Heys I've moved.

STOP.TURN.WALK.bs

Don't ever come back here once you leave(:
I'm leaving my past behind.
goodbye!

2009-06-05T09:57:00.005+08:00

Encore is over.
The performers have danced, sang, acted.
okay fine I shall stop the analogy lol.

Feeling achy all over.
Especially my hands, neck, back.
But I guess this was worth it all.

Started off with a few mass changes which we kept on guoshi-ing.
Camp D part 1 was okay.
Outdoor cooking lol we took quite long to get our fire going.
Camp D part 2 was whoo!
We finished quite quickly :D
OJ was cool too, when yiting, weixin, sweeyee came back from bsp, and we had a sudden burst of encouragement!
KYEB.
Know Ourselves Even Better.

At the very end, all of us just huddled together and cried after break off.
I didn't expect that ending.
But I really felt so comfortable like that.
I truly felt the bond connecting all of us.
Some of us cried on one another's shoulders, some of us just hugged like they would never let go.
Never ever let go.
That is what we will do.
Never let go of one another.
Hold one another tightly, never letting anything make us let go of one another's hands.
Never let go of one another forever.
That's what a 届 is for.
To chiong homework with.
To celebrate birthdays with.
To talk crap and les/gay with.
To tease.
To eat recess and lunch with.
Even dinners after jihe.
All those are surface stuff.
What a 届 is really for.
To cheer one another on.
To push you on when you feel like giving up.
To lighten your burden.
To share your joy and sorrow.
To protect one another.
To let you know that they'll be there always.
Even when you think you don't need them.
But, you know you want them.

our届allFourOne.
All for one.
All 4 1.
41st batch.
Though the seniors were disappointed, they didn't give up on us totally.
They were still holding on to that little speck, little ray of hope for us.
They said that the fact that we are improving shows that we haven't reached out fullest potential.
And cheered us on.
We felt sad for disappointing the seniors, and more so, disappointing one another and ourselves):
But that crying session comforted one another.
This was the first time we had such a massive huddling, other than passing downs.
41st Batch I love you guys!
Let's jiayous for our paths ahead and go through thick and thin together(:
Even if we get looked down upon, mocked by other ccas, we know ourselves best :D
We know that we'll stay together forever and never ever let go(:

Kay on a lighter/heavier note, ms ngau gave us the term 3 and 4 schedule after break off.
Just when all of us regained composure and dried our tears.
First thing I saw on the schedule was (insert suitable word)
And I felt like crying again.
But duh I held back my tears.
Didn't want to look like an idiot there.
hah.

I had a dream on wednesday night that (insert suitable word) wasn't overnight.
And I woke up sweating all over.
Cos in the dream a few of us were fighting for overnight but it didn't work.
But I told myself that dreams are usually opposites of what is in the real world.
And so, it IS overnight yay :D
We shall make it a night to remember.
and I'll put 10000000000x more effort than I did in sec1.

2009-06-03T17:21:00.003+08:00

That's p5 and p6's xdx.
That colourful cabinet which contains all our necessities for jihes.
That colourful cabinet which has encountered countless times of banging from Xintian and I in our continuous attempts to close it when it just wouldn't close lol.
Xintian and I were the xdx guardians from 3rd July 2008 to 29th May 2009.
Now we have passed the keys to Anyi and Chunyen :D

I promised to take a picture with the xdx lol.

P6's 41st batch ex-QM and 42nd batch QM.
haha.

Chun Yen having the feel of opening the xdx for the first time.

Gah.
Omg why does this sound like I'm passing down?
Well technically I am.
Guess I've had feelings with the xdx after this period of time watching over it lol.

P6 sec2s came in to the tuanbu to take some photos for their project.
That's how all these pics came about :D
Xintian, let's take a picture together with our xdx some day soon! :D

Time flies luh.
I have been there for 2 1/2 years, in the patrol that watched me grow up ever since that very first day when we sat in the tanjong rhu campus parade square, the start of my journey.
And at the same time, I have watched my cute cute juniors grow up too(:
I remembered last year when all 5 of them dao-ed Cheng Yee, Sally and I when we met up with them to tell them about some li jie.
that was at the grandstand of tanjong rhu campus.
that feeling was super awkward, the sec2s were doing the talking while the sec1s stared blankly.
The sec2s were scared and terrified lol.
and now our sec1s have become sec2s, and they have become a bunch of hyperactive energy bunnies that never fail to brighten up the seniors' day(:
haha our sec1s are starting to get some hyper-ness from the sec2s lol.
and I have watched p6 sec4s grow up too(:
seen how Kimberley used to get 'bullied', exactly like how Zishan is now lol.
seen how Zhen Ling and Pearlyn became funnier and louder, from that quiet impression they gave all of us.
seen a different side of them after their pltc 08.

Love p6 :D

2009-06-02T21:07:00.003+08:00

The rehearsals were productive.
The props have been prepared.
The lightings switch at the perfect timing.
The actors aka the chorus have drunk lots of honey to soothe their throats.
Let's hope this encore would be our best performance ever(:

anyway just wanna say that the library rocks lol.
It contains an archive of all the yearbooks accumulated over the years.
1979, 1985, you name it, they have it.
I think the 2006 one is the funniest can!!!!!!!
All our sec4 seniors' photos when they were sec1.
So cute!
Some of them didn't change much, some of them changed ALOT.
They became prettier :D
and claire's "ting3 xiong1" guy changed alot too!
LOL.

Me: (points to a certain face) Eh claire isn't this (insert suitable name)? It is right?!
Claire: omg really?! no luh!
Michelle: It is lah! omg hahahaha!
Claire: OMG hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!! (bursts out into loud laughter)

LOL.
Yearbooks always serve as a source of entertainment.
Especially when it contains past photos of people you know.
haha.

Phantom Of The Opera - Masquerade

Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade
Masquerade!
Hide your face, so the world will never find you!
Masquerade!
Every face a different shade
Masquerade!
Look around - there's another mask behind you!
Flash of mauve
Splash of puce
Fool and king
Ghoul and goose
Green and black
Queen and priest
Trace of rouge
Face of beast
Faces!
Take your turn, take a ride
on the merry-go-round in an inhuman race
Eye of gold
Thigh of blue
True is false
Who is who?
Curl of lip
Swirl of gown
Ace of hearts
Face of clown
Faces!
Drink it in, drink it up,
till you've drowned in the light, in the sound
But who can name the face?
Masquerade!
Grinning yellows, spinning reds
Masquerade!
Take your fill - let the spectacle astound you!
Masquerade!
Burning glances, turning heads
Masquerade!
Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you!
Masquerade!
Seething shadows breathing lies
Masquerade!
You can fool any friend who ever knew you!
Masquerade!
Leering satyrs, peering eyes
Masquerade!
Run and hide - but a face will still pursue you!

The world is a masquerade.
Facades.
Masks.
We are merely actors on the stage.
Wearing masks that hide our true self.
But one day, my friend, your show will be over.
Take it off mann.
Your mask is dead.
But your face is alive.
And your so is your heart.

2009-05-30T21:06:00.009+08:00

Got back my report book on friday.
3.47 :DDDDDDD
yeah I know I know.
I'm one of the lowest in 3J right?
I DON'T CARE :D
3J is a smart class.
I am not as smart as them.
So I shouldn't feel demoralised that I'm one of the lowest.
At least I did put in effort.
I should spend some time during the holidays rewarding myself :D

We had patrol pdp before jihe on friday too.
When I hugged chunyen and zishan, I really felt like crying.
almost.
omg why?
it's not even the real thing yet.
Sally and I called it fake pdp and real pdp to differentiate them.
well maybe cos when the fake pdp is over, the real pdp will come next ):
well I don't know what kind of senior my juniors see me as.
but if I am nothing more than an instructor to them, then I better work on it.
Cos I told myself to be more like their sister rather than to solely be their teacher.

PLTC part 3.
aka STC on 4th June.
P2!
Claire, Eileen, Michelle, Sally, Swee Yee, Weixin, Yiting
:D
First time same patrol with eileen and weixin.
Michelle - 5 times patrolmate lol!
ATC 08, COJ 09, PLTC 09, Telematch 09 and stc 09!
jiayous 41st batch!!! :D
we can.

anyway I was reminded of mr sng's speech on last day of school.
he said that for performing arts, they get to showcase their hardwork on the stage, whereas the sportsmen's hardwork are mostly behind the scenes.
And this got me to think about UG.
And then also fine-focusing on guides.
People from other ccas outside UGs will not see our behind the scenes saikang-ing, the only people we get to showcase our hardwork to is within ourselves.
But even if the world doesn't see it, we understand, we appreciate one another.
So we're gonna just give our best in everything we do(:
This STD (skills training day) is the 41st Batch's pltc encore.
only that the encore was not because of the impressive performance on stage, but because we have lots of areas to improve on.
since the song chosen for an encore is the best one, we too shall make our encore the best performance.
and so we're gonna end pltc encore with a bang.
The stage is really all OURS now.
Our ahheemmmm (cough cough) "siblings" won't be there to steal the limelight of our final performance, so we got no excuses lol.
the last applause from the audience is just a bonus.
all we need is to know that this encore is our best ever.
before we become the conductors/directors/music producers.
last skills training before (insert word)... ):
We can do it!

One should choose to be the one who makes mistakes and not be afraid to let everyone know the mistakes she made, rather than be the one who gives everyone a perfect image of herself.
cos the perfect image portrayed would be nothing more than a mask to hide her weaknesses.
cos nobody is perfect.
whereas if she made mistakes, not only will people learn from them, she will learn too.
And it'll be even better if people see how she picks herself up from her mistakes.
Though I feel we should not judged or be judged based on one mistake made and thus be shortchanged of life's experiences.

anyway, I had a cool birthday today!!!
thanks to all who wished via sms, msn, facebook, face to face etc!!!
You guys made me day.
had open house today.
Came to school at around 730.
some 41st batch people passed me cards and gifts but everything was in such a hurry so I had no time to hug them on the spot lol.
sorry :X
during open house, some people wished me too :D
and after open house, p6 celebrated for me with a chocolatey cake!!
awww...
then while I was washing hands, cryst and nic came up behind me and started singing lol.
such an awkward position to sing.
anyway thank you to everyone luh!!!! :D
tyvm!
joke of the century: tabitha ran all the way from the sjab booth to wish me happy birthday.
LOL.

open house duty was interesting.
an ex dhs guide from the 1979 year came and took a look at our booth.
and she found 2 pics of her in the photo albums!
she took a photo of them with her hp haha.
and we found ms eileen lim's photo too!!!
haha it was so cool listening to all the stories of the past(:
wonder what it would be like 30 years later when we come back to dhs and talk to the 30 years later batches.
wow imagine the 71st batch.
maybe cryst's daughter would be there :D
haha hope they'll enjoy listening to our stories too lol.
I think next time we can just give them all our blog links and they can slowly go read :D
can compile into a book already lor.
haha.

2009-05-28T21:19:00.003+08:00

Getting back report book tomorrow.
Reminder to self to bring the following items which could prove to of good use in predicted circumstances:
- earplugs/noise cancellation device: to shut my ears off anybody within at least 2m radius of me who is complaining about their 3.6.
- chocolate/strawberry/banana bread: to stuff into people's mouths when they complain about their 3.6 right in front of my face.
- a box of tissue: to distribute to people who are crying over their 3.6.
- detergent: to wash the mouths of people who are cursing over their 3.6.

LOL.
Look how everyday items can prove to be of such good use.
haha.

2009-05-26T20:45:00.002+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TABITHA!!!!♥

My ex-classmate + UG mate + caregroup mate!!!
All that I wanted to say has been written on that black piece of scroll lol.
Well at least all that I can remember.
Got lots to say luh actually.
Just can't seem to think of them now.
Words that remain unspoken are the most valuable ones :D

anyway something O.o happened today.
I bumped into teoee at the stairs.
me: (waves)
teoee: Hi! (waves)

after walking away,
wenyi: your junior ah?
me: NO! senior! 4K!
wenyi: oh she looks like sec1 leh.
me: she's sec4 -.-

must be her cute voice that mislead wenyi bah.

AYG ushering meeting on thurs is cancelled.
LOL I almost forgot there was a meeting until the sms came O.o

Didn't go for 3rd lang today cos I felt kinda sick.
So I napped at home to recuperate.
And I had a stupid dream.
Sherly should know.
Shan't elaborate(:

2009-05-25T21:24:00.002+08:00

Great job to 3J for interclass!!!!
Everyone played really well!! :D

and nicholette, don't feel bad luh.
If your class guys dare to scream at you like how they did last friday, I'll stand up for you :DDD
just heck care and ask them to shut the gap before they scold you haha.

2009-05-24T21:51:00.003+08:00

So i got most of my grades back.
Physics - A+
Bio - A+
LA - A
Maths 1 - B
Maths 2 - B
HCL - B
Chem - A/B
Geog - B/C

That makes my minimum gpa 3.33 :D
so it's either 3.33 or 3.47.
cool right yay? :D
Not talking to the A or A+ kias who get above 3.6 and are still complaining -.-
I'm talking to my fellow B+ kias who got below 3.6, more than or equal to 3.2, and are happy about it :D

You will understand how much that 'great improvement!' sticker on your 4th maths pop quiz means to you, especially when you have been getting 7/20, 3/20, 6/20 for your first 3.
(note that the numbers typed above are in no way typo errors. yes, they are one-digit numbers.)
You will understand the importance of error-carry-forwards, especially when it pulls you up from a fail to 18/20!
And more so, when you are the only one out of the four 18/20 kias who got whatever you got cos of the error-carry-forward(:
You will understand the joy of getting 70% for your 3rd HCL test, especially if you got 47% for your 2nd one.
You will understand the irony of consoling your partner (who got an A instead of A+) while your paper with a fail/borderline pass grade is within your sight, yet you are acting as if nothing happened.
Success is not when you top the class.
Success is not when you have achieved every single of your high expectations.
Success is when you did your best and you know it.
Success is when you feel contented, not complacent, with yourself(:

Sometimes, you will appreciate something more when you don't get it very often.
Just like how B/B+ kias jump for joy when they see a 16/20, whereas A/A+ kias will either curse or cry.

For me, I'd rather choose to be one who is lacking, rather than the one who already has it.
Because only then will I understand the true joy of earning that something with effort and hard work.

2009-05-23T20:34:00.005+08:00

Year1s have been enrolled.
They looks so cute in their guides uniform haha.
Good job to colour party :D
so proud of you all cos you all looked so seh omg(:

Played captain's ball for patrol corner and poor isabella was injured ):
so we stopped the game.
And sat at the steps in front of elevated area to view the interclass matches.

