Today, my family celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival (MAF)! Goodie, I love MAF! I shall elaborate some other time but let me just post the photos taken first. :)

Some lanterns. :)


This is a colourful lantern that I especially like! :)


More lanterns in different colours, just that it isn't very obvious in this photo... -_-

More candles.

My two younger cousins playing with the candles too. :)

The lights are actually the lanterns hung onto a string, ya know? Haha, ok. (These are not my lanterns in the above photo.)

Btw, you seem to notice that all the lanterns that I took were the traditional ones, huh? Yup, we carry the traditional ones instead of the kiddish ones with the music which is very irritating sometimes. =.= And these photos were taken in Bishan Park 2, which is just right in front of my house! :D

I AM SO EXCITED!!! *GASP, GASP.*

I don't think I wanna say it out here now, but I have 2 reasons on why I'm happy ecstatic.

1. TARA 3 IS PREMIERING THIS THURSDAY, just 2-and-a-half days to go! WHOOHOO~

2. I think I shall not say the second reason cos it's not very convenient to shout it out loud here... Haha. xD

Okay, I figured I might as well talk about sthg too, since I'm here already. Yes, rmb to view the photos that I just posted below. :)

Today is Saturday, the end of Saturday. And it's also the end of the hols! OH NOOO! THE END OF YEAR EXAM IS JUST A SHEER 2 WEEKS AWAY! NOOOO! I want more time for revision! Ok, I shall stop talking about the exams. I think I should be able to be on task if I cut down on the duration that I use the computer. xD

Anyway, TARA 3 SEEMS LIKE IT'S GONNA BE NICE! :D I'm really looking forward to it. They says that it's the 'toughest race ever'. Who knows whether what they say is true! (The 'they' is the TV. Haha.) And guess what, Sarah told me that the 13th season of TAR (US) is also debuting late this month, 29th September! WHOOHOO! I get to watch 2 TARs now! But there are 2 disadvantages. One, is that I might get confused with the 2 races, one with the original US version and the Asia version, since both are showing at the same period, every Monday and Thursday respectively. Second, is that it's screening during the exam period! NOOOOO! I think I should be able to watch, but I'll kinda get distracted! Hopefully I'll still be able to have a clear and focused mind for revision. :)

Yes, yes, yes. The hols have almost com eto an end. I shall say that I've done many things during this one-week break, both useful and not-so-useful. Haha. Anyway, it's ok. I believe that everyone needs to take a rest, like what I'm doing now. :)
Great. Today, I'm really gonna post RANDOM pictures. I don't care. XD

Yay, this is 1I! I LOVE 1I! <333This pic is so cool! It's made up of foooood. :) My brother made it a few months ago... Haha.

Yes, this picture was taken a long, long time ago - during Cross Country! Haha!

This too, a group photo. :)


Another one. :)

Hmm... sorry, this picture is placed at the wrong angle. X( Hope you can understand it. :) (It looks as if my brother is falling off a cliff and he's hanging on to the rock for his dear life! Haha!)

This is the Henderson Wave. It's very nice, the design, but quite boring over there... I went there quite some time ago, in around June. Yes, I know I'm posting very old photos...

Townsville! :D

Also from Townsville Primary School, this is the pond! The nice, nice pond. :) Now these are the more recent photos. :)

Who wants to sit in this race car from the Formula One being held in Singapore this month? Looks very elaborate... Btw, I went to Science Centre Singapore (SCS) on Tuesday and taken some photos. One of them is the above.

Another car taken from the SCS. But I'm sure this is not the race car, maybe just a sports car.

Hmm, this picture shows a 'pop-up' kelong (house on stilts), on the surface of the water. Can you tell? There's also a sea creature underneath, probably a shark or a whale.

ROARRR! Does this dinosaur look scaryyy? Haha, I know it doesn't. -_- But it's kinda nice, quite detailed.

