SAINTsational Fair 3
Went to St Margs funfair this morning with Lydia, Shamane and her two brothers...Lydia had $100 worth of tickets and kept on sponsering us food and games..Thanks girl! Well, we met at 9am and saw Aud at the entrance...She suggested going in together and we were like "Why not?" Besides, the more the merrier...Anyway, we first went to the parade square and saw the cheerleading girls...After that, we went to the cafe to enjoy the air- con and ordered food...We ordered one of everything and spent more than half an hour there, after which we went to play games...well, it was actually Shamane's brothers who played the most and helped Lydia to collect tokens so that she can exchange something for Pam and Pris...so, there we went playing games...There is also this SAINTsational Draw thing on the ticket...so, we detach it and gave it to Pastor Fuman who kindly agreed to help us put the it into the box...As we were not going to stay for long, we told him that he can have the prize if the number was called. After exchanging for a toy to give to the twins, we went to the canteen and tried to use up our coupons on food...we bought all kinds of rubbish...from brownies, sweets, candy floss and chicken wings...we then realised that we did not give Pastor Fuman the ticket so that he can collect the prize if the number was called.So, Aud and I went around the school looking for him...From St John's Chapel to the cafe. We were about to give up the search when we saw him at the parade square. We quickly ran to him and gave him the ticket. He was quite surprised and said: "I thought you all left already. How come you are still here?" Anyway, we went back to the canteen where Lydia and Shamane were. We saw Uncle Stan and chatted with him...he was still the good, old uncle stan who look as jovial as before...He did not look like he's a day older since I graduated...the same goes to major...I'm touched that he will remember us and came to talk to us in the cafe. I really miss the good, old st margs days...although we had a lot of assignments and tests, but, we knew that we can always count on one another's encouragements and prayers...That precious 4 years will always occupy a significant place in my heart...

I will never forget
It has only been a short time
A really brief, memorable 8 months
I will never forget.
I guess it must be really challenging for you to teach us
A class who is reserved during lessons but is the exact opposite during breaks
I guess it must be difficult for you to teach us
A class who is so lifeless, so apathetic
I guess you must be upset
To see all the Os, Es and Fs
But I hope despite all these,
You have derive some satisfaction from teaching us
Transforming us
Our class once so lifeless
Now no longer so
Our grades will hopefully
Be turned into As by next year
It was you who constantly nag at us
All the naggings and pep talks
I will never forget.
Thank you for coming into my life.
God Bless you wherever you go.

The greatest pain in life
is not to die, but to be ignored.
To lose the person you love so
much to another who doesn't care at all.
To have someone you care so about so much throw a party...
and not tell you about it.
When your favorite person on earth
neglects to invite you to his graduation.
To have people think that you don't care.
The greatest pain in life,
is not to die,
but to be forgotten.
To be left in the dust after another's great achievement.
To never get a call from a friend,
just saying "hi".
When you show someone your innermost thoughts and they laugh in your face.
For friends to always be too busy to console you when you need someone to lift your spirits.
When it seems like the only person who cares about you,
is you.
Life is full of pain,
but does it ever get better?
Will people ever care about each other,
and make time for those who are in need?
Each of us has a part to play
in this great show we call life.
Each of us has a duty to mankind
to tell our friends we love them.
If you do not care about your friends
you will not be punished.
You will simply be ignored...
forgotten...
as you have done to others.

The World’s Most Beautiful
I’d give anything to see the sun set on the horizon,
I’d do anything to gaze at a full moon in the night sky;
Even a rainbow would make me smile,
And I’d love to swim in crystal clear waters
Of an untouched sea;
Sometimes I’ll see a shooting star,
And try to gaze from afar,
All the diamonds in the night sky;
The mist on the mountains is breathtaking,
As is walking in rainforest;
To see cascading waterfalls I’d do anything for,
As to stand on the highest peak in the world,
And look at the sights below;
I’d love to soar on wings above the clouds,
Across the bluest skies;
I’d do anything to see
All the beautiful things in the world,
Like a red rose blooming in the Sahara,
Like a river twisting through a dusty land,
All the beautiful things in the world;
But I also know I am looking at
The world’s most beautiful creation,
Every time you smile,
And every time I look into your eyes.

SAJC Open House
Reached school at 9.50am to report for duty at the choir booth. Joyce called me last night to inform me to come in school uniform today. As I was too tired from looking at books, I did not bother to ask her the reason. But I found out today anyway. It turns out that the guy had it printed wrongly. What was supposed to be at the back was in front. *Sigh* Maybe some people had understanding prob or did they not make the instructions clear? Whatever it is, the guy had agreed to re-print the shirt. Back to today. It was weird going to the open house in sch uniform. Esp when everyone else is wearing t-shirt. Oh well, we sure did stand out.
We just started counter duty when we were told to go to AVA for practice. Well, we were very reluctant to go. Tending the booth is such a fun thing to do. No consumption of energy and brain cells, plus, you get to talk (to the sec 4s and to your other friends when they go past). But we went back anyway. Throughout the practice, pple came and left. The practices were not too bad. The only thing is that we just couldn't concentrate and couldn't stop moving and talking. In the end, we ended up repeating and repeating parts of the song until we have perfected it.
By the way, I think I have come to a decision for my inner struggle- whether to take S papers or not? After much consideration and discussing it with my friends, cousins, relatives and my parents (and even my 2 younger brothers), I think that I would take it. Most prob it's maths and chem...If i am rejected, then well, I have nothing to say. If I am successful in my application, well, i will surely do my best to cope and to do well in it. Should i not be able to cope, i can always drop it. Like what Lydia told me, I can decide not to sit for the paper even on the day of exam. No pressure, but it would be best if I can do well, and get into THE faculty of my choice.

