I think TARA 3 is getting more and exciting. No, it should be exciting by now, as the season finale is just this Thursday already! So fast! A.D. and Fuzzie went out. I knew that they would be booted out. They were so laid back and doesn't seem to be pushing themselves. But nvm, it's also a good thing that they got out, because it's so agonising to see them so relaxed and lagging behind!

Went for CIP last Friday at the opening of the new Yishun Public Library. It was very crowded, as usual, but the books there were mostly new and there was a wide variety of books. It occupied the whole level of the extension of Northpoint Shopping Centre. Just hanged around in the library and shelved books, especially the children's area! The books were quite messed up.

I think I'm gonna download some songs now. Gtg. :)

Everywhere I go, I see advertisements for Madagascar 2 Escape 2 Africa! Argh! I know it premieres tmr, but it's so irritating! The kids are all talking about it and singing that "I like to move it move it" song.

First, in the bus on the way to toa payoh, there were 2 kids behind the bus talking about the characters in the movie and singing aloud the song. (!!!)

Second, outside the MRT station, there was a big poster about the movie. =.=

Third, at one of the big shopping centres (I think it was Tangs Plaza), there was a big TV screen showing the movie trailer.


Fourth, the toys for the Happy Meal in McDonalds was also the characters from Madagascar 2!!!


I have had too much of Madagascar 2 today already. I think I should get a rest.

zzz...


I think I overborrowed books form the library already... xP Right now I'm jumping from series to series! Man, I hope I don't get confused by the different series.

GUIDES ANNUAL CAMP 2008 ROCKED!

I loved the Guides camp! It was sooo fun! But I feel very guilty that I didn't stay till the end and had to leave early... because I had piano exam! While everyone is envying me that I can go off early, I really wanted to stay till the end with everyone else! Unfortunately, circumstances do not allow...

--- Btw, I promised myself not to blog only when the rest of the Guides have come back, to be fair. :) ---

Anyway, the first night was fun. The morning and afternoon was very tiring and hottt! As in the weather. We were pitching our tent and making our gadgets (e.g. shoerack, baggage rack and clothesline) under the hot sun! I already got sunburnt before the first day ends! But it's okay, I don't mind getting tanner. :) Haha.

The night activity was cool! The Sec 3s tried to trick us that our handphones and wallets were lost! Hahaha! My first reaction was, "Oh. Are you sure you really lost it? I don't quite believe it..." Because they are Sec 3s, not some primary school students. And there are teachers around. Do you really think that our valuables will be lost? Haha, I know that anything might happen, but just saying my thoughts. :) Then after that, there was some moment of dead silence and everyone, including the Sec 3s, were looking very serious and solemn. They asked us whether we saw anyone suspicious in the campsite. Suddenly, one of the Sec 3s started smiling a bit and ahha! That's when I knew sthg was wrong... Haha. Guess what happened next. Another Sec 3 handed out a list of TYPED-OUT document of the possible suspects for the theft! Hahaha! Can you believe it? Then everybody started to laugh and their trick was exposed! :) But I have to say that the Sec 3s were successful in tricking most of us, since they acted quite real.

In the end, it was just some kinda of mystery game that we have to find out who the thief was. We just went station by station and complete the tasks.

Haha, our patrol got ready our bathing stuff when we had free time so when we were allowed to bathe, we immediately grabbed our plastic bags and rushed off to the showering cubicles! Hahaha, we were very kiasu. xD Wow, I felt so refreshed after the quick shower!

I slept quite well after that, (even though we only had about 5 hours of sleep), cos I was tired.

Rise and shine for a brand new day! Our patrol woke up at 5am! So early! We were only supposed to wake up at 6.30am! Hah, it's ok. I just woke up, warmed myself up and rolled up my sleeping bag.

I was so looking forward to this day! You know why? COS WE WERE GOING TO EAST COAST PARK TO CYCLE AND ROLLERBLADE!!! I love rollerblading!

--- I shall just skip to the part where we were at ECP. ---

I cycled first for about 1 and a half hours. Gee, that's long! I grew tired of the bicycle in about 45 minutes cos I didn't know where else to ride (even though ECP is very big). Plus, the bicycle is not nice to ride on. :( I accidentally adjusted the gears and didn't know how to change it back. =.= And from then on, it was even more difficult to ride! I just can't wait for my turn to switch to inline skating.