HUMPHHHH. Now this dinosaur might look fierceee. How's that? Haha, I took at a very clever angle huh? Nah, just kidding. :) But this photo is very funny, with the dinosaur staring straight in your eye, with its sharp teeth jutting, almost as if it's real and going to eat you up. Haha! :)
Okay, that's it for my photo gallery for now. I wonder when's the next time I'll be posting some more photos. Probably not so soon, cos I'll be busy preparing for the exams! (I'm trying not to say the word 'mugging' cos Alicia mentioned that mugging is not good for our health. Haha! xD) See ya! :)

ARGHHH! THIS COMPUTER IS VERY IRRITATING! What seems to be the problem? I can't access the window to adding images to this post! Argh. Forget. I thought I could finally post pics after a long, long while. Haiz, never mind.

Anyway, TODAY IS THE DAY! TARA 3, RACERS REVEALED! SEPTEMBER 4TH, 9PM, ONLY ON AXN! YAY, YAY, YAY! I've been waiting so long for this day to come. Finally they're going to reveal who the racers are. I've seen the Singaporean team, and they look like men, just that I heard from somewhere that they are women! So confusing! Uptill now, I still don't know whether both of them are men or women. =.= Haha. On the other hand, they don't seem to be very sporty, unlike the previous team, Adrian and Collin, where they won! (Yay!) This time round, I doubt the Singaporean representative will go far, frankly speaking. Haha! But I'd still love to watch the whole race! :D Oh, I pity Sarah. She doesn't have access to AXN so she can't watch this episode... It's ok Sarah, you won't miss out on much. :)

Oh goodie, it's gonna start soon! :D Gotta run!

Okay, get set for a very loooooooooooong post!

Friday
Teachers' Day celebrations! First, in Cedar, we started off with the morning games like Pictionary, Taboo, Charades, Scrabble, Soccer, Captain's Ball and Basketball. I played Pictionary with my friends against 1C. It was a bit boring. =.= I think if they used the actual board game then it'll be more fun. :)
After the game, we got attracted to the outdoor games like soccer and captain's ball cos there were many people watching it --- more like watching how the teachers play. XD Actually, I wanted to play Captain's Ball but there were many people 'queueing' up for it so I decided to give it a miss.
There was only half an hour left so my friends and I went to look for the teachers and gave their gifts/cards to them. Mrs Menon was so kind! Haha.
Next, me and Xin Yu had to go and get ready for the giving of gifts to the teachers. I gave to Mr Chan, of course, while Xin Yu gave to Ms Chye and Si Min gave to Mdm Koh. Mr Chan was still carrying the camera around his neck so Xin Yu and I were trying to advise him to put it aside first cos we'll be standing in front of the audience! Haha. Ya, and I WALKED DOWN THE RED CARPET! Hahaha!
The performance was quite nice. I like the dance. It was so cool! I saw my senior there. :) There were so many prizes and awards to be won and I can't believe that MR ANG K.J. WON THE MOST DEDICATED TEACHER AWARD! I didn't know that he's that super and great to win that honour. Hmm... perhaps he really is? But only his students can tell. -_- I bet Wan Ting was screaming and screaming in joy. :) Haha.
Then finally, they showed the videos that we, the monitresses did! IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING! VERY EMBARRASSING! But I was still laughing and laughing at what I did when it was screened in front of the whole school! It was really very hilarious! Hahaha!