Parents: So...what do you want your dowry fruits to be?
Daughter: errrrr....(smiles)
Parents: It's okay, just say whatever you want. Don't need to be humble.
Daughter: erm....can I have 2 choices?
Parents: Yeah, can rank your choices.
Daughter: okay...erm...pears...or pineapples...
Parents: any preference over the other?
Daughter: Nope.
(subsequent dialogue is not for public viewing)

And so, the question(s) has been asked.
The answer(s) has/have been given.
Well, as long as I really meant whatever I said yesterday from the bottom of my heart, and not just for the sake of answering or for the sake of giving politically correct answers, I should not regret my decision(s) and answer(s).
(:
If being honest is the right thing to do, then I think I've more or less done the right thing.
I hesitated alot, but I realised that if I have to speak up, then I should.
Because if everyone thinks that someone else will speak up for the truth, then no one will speak up.
I must not be afraid of offending anyone, cos it's the truth, and we must stand up for the truth.
not hide anything just for fear of ourselves getting into trouble.
not just talk about the truth amongst ourselves.
cos if that's the case then it'll just be all talk no action.
or to put it in a crude manner, all fart no shit.
LOL.
anyway, as quoted, honesty is the best key to a good relationship.
That's all I can say(:

2009-05-21T21:51:00.001+08:00

i feel better after thrashing it out.
Thanks :D

2009-05-21T20:56:00.005+08:00

I just sent weixin a threat sms.
An sms to warn her about her little kids.
LOL.
She must be too traumatised to reply :D
haha.

I'm so envious of sherly.
Her whole pltc patrol remembers her birthday.
Every single one of them.
They even take time to sms her happy birthday.
What about mine?
Some don't even remember that I was in the same pltc patrol as them.
What's with the, "______ and _______ were glad we didn't get last for pltc."
when I was like just next to you.
Oh I see you have totally forgotten how you shouted and screamed at me.
Black face.
Rolled your eyes.
And not a word of apology at all.
And I didn't say anything about that.
So now you pretend that you totally didn't hurt me at all.
And after pltc, I didn't think about how you all hurt me during pltc.
Until today.
I seriously have to voice out.
That's how I really feel ):
You remembered _______.
But not me.
Oh you must have been too smitten I guess.
and you forgot your so-called patrolmate and so-called friend.
well I guess this is just life.
People put their crushes over friends D:

sorry for this emo post.
I just have to speak up.
yeah.

2009-05-21T17:57:00.003+08:00

are all these just a facade of smiles that will fade away?
fade away when the time calls for it to?
what happened to our promises?
we promised it wouldn't happen.
But it did.
somehow.
O.O

2009-05-21T17:36:00.002+08:00

GAH.
I screwed shengqi today.
big time.
roar.
I don't understand why I keep making mistakes one after another.
gah.
But maybe it's a good thing.
So that I can learn from them asap.
Rather than wait don't know how long before I make another mistake.
Then by that time it'll be too late for me to amend them.
So if you wanna make mistakes, make them all together, and you'll learn from them altogether(:
it's better to make mistakes and learn from them, then to not make any at all.
whoa so optimistic :D

p.s. do not listen to people-who-sleep-in-class-and-yet-get-imba-marks e.g that Song Leader when he/she says you are not cut out for it.
Because there is no such thing as being cut out or not cut out for something.
You just gotta try and keep trying.
You will succeed.
Just like that time in some specific month at some specific place when some specific person tried to put another specific person down but anyway the latter survived so whoo!!!
*cheers and claps*
:D

(The above mentioned incident is purely fictional and any resemblance to real life events and experiences are purely coincidental)

((((((:

2009-05-20T20:15:00.002+08:00

Hilarious.
What happened in the morning today lol.
the softball teacher stopped us today at the parade square.
"Why you all so pathetic one? Yesterday use broom, today use this small stick. Tell me lah! I got a flag, can lend it to you all!"
So Sally and I went to get the flag after morning assembly.
It was big, orange and LONG.
Sally looked like an idiot carrying it back to class hahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Was laughing at her getting stares from passers-by.
I think sally and I always look like retards O.o
anyway just wanna say, I think our sec2s very seh :D
ohohoh and they are gonna order their jie4 tee tmr!!!
Hope it's in time for pdp, just like last year when we wore ours for the performance item...

2009-05-18T21:44:00.002+08:00

Wow.
Sec1s are getting enrolled this friday.
So we've chosen our new sec2 colour party.
Amanda, Anyi, Chunyen, Ruo Ting.
Jiayous! :D
Time flies ):

today during cme free period, wulaoshi asked me THE question.
I was taken aback.
I didn't expect her to ask me lor.
It started from a chat about telematch and pltc then suddenly...suddenly...
whoops.
LOL.
can't escape this time yeah?

anyway.
Got back Maths 1 and maths 2 results.
B for both.
Not bad kay!
After all the pop quizzes I have failed.
Still can get B :D
This is called epic tyco.
haha I think my minimum gpa should be around 3.2 so HAHAHA facebook I proved you wrong :D
cos 3.2 = B student :D
you underestimated me by 1 grade!

LOL.

2009-05-17T21:25:00.004+08:00

Question: Why are they taking the rap for us?
Answer: Because they are the same people who took the rap for us 2 years ago ):

I hope jie4 pt won't be too late to 弥补我们的过错, 提高我们的水平.
Sorry I'm not a top HCL student so mind me for wrong usage of words.

2009-05-16T20:49:00.005+08:00

Telematch today was fun!
Although it rained.
T2 Shucks got 2nd!!! :D
haha.
And so our last mega event with the sec4s leading us ended just like that ):
Water war was cool but I didn't get wet gah.
Cryst, chunyen. zishan and I were defenders for one of the bases for the first round.
I did boys style pumping position with my hands on the chair over the pail.
Cryst and chunyen blocked my left and right.
Zishan blocked my head.
LOL.

The algorithm dance performance was cool too.
All the dances were so interesting :D
But I think our lyrics is like the most random and diao one.
hahahaha.

Explanation:
You're scared to get honey from the bees.
So you sabo your friend to take it.
You slap yourself for being a chicken.
You slap your friend for being a chicken.
Then you use a pole to knock the beehive up and down.
Then you hide for cover under a poncho.
You cross your arms to protect yourself from the big bees.
Then you turn around and ignore them.
Then you reach out and grab the bees.
And throw them to the sides.
The bees get angry, so they sting your toot.
Then you kick your friend's toot cos it's too painful.

-.-
There's an underlying meaning to the inspiration of the lyrics lol.

Anyway.

The view from level 5 balcony at around evening.

The view from level 5 balcony at around morning.

One of them is a fake.
Guess which one has been edited lol.

Clothesline!! :D
For the betterment of mankind :D

haha this was during LA quite some time ago.
Around a month ago?
Epic :D
I think 3J is a cute class.

P6 is an inspiration.
The people there make me want to call p6 my patrol, instead of my guides patrol.
Which was what I called it in sec1.
The 41st batch make me wanna call it my dears, instead of the other batch people.
Which was what I called it in sec1.
The guides make me wanna call it my ohana, instead of just my CCA.
Which was what I called it in sec1.

Now things have changed.

2009-05-15T21:45:00.003+08:00

Got back 2 grades today.
Bio and physics.
2 A+s.
I think almost half the class got that kind of grades for now.
Which means I'm at average yay :D
not bad right.
A non-mugger getting average in a smart smart smart class :D
this shows that being a non-mugger doesn't mean you'll be an epic failure.

HCL and geog are definitely out of my gpa so yeah.
Well anyway the other subjects should be either A or B or C lor.
As long as my gpa is above 2, I can prove facebook wrong :D
According to THAT facebook quiz, I am a C student.
All I need is to get 2.1 and I can say that I am a C+ student :D
And then I can say that facebook underestimated my academic ability by 1 grade :D
well actually it's half a grade.
From C to C+.
C+ is carbon with a valency of 1.
(blow wind blow)
oops.

anyway today after pe, Sally and I tied a clothesline in class for our whole row to hang our pe shirts:D
after 2.4 mah.
so cool right? :D
Simple clothesline lol.
From one end of the window to another.
Using sherly's ball of baisheng.
Gah I think we're getting obsessed after pltc.
nonono.
not obsessed about what some other yr3 guides are obsessed over. *eyebrows* :D
we're obsessed over baisheng and rafias lol.
We even harboured the thought of playing electric fence in class.
Using rafia strings to tie from one leg of a table to another leg of another table etc.
It'll be fun to play that lorrrrrr.
I want :D
LOL.

apparently 3J was quite O.o at our clothesline lol.
imagine their reaction when we say we wanna play electric fence O.o

jiayous for telematch tmr! :D

2009-05-13T21:16:00.002+08:00

Algorithm march is cool.
Shucks version of algorithm march is cooler :D
I especially love steps 11 and 12 hehe.
Thought up by crystabelle and I lol.
I never knew telematch prep could be so fun.
A whole entourage of people hogging the 5th level balcony.

(when the sec2s gathered to discuss dance steps)
crystabelle to sec2s: try to include the other gender yeah.
cherisse to sec2s: no, not the other gender, try to include the other CCA.

1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 and 10 and 11 and 12 and...
hahaha.

anyway today I got a shock of my life.
18/20 for physics.
epic shock can.
At first Mrs Tan was like telling the class who got 20, 19 and was saying that 4 people got 18.
And I was totally not listening cos I knew obviously it wouldn't be me.
I was totally expecting to fail this.
Cos of my first wrong answer which lead to wrong answers in sub questions.
Was chatting with my partner lol.
Then when Mrs Tan called my name I thought she said 'sherly', so I continued talking.
Then Mrs Tan turned around and put the test paper on my table.
Then I gave her the :O look and it took me a few seconds before I took the paper lol.
So much for error-carry-forwards :D
They are life savers.
whoo.

2009-05-11T21:55:00.002+08:00

I attempted to get back my sec1 look.
the one with messy bangs.
(refer to post below lol)
but I think somehow it failed.
I totally do not look like my sec1 self.
Sighs.
This is reality.
Time flies.
I can never be a sec1 again ):
Even if I look like one.

anyway telematch prep today at bugis macs was fun.
It was flooded with DHS people lol.
Our team name is 'shucks!'.
haha.
The origin of the name is rather funny.
Shall not elaborate lol.
I finally got back the junior feeling I have been missing for don't know how long.
It's fun to be a junior again.
feels like my seniors are sec2s all over again :D

Haiz I guess the craving for the 'junior-feeling' is yet another pre-pdp syndrome.
It's contagious my dear.

anyway today I talked ALOT with 41st Batch people.
Earned alot of secrets lol.

Even if I looked exactly like how I did in sec1, I can't deceive myself cos I am not one anymore D:

2009-05-09T22:57:00.002+08:00

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
It's not the end of identity-chionging!
We still have one more chance for identity chionging for telematch :D
I just found out that we have to make 38 identities!
whoooooo!
LOL.
fabric paint here I come! :D
Okay I must really treasure this LAST LAST LAST chance for identity chionging(:

2009-05-09T21:05:00.007+08:00

Well...
so yesterday was the last jihe the sec4s planned for us.
I'm glad that zhenling and pearlyn said they were proud of p6's performance during yesterday's oj(:
I'm glad that we ended it for them on a good note, and that we won't look back and regret not doing our best for the last jihe.
P6 got 2nd!(:
We gathered as a patrol to talk after break off.
Full attendence of 14 people!
Tears were shed ):
Zhenling couldn't bring herself to say her first sentence ):

The next jihe is telematch.
And I'm so happy that it is not cancelled.
Finally.
Finally.
Finally.
We can get to experience our long-awaited 4-generation 'OJ' of 2009.
As a full attendence of p6 sec1-4(:
The last one was last year before bazaar, but the sec1s had not joined us yet.

There are many things I regret, and one of the most regrettable is being i/c for sec1 07 pdp item.
At that point of time, we, the sec1s of 2007, didn't really treasure the pdp ceremony.
It seemed so slipshod.
If only I could turn back time, back to pdp 07.
But that is so impossible.
For this year's pdp, if I get a chance to 密布我的过错, I must make sure I treasure it and really make pdp very very very memorable.
Put in much more effort than I did in sec1.
It's the least we can give back ):

I remembered in sec1, I was intimidated by the p6 seniors.
I don't know why.
It's just me.
I was super introverted.
And I felt so uncomfortable.
Then in sec2, I kinda didn't really like the juniors at first.
AT FIRST.
And now I just feel so family-ish with p6.
Zhenling's like our papa.
Pearlyn's like our mama.
Kimberley's like our nanny, she has gone to p7 but she still remembers us(:
The juniors are like our little sisters.
Awwww(:

Well, I hate to admit it, but I have to.
I will always remember Zhenling, Pearlyn, Kimberley as the sec2s who took care of us when we first stepped in.
The sec2s who always covered up for us.
Protected us.
Even to the extent of protecting our stuff :X
Changed places with us when we were facing the sun.
Let us drink from the water cooler first.
I wish I could re-enact the first OJ I had ever had.
But with re-enactment, the feeling is lost.

Well anyway, telematch next week is combined with orchid and lion patrol.
Orchid, Ixora, Lion.
OIL.
Add OIL!
Jiayou!
LOL.

It's the last time the sec4s are leading us ))):
When I can finally get back the feeling of how it was like when the sec4s were sec2s :D
But the feeling would just be different.
I can get to experience seeing them as sec2s of 2007, for the very last time, but I can never get to experience myself being a sec1 anymore ):

P6 picture post!!! :D

In 2007...
when I was sec1!!!
Wendy, Ovidia, Xinyi, Jiawen, Jia Jia, Jean.
KImberley, Zhenling, Pearlyn, Chengyee, Sally, me.

The Year 6s! (year4s 07)

The Year 5s! (year 3s 07)

Year 4s! (recent picture haha)

Year 3s! (year 1s 07)
Sally still looks totally the same -.-

Year2s and 4s 09! (recent picture :D)
Still got xanicia(:

I heart p6 :D

2009-05-07T20:39:00.003+08:00

Physics test was an epic fail for me.
LOL.
But I think my LA compre this time is not bad :D
37/50.
Laugh lor I know you got higher but I still think my score is not bad kay.
You can't put me down :D
So anyway I'm trying to adapt back to school life after spamming my mind with pltc and stuff.
LOL.

every morning, I'm always walking along THE PATH(leading to campsite area) from morning assembly back to my class.
And I'm always passing by THE DINING AREA.
And every recess, I always pass by THE CAMPFIRE PIT and THE WHEELBARROW STATION.
Well I kinda don't really refer to it as the elevated area anymore.
It seems more significant to call it the campfire pit.
haha.
And once in awhile, I would pass by THE ROPE LADDER STATION, THE BOMB SHELTER STATION, THE BRICK STATION, THE WALL STATION etc etc.
And I can't help but stop and think back about pltc stuff.
Now I understand what Teo Ee meant when she said, "during pltc, you'd be like 'aiyah wanna die already' but after pltc you'd be like 'come on, let's do it again' "
Yup.
PLTC is once in a lifetime.
Once it's over, it's over.
Sec2s, treasure the process kay when it comes to your turn (:
Next is yours.

Wasn't it last year when I was a duty guide, and I was saying, "next pltc is ours, pltc 09."
Now it's over.

Well imagine if a video had been taken of my every step during pltc and shown to zhenling and pearlyn.
I wonder what they would be thinking?
Would they just burst out crying on the spot?
Crying can mean crying for joy or crying for disappointment.
Or would they just keep quiet throughout and then emo after the video ends?
Or would they have a wide grin plastered to their face throughout, happy that their efforts had not gone to waste?
I won't know what their reaction would be, but whatever it is, it has been done.
So there's no point regretting over what hasn't been done I guess.
Let's just learn from our mistakes and move on and not make the same mistakes again(:

2009-05-05T22:12:00.002+08:00

Well This tanjong rhu campus has a different meaning for me after pltc.
Everything just seems so different.
It suddenly seems like some haunted, dilapidated old house (even though there are thousands of people inhabiting it in the day lol)
It just brings back all the memories whenever I pass by some places like the red tile area, dining area, etc during recess and such.
The path that the trainees took to run from dining area to tuanbu, the path most often travelled during pltc, held no meaning for me before pltc.
To me, it was just another path I took to go back to class after morning assembly.
But now.
I began to remember trainees running back and forth with mu, tents, etc.
These paths we ran were the places our sweat dripped on.
For some, the places reminded them of their injuries.
I will never look at that patch of grass(which was p1's campsite) like how I looked at it before
pltc.
Now, it is called 'the campsite area', not 'another patch of grass'.

memories.

2009-05-04T20:27:00.004+08:00

okay so here's the reflection on pltc.
Well pltc was over in a blink of an eye.
It's like a once in a lifetime experience.
And when it's over, it's over.
You're only left with memories.
Well, this is a good closure to my last time being a songleader trainee, my last time doing camp prep.
The next campfire, I'll be the one sitting down and listening.
The next guides camp, I'll be the one looking at my juniors lead their juniors.

We started off with KYB first thing on the first morning (shan't elaborate), and then proceeded on to camp D part 1.
Then it was a series of lectures after lunch and also a movie screening about some Korean movie.
If I'm not wrong, the title is wishing stairs.
Then it was dinner and we went for night explore at pasir ris mangrove swamp to solve a mystery.
According to some people, it was haunted O.o
Yeah anyway lights out was around 1+ am, but some of us went for PLC.

Next day we had morning PT and then inspection.
Flag raising, then camp D part 2.
And after lunch was another lecture and then OJ.
And after dinner was campfire!
Then lights out around 1130.

And then around 4am on sunday, evacuation drill.
Ran from place to place then around 5+, went back to sleep at indoor sports hall.
Then we had speed pioneering which was cool cos the structure was a cube :D
And then clear up etc.
Then photo taking and debrief.

P1 got 4th patrol and we got 1st for Camp D yay :D
So shocked cos we were the slowest patrol to complete our structures and gadgets.
And not to mention, our kitchen table kua-ed 3 times before the end product was done.
hahaha.
I think our gateway is aesthetically appealing cos it's symmetrical :D
Other patrols' gateway also nice and creative(:

Well today morning our course leaders gave every individual an evaluation.
They asked me a question which I had difficulty answering.
I knew they were gonna ask this but I just didn't think through before that.
And I stoned there for a few minutes before I gave an answer that was like okay, kind of standard and politically correct.
Ah shit.
Okay I must promise myself not to give such a stupid answer if someone else asks me that again.

Anyway I want to thank my dearest patrol P1 ION + our course leaders (in alphabetical order) - Beng Haun, Charmaine, Jiamin, Jun Yang, Michelle, Samantha, Stephanie, Wei Chia cos without them I would'nt have survived pltc.
And I wanna thank all the trainees for pia-ing so hard together and wanna thank the organising comm and duty personnel and teachers and everyone!

To tell the truth, I missed p6 alot during pltc ):
I was thinking about p6 lol.
I really feel like giving each one of them a big hug right now :D
Okay I shall post some messages that I saved on my phone.
Cant post all cos if ntop it take forever to read lol.

I remember Zishan's encouraging sms a few days before pltc that almost brought me to tears:

"T.T is veh touched! no I wont forget how I crushed you w my fat ass and how you crushed me w your fat ass :D no matter what i will always rmb u de! omg how come this sounds like you're leaving? choi choi choi! Anyways u have been a wonderful snr and i know you've been trying veh hard to make us sec2s seh-er! I know smtimes i abit unserious but i promise i will change for the better. You have been my role model and u will always be. jiayous for pltc p6 loves u i do too <3"

and zhenling's sms after coj brought me to tears.
I cried on the spot after reading her sms.
"Hi cherisse! Don't feel disheartened over coj. Most importantly is that you reflect and learn from your mistakes so that you can do better for pltc. If you know that you have given in your best shot, i am proud of you :D"

and pearlyn's sms to cheer me up during coj prep (can't post it here cos there's confidential stuff lol)

and so many many many more.
I heart p6(:

Had a thought.
Well this didn't occur to me immediately after pltc ended.
It occured to me a few hours later.
What's next after pltc?
You know what I mean right? ):

Read through past posts from other guides' blogs about passing down and I came across alot of posts about time extensions.

This is a story that I shall narrate.
A and B are sec1s.
C and D are sec2s.

C & D: Hi sec1s, our PL says you have to complete your lecture book proposal by this friday.
A & B: Orh okay.
(friday)
A & B: Can help us ask for time extension to next monday?
C: Okay. (smses PL) she said okay.
(monday)
A & B: Can help us ask for time extension to friday?
D: Okay. (smses PL) she said okay, but this is the last time extension she'll give you.
A & B: okay.

-1 year later, C & D take over-
(during patrol activity)
C & D: 20 minutes, tie shoe rack.
A & B: okay.
(19 minutes later)
A & B: Can we ask for 10 minutes time extension?
C & D: Okay, owe 10.
A & B: Okay.
(9 minutes later)
A & B: Can we ask for 5 minutes time extension?
C & D: Okay owe 5, this is the last time extension we're giving.
A & B: Okay.

-another year later, a day before pdp-
A & B: Can we ask for 1 more year time extension? Or at least 6 more months? 3 more?
C & D: We'd be more than willing to give you, but we have given you all our time. That's all the time we have, and we have no more left...

))))):
sometimes, we take time extensions for granted, until we can't get anymore D:
this friday is the last jihe they're planning for us):

Essay question: P6 is a caring patrol. How far do you agree? (30m)

I bet I'll pass this question with flying colours :D
I already gave so many many examples in this blog haha

2009-05-03T21:57:00.001+08:00

PLTC, the day we've been counting down to, is over.
That's so fast.
It seemed so quick and everything.
Well shall elaborate more tomorrow.
Goodnight! :D

2009-04-30T21:12:00.003+08:00

I really wanna thank EVERYONE who wished all the best for PLTC!!!!!
LOVE YALL :D
It's tomorrow omg.
omg.
Tomorrow.
What I can't believe it???!!!
It's actually tomorrow???
It's really fast.
Well I've got nothing else to say.
At least I've chionged all the homework that's due next monday yay :D
actually there's only maths.
But I feel a sense of satisfaction :D
Can go to pltc with ease and without distractions lol.
Let's jiayous!!!!! :D
We can do it!
We will survive!
woots!

I've written my personal goals for pltc on pre camp day.
But today as THE DAY draws nearer, I've got one more to add.
Be the sunshine of p1 ION(:
Cheer my patrolmates on and encourage them.
Remove all dark clouds that surface.
Be like a 大姐 to them. (O.o sounds kinda wrong lol)
Positive outlook okay, Cherisse :D

&lessthan12hours-tomorrow

2009-04-29T20:44:00.003+08:00

These few days are like chiong days.
Chiong this chiong that.
But these are the days that we'll remember.
haha.
pltc is like driving alot of people mad.
Just go check out their blogs, personal messages etc.
LOL.
Jiayous to everybody!

Anyway I just wanna say that I have such nice juniors and seniors!
This week, I've gotten a postcard and a file with my name nicely decorated on it :D
And from my juniors, I got an A4 sized card :D
I was so so so touched that I cried oops :X
But I didn't do it in front of them :D

&2daysmoreonly

2009-04-26T08:49:00.013+08:00

Had napfa on wednesday.
Quite okay.
I did alot of wavey pull ups which are obviously not standard.
but yay still counted! :D
So far got 4 As 1 B.
B is obviously SBJ.
I can never get an A for SBJ in all my 7 years of napfa.
Hope I'll get above C for 2.4K, then can get Gold! :D

Yesterday was pre camp.
First thing in the morning we got to know our patrols.
Guess what.
I'm in P1 again!!! :D
With Charmaine, Jiamin, Michelle, Samantha, Beng Haun, Wei Chia.
Stephanie and Jun Yang as our course leaders.
5 of us from coj p1 FTW.
3 of us from ATC 08 p4 BMW.
LOL.
We're called P1 Ion(:
And cos according to the storyline, every patrol has a 'god of something', so we have the god of intelligence.
Suddenly after pre camp, I just feel so enthu and excited for pltc.
A few weeks ago I was dreading it lol.
Well maybe because now I know my patrol?
The other patrols are p2 ninja, p3 big tree, p4 ponyo, p5 okto!
hahaha such cool names we have :D
Anyway hope this week of camp prep will be done efficiently! :D
yay jiayous everybody!

P1 ftw might have gotten last for coj.
now there are 5 people from p1 ftw in p1 ion.
Now, now, I know what you're thinking.
But in my opinion, that doesn't signify anything(:
Cos we are a team.
Teamwork is why a team succeeds.
And success doesn't mean getting first.
It just means giving our best shot.

I believe that we are a patrol that can work very well together.
We will be super bonded.
Because we are ions.
We are bonded to one another through ionic bonding :D
We have high boiling and melting points.
Cos we have strong electrostatic force of attraction bonding us. (lol that sounds abit wrong.)
For those who have extras, we give our extras to the patrolmates who need it.
Not share the extras.
GIVE it fully :D
and then all of us will gain the octet configuration.
Wave to the Cherisse ion, element symbol Cc.
Cc has a variety of valencies.
LOL sorry that was lame.

Anyway in my opinion.
Anyone can be a leader, but EVERYONE can be a team(:

-sidetrack-

"Second last jihe that we'll be organising" ):
If only time could stand still.

I know some seniors read my blog from time to time, so if you happen to be here right now, I really want to thank you all for being inspirations.
I still remember last year when I was a duty guide for pltc 08, I saw all of you pia-ing your hearts out and I was really moved by your perseverance.
Even though I didn't know every single one very well.
I began to see a different side to all of you.
One I couldn't notice much about in jihes cos we're in different patrols.
That's when I promised myself that I'll be like that when my turn for pltc comes.
And I'm absolutely sure this is what the others promised too.

Ovidia and Xin Yi showed me what strong meant the previous year when they had to leave p6.
Kimberley showed me what strong meant last year when she had to leave p6.
They chose not to cry in front of us, they didn't want to make the rest of us sad, but I know deep down they'll miss p6 cos I know they love p6 too(:
I don't think I'd be able to control my emotions that well, I will cry if I ever have to leave p6):
I don't want me or sally to leave p6.
If I had a choice.
crying for the sec4s is sad enough, leaving p6 is double the sadness):

My funny sec2s remind me of myself as a junior.
In some aspects, like giving the blur look at times and asking questions that are sometimes weird.
LOL.
But I can't say that I remind zhenling or pearlyn or kimberley of themselves as juniors.
Juniors to Jiawen, Jia Jia, Ovidia, Xin Yin, Jean, Wendy.

I wished I had appreciated you all more when you were sec2s.
Rather than just seeing you as 'another senior'.
but if-onlys are too late.
never knew this day would dawn upon so soon ):
thanks for everything, everything, everything you've done as sec2s, sec3s, and sec4s.

(I can't blame you for not understanding why we are counting down to pltc)

2009-04-23T21:00:00.006+08:00

These few weeks I've been hearing alot of inspirational talks and presentations.
Well thank PC for that.
Little quotes and phrases I get from there just can't get out of my mind.
It seems to have been drilled in ever since I've heard or seen them.

On criticism from others.
When someone points out your mistakes, it shows that they still notice what you're doing, and that they see your capabilities in doing much better, thus wanting to help you improve.
However, when people have stopped pointing out your mistakes, it doesn't mean that you have reached the highest level of perfection, it just means that they have stopped taking notice of what you're doing, and have totally given up on you, and think that you're incorrigible.
Criticism hurts, but it is a sign of others seeing hope and potential in you.
See what you can do about it and how you can go about improving.
So, it is better to be given very very bitter medicine than to be given none at all.
Eat it and it'll make you better.
Criticism is vital for improvement. (thesis statement)
LOL.

So during yesterday's PC lesson, we were given some paper to write notes to people to thank them for stuff.
Appreciate the people who've made a difference in my life in one way or another.
Mann, there are MANY.
I don't know why I just can't express my gratitude to someone by writing what I wanna say in a note lol.
It's like when I face a blank piece of paper, or even one that's nicely decorated, and I want to write a letter to someone, I would just end up not writing all that I wanted to say.
Thus my letters would always include this sentence: "I've got alot to say to you but I don't know how to say it here."
-.-
So far I've passed 3 notes already.
I hope to be able to get a chance to affirm these 3 people face to face :D
There are many more people whom I want to affirm face to face.
I'll get a ~~packet~~ ~~box~~ mountain of tissue ready :D
Before I forget, I want to thank this person.
I don't think I can ever get to thank this person face to face so that's why I'm writing it here.
Don't think you'd read it but who cares, I have to thank everyone who MADE A DIFFERENCE to my life.
don't say I didn't :D

"Thank you for making a difference to my life by opening my eyes to the world and how (insert suitable adjective) some people can get. And for showing me how not to trust just anyone. By the way, I don't feel how you think I feel, and I am not who you think I am. Anyway just wanna give you a word of advice. You get nowhere by wallowing in self-pity. You're now a (insert suitable word), good luck for your life and hope you won't screw up after (insert suitable phrase) :D"

LOL.
wow how abstract.

anyway I just realised it's less than 2 days to pre camp!
Today's almost gone so you can't really count it as 1 day.
Awaiting pltc groupings is like going on a blind group date. (not that I want to date tocs -.-")
you don't know who will be in your group.
you don't know what they'll be like.
you don't know whether you'll get along well with them.
But whatever it is, just accept it.
There must definitely be a reason that you're in that group.
Cos it's not random.