Inline skating was sooo fun! I loved it a lot! Most people didn't know how to skate so I helped them a bit. Then I just skated on my own around the area. You know what?

I GOT TO USE THE NICE, BLUE, K2 SKATES THAT I'D BEEN EYEING ON! I GOT TO USE IT!!!

Hah, ok, I know I sound very exagerrated, but I was really so excited! The rental skates were BRAND NEW! And I couldn't believe my luck you know. They used such a good pair of skates for RENTAL USE. Anyway, it was good also, in a way, that they used it for rental, if not I wouldn't have a chance to wear it! Haha. It was so smooooth and perfect and nice to wear and I liked it a lot. Haha.

The cycling and rollerblading at ECP was very refreshing and it was sthg new as we got to go out of the campsite and do sthg else. I enjoyed it thoroughly man! :DDD

After my dinner at Mcdonalds, we had this challenge of going around the park searching for things and doing it also. It was sort of like a Treasure Hunt in some ways. Here were some of the things that we had to find:

- Someone wearing braces
- Caterpillar
- A couple with the girl taller than the boy
- A person with matching top and bottom
- A bicycle shop owner's business card
- Twins
- An angmoh baby
- An Olympics 2008 logo
- An ex-Guide or Brownie

There are many more, and we also had to do things also. Btw, it can't be from a Cedar Guide unless specifically mentioned. Things we had to do:

- Find 2 strangers to do with one of us the Kallang Wave
- Get someone to recite the 7th Guide Law
- 3 of us to sing the World Song
- Ask a shop owner for his/her birthday, favourite food and fave colour

Wow, we were kinda stunned by some of them, but we had no choice and we had to do it within 45 minutes. It was dark and we couldn't really see as clearly as in the daytime.

We had to take photos or video tape down our actions as evidences. Somehow, my phone went berserk and there was no volume for the videos! I was so disappointed but luckily the seniors 'trusted us'. I accidentally deleted one of the photos and forgot to show them the business card! But it's okay.

After that, when they were going to board the bus back to Camp Christine, I met up with my parents and... yea, that's it. That's the end of my Guides Camp! THAT'S IT. It was only one night-two day. I really wished I could stay on especially for the campfire but I have to set my priorities right. I can't just let one whole year of hard work on the piano go down the drain. Anyway, I had a lot of fun in the 2 days and I sure look forward to the next camp next year! :D

I'm gonna reach my 100th post soon! :)

Friday's class outing was very funnn! :D We cycled and played frisbee, made our 1I turtle and had a picnic! :) Yea, everything went fine. It was very fun! :) I'm organising another outing so the 1I-ballers reading this, please check your email! :)

GIRL GUIDES ANNUAL CAMP! :D

I think I know who won TARA 3 already. It's so obvious! Haha. Really enjoyed watching both TAR and TARA. A.D. and Fuzzie are so funny man! Hahaha.

Thursday, October 30, 2008

There's TARA 3 today! :DD

Haha, I'm looking forward to tonight's TARA 3!

Tomorrow is the class outing! YAYYYYY!

I'm telling you, I'm so excited and all geared up for tmr's class outing! I can't wait!

Went to Bishan lib with Maisarah today. I've borrowed 3 books on Tuesday so now I can only borrow 1 book! Noooooo! Sad to say, I have to leave this space for the book that I reserved and it was ready for collection today. Yippee, I have more books to read! But that's a bad point too, cos I have to read fast.

Anyway, I'm so excited. I hope the weatherman will be kind to 1I tmr and let there be some sunshine. :)

Tuesday, October 28, 2008

Yay! I have sooo many books to read this holiday! No, wait, should I say, for these 2 weeks.

I went library-hopping with Wong Lei this afternoon. Well, it isn't really library-hopping cos we only went to 2 libraries --- Bukit Merah (BM) and Jurong Regional (JR).