After we're being released (at 11.45?!), me, Charmaine, Xin Yu and Jeslyn walked to the bus stop and took 853 together. (What a coincidence.) Xin Yu, as usual, alighted at Potong Pasir MRT to go back to Edgefield Primary while Jeslyn sat the bus all the way to Castle Green to visit Anderson Primary. (What a very long journey!) Me and Charmaine sat till we reached Townsville, of course. We saw Winnie Wong at the bus stop. I forgot that she was waiting for us! I feel guilty to make her wait for us.... (Sorry!)
When I stepped inside the school, I was quite shocked. There were so many people there! And for a moment, I didn't see anyone familiar, either because I didn't know them or they changed in their appearance! At first, I feel a bit out of place. :/ But when I went to the canteen, I saw many people that I know. :) Ying Rong, Kendrick, Ting Wei, Jayner, Xin Mei, Wen Hui, Metis and even Shi Min! Shi Min changed a lot! Haha, as in the appearance. She cut her hair and I think she lost weight. Then when I saw Ying Rong, I got quite a shock because I grew much taller than her than when we were in P6! Okay, I'm not being rude or insulting though. XD But I felt a sense of satisfaction. :)
Later, we just hanged around and chatted with some old teachers and old friends, even though we're not so close to one another. 陈老师 is so nice! As usual, she gave a lot of advice on studying hard and all. :) Then Ying Rong decided to call Yi Jiao and ask her where she was, when she was already at the back gate. Haha. Yi Jiao grew taller! But her face didn't really change. :)
Saw Mdm Lizan and chatted with her as one huge group of about 15 ppl?! Haha.
Chin Gee finally came and she is still the same! She didn't really change a lot. Maybe grew a bit taller. :)
We met 钟老师 and she is still the same too! Also very encouraging, asking us how's our life in secondary school , 我们是否面对很多压力等等. She gave us her contact no. :) We also signed up to be a Townsville Alumni! :)
Besides me and Charmaine, I saw 2 other ppl wearing the same uniform as us! That is Ying Jie, my sister's friend, and one other Sec 4 girl. :)))
I think Townsville changed a lot now that we have a new principal. The school looks more beautiful when the walls are given a new facelift. :) TVPS looks more fresh and interesting now. :D Yay!
After staying on for some more time, me, Yi Jiao, Chin Gee and Ying Rong walked out together to a McDonalds to eat. But Yi Jiao didn't eat with us. She went home. When we're halfway eating through our meal, Jayner and co. came. I SPILLED MILO ON MY TIE AND SKIRT! A little bit, not really a lot, but it's enough to stain my skirt! Argh!
After eating, I took 88 home. HOME SWEET HOME~
Actually, it's quite a pity that Ms Lee didn't go back to TVPS. But Yi Lin said she saw her at J8 recently.

Saturday
Went swimming in the morning. Reached there at around 11.15, when the weather was so hot! But I still swam, of course, but I think that I swim better at Kallang Basin there! Haha, I sort of feel that I can kick better there. Haha, I know that it's a very weird kind of thinking, probably it's just psychogically (don't know how to spell) thinking?
Went back home to study and revise, then went out for dinner.
Just a simple day. :)

Sunday
Nothing much happened on this day. Went for piano lesson and practised my aural. My aural needs to be improved a lot! I can't seem to rmb the tune so I cannot clap out the rhythm properly! :( Argh!
The rest of the time I was studying. But later, when my father came back from STTA, he said that Feng Tianwei was there training with Liu Guodong and Gao Ning! Wow! What a coincidence! And my brother was training in front of Feng T.W. too! Hahaha! I bet he must be feeling very pressurised. ^^ Unfortunately, when we went there to pick my brother up, they already left. :( I thought I could see a Olympic Silver Medallist live in front of my eyes, what's more representing Singapore! Haha, but the people said that they might come back again next week.

Monday (today)
Studied and studied and studied the whole morning. I spent A LOT OF TIME on just 4 SBQ questions for History! The amount of time taken is very shocking, so I shall not say it here. :) I think I put in a lot of effort in answering the questions right. :D But what matters is that will I be able to do such things during the exam? THE TIME MATTERS A LOT!
After lunch, I carried on with English compre and boy, was it tiring! The passage was long and difficult to digest! And the summary too, so tiring and confusing. But, I perservered and FINALLY FINISHED IT! YAY!
That's why I am here now, blogging about what happened in the past few days. Hope you have enjoyed reading this! :) Bye!
