Great, I can FINALLY post on blogger. I've been using the desktop for the past few times and it's can't 'locate' blogger.

Monday
Met up with Xin Yu to discuss homework. Ok, more like I want to 'consult' her about Chinese and Geog. I'm so glad I finally clarified all my doubts so I can quickly finish up my homework!

Tuesday
Went to school for PC AGM. Also had a briefing about Orientation. Then we exchanged encouraging letters to PCs of other levels. I mostly received from the EXCO members, but it's better than nothing, so, thanks! :)

Wednesday
Christmas Eve! Hah, but went to Tampines Mall in the afternoon to meet up with my auntie and brother. Wow, the mall is huge! Ok, at least bigger than J8, considering that it's only a neighbourhood shopping centre. (But I'm sure if I go TM often, I'll get bored of it. xD) Then my cousins and brother wanted to go to Timezone. Haiz, it's so noisy in there. But Zone X is nicer cos there're more games. 

I spent the evening onwards at my other auntie's house for a 'Christmas dinner'. Played some games and watched TV. Ate log cake. :) 

Thursday
Merry Christmas! Hohoho, in the morning, I did some 《小王子》stuff. I'm beginning to get the hang of it! FINALLY! 

Then in the late afternoon, I went to my cousin's house for a gathering cum birthday celebration. This time round since there're more ppl, we played Werewolf and it's sthg like Maffia but there're more characters. Yay, so fun! 

Friday
FIRST DAY OF ORIENTATION! :D Yay, the most-awaited Sec 1 Orientation Camp 2009 is finally here! Had to report early at 6.45, yet there were a few Sec 1s there already! So early! 

I'm the 2nd I/C of 1C, and we (the I/Cs) encountered some problems today. :( It was quite embarrassing, cos we're the leaders and seniors and should be modelling the way for them! Hahaha, anyway, learn from our mistakes! 

1C is still quite shy, and they haven't had a proper self introduction yet! But after all, the time was a bit rush so I hope Monday won't be like this... :X First day of Orientation is always like that. I remember when it was my year, it was the same! Quiet, shy, and 'unwilling to speak'. Er, maybe not unwilling, but not daring enough. However, I'm sure it'll be ok for the next few days and hopefully 1C will be very bonded! :D

In the mid-afternoon, I went to Science Centre with my family to see the 'Magic Exhibition'. It was interesting and some of them are related to Science or optical illusion.

Saturday (today)
Did homework in the morning. I really hope I can finish 《小王子》on time! :) After having a late lunch, we went to a friend's house. As it is in Punggol, there is a huge piece of land in front of her flat and after that is the sea already. The scenery is quite nice as there are no blockings. At about 6, we went down to the huge piece of land to fly kites! Haha, there were people flying remote-controlled aeroplanes too. The wind today wasn't as strong as the other days so only one of our kites could fly. And that was my family's kite. Haha. The other one was bigger and heavier, so I guess there must be more wind to make it fly up. Anyway, the sky was very nice and beautiful and blue. Let's see if it's possible to see from the images below. 

The kite on the right is mine. (:

Can you see my family's kite? Hah, it's the tiny speck in the middle of the photo. It really flew very high. :)
This picture is taken from her flat. Looks like it's in another country huh?


This is taken on the road! I was crossing the road and saw that it was so empty that I decided to take a picture of it! Ok, don't follow me cos I know it's dangerous. xD

Yeah, that's basically what I did for the week. Enjoy your last few days of holiday! :)

Saturday
Grandma's house! Went there for lunch and all the other cousins also came. We played 'Maffia extended' and it's fun! But you need at least 7 or 8 ppl to play the game. 

After that I went to Bras Basah Complex! Yayyy! I love that place cos of the HUGE Popular there. We were buying assessment books. There were A LOT, I tell you! So nice! (:

Then we headed to Far East Plaza. I've never been there before so I'm quite excited to see how it looks like (interior) and what shops there are. I heard it's a place for teenagers also. But when I went there, I realised that only Level One has the 'nice' shops. When I went upstairs, I saw electronic shops and didn't see a lot of fashion shops. So I didn't walk upstairs. Bought shoes! (:

Sunday (today)
I just came back from a mini Christmas meeting with my Primary School friends, Yi Lin and Wei Hui. We met at J8, walked around, then they wanted to eat Haagen Dazs ice cream. Then we went to KFC to snack. But I bought my own Sugar Roll! :D 

Since we're bored of J8, we went over to AMK Hub. Took a train there, even though it's only one stop away. xD We took neoprints (again) cos we wanted to try out the 'new' booth. It is a different one now and at first I thought it was very cram, but after taking I find it quite nice, the photos are all right and the decorating system is okay too. Then they wanted to take once more! Hah, nvm. It's quite fun, this booth. (:

Today, 7.55pm, Channel 5/National Stadium, SINGAPORE VS VIETNAM! Hahaha, let's hope Singapore wins! :D

Friday, December 19, 2008

I went to Parkway Parade. Even though it's located in the neighbourhood, I think it's quite a good place to shop cos there are many interesting shops there. The Borders there is much nicer than the one at Wheelock Place although it's smaller. The children's section has a wider collection! Then I ate the Anderson's of Denmark ice cream! But I still prefer the New Zealand's Natural one. (:

Orange.

