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!

Hello. Teachers' Day is coming. I don't know whether I should still go back to my primary school or not cos basically, I can only visit 2 Chinese teachers, which I'm not really very close to. :( A few of my friends are going, like Yi Lin, Yee Ting Charmaine etc. Hmm... Besides, I don't know whether I'll be able to rush back in time or not cos TVPS ends at 10 and up till now, I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TIME CEDAR ENDS!

Ok, gtg. Bye~

P/S: I LOVE GIRL GUIDES! <3

I PASSED THE SITUATIONAL TEST! YAY! Ok, anyway, today was the interview. I WAS SO NERVOUS! SO, SO NERVOUS! I was the last to be interviewed you know? All the other groups are done and I'm the only one left! Even the testers have came out from interviewing the students already. Ya, so, I was so nervous that somehow, my eyes became teary. YES! IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING! I was really very nervous. I don't know whether the tearing affected my performance or not but I feel so embarrassed and paiseh! OH NOOO! I hope it didn't affect my performance. Anyway I can't reveal too much on the interview cos there are ppl taking it tmr. Haiz... I'm so disappointed!!!

I finished my Situational Test already. IT WAS SO SCARY!!! THERE WERE SO MANY SENIORS THERE!!! :-{ I can't reveal anything about the test cos there are still many ppl who have not sat for it yet. They'll be sitting for it tmr. (GOOD LUCK PPL! :]) All I can say is that most of the PCs and PSLs will be there. I almost freaked out when I saw so many of my seniors there... Really! I didn't know what to do... But I'm quite disappointed with my performance cos I got affected by their presence. :( Sad... I don't know whether I can pass this test or not. If I'm so lucky and I passed, I'll be shortlisted to go for the interview, which is conducted by the teachers. If I pass the interview, I'll officially be a Pupil Leader (PL)! :DDD But wait, I shouldn't be thinking too far now. I don't even know the results of this Situational Test and here I am, imagining that I'll really become a PL. Haiz... 传到桥头自然之。I'll just let nature take its course. :)

Oh yay, Singapore is guaranteed a Silver Olympics medal! :D Our Table Tennis women's team got into the Finals and is competing with China this evening for Gold! Of course, once you see 'China', you know what the result will be. Haha. But there might be a miracle... :) Although I know that China will win, I just wish that Li Jiawei, Wang Yuegu and Feng Tianwei will do their best! :D

Ok, it has been almost a week since I last posted. But nvm, cos I have to revise (again) for the upcoming Maths CT 4 in week 9. =.= Anyway, GET READY FOR A LONG, LONG, POST NOW. :D

Friday was our National Day celebrations. I HAVE TO DO GUIDES YEOMAN SERVICE! :( I actually didn't want to do it cos I will miss out on the celebrations (the singing and all) but I must do it as I've never done it before and there's a requirement of at least 3 times per year. It's already past mid year and I did none so it's time for me to do the service. I was really very sad that I couldn't watch the performance but no choice, I have to do it. Fortunately, I got to watch the marching and participate in the mass dance! Hahaha, I felt so happy. I love the marching! It was so cool! Everybody was so neat and uniformed. How I wish I can be part of the NDP next year. :DDD Shortly after we went to the hall, Carin and I have to go back down to the canteen nd get ready to serve the food already... :( So sad. The indoor performance haven't even started yet when we were up there. It was only the prize presentation! So we missed about 1 hour of the indoor performance, including the community singing. There was the modern dance and the malay dance, community singing and cheering too! Sounds so fun. We heard the Cedarians up there singing and jumping to the songs, enjoying themselves... BUT, we, the fellow guides down at the canteen doing duty, also had our own fun! Hahaha, we also sang together, formed a circle and 'joined the people upstairs' in jumping! Hahaha! So hilarious. Then after the performance, the guests and the VIPs came down to the canteen and this was the time when we were doing the duty, by serving refreshments to the guests, VIPs and the teachers. In the end, there were many leftovers so we started eating them too! Haha, we were quite rude, actually. :( Then we also let the Cedarians eat them, and even the cleaners were invited! The performance ended at around 10.30, while I finished the duty at about 11.45?! I actually planned to out with Xin Yu and Jeslyn for lunch but they decided that they didn't want to wait for me and went home to eat their own lunch in the end. Actually, it's quite impossible to ask them to wait for me. I finished my duty at around 11.45! Hahaha. Then I was so lonely and I decided to go home by myself. However, I dropped by J8 to see whether I could buy anything for my lunch.
So that was how I spent my National Day celebrations on Friday. -_-