Got back HCL and chem prac today.
So happy that I've finally gotten my first A for HCL in 2009 after waiting don't know how many zillion years! :D
it was right on the dot whoo!
Even though some people will think 14/25 for chem prac is ownagely low, I'm happy cos I didn't fail(:
considering the fact that I didn't turn touch the bunsen burner at all oops.

We practically had one whole canteen table all to ourselves :D

Oh and we played murderer too!
3J is getting more fun now yay :D
I look forward to breaks in between lessons and recesses and lunch!
cos we can have row bonding sessions :D

don't worry; it'll be okay; we'll go through it together(:

2009-04-20T21:56:00.003+08:00

We're nearing to single digit.
Really soon.
Think about it.
Pre-camp is already this saturday.
Pre camp = pltc day 0.1
then the camp preps will be pltc day 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and etc lol.

Was sharing to sally about yesterday's blog post during recess today O.o
sharing to sheena too.
And both sally and I agreed that it seemed as if sec1 came and go just like that.
The feeling was like we didn't treasure every single day of our sec1 days.
Until the day we became sec2 seniors, then we started regretting why we didn't appreciate our sec1 life.
But sec1 was the period of time when we had the most memories that have accompanied us even to this date.
It wasn't until sec2 that we finally appreciated all that our seniors had done for us.
All the little things like letting us drink water from the water cooler first, changing places with us when we were facing the sun, etc.

When we own something something, we tend to neglect its existence until the day we lose it, or until the day when we know that we're going to lose it sooner or later ):
That's when we start treasuring it.
That's when we start trying our best to keep it in our possessions, although knowing it's too late, and that we're only deceiving ourselves from reality.

&11moredaysonly

2009-04-19T16:23:00.003+08:00

I can't help but think about my sec1 days.
Seeing my juniors become seniors just reminds me of my first few jihes.
And what happened before that.
At the old campus.
I remembered when I first saw the CCA option results, I was thinking, "Guides?? Oh no! I hate the sun. Those big structures at CCA Orientation seemed so monstrous. And climbing across a rope? I can't do that, I'll never ever do that!"
Well at that time we had to put at least one UG as one of our choices mah.
Yeah so the paper stated that I had to report on that friday at the LT or something like that.
I actually wanted to go to some other CCA, but anyway I didn't try getting the application form cos I was too lazy.

And the next jihe, the sec1s were broken up into our patrols.
truth to be told, I didn't like my sec1 patrolmates at first.
AT FIRST.
There was this girl with the weird laughter, this girl who never smiled, and this quiet girl.
Then I saw a familiar face in my new patrol.
She was the 2A girl whom I always saw a few classes away during morning assembly.
she was always standing at the front of her class.
I was register 2.
I was kind of intimidated by her when I first saw her at morning assembly, and throughout the whole time of patrol bonding, I didn't dare look at her.
But during outdoor cooking, I realised how friendly she was and began to not feel so intimidated.
That sec2 girl was Kimberley. (transferred to p7)
omg.

Back to my sec1 patrolmates.
The girl with the weird laughter, the girl who never smiled, and the quiet girl.
As time passed, we began to have pairs among ourselves.
The girl with the weird laughter stuck to the girl who never smiled. (Cos they were from the same class)
While I stuck to the quiet girl.
Well but overall the 4 of us did talk to one another.
By the second semester of 2007, the quiet girl had quit guides and joined softball.
To our shock.
So it was left with the girl with the weird laughter, the girl who never smiled and I.
By then, I was on quite good terms with the-girl-with-the-weird-laughter.
I remembered that we even exchanged one of our top secrets with each other in december.
However, I just couldn't click with the-girl-who-never-smiled.
Things just went on like that in 2008.
Until the day when the-girl-with-the-weird-laughter said that she wanted to transfer to VJC.
I wasn't quite comfortable with that.
"so I'm stuck with (the-girl-who-never-smiled)?"
obviously I didn't say it out loud.
okay so the-girl-with-the-weird-laughter transferred out.
and then it was just the 2 of us.
(the-girl-who-never-smiled) and I.
I never dreamt that life with her would be what it is now.
We got into the same sec3 class.
And now, we're like best friends. :D

So much has changed since sec1.
so much.
so much.
In sec1 I said that I would never want to climb across any rope, and now I actually like shengqiao!
In sec1 I said that I was intimidated by those big structures, and now I'm actually fascinated by them!
In sec1, I wanted to quit before I even went in, and now I'm actually going for pltc in 12 days!
Okay the identities of my 'sec1 patrolmates'.
the 'quiet girl' - Ai Wee (left in sec1)
the 'girl-with-the-weird-laughter' - Cheng Yee (left in sec2)
the 'girl who never smiled' - Sally (my current and only sec3 patrolmate!)

hahahaha what fun reminiscing my childish thoughts in sec1.

And so it's less than 2 weeks left.
How time flies.
Cliche but this is it.

Anyway had hsk in the morning today.
some hcl proficiency test.
I was elated when I could finally get out of that examination room.
Like I finally had a sense of relief.
Sherly understands why(:

More to Life - Stacie Orrico
I've got it all, but I feel so deprived,
I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside,
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing.
And why can't I let it go?

There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me.
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life.
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more.
(Than wanting more)

I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
Here in this moment I'm half way out the door.
Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing.

There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me,
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life.
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more

I'm wanting more! (Ohhh! Yeah!)

I'm always waiting on something other than this
Why'm I feelin' like there's something I missed?

There's gotta be more to life
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me.
Cause the more that I'm... (More that I'm)
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure
there's gotta be more to life

Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life.
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more to life.

More to, more to, more to life.
(There's gotta be more to life) More to, more to, more to life.
There's gotta be more
More to life

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfvkm2jB0Mc

There is definitely more to life than chasing after goals and goals and more goals.
Goals that are too much.
Set realistic goals.

The more you worry, the less you get what you want.
The less you worry, the more you get what you want.
so DON'T WORRY(:

This is proven in many life examples.
Too many to state lol.

Anyway today geog lesson was different.
In fact it was so different that everyone in 3J were still discussing about it long after Geog.
We were doing a role play kind of thing.
Imagine that we were married to the person sitting next to us.
And we looked around and realised that the only 'normal' male-female 'couple' was kimberly and mark.
The rest of us were of same gender lol.
Yeah so anyway we were supposed to think about how we would react to those questions posed.
E.g. how many children we wanted to have, what our priorities would be, etc.

This geog lesson not only allowed me to put myself into the shoes of married couples, it actually made me think about my future.
LOL.
And I thought about adopting kids instead of giving birth, in the future.
Yeah I know, I know.
Birth rate decreasing blahblahblah.
But at least 1 or 2 more orphans would be given a proper home.
Why create more kids when there are kids out there who really need a family?
I'm sure they'd really yearn for the love of a parent(:
And on top of that, I get to keep my virginity :D
(I sound so xiaoniangre-ish -.-)
haha.
I told all these to sheena and sally and they all just went O.o at me.

I must be more outspoken.
I'm trying really hard in class discussions.
Really.
I'm plucking up my courage to speak up bit by bit.
bit by bit.
bit by bit.
It's not easy, given my 'chill' character, but I'm trying.
I'm improving kay :D
Improving from sec1 and sec2 when my mouth was practically shut throughout the lessons of the year unless it was group discussions.
Keep it up! :D

2009-04-15T22:12:00.003+08:00

Had chem practical today.
Epic failure.
I only have confidence in one answer which is copper(II) carbonate cos the greenish solid just looks like that.
did that copper(II) carbonate test in sec2 mah.
And I happened to see it on google images :D
well at least I've got one answer correct yay.
My answers for the gas is obviously wrong luh but who cares.
People like me just have no common sense to answers.

Contingent training today was different.
We were brought to this cool place outside Performing Arts Centre.
Just opened recently.

Bio test tomorrow.
And HCL paper 2.
Haven't memorised chengyu for Friday yet lol.
Everyone is memorising or has already memorised -.-

anyway.
my sheep says that I should smile more lol.
But I'm not the cute cute sherly type whattttttt :D
In fact I hate to give people a cute image of myself.
Cos when I do it, it looks so fake-ish.
I can't smile unless under circumstances which make me laugh.
Or under circumstances when I'm nervous.
My character is just not the smiley type luh.
I'm the 'chill' type.
Just like my junior zishan who additionally on top of that claims that she's cool O.o

Today I heard the most shocking news ever.
In Year 1, I never dreamt that it would happen.
In Year 2, I was all the more convinced that this kind of thing wouldn't happen.
And now -.-
Well of course I acted normal when I heard it duh.
Not like it concerns me anyway.
But it did shock me.
Alot.
Cos seriously I really didn't expect that.
Tell me that in year 1 or 2, I would have thought it was the biggest joke of the century.
Now not so much.
But it is still shocking.
Don't know why others don't feel that way O.o

Anyway, week 4 is a hiong week again.
Thank God pltc is not in week 4.
If not I would seriously die ._.
Just look at my test schedule this week.
Tues - Jap L30 quiz and Revision quiz 6
Wed - Chem prac test
Thurs - Bio, Geog, HCL CTs
Fri - Chengyu test

Jiayous to Claire the contingent commander!!!!
first contingent training tomorrow(:
We'll listen to you dear!
全都听你的!
But we might have lag timing after every command.
Cos you've got your sexy voice that will stun us for a second or so.
And make all our hearts melt in awe.
And your XXX will be hearing you shout commands woots :D
and fall in love with your sexy voice!
most importantly, fall in love with you!
LOL LOL LOL!

You know what.
I gotta admit something.
Actually I haven't decided.
I was lying about saying that I have decided and all.
Sorry, A. ):
Sorry, blog. ):

But I will soon.

2009-04-11T14:51:00.003+08:00

Why are you screaming?

Shadows may lurk, but fear none.

See, they are just the shadows of 2 innocent girls -.-

when you stand on higher ground and look down upon the world, you feel so mighty and powerful.
but you fail to notice the vast sky looking down upon you.

The photo essay for HCL lol.
Can't believe I'm done with it.
I used this picture.

Shall translate the compo into English lol.
not direct translation.

The sun was scorching hot, the glare of the rays blurred my vision as I walked on and on.
My gaze zoomed in on a cottage seated on top of a hill.
My heart cried out, "I'm nearly there! It's just a stone's throw away!"
I dragged myself to the foot of the hill, yet what was in front of me was a flight of never ending stairs.
It felt as if this flight of stairs was a connection between heaven and earth; a hundred years would be insufficient for me to even get to the halfway point.
I stood there panting, not knowing whether or not to move on, but when I was reminded of the heavenly honey that could be found in that cottage, I had a sudden burst of adrenalin to climb up the stairs.

In life, this flight of stairs is like the obstacle we face when trying to reach our goal.
Whenever we meet with a problem, we usually focus on the problem itself, instead of trying to counter it.
Whenever we meet with a 'flight of stairs' in our life, we usually think about how long that 'flight of stairs' is, instead of attempting to climb up to get to our destination.
When climbing that 'flight of stairs', some of us only set our eyes on how menacing the remaining steps in front of us seem, that's why we don't feel like climbing up anymore, and we just want to give it all up.
The more optimistic people will not only look at what is in front of them, but also turn back to see how much they have accomplished, and what a waste it would be if they gave up just like that.
Their motivation comes from the 'cottage' at their destination.

After climbing up that long flight of stairs for about half an hour or so, I finally made my way to the top.
My face was as red as a ripe tomato, my sweat trickled down the side of my cheeks like little seeds, yet my heart felt so much sweeter than the honey I had just drank in the cottage.
I had to climb up that flight of stairs to get to the cottage.
In life, we have to overcome obstacles before we can experience the sweet satisfaction of reaching our goal.
It is your choice whether or not to complete all the 'flights of stairs' you face in your lifetime.

I am enlightened after writing all these which I thought were pure, total crap.
LOL.

The new ez-link system sucks.
I have 70 cents in my card and they won't let me get through.
They want me top up on the spot.
and due to that I have owed people lots of money.
5 bucks to Amanda.
5 bucks to Sharmaine.
8 bucks to Yiting.
18 bucks in total oh my goodness!!!!!
I was allowed to have at most negative 45 cents before.
but now.
not even 50 cents satisfies.
GAH.
My new ambition is to become the chairman of the ez-link authorities, or whatever association you call that.
I shall allow ez-link cards to have negatives until $5!!!!
So of course people have enough time to be reminded to top up their cards.
oh actually what do you think would happen if I took over NOW?
hmmm?
LOL.
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example......"

I may be young, but one day I will become chairman of ez-link authorities, or whatever association you call that.

Part 3 of pltc motivational prep course.

No patrol is screwed.
No patrol will be screwed.
If you think that there will be a screwed patrol, then there will be.
If you think there won't be one, then there isn't.
We shall not listen to others' perspective of a 'screwed' patrol, cos there's no such thing as a screwed patrol :D

(to the tune of bob the builder)

Sec3s 09,
Can we do it?
Sec3s 09,
Yes we can!
P1 and p2, 3 and 4,

-weixin said it very loudly and tammy and I laughed laughed laughed!!!!

Cherisse: look behind us!

Cheering, pia-ing more and more.

haha see this is what boredom in class does to me.

2009-04-07T20:50:00.004+08:00

Happy birthday Xin Tian!!!!

Remember that mugging session we had together not long ago?

jiayous for pltc kay!
don't stress yeah(:
eh and stop trying to seduce my patrolmate and I hor!

haha happy birthday and treasure the last 3 hours of your birthday!

oh btw a well wishes board for each type of CCA has been set up in the canteen.
One for UGs!
and guess what.
Guides have spammed them yay we own! :D

I looked at my pm.
the start of my pm says "<24daysonly?!".
24 days.
equivalent to about 3 weeks plus.
It's less than a month O.o
I just realised how fast time had flown.
It seemed as if we had just started counting down.
We started counting from 46 days.
almost half now.
So little time, so much to do.
can't believe that it's about 10+ days before we get our groupings.
Which in fact have already been decided.
Just that they'll not be revealed until maybe nearing the end of april.