Since the nearest MRT station to BM lib was Redhill, we alighted there but we had no idea where to walk and how to get to the lib! We were not totally lost though, cos i wrote down on a piece of paper the route that we're gonna walk yesterday night. (Haha!) Still, it was partially useful, and we eventually came to a point when we were clueless on how to get to the lib. We just walked (based on our direction sense) to a bus stop, then we took the only bus there to somewhere in the direction of the lib. I rmb that this particular bus goes to somewhere near the lib. Yes, after we alighted from the bus, we cut through a HDB block and voila! We arrived at our destination! Hahaha.

BM lib was okay. Not as nice as what I had expected though. But it's ok. I borrowed a book from there and now I think I shouldn't have. Reason being? Read on! xD

We found out at the bus stop that 198 goes to JR lib so we just hopped on that bus, not exactly knowing where to alight. BUT, we alighted at the correct stop anyway. I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! Hahaha. Because we passed by Jurong Town Hall and that's the road where there's the nice, huge hump on the road! When you drive over it, the feeling is like sitting on a rollarcoaster ride! Anyway, you have to really feel it to understand what I'm talking about. xP

JR lib was very nice! I mean the variety of books. There were many books there and I found the books that I wanted.

So now, I have 5 English books and 1 Chinese book to read! And I have to read it all within 3 weeks! (That's a bit of my personal target and because of the lib due date also.) --- Hold on here, I know many of you can finish them all within a week, but please understand that I'M A SLOW READER, OKAY?! Plus, I want to finish my homework asap. --- I'm so excited! Haha, at least I know that I have many books to occupy myself over the hols! :D

I love KINOKUNIYA! :D

Ok, it's not like I've never been there before --- I've been there many times already. And each time I go there, I'm convinced that it's the best book shop.

Yup, I went there this morning cos there's a sale (whoohoo!). I read a book first, then bought Twilight. *pause*

Okay, I know almost everyone in my class has read it and there're crazy over it so I thought there's no harm in giving it a try.

Yay! I have many books to read this holiday! I won't complain that I'm bored anymore since I have many books to catch up on my reading. :)

Man, I can't find the other songs of HSM 3. I don't know how to download it the proper way anyway. Haha. Perhaps I'll just get it Bluetooth-ed from somebody else.

Friday, October 24, 2008

HSM 3: Senior Year was very nice! Somehow, everything still turned out right, the way everyone expected it to. I like the ending! The ending was so sweet and perfect! And it was touching too. :) How I wish my own Graduation would be sthg like that too, though I know it won't be so fancy. Haha.

The songs were nice too. I missed the first part that I wanted to watch!!! :( It was the part where they had the opening song Now Or Never. I wanted to watch that part so much you know? But so sad, I missed it, due to some reasons. It's ok. I will just try and forget it. Hahaha.

Today is the first day of the holidays for me. Wow, I can't imagine that it comes so soon! I have exactly 9 weeks and 5 days to enjoy. Except that towards the end of the holidays will be spent tuning my mind back to the 'school mood'.

2 months is certainly a long, long, time. I guess I'll just have to do sthg useful and not just entirely play all day. (Alicia, don't accuse me of studying!)

I'll be definitely looking forward to the class outing. I hope everything will go as planned and nobody comes late or whatever.

Thursday, October 23, 2008

Today is the last day of school. I'm so sad. I mean, of course, I'm happy and excited too, but it's that feeling of sadness that we're leaving 1I and being promoted to a new class (but with the same classmates).

I read joyce's blog and it was so touching! 1I-ballers, please go and read: http://joy-ceyy.blogspot.com/ . (Hey joyce, I'm helping you promote your blog!)

I'll really miss all the good times that we have. Despite all the problems or troubles that you caused to the class comm, we're still one big class and we'll always be here to help one another. United we stand, Divided we fall.

Top 5 Best Moments with 1I
1) Home Econs Dinner Night
2) My birthday (:
3) Day of the CNY decorations
4) Buzz@canteen
5) Today :D

All the 1I-ballers out there, I know sometimes I was angry with you and all, but I have never given up on us. We will forever stay as a class together no matter the number of hardships that we went through together...

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

Yea, and here I am, in school, attending the Cyber Wellness course. The teacher allowed us to use the computer. xD

Ok, gtg now. (Just a quick one today.) (:
