I'm back!(:

Firstly, sorry if I haven't been updating. My com crashed a few days before the flight, rendering me completely helpless and bored.

Nothing much really happened after the exams, except...
1. Inter-class Soccer, where in the end it was 2i Team 1 vs. 2i Team 2. We had loads of fun, and my shoe came off when I kicked the ball once. I knew I should have tied it tighter, but I like my shoes that way, so...who cares? I don't.
2. NE Trip, where we sat on this bumboat and waved to the tourists and stuff. Quite fun.
3. Class Party, where we just sat around Hannah's drum set and the piano, and later moved to the TV to watch DVDs and the class CD. Touching, but we all laughing at the end, contrary to what Xin, Co and Chia wanted. Sad I had to leave early to get some sleep before the flight...):

* * * * * *

Just came back from Australia yesterday...whew. The trip rocked. Went there for about three weeks, came back with tons of chocolate, tanned (and horribly DRY) skin and presents for Crys and Eleanor and people I'm likely to see next year.

How I spent the weeks( Part One):

Day 1: 4 November

Got up at 4am for the flight, but was still quite late. Nothing to look at during the wee hours in transit. Boarded at about 7, and got stuck on the ground for about two hours due to some problems with the plane. I swear I'm gonna stick to Singapore Airlines now...

Watched some movies on board like Around the World in 80 Days, Sinbad, nothing much...and watched the clouds outside the window. (I'm also never sitting near the window again. It's too cold when the temperature outside reaches -51 degrees Celcius. Brrrr...)

Got to the airport at 7pm there( 3 hours ahead of Singapore instead of 2 because of daylight saving), met my aunt, went to her house where I'll spend the next few weeks, and...slept the rest of the day(or night) away.

Day 2: 5 November

Woke up damn early by my usual standards: 8am. Groggily go to the bathroom, reach the breakfast table when my dad's handphone begins to ring. It turns out to be the school, offering me the 9 subject combination. Great timing, I must say.*rolls eyes* Anyway, I accept. What have I got to lose anyway? Plus I don't wanna repeat what happened in P4, when I didn't choose EM1. So... now I'm gonna do Triple Science. Like...wow.

God, I'm tired. Shall post more later.

Anyway, it's my dad's birthday today:D

God bless.

Today...

stank. Had some stupid Chinese Enrichment thing. Argh, it was SOOOOO boring. Then there was some lame police talk. Took me half an hour to stop stoning and notice that the video they showed was the same one they showed us last year, and the year before, and the year before, and the year before, and the year before, and the year before... I rest my case.

P.S. Ja came back. Complained about her Hong Kong roommate.*sigh*

P.P.S. I got the 8-subject combination. Dammit, I should have just ponned school today. It was such a waste of time.

God bless.

Post-exam stuff:D

Heh...went out with Cryssie and Eleanor immediately after Home Econs. Home Econs was probably the worst paper ever. Who even wants to know how to cook and sew?!

Anyway, Cryssie's mum gave us a lift to Orchard and we had free tickets to watch White Chicks. Until now, I still have no idea whether that movie was worth it. We went to Heeren, Ngee Ann City, Wisma, Borders...sooo fun!!!And we kept meeting ppl from MG there. They were like, all over Orchard or something...

Except the fact that Seth was tagging along. And I thought only females could be so whiny and annoying. He sure proved me wrong.

Didn't go anywhere on Thursday, and on Friday we were supposed to go watch Singapore Idol live. Key word: SUPPOSED. Meaning Cryssie's mum forgot to get the tickets. So...we headed to Orchard again, walked aimlessly about, went to Jurong to ice skate, had some pizza, went to the library.
Yeah.That's about it.

Pretty boring, if you ask me.

God bless!

IP Interview

I screwed up. I stepped in and well, I forgot everything I prepared. As usual. Then they asked me stupid questions. And I answered the wrong things plus I was like, monosyllabic. And well, yeah. I screwed it up.

Ja's Birthday and Farewell Party

It was great! We had so much food, like 4 Large pizzas, fries, yakitori, sushi, fruits... Oh man, it was too much. Cong and the others didn't come. So sad. =(

We watched the Olympics there: the Li Jia Wei match against that stupid she-man. And she LOST. It's all that she-man's fault.Hmph.

Ja Idol!!!Woot. I was Florence erm...Lynn Yeo. Jo did the Ken Lim thing really well. Better than yhe real person himself. Do your eyes hurt, Jo?


We prank called a few people. Like the gay softball coach.
Kim:Eh... how can you forget us? We're your brother you know!Remember or not? Eggtart?!
Gay Coach:Egg what tart? Egg what tart?!

It was fun. But Kim, WHY EGGTART?!

So, yeah. The party rocked. Plus I got a pink balloon!!!=)


8.21.2004

Wow.