Oh okay I just heard something that I shouldn't be hearing.
"It's the final countdown.....the final countdown"
From some song which was played as advertisement on tv -.-

We've already hit the big 2.
and it's just 4 more days to hitting the big 1.
oh my goodness gracious me.
seemed like yesterday when a sec4 senior said this after atc 07.
(she was sec2 at that time)
"after your sec2 atc, you'll start to worry for pltc..."
yeah at that time I was still a sec1 and of course I was thinking it won't be soon.
"It won't be soon.
sec2 atc is next year.
so far away.
pltc can't be any sooner.
our sec2 seniors haven't even gone through it yet."

and now.
it's 2009.
We are the ones who only have 24 days to pltc.
our sec2 atc has been long gone.
even our coj seems so long ago compared to what we're awaiting.

p.s. can have time extension?
LOL jk.

Happy 300th post!!!!
woots my blog is 300 posts old!
LOL.

jie4 pt on wed after school yay!
It's gonna be a station pt kinda thing.
must get approval first.
hope it is approved eh!
we wanna further train up for PLTC.
Yeah I know it's kinda late like 1 month left but better late than never :D

You think we'd be doing all these if the people from theothercca were more reliable?
reliable ya, maybe only 0.0000001%.
okay fine.
5%?
as quoted from XXX: "you all cannot rely on (theothercca) like how we did last year."
not saying that they're noob.
it's just their attitude.
I remember hor during some combined activity not long ago hor our group-clothing-worn-as-the-outermost layer hor abit got alot of fingerprints from theothercca hor?
yeah alot leh.
they stayed back until 6+ during camp prep to help us chiong the group-clothing-worn-as-the-outermost layer hor?
they cheered their lungs out during the combined activity hor?
without them we wouldn't have completed all preparations for that combined activity hor?

well anyway we shall just do all we can.
and we can.
We don't have to rely on anyone.
"We don't have to bow down to the (othercca)" - michelle, p2
What's wrong with being humans of a different species from theothercca?
That doesn't mean we're weaker.
By the way, the people who gave birth to them are also from our species.
Are they saying that the nice people who gave birth to them are weak?
oh my goodness, how filial, don't you think so?

I have decided to close 'my spiritual blog' and just type everything I wanna say here lol.

Home - Chris Daughtry

I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love, remains true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.

So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.

Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.

Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old.
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.

Some parts of this song reminded me of something.
it's like sometimes, we forget about God and go out into the world to chase after earthly desires.
Earthly desires like results, popularity, attention, etc.
And to feel good, we have to work and work and work endlessly.
Because we'll never be satisfied with what we have now for long.
We'll want more more more, we'll want to be higher higher higher.
Sometimes, we even have to put on a mask and be a person totally opposite from ourselves.
But when we remember that God is there, when we come back to home, when we repent, God will just forgive us.
And you'll feel that nothing beats being in the house of God.
"A thousand days on earth can never compare to a day in Your courts."

True Friend - Miley Cyrus

We sign our cards and letters BFF
You've got a million ways to make me laugh
You're lookin' out for me, you've got my back
It's so good to have you around

You know the secrets I could never tell
And when I'm quiet you break through my shell
Don't feel the need to do a rebel yell
As you keep my feet on the ground

You're a true friend
You're here 'till the end
You pull me aside when something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
'Till it's alright again
You're a true friend

You don't get angry when I change the plans
Somehow you're never out of second chances
Won't say I told you, when I'm wrong again
I'm so lucky that I've found

A true friend
You're here 'till the end

You pull me aside when something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
'Till it's alright again

True friends will go to the ends of the earth
'Till they find the things you need
Friends hang on through the ups and the downs
Cause they've got someone to believe in

A true friend
You're here 'till the end
You pull me aside when something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
No need to pretend

Oh, you're a true friend
You're here 'till the end
You pull me aside when something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
'Till it's alright again
You're a true friend
You're a true friend
You're a true friend

I wanna dedicate this to all my friends out there!
love yall so much <3

CIP yesterday.
It was really great.
No need for elaborations lol.

anyway i just wanna introduce this new equation.
Cherisse + Zishan = Joke + craziness
LOL.
During free time after dinner.
We went to the playground to play with other guides.
(yeah I know, you must be thinking we are very childish right? O.o)
haha.
Yeah so I tried piggybacking her.
then when she pounced on my back, I lost my balance and fell on her.
Then now it was her turn to piggyback me.
I pounced on her back and she fell on me.
No fun writing it down in words.
You have to see it to understand it lol.

Then after that we had a p6 performance people chat.
Went under some HDB walkway and starting talking.
Told them about the previous sec3s in p6, etc.
blahblahblah and everything.
alot of stuff lol.

Next week.
Only 3 days of lessons next week!
Cos Thursday is sports day and friday is Good Friday! :D
All the best to DHSTRACK!!!
especially the athletes of 3Jigglypuff!!! :D

2009-04-02T20:36:00.003+08:00

Okay as I have promised mysummertimediaries.blogspot.com
I'd come back here with my answer.
And I have decided.
Yes it's a surprise to you, but I have lol.
Well it may change.
It might.
But I've thought through it and now I've got an answer to give to A.
for the time being.
Since it's my decision, I shouldn't be asking anyone to decide the answer for me.
okay I'm ready to give the answer.
am I?
Okay, yes.
I'm ready to answer should A ask again.
haha wow that was quick.

anyway just to digress, here's part 2 of the pltc motivational prep course.
LOL why am I sounding so retarded?
I've learnt something from the WOG which I feel can be applied into things like pltc.
Set your eyes on what is unseen, not what is seen, because what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
'Seen' refers to things that are short lived.
In this case, the glory to win.
'Unseen' refers to the things that are hidden treasures.
In this case, the experiences and stuff learnt.
Race to ace is good, but don't get too caught up with it that you actually forget the true reason for pltc.
It's good to have a goal, but don't get too engrossed in reaching it that you actually ignore the process.
What's important here is not what you get at the end of pltc, but what you get out of it.
What you get at the end of pltc is your reward, but it is only temporary, after all, do you think people will remember the order of patrols of pltc 2009 10 years later?
however, what you get out of pltc are your experiences, which you can apply when you go out into society 10, 20 and many years later.
which here is the less temporary one?(:

Happy April Fools' Day!!!!
Today was quite a fun day.
Went for Ohana sl training in the morning.
Then when I went back to the parade square where my bag was with some other guides,
I got tricked -.-
here's how it went:

Xin Tian: Cherisse, just now your guides uniform was on the floor, seniors saw, and the whole jie4 must pump 200.
Cherisse: omg omg omg how did it drop????
Tammy: some random guy ran across and kicked it, and we didn't realise until 5 min later, when the seniors came and told us.
Cherisse: omg omg omg everybody 200????
Xin Tian and Tammy: Happy April Fools!
Cherisse: -.-

On the way back to class I pranked tabitha about overhearing her sjab postings.

Cherisse: Hey tabs just now in the morning I overheard some sjab sec4s talking about sec3s posts.
Tabitha: Then?
Cherisse: Then I heard your name. You are the house captain I think.
Tabitha: HAH I knew it.
Cherisse: happy april fools!
Tabitha: -.- anyway I'd believe it even if it wasn't a prank.

Started off lessons with a collaborative joke by 3I and 3J.
3/4 of the each class swooped classes.
The teachers weren't really taken aback lol.

During the last 15 minutes of PC, Clara asked helaoshi to let us get out of class and play jokes on other classes.
We went as a class and stoned outside other classes' windows.
That was our original plan.
Classes we went to:
3I - we just burst out laughing and they slammed the doors and windows on us lol.
3H - mr siva came and suanned us -.-
3G - they slammed the windows on us -.-
3C (which was inside classroom 3D) - laughed when we sang the school song.
3B - clapped when we sang (i forgot what song)
3L - clapped when we sang school song.

during lunch, the guides kept pranking about pltc being cancelled or telling gullible people that they're in the same pltc patrol lol.
michelle and I played a prank on mervyn.
This was how it went:

Michelle: Eh mervyn you know about pltc groupings?
Cherisse: you are in our patrol again.
Mervyn: everything same as coj?
Michelle: only some changes. we told the rest already.
Cherisse: oh ya our councillors are... (randomly said some yr5's names)
Michelle: No it's...(some other yr5's names) right?
Cherisse: Oh I didn't really remember luh but I heard their names.
Michelle: ya tmr have to jihe at 730 at parade square.
Mervyn: oh okay set.

and michelle and I went back laughing to the rest of the guides seated on the floor lol.
oh ya talking about sitting on the floor during lunch.
Our canteen tables were taken away by SHSC as a prank lol.
But it was quite a fun experience eating on the floor luh.

Writing all the pranks down here takes away the real atmosphere lol.
You have to be there to really see the funny expressions that make you just can't help but laugh.
hahahahahaha.

Yeah so the last trick of the day by SHERLY CENDANA KOALITAS.
LOL.
She wrote some crap on a pink card and left zonglong's number there, then she asked sylvia to pass it to me.
Obviously I knew it was a joke, but I didn't know who wrote it lol.
So I smsed zonglong "nice joke but I have seen better today. but good try lol."
Until sherly came and confessed to me later O.o

Anyway after school we had combined patrol activity: P1, P6, P7, P8
3-station oj.
It was tiring but fun, and we learnt some new stuff from there.
And after that we earned some pltc stories too :D

anyway that's all for now.
bye!

2009-03-31T21:39:00.004+08:00

Had maths common test today.
Quite okay luh.
But I don't guarantee an A or A+ since I've not been getting any this year lol.
Got back Jap test paper.
Not bad.
35/45.
Was kinda shocked cos I though I'd fail lol.

Anyway so I shall talk about some serious stuff here.
Forgive me if I get too emo..................................................

How it seems like everyone has a goal, they have something in mind.
And I don't.
They're working towards that goal, and I'm not, because I don't even know what I want.
Up until now, I have not made a decision yet.
I was asked once in January, and I said that I haven't decided.
It's already April and my answer is still the same.
I still don't know what I want.
I don't know how to decide.
I don't know when to start deciding.
I shall now quote an excerpt of a dialogue I had with A (identity shall not be revealed) today.
Shall copy Mr Ken's concept.
'what' shall replace each of A's words.
'duno' shall replace each of my words.

Here goes.

A: What, what what what what?
Me: Duno.
A: What what what what what what what what, what what what what?
Me: Duno. Duno duno duno duno duno duno duno duno?

Don't get it?
Well nevermind.
I'm talking abstract now lol.
Okay I shall reveal the first 3 lines.
Only the first 3 lines.

A: So, what do you want?
Me: Duno.
A: I mean you'd have something in mind right, so what you want?

the funny thing was that I actually more or less had some form of decision at the end of last year.
But when it came to this year I just told myself that I had rethink this decision all over again.
so now I'm sitting on the fence, not knowing what to choose.
I realise I don't have much time left before I would be asked for my answer again.
gah.
I wish I didn't have to answer it.
It's so difficult for me to come to an answer.
To search myself for an answer.
It's so difficult lol.
If only time would stand still.
Then nothing would have to change.
But then again, change is unavoidable.

"Well Cherisse, now the question is,
Is it that difficult to make a decision?
Or is it because you don't dare to?"

Think about that and come back here.

LOL.

Well anyway I shall digress from here.
So now here comes the hype about PLTC.
More than 5 guides counting down on their personal messages.
So I guess the take now is 5 patrols.
Including a few sec2 scouts.
This will be the last time as a trainee for a camp.
Yes, that's reality.
It is.
Much as I can't believe it.
It'll be the last time of chionging identities, cheers, packing of peibei and faks, and other camp stuff like mealbags and shorts ):

This 3D2N camp, 60+ hours spent in school, with your patrol, with your jie4.
Whether you get the best out of this camp, is not how your situation is.
It is not based on how many 'imba' people there are in your patrol. (though I don't really support the classification of imba vs not imba)
It is not based on how good you are individually, how much you know, how much you talk.
It is based on your heart and soul and mind.
Put the 3 of them into it, and you'll never go wrong.
You'll walk out of the camp feeling satisfied that you have put in your best for the camp.
Even if your patrol has been thrashed and owned hands down by the rest.
Even if your muscle cells have been producing too much lactic acid that it hurts so much.
Run for your team, not for the glory.
Run not to deliberately impress the audience, but to challenge yourself.

Even if you get into a so-called 'screwed' patrol, (again I don't really support calling your own patrol screwed)
It doesn't mean that PLTC will be 'screwed' for you.
Because it is all in the mind.
It is how you perceive it.
Things won't be that bad if you don't see it that way.

You can't change your situation.
But you can change the way you handle it.
Don't focus on the problem.
Focus on the solutions.
Don't focus on the question asking you to sketch a curve and get stuck there because you hate sketching curves.
Focus on how to find the turning points, x-intercepts, y-intercepts, etc.
And there, you can sketch your curve now.
Problem solved yay! :D
Move on.

Hope this motivational post works lol.

2009-03-29T22:11:00.004+08:00

Had study date with Xin Tian and Tammy today!
Sherly couldn't come )):

2009-03-27T22:30:00.004+08:00

Gosh everyone's getting so competitive.
Sec3s.
It's like all throughout the level.
People are trying to aim for leadership positions.
Especially those in UG and Performing Arts.
and they've changed alot ):
People backstabbing one another, curry favouring, etc.
I've been hearing alot of "you know ah, my CCA got this girl/boy always suck up", "all the sec3s in my CCA aiming for CCA chairperson", "the seniors like him/her but we all don't", etc, from people around me.
But I know this is just a phase everyone will go through.
After this it'll be okay.
Everything will be back to normal.

anyway today michelle.....
gah feel like whacking and smacking her man.
While boarding the 158 bus after jihe, she said something like 'you don't return it to me, I ask XXX call you'
Then XXX was just right behind her.
It was total rubbish.
Total nonsense.
Don't know why she thinks I like XXX.
and then half the jie4 know about this nonsense too.
Mann I'm innocent.
I'm really innocent!
You gotta believe me.
Cherisse is innocent!
Don't listen to all that nonsense and all!
:D

Anyways, I just wanna say, welcome to your beginning steps of pltc.
PLTC prep part 1 - Patrol activity next wed.
P1, P6, P7, P8.
So we're broken down into 2 groups.
My group - Eileen, Jiamin, Rong Hui, Samantha, Tammy
3 of us from coj p1!
And the other 3 from coj p3!
LOL.
shall treasure this time I have on wednesday to learn all there is to be taught.

2009-03-26T21:01:00.003+08:00

Today I heard something really shocking.
Some things.
not one thing.
I just kept on going "omg really?", "serious?", "you sure?" and etc cos I couldn't believe it okay.
I expected that something would happen, but I didn't expect it to be like that.
I didn't expect a twist to the story.
It's just really saddening.
My heart bleeds for her.
I feel really bad.