Today is December 16th. 17 more days till school reopens. And that's only around 2 more weeks! Geesh! :(

I don't know what to post! I guess this shall be it for now.

Monday, December 15, 2008

Owww... It's pain!

School's gonna reopen soon. Haiz. And I'm still trying to finish IT. 

Just found out yesterday another place for shopping. xD Yea, I know I shouldn't be thinking of going out already cos the holidays are ending...

I don't know what to post already! I think this shall be it for now. (:

Today I went shopping! :D

Went with Jeslyn, Sabrina and Regina. Xin Yu couldn't go cos she wasn't feeling very well... :( But today was very fun! We met at bugis mrt first then went for lunch. After that, we walked at Bugis Street/Village.


It's my first time there you know? I sound so suah gu (ignorant)! My friends have described that place to me a lot of times and make me even more anxious to go there!

Finally I went there and it was very crowded! Ok, it would be more crowded on a weekend. There are many, many shops/stalls selling things like clothes (shirts, pants, shorts, jeans, skirts), shoes, bags (and wallets), watches and accessories (earring, necklace etc). All the things on sale are for teenagers, and I mean ALL. It is indoor but not air-conditioned and there are three storeys.


We walked around the first level and there are sooo many things to see! I intended to buy a 'Little Miss' shirt there and of course, there were quite a lot of shops that sell it. However, I wanted to compare the prices first so I decided to walk around the whole complex before choosing the final one.

There were prices like 1 for $12, 1 for $10, 2 for $20 and so on. I wanted to buy two cos it would be more worth the money but I didn't have that much money with me... So in the end, I came to this stall and they sold the shirt at a lower price, so I decided to buy it. (I tried to bargain for a slightly lower price but in the end, the shop owner accidentally gave me a 10-cent discount! xD)

Yea, after that we went to the second level. It's air-conditioned! We were so glad cos it was quite stuffy downstairs! :P Anyway, I saw a very nice accessories shop on the second level! :) We went up to the third storey but it was so small and quiet that we immediately came down again! Haha!

We walked back to Bugis Junction to eat McDonalds (teabreak) and let our legs have a break. xD

--- Shall continue tmr. :) ---

Continued from yesterday...

We wanted to take neoprints already but me and Jeslyn didn't want to take it at Bugis cos we always go there to take and I wanna go to Orchard Cineleisure to see. Jeslyn also wanted to go to Orchard area. So we took the MRT to Somerset but it was raining heavily! :( There were strong winds, thunder and lightning. We had to walk to Cineleisure from the MRT station and it was very difficult to navigate the way there when the rain blurred the vision ahead. Regina didn't bring umbella so it's even more tough to go to Cineleisure. In the end, we went back to Bugis Junction! Haiz, it was quite troublesome, but we wanted to take neoprints and not end our outing like that! 

After we took the neoprints, we decorated it and waited for the photos to develop. However, there was some kinda error! I don't know what exactly happened but it had sthg to do with the printing. We had no choice but to wait, and wait, and wait. The shop assistant then told us that we had to redecorate the photos! Arghhh! This time round, we got the photos successfully. I think we spent around half an hour waiting+redecorating. Humph.

Yea, that's all. Then we went home. I'm glad I bought the t-shirt! :D

I went for a mini barbeque at my aunt's house yesterday. It was fine, and the food was alright. Most of the food couldn't escape without being burnt! I loved the chicken wings. xD

Okay, after a long weekend of play, I'd better settle down for some serious stuff (e.g. dreadful homework!) before I go out some time this week. 

Shall I post some pictures? *ahem* NOT OF ME, I mean.

Never mind. Shall post the tag replies here (so that I won't hog up the tagboard).

To:-

xin yu: haha xin yu. 
Sabrina(: haha, don't flatter me! ;)
&SARAH: sarah! that's one great idea! but i didn't think about that though. xD
wei ting: thanks wei ting. (: yea, the luge is fun!
jeslyn: haha jeslyn, thanks, and i did have a good time. :)

So how do you find the previous post? xD

Haha.

I went to watch Bolt yesterday with my brother and two cousins. It was very funny! Bolt is cute too! The story is about this dog, Bolt, being a dog actor that has superpowers in the show. However, he doesn't know that it is all a show and he has no superpowers at all. Until one day, he got lost and accidentally got flown from Hollywood to New York! Hah. He met a few comical pigeons on the way and made friends with a cat, Mittens, and a hamster that keeps himself in a ball, Rhino. Rhino is so funny! All along, he thinks that Bolt is really a superdog, even up till the end of the show! Hahaha. It might not sound funny here, but it sure does when you watch the movie. :) I give it 4 stars. :)

I'm bored at home! That's why I'm going out some time next week... Once again, my homework is uncompleted. BUT, I've finished almost 2 more homework! Hahah, at least there's some achievements. ;)

Right. SENTOSA!
Went on 27/11, Thursday and came back on 29/11, Saturday. Yes, I know it's a very short trip but as usual, I had fun!

Day 1
When we went there, our room was checked in very fast. Played with my cousins who were also on the trip with us. :) After lunch, we celebrated my cousin's 6th birthday! Ate the delicious Prima Deli cake! Umm...

After the teabreak (cake), we just lazzed in the hotel room. Read Twilight and the introduction was quite draggyyyy. Aha. Oh ya, we went swimming in the late afternoon. Swam a few laps, but those laps were nothing compared to those that I swam during the school's swimming lessons! xD Given my height and age, it's quite impossible to sit the slide right? Haha, but there wasn't any lifeguard there or person on duty so I just went up and sat with my cousins! Ahaha... I know I'm still very childish. xD

Evening came very fast so we went to a foodcourt (Koufu) at Palawan Beach for dinner. It was quite breezy and we somehow watched the sun set. :) Then, we went into the Islandlife shop. My sis wanted me to try on the sunglasses! Humph. Then I tried and she took the following photos. So ugly and funny! xDDD
For this last photo, my sister purposely wanted me to let the glasses droop down! X(
At night, we watched Don't Forget the Lyrics (Singapore) and The Little Nyonya and that's it for the day!

Day 2
Rise and shine for another day! After breakfast, we just stayed in the hotel room for a while then went downstairs to the small arcade. When it was about 10.30, we swam. *bloop bloop*
After lunch, stayed somemore in the hotel room and read my book. When it was about 4, we walked to the Underwater World, but we didn't go in, just walked outside to see some fish/turtles. Unfortunately, we just missed the turtle feeding time. :( On our way out, we saw a male peacock with its opened feathers! Wow, I think I have never seen a peacock open its feathers before. But I didn't see the process of opening. I managed to take a few pictures of it and so did the other passers-by. The peacock seemed to be relishing up all the attention given to it. It was strutting around and turning slowly to let everyone take pictures of it! So cute!
Here in this photo, there's a female peacock in front of the male one.

Since it wasn't that hot anymore, we went directly to the beach. I played with the water for a while then focused on my sandcastle. Haha, this time, I built it without the help of the spades, but with my own hands! :) I think that's more fun and interesting.
Yea, I know it's not very perfect and all, but at least I think it's nice. Haha! (P/S: The sides do look a bit like a volcano! xD)

Here's me and my sandcastle! :) Oh ya, the line around it was actually representing the moat...

After going back to the hotel room to wash up, we went to eat dinner, followed by going to the Night Luge! Haha, that's one attraction that we always go to at Sentosa. However, previously, we sat the Luge/Chairlift in the day. Now, we decided to try it at night! That's so cool! I have to admit that some parts of the 'racetrack' was a bit dark and scary, cos there were coloured lights (blue and red)! And it was breezy so it was very fun. When my sister and I were taking the Chairlift, the night lights were beautiful! When I looked left, I could see the beach, sea and the hotel. Right, I saw the city and PSA site. My sister borrowed my phone to take a picture and so I was afraid it would drop down! Haha. It was quite dark below so you wouldn't know where it dropped to.

I actually wanted to eat New Zealand's Natural ice cream after the Luge, but it was closed already! So sad! So I guess I have to wait till the next morning...

At night, I dreamt that I was 'robbed' of my chance to eat ice cream! The dream was sthg like we had to leave Sentosa in a hurry so I didn't get to eat my NZN ice cream! Then I woke up, and I was so relieved and glad that it was only a dream, and that I will really get to eat it in the morning! Haha!

Day 3
A short day. At about 11, we took a tram to the NZN shop and finally bought my Cookies N Cream ice cream! Yum! I had been waiting for this for 'a long time'! As usual, it tasted fantastic! ;D

After we checked out of the hotel, we went out for lunch. Took a final picture.

And this is the end of my Sentosa trip! :)

Tuesday, December 2, 2008

Yes, yes, I know I'm supposed to talk about my Sentosa trip, but the photos are not ready yet! Humph. But it was still very fun, as usual. :)

Did I talk about the Cedar Musical? I think I did, but I didn't talk much. Even though I felt that there were a little too many songs, the whole musical was nice, and I could tell that the teachers and cast put in a lot of effort to make the musical such a success. And ya, the props were superb! They were very elaborate and detailed. Saw a lot of Cedarians. x) Haha.

My homework is still UNFINISHED! Noooo! I hope there's still time for me to both work and play for the rest of the one month! xD