In the evening, we watched the Opening Ceremony for the Beijing Olympics 2008. I was so excited! Hahaha. The performance was so wonderful and spectacular, with such elaborate costumes. The performers were very synchronised and everything was very neat and grand, of course. Then we waited and waited for the march past of the countries that was taking part. Wow, there are 204 countries participating in this Olympics! Cool man! I stayed up all the way until Singpore finally marched out. =.= If I'm not wrong, Singapore is the 188th country to come out. Hahaha. What a really long wait. The part that I liked most is the lighting of the Olympic torch. Li Ning was the one who lighted up the Olympic Torch. He was 'flying' in the air to the HUGE, HUGE torch at one corner of the Bird's Nest and then, he transferred the flame to one stick or sthg then the HUGE, HUGE torch officially lighted up! So cool! Yeah!

Saturday was National Day. Singpore's 43rd birthday as a nation. I'm so proud of my country. Singapore has been through 43 years of hard work and effort that leads to what it is today. (I bet Jeslyn is even prouder of Singpore than me. Haha!) I watched the parade at my aunt's house, then we watched Calefare and First Class. I like First Class better cos it's very school-like and it's so comical! Calefare is not bad also... :)

Yesterday, we saw (on TV) Tao Li swimming in the semi-finals for the Women's 100m Butterfly event. She was actually the last in the first 50m, but later, she 反败为胜 and became 3rd in the end! She also broke a few records and her best timing now is 57.44s, I think. :D What a wonderful job! Now, she has moved on to the Finals, which has already taken place just now in the morning. She didn't win any medal, as she came in 5th. It was already a very good effort that she managed to enter the finals. Tao Li is the first ever Singaporean to enter the finals of any swimming competitions. So she has already done Singapore proud. :D

I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE OLYMPICS! Hahaha. I wanna see whether any athlete manage to win a medal and do us proud. :) There's still many days to go, and also many more events that has not started yet, like the Table Tennis. GO, TEAM SINGAPORE! :D

I'm back again. Life is fine, as usual. Today Ferozia suddenly asked me, "What is life?" I was totally shocked by her question! Okay, maybe not really shocked, but kinda surprised by what the question. I thought she was trying to crack a joke or sthg but later Xin Yu, who was with me, said to her, "What is life is what you think it is. Bye!" Haha! We were actually going to the toilet so Xin Yu just gave her a 'ridiculous' reply. But come to think of it, WHAT IS LIFE?

So, I found out that there's going to be another Maths Common Test (for the whole of Sec 1) on 19 August, Tuesday, Week 9. AND IT'S WEEK 7 NOW! WE ONLY HAVE EXACTLY 2 WEEKS TO PREPARE! 2 weeks! Although there'll only be 4 topics tested, it's still gonna be difficult. :( Oh well, let's just let nature take its course while I revise once again.

NATIONAL DAY IS COMING! :) And not to mention the BEIJING OLYMPICS 2008! :D YAY! Actually I don't know why I'm so excited. -_- Haha.

Today, I met my ex-classmate in the bus. How nice. Or should I say how sad. He's currently in RI and is apparently facing a lot of pressure from the number of projects. =.= (It's the same thing through and through in good schools --- projects and projects and projects. =.=) When I asked him whether he still maintained contact with the other classmates, he said 'sort of'. Sad to say, I only maintain contact with a few people. :( I didn't really got the time to ask for the boys' email addresses. Never mind. Then he said that he went for the class gathering on Youth Day holiday, while I didn't. :( Cos I knew that 'I'll feel left out from the crowd' as most of the people that should be going were friends that I wasn't really close to. He also told me that 'quite a number of people went'. I was quite sad then. Did my other friends really went? Anyway, it's ok. They went to sing K-box or sthg and I'm clearly not interested in such things so it's better off me staying at home. Or is it? So I suddenly kinda missed the days that I spent in TVPS, after PSLE, with my friends... Wonder how they're doing now... I'm gonna go back to Townsville with Charmaine on Teachers' Day celebration. BUT WHO CAN I VISIT? I'm in such a pathetic state now... All my form teachers from P1 to P6 have either retired or left the school. :( Even my CCA teacher went to another school! I'm not really close to my Chinese teachers, even though they're pretty nice. :) But if I'm really going back to visit them, I'll visit mostly Mdm Cheng and Mrs Tan. :D

Oh ya, there's the Records Challenge show tonight on Channel 8, 8pm. It should be about Townsville, if I'm not wrong. YOU ALL MUST WATCH OKAY? :DDD