Anyway today I totally understood what it means to be a support to a leader.
Understood what it means to have support.
Chair-ed cg for the first time.
Thank you everyone for your encouragement and jiayou-ing.
So now I shall be a better support to my leader.
To be a better DMM.
(:

2009-03-24T20:17:00.004+08:00

I woke up this morning realising that I had lost my voice.
And not just lost my voice.
I couldn't even speak at all O.o
It was terrible.
When I went to parade square in the morning to hangout with 41st batch, I couldn't even talk at all.
All that came out from my mouth was AIR.
I had to keep speaking in a loud whispery tone.
And use super big actions and strong facial expressions to express what I can't say in words.
and then get laughed at for my weird facial expressions O.o
LOL.
It's just like acting a mime show.
Everyone's meant to laugh at the mimer.
I finally understood how it is like to be mute D:
Wondered how I survived today -.-
Talking is like my life kay.
Can't live without talking for a day.
Or even for an hour.
My voice is like my weapon of attack and defence.
Everyone who knew about my voice just went laughing or imitating me -.-
some were kinda amazed at my loss of voice lol.
Hope that by tomorrow it'll be better(:

got back physics and ACE today.
physics got 15/20.
ACE got 10/14.
Hah don't know whether you imba muggers out there count that high or low.
I don't carrrrreeee.
I'm satisfied with it and that's that yay :D
Cos I have finally aced more subjects than I've failed lol.
5 vs 3.
Jap test today was ._."
but it's overrrrrr so yay :D

hope I can seriously get back my voice tomorrow.
If not I can't present for geog.
And that will result in the whole group being unable to present :X
Cos everybody in the group must talk mah.
LOL we just wanna get it over and done with.

2009-03-23T20:56:00.002+08:00

Today I just heard something that will shock the world town down.
Shall keep quiet about it.
shhhhh.
Anyway sherly!!!!!!!
why you laugh????
LOL.

2009-03-22T16:53:00.003+08:00

Jellybeans are so cute ad tasty.
So are chocolates.
My stomach juices have just been activated.
uhoh.

Anyway I recalled yesterday's msn convo with 41st batch.
We always talk alot alot of crap hahahaha.
Anyway nicholette made me laugh with the mention of Kitty Club.
I didn't get what she meant at first.
But then after a few seconds, I finally got it :D
Nic, I think it should be Kitty Ballet Club luh.
Or maybe Kitty Ballet Society.
Sounds more posh and glam :D

2009-03-22T15:58:00.002+08:00

Sprained my neck when I got up from bed this morning ):
So now the condition of my body:
- Hurting throat
- Sprained neck
- ~~Broken heart~~
hahahaha no luh.
Just joking.
It's just the first two.
My heart will never be broken.
Cos I will never let it break :D
LOL.

Anyway I just got an sms saying that I'm one of the PLTC SLs.
Together with eileen, tammy, weixin and yiting.
Welcome to your first steps of PLTC prep my dear.
haha.
Didn't know that PLTC need SLs too.
Hope my last time as an SL would bring a memorable ending to my SL trainee experience(:
Treasure it dear.

Msn-ed with Zhenling yesterday.
Made me all the more unable to bear for the sec4s to leave........ ))):

So I guess that's all for now.
before I start making my post emo.
see you in school tomorrow! :D

2009-03-21T21:21:00.002+08:00

today was a boring day.
Was supposed to go for rock climbing enrichment for Guides, but I felt so sick the moment I woke up in the early morning.
My whole head was so painful, it was like my nerves were hurting.
Felt kinda giddy.
And my throat was quite painful too.
So I smsed xintian that I wasn't gonna go.
And went to rest.
By the time I woke up, it was already 1pm O.o
I felt a little better, so I went to cook spaghetti for lunch.
Then did portfolio stuff.
Now I feel much better yay!
Thanks for the concern from everyone(:

so sad that I missed rock climbing D:
I bet it was super fun lorrr.
And I missed out seeing claire's expression while she obssessed over _______.
LOL!
I laughed out loud when michelle smsed me about all the stuff claire said :D
haha.

Back to school.
I don't know whether you can call that good or bad.
Bad in a sense that there are tests and everything.
Good in a sense that I can hangout at the parade square every morning talking crap to 41st batch and having fun in school :D

anyway I had this weird dream just now that our pltc patrol would be exactly the same as our coj patrol O.o
I don't know if you consider that good or bad lol.
For some it might be really bad.
For some it might be okay-okay.
But for people like michelle, oh come on, she must be totally over the moon mann!!!! :D
hahahaha.

2009-03-20T22:10:00.002+08:00

COJ is over.
The next step, the next big leap is PLTC.
Can't believe I'm actually saying this.
It's just so quick.
After curtain call last sat, Wendy came up to me and said, "You're in sec3 now?"
I said, "Yup, PLTC in 45 days. Scared."
And she said something that I really have to agree with, "Seems like yesterday when you were in sec1, and now you are going for PLTC..."
Why does time fly so fast?
40 days to PLTC.
Which means 80+ days to passing down )))))))):
The day everyone dreads.
The day when everyone will spam picture-taking to grab as many pics possible of their pretty sec4s.
The day when the whole patrol will sit in a circle under the stars and the sec4s will just give everyone their final words before they leave.
And then just talk and talk and reminisce, not wanting to go to sleep.
Because we all know that when we wake up, passing down is officially over ):
Time flies.
Let's treasure it then(:

2009-03-19T21:38:00.003+08:00

Haha today went to watch Hotel For Dogs at Vivo with 41st batch!
It was a very very touching movie kay!
I almost cried.
Jiamin cried lol.
Anyway the dogs called Romeo and Juliet remind me of _______ and _______.
The male is like so much smaller than the female can.
The female is not fat, it's just that the male is super skinny O.o
But anyway that's not the main focus lol.
They are not really the main characters, but they look really funny together :D
And their puppies turned out really cute.

Oh and then at the start of the show there was this guy who looked kind of evil.
I didn't really had a good impression of him at first.
Then suddenly he told the girl, "My name is Mark."
Then I burst out laughing!
Cos it's the name of one of my classmates mah.
Sorry Mark your name is that uncommon :X
But anyway he turned out to be a good guy.
The dog nabbers are the baddies.

After that we went to play at the mini pool.
Did alot of stupid stuff.
And stupid Michelle talked crap about me again -.-
Nevermind.
At least I had my share of telling everyone about her and her White Chocolate aka toilet too :D

2009-03-16T22:16:00.002+08:00

I miss 2K and 3J):

LOL.
Went back to school for Guides today.
Built sandcastle with P6 and P3!
And got splashed deam lot of times.
Then went to have my teeth cleaned.
Yeah that's all for today LOL.
Oh ya ya ya celebrated Wenxin's birthday in the morning!!!
Sang happy birthday don't know how many times :D
and I smeared cake cream on Sally's, Claire's and Tammy's face yay! :D

P.S. 3J is not boring at all.
Open your eyes and ears people.
We are the best of the best :D

2009-03-14T22:29:00.002+08:00

So...
1 term is over just like that...
Yeah.
And so we're gonna change seating arrangement.
Much as it surprises you, I hate to leave my partner, Zijun.
Yes even though I have a tough time attempting to speak to her in Chinese, she's really super cute and super nice kay!
The best thing that I like about her is that she NEVER EVER asks about my results unless she sees a really big expression on my face.
but nonetheless, she doesn't try to peek at my marks or anything.
It's like the best kind of partner I can ever get(:

Some things are just meant to be kept a secret.
Don't force it out of someone unless she seriously agrees to say it out of her own accord.
I don't like showing people my marks.
Doesn't matter if I did badly or not.
I just don't like showing people my results.
Well maybe at most to a few people only.
Cos anyway these results are nothing more than numbers.
For me, I just want to take nothing more than a glance at the numbers, then chuck it into my file.
Then go home and look through the questions and answers.

I hope I'll like my new partner.
But even if he/she don't turn out to be the kind of partner I wanted, I'd try my best to 'give and take' with him/her(:
cos after all, you are all my lovely classmates :D

2009-03-14T20:55:00.005+08:00

Today's service rocked rocked rocked big time kay!
We've got new additions to EB2!

Two rainbows. Spot the other one :D

-There'll always be a rainbow after a storm-

2009-03-14T09:31:00.001+08:00

Got back hcl CT yesterday.
Screwed it big time.
47/100.
Not the lowest but still a fail lol.
I think so far from what I know there are about 3 failures?
and I'm proud to be one of them :D
LOL but anyway my average for both CTs would be 54.5 so it's not exactly a fail luh.
Got 14/25 for term paper.
at least I passed kay :D
At least I didn't fail unlike my first geog CT.
Going for 'Your Curtain Call' later!! :D
It's gonna be a super duper cool dance performance!!
:D

2009-03-12T09:36:00.002+08:00

juxtaposition.
–noun

1.	an act or instance of placing close together or side by side, esp. for comparison or contrast.

2.	the state of being close together or side by side.

From the dictionary

For comparison.
HI.
Well the degree of comparison depends on your method of juxtaposition.
If you put two things which are different to a small extent together, compared to putting two things which are unlimited-ly different together, which do you thing will give you a more obvious contrast?
However this kind of contrast would often lead to stereotype.

Example 1
Put me in 3J, and I'd look like some uncouth and uncivilised little girl.
why?
all I need to do is to exclaim wlao or wth and I get weird stares.
I mean after all my class is so guai mah, and I'm not as guai.
It's just a wlao or wth, wait, I only said wt without the h.
but why does that make me seem so uncivilised?
LOL.
okay now put me in 2K, and I'd look really normal.
I'm not saying 2K is uncivilised.
But wth and wlao seems pretty normal mah, even wtf is pretty normal what. (look at the 7 guys)
So does it mean that in 2K, I'm normal, in 3J, I'm uncivilised?
Don't get me wrong.
I love 3J alot.
Really.
The friends that I've made there are really really nice(:
It's just that I want to totally be myself and not get judged based on juxtaposition.
Just because I'm not as guai as the rest of the class O.o
Just because I'm closer to my guides friends who are a bunch of horny and crazy kidds?
So does that make me a traitor?
after all I'm closer to them cos I've spent 2 years with them.
Spent my days and nights with them before. (camps -.-)
Spent my toughest physical times with them before. (PT)
Drew stuff and built things with them before.
Talked and talked and talked with them before.
Teased them loads with their ahems before.
A few examples to cite.
Michelle + _______ and _____
Xin Tian + _______ and ________
Nicholette + _______ and ________ and ______
Weixin + _____ and ______
Crystabelle + _______ and _______
Yiting + ______
Eileen + _______ and _______
Claire + _______ and _______
Tammy + ______
Sally + _____
Can't blame me for wanting to hangout at our parade square territory and talk to them every morning rather than sit inside 3J mah.
Can't blame me for lunch-ing or recess-ing with them what.
Give me some time.
I'll try to be as guai as 3J.

Conclusion: Juxtaposition is NOT an accurate means of judging/catagorising a person yay. You must see the effort that the person is putting in to change herself since she can't change her situation.

2009-03-10T20:16:00.004+08:00

Hmm got back Bio CT today.
Wasn't as bad as I had expected.
24.5/30.
I'm very very satisfied :D
I don't want to aim so high anyway(:
Sian maybe getting back physics CT tomorrow.
Getting back HCL CT on friday.
Anyway I'll expect the worst.
期望更高, 掉得更底.
The higher you aim, the more your disappointment.
Life is like a quadratic graph.
There are maximum and minimum points.
There will be times when your y=0 or your x=0, or below O.o
LOL.

Anyway yay the mural design proposal is done :D
But seriously, mine looks very childish.
totally unprofessional.
You'd never think it was drawn by a sec3.
Even kindergarten kids would be able to come up with a more mature design then me.
LOL.
I don't know if there's guides jihe this friday?
cos some sec3 guides are down for duty this friday for sports meet.
Including my dear patrolmate sally D:
then I'd be the only sec3 left in p6):

anyway here are some overdue pics from coj lol.

Gas room station

constructing stretcher

transporting casualty out of gas room

COJ debrief

P1 FTW! (Do you see a graph with a negative gradient? :D)

Well that's all for now.
And I still haven't claimed back my coj stuff.
LOL.
Must remember.

2009-03-09T21:25:00.000+08:00

I have not claimed back my stuff from COJ.
I miss my peibei kay.
It's like only 4 more months when I get to have access to the xiaoduixiang):
LOL.
I have developed feelings for the xdx already kay.
I must take a picture with it before patrol passing down.
MUST :D

Anyway mural design deadline is tomorrow.
Oh no.
I don't know how to draw and what to draw.
I'm drained of inspiration.

No tests this week, but we're getting back tests.
I expect the worst.
I have screwed them up anyway(:

2009-03-08T17:43:00.002+08:00

The truth is that the comparison of life before and after COJ just seems so...so...different and so...so...weird.
It's like I just realised there'll be no more staying back to chiong stuff.
No more bueysong-ing.
No more eye-rolling.
No more emo-ing.
No more tears.
Not that I enjoy going through all off the above, but I really don't mind going through COJ week all over again.
Maybe the very very last time we can feel the 'essence' of COJ week is on Monday when we claim back our xiaoduixiang stuff from peibei/FA kit and remove the "P1" labels.
Or we could also leave some labels for memories lol(:
Can't believe next week is the last week of term 1.
One week can change so much.

"How different are Week 9 and week 10 of term 1? Explain your answer with supporting evidence - bonus marks for pictures (30m) "

2009-03-07T09:46:00.005+08:00

COJ has ended.
It was so so fast.
I remembered at the start of the year we were like saying COJ was in March.
Then we were saying Chinese New Year not even over yet, long way more.
And now, it's over.
Even though P1 got last, I really wanna thank all of you for being......P1. haha.

Here's a rough timeline of Friday's COJ:
Mass change
Given 2 mins to change into OJ kit and everything was in a huge huge mess.
Couldn't find my scarf at first and was panicking like mad O.o

First station: Gas room
Michelle was PL.
It was a first aid station.
Wei Chia and a sec4 were the casualties.
We had to transport casualties out of the 4S classroom, and we found bonus stuff lol.
Then one of the scouts had to pump 100 to get back the FA kit that got kupped.
Then all of us went omg.
And then we tied a stretcher to carry Wei Chia down to the next station.

Second station: Rope climbing
Samantha was PL.
At first we all had to be at ground level, but after a few minutes, the station master allowed 2 people to go to the second level.
We had to use the fireman's chair knot to do this.
In the end none of us managed to go up the rope.
And our 3 mu got kupped.

*transition phase*
Used Guides code to decode a message and do as stated before moving on to the next station.