Just chatted with Lydia on the phone...she started it first...she was the one who smsed me to ask about my promos results...oh well, promos results...
I guess I did quite fine this time round. At least better than common test. But I think that the papers were relatively easier too...
Besides talking about results, this earth watch pres also asked me if I'm free to go to St Margs funfair next Saturday...she has $100 worth of tickets...Imagine $100...and she did not even pay a single cent for it...apparently her lovely juniors gave them to her cos she's so fun-loving, sweet, blah, blah, blah...Anyway, it's a pity that I'm not free on that Saturday...if not, i will definetly help her to spend the money! Enough of all this crap, it's time that I start studying and preparing for my chinese exams which is coming real soon...and on the same day is Bio Olympiad...better prepare and do the school proud...

I've been wanting to write this entry for a long, long time...since last saturday...but i can't, cause someone may see it...and the supposed surprised will disappear...but i guess i can write it now, since her day is just tml and i guess it doesn't really matter if she finds out today? Now? i doubt she read this anyway...so, here it goes...Last Saturday, I went out with jie, gi and wei ti buy yuwen's pressie...we spent more time talking crap than thinking of what to get for her...and this time round, we spent a relatively shorter time to decide on what to buy...after we bought the pressie, we shopped around Paragon and basically chatted...and we even sat and enjoy a cup of road-side ice-cream...long time since we last did that...gi also revealed that she may be going overseas to study at the end of the year...whta's the surprise here? Everyone seems to be going overseas nowadays...just hope she enjoys studying there and remember us...all the best gi!

The Reason- Hoobastank
i'm not a perfect person. there are many things i wish i didnt do
but i continue learning. i never meant to do those things to you.
and so i have to say before i go, that i just want you to know
i've found a reason for me, to change who i used to be
a reason to start over new, and the reason is you
i'm sorry that i hurt, its something i must live with everyday
and all the pain i put you through, i wish that i could take it all away
and be the one who catches all your tears, thats why i need you to hear

I just completed my pw meeting notes and finished typing the group evaluation... Everyone was late for pw yesterday...i ended up watching parts of the rehearsal for the music awards... and guess what? weiting and some others had form a band and they are going to perform...and i didn't know that until YESTERDAY! But that's not a big deal, i'm sure there are many others out there who may not even know until Monday itself...Anyway, i thought that they were good...and i didn't know (again) that Weiting can play the drums... and after yesterday, i thought playing the drums is cool and i'm going to learn how to play (or is it hit?)
After pw, i went out with my mum for lunch and i bought a new phone! At long last! Anyway, i am quite satisfied with the new phone i got and that it does not seem to matter that i'm the one paying for it...Luckily it's not very expensive...if not, my pocket is going to burn...better start saving...or should i get the money from my dad? He doesn't know that i have bought a new phone...but i guess he wouldn't mind since my old phone is really OLD!

Phew! Promos are finally over...I can now relax, watch all the shows I've missed and made up for the beauty sleep that I have lost...Wait, actually, no...I slept earlier during the exam period...10pm...is that earlier enough? I mean, I don't want to fall asleep when I'm doing my paper...That's logical isn't it? Well, today's going to be my pw day...we are going to meet in school and do all the things we need to do before submitting our files in...After pw, I'm meeting my mum and maybe I'll be getting a new phone today!!! I've been saying that for so long...since starting of the year? I don't know...but I'm so excited over it...can't wait for pw to be over...hopefully in a few hours time?
Now, my brother is so envious...his eyes are green with envy...he has maths paper today...while he was trying hard to memorise his formula last night, I was there watching tv...well, not that I inconsiderate...he did watch the show too and I think he laughed the loudest...and he thinks that being taller than his elder sis is a big deal...and that he can laugh at me and calls me his mei-mei...whenever he does that, I would rebut by saying "I have a gor-gor in SEC 1" and he will stop this nonsense...actually i think my brother is quite mature for his age...he is only sec 1 and he's studying, well, not very hard, but he managed to get decent grades so far...so unlike of the other brother who is now in sec 3...but doesn't study but sit in front of the computer playing who-knows-what silly games...what is really the point is that he is sitting for his 'O's next year and he doesn't seem to get his foundation firm...and he will not get it unless he sit down and concentrate on his studies...esp for his chinese... his chinese grades are always in the range of 20-something to 30-something... my dad even suggested him to take Malay instead...ha, you're right dad! Enough said about my two younger, irritating brothers... I can't keep on nagging at them...it isn't my job...it's my mum's job...but i guess they will soon realise that they will have to grow up one day and get on with life with the reality...
