our goodbyes.
But I can't go a day without your face going through my mind.
In fact, not a single minutepasses without you in it.
Your voice, your touch.
Memories of your love are with me all of the time.
Let me let go, baby.Let me let go.
If this is for the best why are you still in my heart,
are you still in my soul?
Let me let go.
Today is the last day of common tests and both papers had gone well for me.I must say that for once I came out of the exam room of D &T happy and relieved.I had managed to answer almost all questions and the drawings were doable enough.
Maths was quite ok..easier than I thought it would be and i did well too.I must say that also for once, i felt confident that i will do well, much better than the last disastrous common tests. Then, oh well, we had our lit test back and hell yeah, its bad news.I got a B, just scraping a B actually.I must really be more careful the next time cos it left out the whole stanza and therefore forgoing my chance of an A1. I must really go practise unseen prose.It seems like each time i face it, i screw it up every time.
Okie, then we had this really short "assembly in class" when Ms Tan was angry for nothing cos she thought some of them had left school earlier when there were no teachers but it turned out everyone,except for those who had special permisson was in class. Couldnt stay back to help Tania but i had good valid reason anyway.Then later I accompanied Waritta to collect her phone after servicing at wheelock place.We waited for a darn long time, all because of our ignorance not to read the notice at the counter probably.We left that place only after about 30 mins of waiting.We went to yoshinoya after that for lunch, both stomaches growling with hunger lol.I ordered salmon and chicken set whilst war got herself salmon bowl.I ate with supreme speed lol,not to mention a lot because I finished everything in the huge plate, feeling very satisfied afterwards, hehe.
We finished lunch at 3.Thinking that we still had a lot of time to spare, we made our way to kinoyunia to check out some books.War bought a book and I bought the teenage magazine which i had seen esh with earlier on in school. We left for french at 3.30 and reached the center at about 4.
Oh well the first part of french class went by pretty uneventful.Only during recess, the boys were playing with the new hp and then mr chan was "encouraged" and he showed off his new hp,damn cool ok..it looks like a vid cam.Then he was videoing us and we all turned away..haha.He then went to play with the boys' hp.
Oh yah before this, during the first half, I was discussing with anna and war about teachers'day celebration for monsieur.So at first,anna was thinking about buying him a monkey's toy,lol.So yeah..later during recess i went to shakura and asked her.She came up with an even better idea of ordering a cake with a monkey on it hahaha.So yeah after recess ended, they were passing around this paper asking everyone to write down their names if they want to contribute.Surprising, all the boys(one of the even wrote Paul's name down) agreed on this.
Disaster 1: john and timontheos was looking at the paper when it FLEW DOWN lol...and john was scrambling to get it.LOL.Everyone was laughing man...and we went "ooohhh" but luckily, john was quick enough and mr chan did not know anything.
disaster 2: everyone finished passing it around and they were trying to pass it back from dtilshad to shakura.when it reached me and war we decided to toss it across to shakura and shakura was like..nodding her head when monsieur turned away.So war tossed it and it landed IN THE MIDDLE of the class!!LOL.Monsieur turned around when a loud scream was let out by all of us.He quickly picked up the paper(which was now folded) and smiled to himself.He was opening it when the whole class went "OOH NOOO...MONSIEUR NOOO"When he was opening it,I dunno what got in me but I burst out of my seat and ran up and SNATCHED the paper from him just in time, resulting in thundering applause from the gals.LOLOL *take a bow* =D
so yah...we all burst out laughing like mad haha...but monsieur didnt managed to read it but I think he already guessed it liao...pretty obvious I guess.anywayz...waritta couldnt help laughing and it was only a long while later that she completely stopped laughing.LOL.
haha..for once we are so united, regardless of guys and gals.Sometimes that hidden spirit that I believe has always been there is shown.Guys..let's give monsieur one of his most memorable teachers' day!
Hey,what can i say, i love my french class!

Update!
Wowee..what a long time I didnt blog huh?
I've been pretty busy the last few days and thus failed to update.I guess I'll just try to squeeze eveything inside this entry.
Monday(national day)
I went to church at about 10.45 and then was transported to Zion Full Gospel church at about 11.15.So initially all the youths in our church were sitting together and the zion together.Then one of the youth leader from zion asked us to mix up so that we could know each other better.It was a good call cos during the 15 mins long worship, the difference btw the 2 youth groups was obvious.The Zion youths are really passionate and open about their passion for worship.They were raising their hands,clapping and all sorts of praise-actions while we from queenstown just stood there motionless. If we have not mixed up, the scene would have been very odd then.
Then we had ice-breaker for 10 mins in which I had to hold hands with a guy!LOL..i was kinda shy but he took my hand anyway and we were playing this pretty spastic game called "husband and wife".We had fun though and yeah..after that we were briefed and at about 1.10,we set out to our different locations. I was teamed up with a sec 3 girl called Vanessa the team leader and the other sec 1 girl who looked very mature lol. Anyway, we met Samuel at Bugis later and we were sharing with a lot of ppl by the time we decided to take a break at Moss burger.There we met Uncle Bill and i ate my lunch.So later we joined group with grp 12 cos they had too few ppl.The whole afternoon was quite fruitful with us having 3 professed and 1 assured.I was the one who did the assured.Her name is Germaine and guiltily I have not been praying about her.i should cos I would be the one guiding her through our youth group I guess. We had a lot of fun too haha.I think it was very a worthwhile afternoon and at 5.15, we reported back to have dinner.
The sharing was hilarious and touching as well I think.Clement...hahaha...i was still laughing about it the next day.I cant describe it here but lol..its just hilarious.For those who were there, you know what I mean :) Oh yah..we won a prize!!!Van you rock!!LOL. the prize is this shoe keychain thing which is cute and now its hung on my bag =D So after that was worship and basically it wrapped up the event.I hope next year something like this would be organised again.I'm inspired and aspired by fellow youths from zion as well as the ppl we approached. Although i missed the parade, it was one of the best national day so far!
I shall skip tuesday since I blogged on tuesday.
Wednesday
Wednesday is always highly anticipated by me because of previously 1(now 2) reasons :Singapore(American earlier) Idol and Amazing Race. Nothing happened much on wed except for these 2 things.Oh yah..we had lit extra lesson after school and i was like..so on lol.First time I was ever so on about lit.i suppose its because of the fact that i'm much better at it this year(or more specifically, this semester).Well SI was hilarious as usual I guess.But there's this guy who lost his father prior to the day he went for the audition and he sang Solitaire, a song so aptly desbribed his father.I guess all audience and the judges were impressed with his voice and inspired by his performance.I suppose when you sing from the heart, your voice just let it flow and somehow, it reaches the audience far better than you ever can imagine.Something I'm inspired to do in choir.
Thursday
Nothing eventful happened in school except for Nandhu vomitting(so I heard) and had to go home after mass run. Hayzz..mass run was tiring i guess.Although i said that it has now well been a part of my school life and a routine, its still tiring and i would still cheer if its cancelled. After that we had PE which wasnt that tiring for me cos i volunteered to be the catcher, a position in which you can just slack unless the ball is near. I guess Shu Zhen was quite pissed at me for not able to catch the ball but hey, i tried my best and its not like i wasnt trying to catch.I dont know who won in the end(its not important anyway) but i guess all of us kinda had fun. So during science, we got back our science test and i was so disappointed with my marks.I'm just like...gone is my science and triple science hope.Hayzz...I sincerely dont think how i can ever get into triple science with the grades I'm making.I think i shall take chem and physics with pure geo and elective lit.yepz..thats my choice.I think its also coincidentally ming wei's combination.
After science, i rushed to french and only reached there just in time.Some stupid bus changed route and i had to walk there,wasting 45 cents....basket.Anyway...french common test was fine..I thought it was quite easy except for the listening as usual.I always seem to screw that part up.And I got hinted by mr chan twice.Thanks, Mr Chan!But i could have spotted the mistakes when i was doing my rounds of checking anyway...just that he was there to notice the mistake right there and then. My compo was satisfying in my opinions.I went over by 2 words but i dont think he will be so mean to minus mark for that.I guess the vocab i used was quite variable and wide too so I hope i scored well. After french i was so tired i couldnt much but just to slack in front of the comp.Later at night, my family and i gathered around the tv to watch the swearing-in of the new PM and Cabinet.Quite interesting since I have never seen one before.And YAY,MRS LIM HWEE HUA, a CRESCENTIAN is one of the 2 ONLY woman ministers of state in the cabinet.WAY TO GO, MRS LIM! Later on i mugged on lit and went to bed quite early yet i woke up late this morning :S How ironic.
TODAY
Today is common tests of course.English was ok but i was sure i wrote crap for the last question of the passage 1. I thought(and most of the gals agreed) that the summary was quite easy. Then we had self-study and later lit exam.Lit was like..easy for once.I just scribbled from the start to finish and yet didnt managed to finish my last sentence but I dont think many marks would be deducted.I'm only scared that since I didnt talk about similarities, i might be marked down for it.Sighz..i just have to wait i guess.
Im still so tired now.My head is still spinning a bit.I guess i made the right choice of going for french controle yesterday instead of today.Although there will be rest, it just prolongs the time.I'll rather get over and done with it.Now I can relax and blog abit.
Wowee..thats quite an entry there.I hope i didnt bore you with the details but i have already omitted out much and only mentioned the worthy news.I guess i shall be more regular after common test.for now, so long everybody!

Home alone
Hey there
Today is post-national day.I didnt go out.Ok, I did but only for half an hour and only as far as Tiong Bahru to buy history assessment book.However, i passed by the sports store and bought this irresistable kappa tee.It's really unique I think, both in materials and design.And it's incredibly cheap at $12.90 so I guess it was a worth buy.
Since the time i returned, i have been trying to study history without much success.Although these 2 chapters have been tested and given worksheets over and over again, i still find myself lacking in knowledge in some parts.Time to reinforce. I have decided to ignore chaoter 6 for now because I dont think it will be tested regarding to the fact that the teacher did not even teach it properly.But one thing worries me: chapter 5 was tested so might not come out.The possibilites lie in chapter 4 and 6.Oh well, i hate playing lucky number so shall resort to study all. I think Ive been QUITE productive for the day.I managed to finish Lit(totally 4 chaps) and almost memorises everything in the notes.I think i shall do quite well. I also managed to finish studying D&T without much difficulties in 30 mins.I didnt practise maths because i run out of materials to practise lol.Hayzz..i hope i do well in this CT.better than last term anywayz.Oh wellz,I have covered 3 subjects till this point?I still have quite a lot of time left in the afernoon and night.i think I can definitely cover french vocab and revise the grammar points, finish history notes, and myabe, just maybe, do a comprehension(or rather finish the one I was doing).
I'll give recaps laterz.Now I wanna watch iron chef :)

Happy National day!
Hey there peepz
As the title said, happy national day to all!I hope you all have a good rest and enjoy the parade later.I'm going to miss it due to street evangualism later but i can always watch encore telecast so no worries there.
I'm very pissed man.Yesterday I was typing such a long entry and realised that my sister had shut down the comp without saving it for me.Now i'm retyping the whole thing.Not exactly retype but just a bit of the info on sat and sun.
Sat,I had choir practice in the morning. i woke up promptly at 7.30 and left the house by 8 with my cd player, wallet, notebook and choir file.Had 3 hours cruelling practice of which most is sectionals.I dont like sectionals should I mention cos I find it most of the time tedious and very boring with not much work done in the end. Oh wellz..the fact that we were singing daisies pied made up for it.Its too nice a song and I love it!!
Then i went to church later for a briefing on today's street e. The meeting was pathetic by all standards cos so few ppl turned up and we did nothing much except for reviewing the outlines and praying. I'll be with Sam Zou and 3 other Zion ppl for this street e.I'm going to bugis so its not that bad I think.At least bugis is better than JE?And its more crowded too so hopefully we can meet more ppl. I'm all ready to win souls for christ :)
Yesteday was church as usual.The sermon was on Love and therefore caught my attention as well as attentiveness.I even wrote down notes. And i noticed that dad didnt fall asleep lol. The sermon for the kids is always so funny.lol.Kids are really kids, so cute.
After lunch I drawed up a schedule for myself but failed miserably to carry it out.I got most of lit done though and very happie with that cos its a killer subject for many people. Also, i managed to memorise most of the french stuff for clothings and housing. Happy with that too.Also did a few sums on indices and had no problems with most of them.However, i would not call myself very productive cos I kept coming to the computer whilst doing work.
I was basically reading this teacher called Alvin Tan from ACSI's blog.Interesting account.I read from the day he just came into acs till now.Some of the stuff related to school is interesting but most of other stuff I have no idea what he was talkin about.
Oh well basically thats it for past 2 days.Today is exciting I think.I'm looking forward to the whole street e thing.I'm also refusing to study in the morning cos I can never concentrate well.So shall do it at night studying on science and D&T.
I'm listening to a Vietnamese song right now.Honestly,its been ages since I listened to one and this one is not that bad. Its sad...oh wellz.
Okie..christine saying au revoir.
PS:whos going for the parade?

After lunch I drawed up a schedule for myself but failed miserably to carry it out.I got most of lit done though and very happie with that cos its a killer subject for many people. Also, i managed to memorise most of the french stuff for clothings and housing. Happy with that too.Also did a few sums on indices and had no problems with most of them.However, i would not call myself very productive cos I kept coming to the computer whilst doing work.
I was basically reading this teacher called Alvin Tan from ACSI's blog.Interesting account.I read from the day he just came into acs till now.Some of the stuff related to school is interesting but most of other stuff I have no idea what he was talkin about.
Oh well basically thats it for past 2 days.Today is exciting I think.I'm looking forward to the whole street e thing.I'm also refusing to study in the morning cos I can never concentrate well.So shall do it at night studying on science and D&T.
I'm listening to a Vietnamese song right now.Honestly,its been ages since I listened to one and this one is not that bad. Its sad...oh wellz.
Okie..christine saying au revoir.

Home sweet home...on the net!
Wowee...
Finally the new blog is up and on.I have finally decided to move to a new add due to my other intentions with the old blog.Its no longer active so don't bother checking back ppl.
A few notes on this new blog is...
I shall use proper english and write in proper sentences.Although it takes much more time to do so, i believe its one way to help me in my composition writing.All the more, it helps readers(if there is any) to understand what i'm trying to convey much better too.
Thats about it.Welcome ppl!It still need major change and improvement but give me time and i shall fix it by this weekend.Yepz..