Third station: Acid river
Jiamin was PL.
We tied tripod but didn't manage to get everyone across.
And one of our peibei got kupped.
And another one almost got kupped.

Fourth station: Shengqiao
I was PL.
And when I found out it was a shengqiao station my heart went "Shit, I don't know if I can climb a shengqiao properly."
We tied clove hitch around two trees and twisted a mu at the start of the yingsheng to make it more taut.
I crossed the shengqiao first.
In the end about 7 or 8 people crossed the shengqiao.
Then we ran to the 3rd storey and down again.
And alot of our stuff got kupped.

Fifth station: Minesweeper
Wei Chia was PL.
Li Yee and Mervyn were casualties and we had to go across the minesweeper while transporting them across.
Samantha and I treated Li Yee(unconscious) while Geoffrey treated Mervyn(right collarbone fracture).

Now I shall dedicate a short individual message to P1 lol.
I feel so *shy*.
in alphabetical order starting from Guides:

Jiamin: Heys you rock as a PL for the acid river station kay don't think about it anymore(: 2Kezo classmates!

Li Yee: Hey thanks for persevering and pushing yourself for the patrol e.g pumpings and sit-ups! Jiayous!

Michelle: Hey dear, don't emo le. You were a great PL for gas room station. thanks for being with me always. lol. without you I really don't know what to do. ATC 08 P4 BMW patrolmates!

Samantha: Hey jap class partner! Thanks for your initiative in helping and for taking care of our stuff! You did great as PL for rope climbing!

Wen Qing: Hey thanks for baoshi-ing and helping to take care of all our stuff! Though I don't know you very well but you are helpful!

Geoffrey: Hey thanks for helping to chiong all the labelling of peibei stuff and for offering to help us take things!

Mervyn: Hey thanks for having initiative to help us do stuff even though you ask alot alot of questions! LOL but asking questions is good.

Wei Chia: Hey thanks for your patrol xiaoduixiang stuff and for helping to pack peibei! Good job as PL for minesweeper!

And here's a general message to 3 groups of people from Michelle and I:
P1 Guides: We've survived COJ! Thanks for pia-ing and let's jiayous for pltc together! We might be in different patrols but we're still in this together yeah(: Remember our sec1 days when we first stepped into Guides? We'd never thought our paths would cross here at this point lol. Time really flies): pltc in 2 months. Let's cheer one another on to boost our morale ya. Treasure our 1 and 1/4 years left in Guides(:

P1 Scouts: All that mutual bueysong-ing and kb-ing outside your tuanbu while packing stuff seem so LOL when you look back on them. Thanks for helping us take stuff but don't so 逞强 luh lol. This might well be the last time we're working together, unless we tio the same patrol for pltc, then too bad for you lor :D anyway jiayous for pltc and etc!

P1 course leaders: Thank you for all the guidance and encouragement and for seeing potential in us even though we disappointed you all. And thanks for taking time to come down to see our coj prep progress. We'll take note of what you have said and move on and learn from our mistakes.

I also want to add on to thank my patrol sec4s, Zhen Ling and Pearlyn, for their support and encouragement throughout the whole coj week. And for being a listening ear to the problems I was facing. Thank you so much! Both of you have shown me how an ideal senior in my opinion is. I hope to really treasure my time with you all. Only left with 4 months):

This coj would not have been possible without the sec4s, so we wanna thank the sec4s for organising this coj despite being so busy with tests and projects(: I believe the sec3s have learnt alot from this coj and gained more exp through this. LOL.
Let's jiayous for the next quest, PLTC!

I just looked at my hp contacts and realised that the (P1) in front of everyone's name(in P1) is invalid since coj is over.
LOL cos to make it easier for mass sms, I put (P1) in front so when I type "P1", all the names will come out.
So now even though the (P1) seems kind of invalid, we'll still be P1 in our memories :D
May we remember all the crap we've thrown at one another when we look back :D
I wonder how I am going to get the patrol picture O.o

Anyway Dunman High has been granted a holiday on Thursday!!!
cos our principal was happy with the A level results! :D
Yayness week 9 tests are over!

2009-03-05T21:59:00.002+08:00

COJ is tomorrow!
And physics test.
Chem viva and HCL test was screwed today lol.
But as I said, who cares?
It's over.
And LA compre made my day.
39/50, it was the highest in class.
For the first time I topped the class.
One of the really rare opportunities lol.
But anyway jiayous for the end of the week!
Jiayou jiayou jiayou!!!
:D

2009-03-04T21:14:00.003+08:00

Had inspection in the morning today.
Then after inspection I went to the tuanbu and guess what I did the most stupidest thing ever.
I opened my purse to take out my xiaoduixiang key, opened the xiaoduixiang, put my purse on the shelf while I searched for something.
Then after that I just closed the xdx and walked off, not knowing that my purse was inside O.o
Then when I realised, it was too late, the tuanbu had been locked.
So I waited until after school, then went to the tuanbu.
And all the while I had been thinking that my purse was OUTSIDE my xdx.
And I panicked when I couldn't find it anywhere near.
And Michelle said it could well be inside my xdx.
and it was -.-

Bio test was kinda screwed luh.
But who cares?
It's over :D
3 more to go.
HCL, Chem viva, Physics.

Good luck everyone for week 9! :D
And good luck COJ P1-4! :D

2009-03-02T21:08:00.003+08:00

Hmm so we more or less finished our identity today!
Gonna waterproof tomorrow.
Shall take pictures and post here!
I think the identity is really pretty.
I mean that's in my opinion luh.
I've learnt not to be a perfectionist.
Cos we are all humans, we all make mistakes, we ain't perfect yeah.
LOL.
Quite happy today cos we managed to finish packing peibei and FA kit plus finish identity.
I love our chinese name and english name!
P1 FTW 获胜号!
FTW stands for 'For The Win', and realise what happens when you turn it around O.o
We all were abit slow luh lol.
So 获胜 cos it's For The Win, then 号 is cos the opposite of our name is an exclamation, 感叹号, so it's 获胜号! :D
LOL.
Jiayous to P1 FTW 获胜号, P2 Naruto (don't know their chi name), P3 Power nanny(?) 奶妈, P4 Shuriken(don't know their chi name)!
Pia ah pia ah! :D

Time flies D:
that's all I can say.
Week 9 is spammed with tests.
Let's take a look at the menu this week.

Tuesday: HCL chengyu + cloze passage CT
Wednesday: Bio CT
Thursday: HCL Compre CT, Chem VIVA after school
Friday: Physics CT and COJ.

And next week is file check week.
Hmm you can say that I like file checks luh.
It helps to pull up my sucky marks ;D
I hope.

Think it's better to be what I am now, less results-oriented, as compared to my younger days (not like I'm very old or what but yeah O.o)
I'm young!
I'm still young!
hahahahaha to those out there who have already turned 15 this year!
I'm still 14 hahahahahahahahaha! :D
3 more months left to be childish!
(not like there's a big diff before and after I turn 15 :D)

2009-02-28T20:19:00.002+08:00

Hmm so I knew my COJ patrol yesterday.
In alphabetical order:
Geoffrey, Jiamin, Li Yee, Mervyn, Michelle, Samantha, Wei Chia, Wen Qing
Yeah so in total got 9 people.
And we are called P1 FTW.
LOL.

2009-02-23T20:46:00.003+08:00

Happy Birthday Sheena!♥
My dear classmate of 2 years and 2 more years to come!
Thanks for all the joy you've brought to my life and for opening up to me with your secrets etc.
And your cuteness! I mean act-cuteness.
But I must say you are a pretty good actress, good enough to NEARLY convince me that you are cute :D
hahaha jk luh.
Love you so much!
Look forward to more fun in "Jigglypufftopia"!! :D

Taken last year O.o
Seemed so long ago yeah...

Happy Birthday Michelle!♥
You horny fellow 41st batch mate!
Thanks for all your horniness blahblahblah!!
Hope to get into same patrol as you for COJ luhhhhh(:
Haha remember all the crap we talked in the tuanbu after ATC pre-camp inspection last year?
They seem so long ago, yet they aren't O.o
Look forward to more fun with you! :D

Michelle the koala bear! :D
Seemed so long ago too...

And happy birthday to Teo Ee and Selina too!(:
Wow so many birthdays today haha.

2009-02-22T13:49:00.002+08:00

Happy Thinking day! and Happy Birthday Jiawen♥

Thinking Day Celebration at Kallang Indoor Stadium yesterday!
Thank you for all the Thinking Day presents!
Time flies D:
I still remember last year before the Thinking Day celebration, p6 had lunch at KFC.
And we presented Jiawen her birthday presents.
And now one year has passed ):
One year ago, Jiawen and Jia Jia had not passed down yet.
One year ago, Cheng Yee had not left for VJC yet.
One year ago, our cute sec1s were not with us yet.
One year ago, our juniors were still juniors.
One year ago, I never imagined that I'd be in 3J.
One year ago, I never knew what it was like to be in sec3.
One year ago, my world only revolved around very trivial things.
and many more.
One year later, so much has changed.

Wonder what will happen in the next one year?
hmmm.
That's not for me to answer.
Not for you to find out.
It's for us to just wait and see what God has in plan for us :D

2009-02-19T21:07:00.002+08:00

Haha I was just looking at some of my archives of 2006, 2007 and 2008.
I practically laughed my head off hahahahahaha.
Can't believe that I used to be such a results-oriented girl.
Such a conceited, pompous, and self-centred bimbo in sec1 and 2.
I mean all of us have egos, but from my archives, it was really a super extreme kind haha.
And I shall not delete these archives of my past, because it is a testimony of how God can work miracles to change me ever since I stepped into Y-hope.
The first day I stepped into Y-hope was on my birthday 30th May!
But the first time I officially accepted Christ was on 7th June, so that's my spritual birthday yeah!(:

I shall not be ashamed to show the world my past.
haha.
But it's very awkward luh :X
But yeah I emphasise that you don't judge my past kay?(:

Haha maybe I should print all of them out and compile it into a book for myself lol.
LOL sorry being random.

I'm loving 3J more and more each day.
It's not that bad as I first made it out to be
Such a fun and friendly bunch of people.
Where I can scream as loud as I want and nobody cares cos the classroom is so big and it's open air-ed.
LOL.
But I miss 2K too.
♥ 2K'08, 3J'09 (:

2009-02-18T21:23:00.003+08:00

Wow in 1 week I have failed 2 tests.
Maths pop quiz - 7/20
Geog common test - 6/15
And you know what, I applied and have just gotten a confirmed offer into the most prestigious club of all.
*drum rolls*
*drum rolls*
*drum rolls*

*The F.A.I.L club!!!*

Come on mann it's the most prestigious club ever.
F.A.I.L stands for Failings Are Important Lessons!
Oh come on yes they are.
We all make mistakes.
All we need to do is to learn from them and not make them again.
Sounds cliche yeah?
But it's better to fail now during pop quizzes and common tests than to fail during EOYs(:
And I wanna thank God for guiding me in the right way of handling failures, and not letting my emotions get the better of me.
So hence I shall not emo over it yay! :D
I should rejoice that there's no more tests this week!
(I hope)

2009-02-15T15:12:00.006+08:00

"Earn respect, not demand." - (Leo Zhen Ling, Tailored For Cherisse, Tailored For Sally, 2009 February 10)

This shall be a famous quote.
It will be a famous quote.
Yay zhenling is my new idol! ♥
Thanks for giving me that quote!!!! :DDDDDDD

So now we can use this quote to suan some specific guys who think that they can demand respect from others just by saying they can pump 100.
Ask nicholette and michelle who this person is.
Oh no no no no.
There's no need to trumpet your ability to the whole world.
There's no need for a massive parade held in Dunman High School to showcase your ability.
We ain't interested in what you can do.
What matters most is what you strive to do.
Despite it being beyond your ability.
That is what will earn my respect for you.

2009-02-14T21:34:00.003+08:00

In a blink of an eye, CUGC was over.
It seemed like just a dream.
So quick.
So swift.
So vague.
It was over just like that.
The fire went off.
The lights came on.
It was time to go home.
I stopped at bedok.
Met my juniors just before I left for the mrt.
Then I alighted at simei.
And started walking home.
Then a wave of emotion swept over me.
The after effects of campfire.
But somehow, this campfire caused the strongest after effects.
I stared up at the sky.
It was so beautiful.
I started thinking.
3 weeks ago we were practising.
And now it has ended?
I simply didn't believe it'd be that quick.
All the fun I had during practises.
The super duper irritating and weird but kawaii sec2s.
Campfire was over?
Then it started to sink in.
It was.
Haiz.
Hoped everyone enjoyed it too.
And when I reached home and forwarded an sms on behalf of weixin and me, an sms to thank the SLs, I thought about how many afternoons and mornings they had sacrificed.
And most of them were only at the start of sec2.
At the stage of adapting to senior life.
When I was at the start of sec2 did I stay back that much?
No I don't recall lol.
In sec2 I was still a super duper noob who was AFRAID of my own sec1s.
What more be a songleader in front of them?
I don't think I would have dared to do it as a new sec2.

And then I realised.
3 weeks to coj.
2 1/2 months to pltc.
Then I remembered zhenling and pearlyn.
Remembered p6.
Then I thought, "crap, what if I leave p6? D:"
I had this very strong feeling that I wouldn't stay in p6.
sigh.
I'm sorry dear juniors.
I'm sorry Sally.
But the feeling is THAT strong.
I don't wanna leave p6 either D:

2009-02-11T21:40:00.004+08:00

Today I wanna thank Janet and Sheena for organising Angel & Mortal for us!!!!
I love that game.
It's so cool okay.
So fun to bluff your mortal.
And spam her messages and presents.
Pretending that you are the messenger when you are actually the Angel.
And laughing at the shocked expression on your Mortal's face when the truth is out.
I've been Caris's, Sher Min's, Zi Ying's and Zong Long's Angel before in Kezo.
So cool!!! ;D

But you know today when drawing the names.
I got a shock of my life.
When I opened the piece of paper with my Mortal's name in it.
I got a big big big big shock.
You wanna know what it said?

C-H-E-R-I-S-S-E.
My own name!!!!!!!!

Actually, no.
Shan't be so stupid to tell you who ;D

Anyway cherisse's angel, whoever you are, if you happen to look here.

Pls pls pls I hope you would look here haha ;D
I've got a present for you too!
Since friendship day is coming ;D
Contact Sally and get it from her on Friendship Day!!! :D
Hope my angel really reads this!!!

Anyway I've been wanting to post something for quite a while but I don't know how to put it.
I'm really really sorry to the sec3 Sjab SLs if you all got the message about being 'kicked out'.
I mean we really don't mean 'kick out'.
We understand that you guys got some extra stuff etc so you all can't make it for practises and stuff.
that's why the seniors got the sec2s to go.
Really hope you guys will understand that it doesn't mean 'kick out'.
You guys are important too(:
So I'm very sorry if you all think that we are trying to erm show superiority over you guys?
Really hope this will clear it up(:

2009-02-10T21:51:00.002+08:00

whoo congrats I'm halfway through the hiong chiong week!
Oh next week is the spam test week D:
Maths common test, Jap common test, Chem common test.
SIGHHHHHHHHH.
3 tests in a week.
God will pull me through :D

2009-02-08T20:52:00.002+08:00

As the end of this week draws near, I'm glad that it is the end of my jin suay week.
Yet, it's the start of my hiong chiong week.
Chionging projects, songleader pracs, F-day and bday cards + pressies, etc.
But I'm gonna feel so much joy doing all these cos God lives in me.
My faith must never be wavered.
Never ever ever.

Hmm anyway since it's the week of valentines', I shall post a very powerful chapter from the bible here.
It's called the love chapter: 1 corinthians 13
And disclaimer: it is not totally about THAT kind of love that you are thinking of okay.

1 Corinthians 13

1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+13#en-NIV-28651

Powerful chapter yeah.
haha.

2009-02-07T17:49:00.004+08:00

Everyone around me is so emo D:
The people who talk to me, the blogs I read, the people who tag, msn, sms me.
Some people are emoing over results.
Academics and all that clap.
My poor sheep.
Well I should stop complaining about my results, cos I myself know that results are not everything.
Of course I know that A+ is not an easy feat in sec3, but yeah I still get pressurised here and there by some geniuses aka Sally who get A+ for every single test.
But no, my faith shall not be wavered.
People emoing over their results shall not affect me.
I shall stand firm in God.
I musn't go back to my sec2 days when I cried over that stupid History EOY clap.

2009-02-01T21:05:00.002+08:00

Things weren't going my way sigh...
but you know what I wanna thank God for something that just happened.
You know at first I wanted to go play ball with my dear guides mateys tomorrow morning at around 715.
Then after that suddenly I got an sms from Jess about prayer meet at 730.
Then I was like...
Cos I was thinking what if the venue was like at the 4th or 5th level open area, then I have to leave like 5 minutes earlier from the court.
Then 10 minutes only.
Then what if we start late.
But I know it's wrong to think that way.
Disclaimer: please don't judge me yeah.
Just that you know how would you feel if you planned something and suddenly you gotta change plans?
I am not perfect, it's not every single time when I see serving God as a joy.
how many of you can say that you are 100% of the time happy when doing ministry?
nope right?
We're all not perfect(:
But the main point is I just got an sms from Jess that the prayer meet would be held at the netball court!!
Which is near where I would be playing with my guides mateys!
which means I can make the most out of my time with them!
Praise God!

Sometimes.
Sometimes.
Sometimes.
I wish I had a mask.
You know a mask to cover my face.
At least cover the top half of my face.
And I think I'd look much more friendly in a mask :D
LOL.
I was just thinking.
If everyone had masks on their faces, then no one can judge us by our outward appearance!
Isn't that better?
Then we would be seen for who we really are :D
Not what people think we are.
Then the phrase "looks are deceiving" will be void!
Then no one will be deceived by what is on the outside!
And no one will be criticised by what is on the outside!
And no one will even give a kia of what is on the outside!
People, my fellow countrymen, you are saving yourself from being hurt.
L. Change the world.
Wear masks!!!!!

LOL sorry I'm crapping away again.
bye!!!

2009-01-31T21:35:00.003+08:00

Hello today I shall post about foooooooooood!!!!
It seems like I have never ever ever posted anything about food yeah?
I love food wheeee!!!!

LOL today we had eastbc reunion lunch.
Individual steamboat kind of thing.
At Hotpot culture.
Ate and ate and ate and ate!
And including desserts!
Fondue ahhhhh....
Ice cream.....
LOL.
And than we changed some worship songs to dedicate to food.
LOL.
Like "I will live to ~~love~~ eat you" and etc etc.

Anyway today I went for my very very very first y-hope choir practise before service.
With Sam(:
quite fun cos the songs we sang were very nice.
The part about harmonisation was difficult but the result was really nice.
I love it! :D

Whooo I got another sheep :D
Hui hsien!!!!
Now both of my sheeps are from 2Helea.
Don't you think it's so coincidental?
2H was the class I was posted to during their orientation last year.
As in of course they were called 1Helea last year luh.
And now BOTH sheeps are from 2H!
It's probably another of God's plans :D
Never by chance.

Anyway I shall post about CNY dinner on Friday!
With P6!
We had so much fun laughing over teachers, school stuff and................and................and....................ZISHAN!!!!! :D
YAY!
LOL.
Her deepest darkest secrets and unglam moments O.o
If you wanna know then come find me or any P6 peeps personally :D
LOL.
Anyway we had fun spamming one another with balls.
I know what you are thinking okay.
Sicko.
I meant meatballs, fishballs, sotong balls, etc.
And spammnig one another with soup, meat, fish, etc.
And for me to peel prawns lol.
You know what, Sally and Amanda can't peel prawns!!!
And they still laughed at me for peeling prawns slowly O:
It's the demure way okay!!!
Sighs.
I don't want P6 to split up D:

2009-01-29T20:10:00.002+08:00

Okay I totally screwed the HCL newspaper article presentation today -.-
From the very beginning it went haywire.
Thank God it was the last period.
Thank God is so over now phew.
Okay here goes.

Cherisse: 早安!
Some classmates: *chuckles a little*
Cherisse: (wonders why...then looks at the clock) oh oh 午安 sorry sorry!
Cherisse: (*blah blah blah* until the last part: 所以我非常感谢我的父母亲...)
Singrue: *laughs out loud and comments*
Cherisse: (can't help but laugh)
And thus the whole thing just got screwed with my laughing ahhhh.
So relieved when it was over.
I think today my brain was really not working in sync with my mouth.

Anyway some interesting things during songleaders'...

Cherisse: *innocently* (with hand actions for "Father Abraham") So u all will go "out in out in out".
Everybody: hahahahahahahahahaha
Cherisse: huh what? Why u all laugh?
One of them: (does the ahem *you know what I mean*) out in out in out!
Everybody: hahahahahahahahahaha omg sick!
Weixin: Cherisse you see luh! All your fault! :D
Cherisse: -.-

Eileen: So the "titanic" actions how?
Jing Yee: do like that for the part "that the waters can't go through" (with ahem hmmm sound effects)
Everybody: hahahahahahahahahahaha omg sick!

Lol quite fun haha.
Don't know why today they were suddenly so high.

It's the end of the week wheeee!!!! :D

2009-01-27T16:25:00.002+08:00

Tomorrow's back to school O.o
sianzz.
Well it's celebaration tomorrow so no lessons whee!
Got songleaders' after that.

Can't believe February is coming so soon.
It's like yesterday when it was Christmas.
And now it's just less than 5 days from February.

Well my wish for the new year would be that people don't judge my past.
What's gone is gone.
Let's move on people.
Everytime something reminds me of my past, I'd feel really awkward.
*does the awkward turtle action*
Yeah for more insights you can always pop by at my archives.
Especially the 2007/2008 ones.
That's already done and gone.
All the emo posts and whatnots, they are all in the past.
Put them behind you if you haven't.
You can read them and joke over them but.
Don't use them to judge my present life or my future.
Thank you(:

Anyways I've finished most of the homework due on thurs.
But for the other deadlines?
Nonono you don't talk about that D:
LOL.

2009-01-24T21:30:00.003+08:00

It's piling up like a mountain and suffocating me.
I can't breathe mann...
But I've started on some(:

Anyway today I learnt a new catchline from my sheep.
I am so inspired by her.
Well, shepherding is a two way process, you learn from your sheep and your sheep learns from you :D
Cos today Jess said Siyao was the beauty queen of Eastbee2 for this week, and that we would do whatever she asked us to.
Then siyao said, "I am a leader to serve, not a leader to be served"
Then we all went, "woahhhhh!!!!"
hahahahahaha.
Yup that shall be added to my list of quotable quotes! :D

Printing songleaders' song lyrics now lol.
The songleaders' list changed again.
For guides it's still the same.
But the other UGs like changed quite a few.
So now I'm not very sure who's in it either lol.

Here's something very random but true:
5 reasons why Cherisse is not considered a genius:
1) She once commented on a pigeon,"wow that bird has a big tummy, isit pregnant?" -.- (you should know that birds lay eggs, and she only realised it after she made that comment)
2) She got 15/20 for her maths pop quiz, the class average was 16.8, which means she's below average. (but she ain't sad)
3) She took 15 minutes to correctly pronounce a junior's name.
4) She didn't get any overall A+s for any subjects last year.
5) She took 1 week to understand the difference between primary and secondary industry.

hahaha lol.
every ounce of it is true :D
and you know what.
I got this from the internet -.-

Anyway happy CNY to everyone!!!! :D
Let's enjoy!
Eat eat eat!
Wish me happy rolling to school next Wednesday! :D

Haven't worn my uniform for 498767864728462784687462378 years.
Our chair had better work tomorrow.

For all kinds of purposes.
All weather.
Whee!

Anyway got PE tomorrow.

I shall not care as long as the teacher doesn't trumpet my height and weight out loud.
Not like last year that Mr Siva go say the height and weight out so loud.
It's meant to be kept confidential -.-

For all you know there might be a heavy bone heredity in my family :D

Today was really a happening day.
It was the day when I had to step out of my comfort zone(s).

In chronological order:
First lesson was maths.
Then our teacher wanted someone to go up to the whiteboard to write his/her answer for a question.
Nobody volunteered.
The whole class stoned for about a minute or so.
Then she was getting a bit pissed.
Usually if nobody volunteered, I wouldn't either lol.
I have never ever ever volunteered to do a maths question on the board.
I don't know why today something jsut pushed me to go up and do it.
I was really scared okay.
Like I said, I have never volunteered to do any maths question.
Unless teacher called me up but that's not counted.
Great.
I've done something for the first time.

After recess was PC lesson.
But since the notes weren't ready yet, we did some class admin stuff.
Then our form teacher suddenly said she wanted to change places.
And as you know I used to be sitting in a very comfy area with people I know all around me.
My classmates, cca mates, jap class mates and etc.
Then he lao shi moved me all the way to the front to sit next to a PRC called Zi Jun.
She is really really friendly(:
But yeah it's another step out of another comfort zone cos now I have no choice but to use chinese to converse with her during lessons.
And I have never ever ever spoken a single sentence of chinese during lessons.
Even chinese lessons.
Unless I'm being told by the teacher to share my answer with the class.
Okay so now I'm gonna start trying to adapt.

After PC was HCL.
We had this game that was similar to charates.
A chengyu or ciyu would be flashed on the screen, and 1 ~~lucky~~ unlucky chosen person would either have to act it out if it was act-able, if not just explain it.

And so he lao shi called the first group of people to stand up and play it one by one, then you can sit down.
The people with short hair and without specs.
Then the second batch of people.
The people with collar pins -.-
And as you know I have that guides trefoil pinned on my left collar.
It beautifies the uniform okayy.
But today it got me in trouble.
I have never ever ever done weird actions or played charates in front of my class before.
I mean a class which I'm new too.
So today it's my first time playing charates.
3 comfort zones ahh.

Anyway you know for UG campfire?
All UG people in 2K '08 are songleaders.
If Zong Long is inside too then whoohoo we have 2K UG reunion.
LOL sorry I'm being lame again :D
shall be a good studious girl and go do jap e-learning :D

2009-01-12T21:30:00.003+08:00

Hi.
My day has been rounier-ed.
Thanks alot Claire.
As in thanks alot for telling me that today(:
Rather than another time when I hear it.
I think Claire is also feeling D: now lol.
You guys don't want to hear what it's all about.
Really.
I wouldn't want to dampen your spirits y'know.
Why not you guys wait for the official realisation time.
Then you guys will know what I'm talking about.
Right now, no details shall be revealed for privacy's sake :D
And really let me warn you.
You DON'T want to hear it.
Cos it'll make your jaw drop.
Your eyes buldge.
Your eyelid twitch.
Your eyebrows raise.
Your nose expand.
Sounds exaggerating ain't it.
In fact, I under-exaggaerated it.
You really don't want to look into a mirror after hearing what I heard today.
hahahaha lol okay luh.
I over-exaggerated it.
It's not that bad after all.
Really.
If you think properly.
But that depends on how you view it.
You see, I'm just applying what I learnt I geog today.
To cater to all kinds of customers.
In this case, there are the optimistic ones and the pessimistic ones.
I'm just being a good industrialist to cater my linguistics to both types(:
Choose which type you want to take in to your ears :D

anyway why not let's talk about happier upcoming stuff?
Like the combined UG campfire on 13th Feb?
When two of my sexy juniors, Amanda and Ruo Ling MIGHT be dancing the UG dance they did on Homecoming Day? :D
that's something to look forward to whee haha.

2009-01-11T12:48:00.002+08:00

Parents' school tour over wheee.
But I heard.
HEARD.
There's another tour on 19th Jan or something like that for year 3 and 4 parents?
Hahahahaha was joking with Claire that she'd get to meet her 3 pairs of in-laws :D
Powerpuff girls parents wheeeee!!!!
LOL sorry I'm being lame O.o

Then I tell you ah.
That michelle teo mi xue was abit lame during the break before the school tour.
Abit only.
In the canteen.
Michelle and Claire were asking me how I learned to sew.
Then talk and talk suddenly she said "你是 XX 的!"
Then the people around us all looked at me.
Crap luh Michelle!!!!
You are living in the non existent world mann :D
Don't any of you dare to mention that name in front of me argh :X
And for all who heard it, this disclaimer is that it is all nonsense.
Just like Claire and powerpuff girls.
All nonsense also.
Thanks for your understanding(:

Anyway just wanna say thanks to the parents for their encouragement!!! :D
Yayness.
LOL and guess what.
What?
They are interested for their daughters to join guides lol.
They asked Ms Tang alot of stuff about us.
And we said it was very fun :D

And it ends like 3+ for Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
But yeah this is year 3 life so I have nothing to say.
I shall be nice and not complain :D

Very scared luh.
I don't know why.
I feel a little uneasy now.
Like a premonition of something bad that's gonna happen.
But anyways perhaps I'm just thinking too much.

Anyway on monday I bought a guitar from Sing Rue cos she didn't need anymore.
So I tried abit.
Fingers hurt.
But it's normal haha.