Today, Simo just praised me. No. Really. I remembered halfway through her long speech cum scolding that I had actually filed my Science. Wow. The fact that I've actually filed it...woah. The MIRACLE that i've actually REMEMBERED...WOAH. So she was like, " See ah, 2i, even Dawn has filed her Science ah." And I was like, *blink blink* "Even though she can be quite(struggles for a suitable word) absent-minded you know.-blah blah blah-" At this point, everyone starts consoling me.

It sounds okay, doesn't it? But let me explain. It sounds all right on paper. But the way she says it makes it sound like an insult.

I never want to be teacher's pet. I'll rather be teacher's-pain-in-the-ass. So there.

God bless.

Teacher's Day Presents

Guess what? We're supposed to give our form and co-form teachers presents right? Deborah came up with this really good suggestion. So now we're gonna give Lao Shi 2 movie tickets to go watch movies since she likes to watch movies so much. MagSim gets ...bread. But I suppose she gets what she deserves. So you can't blame us.

God bless!

With Reference to Z.Y.'s erm... accusations*ahem*

"Single" by Natasha Bedingfield

Ah yeah that's right
All you single people out there
This is for you

I'm not waitin' around for a man to save me (Cos I'm happy where I am)
Don't depend on a guy to validate me (No no)
I don't need to be anyone's baby (Is that so hard to understand?)
No I don't need another half to make me whole

Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't

[Chorus:]
This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant

I'm single (Right now)
That's how I wanna be
I'm single (Right now)
That's how I wanna be

Ah yeah Uh Huh that's right
Don't need to be on somebody's arm to look good (I like who I am)
I'm not saying I don't wanna fall in love 'cos I would
I'm not gonna get hooked up just 'cos you say I should (Can't romance on demand)
I'm gonna wait so I'm sorry if you misunderstood

[Chorus]
Everything in it's right time everything in it's right place
I know I'll settle down one day
But 'til then I like it this way it's my way
Eh I like it this way

Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't
'Til then I'm single

This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant

That's my answer. Happy now, Z.Y.?

~Yoake
Woot!

Going for the interview this Saturday!!!! I still can't believe I made it. I think I only got 1 question correct. So that means the others didn't answer anything correct? -_-?

Ja's party after that.

God bless!

Health Talks Stink.

Some stupid lady comes to school. Gives us a health talk on EATING DISORDERS. Ha! I wasn't even paying attention to the 1980s plus video. Okay...so maybe I was. In the wrong way.

So anyway, immediately after that, i go and grab an ice-cream and eat KFC.
Talk about ironic.

God bless.

YAY!

I got 127 for bowling. Though it's not my highest score, it's still good, right?=)
NDP and Singapore Idol

I watched the Parade live! But I was at the Grandstand, so I don't think anyone saw me.Thanks to Eleanor for the tix, and her uncle and cousin Amanda for the great company.The Parade was...short.And then we picked up some of the confetti.And we went to Amanda's house, cause apparently, it was Eleanor's uncle's birthday. So Sandra, Amanda's P6 sister( with some help from her mum?, and absolutely NO help from us :P)made this huge Baked Alaska thing. It was damn good.

And then I went home. And woke up at 10am.And found out that Yam and gang were having a sleepover at Ken's house.Poor Jono. No breakfast for him.

But I was unsympathetic, cause I was stuck at home doing my homework(wich I still have NOT finished), while they were playing Kirby's Air Ride.Not fair.

Singapore Idol, which I missed(no thanks to the Parade) was apparently funny.Not that I would know, since Yam didn't tell me anything. and I had to get it from other sources. Thanks a lot, expressionless-yam thing.

There was like, a lemon-tree guy, the stripper, the guy who lost his voice(literally), the opera singer, and today, THE BANANA GUY! Woot!

Yam, I want to kill you. WHY ARE YOU STAYING AT HOME!!!!!!!

And so, God bless and when is Ja's party?!

AC Superstar

Heya, I'm back from the American Idol-like AC Superstar!

As usual, I call Yam and ask him where he is. After all, he does have my ticket...He(deaf as usual) can't understand a word I'm saying, and in frustration I hang up. You can't really blame me.

So instead of meeting Cryssie at the canteen, I end up at the covered area, which is crowded like hell. and he still asked me to meet him there. I look around. Nope, no short people around.A lot of short skirts though...then pissed off, I call Yam again to ask what he's wearing for easier identification. He tells me confidently that he's wearing black.As if.

Soon, he walks? up to me and my mind goes like, who the hell's this person and why is he waving like an idiot at me?! Then my mind does this whole recognition thing and finally,FINALLY! I get to see what he really looks like. actually, he kinda looks like Shaun No. 2 from the Basic camp. The gay one.

He's wearing a NAVY BLUE shirt, and then we had a debate on wherther it was black or navy blue.Colourblind freak.*mutters*.I decide to be nice and pay him the $10, only to receive a ticket which looks like someone really mishandled it. In which case, is true. Damn you, Szus!

Anyway, we get in and I sit with Cryssie. Right at the back on the stacked chairs. Perfect view by the way.Then the show starts and Cryssie wastes her $10 by getting her sketch book out and drawing.

Actually, the show wasn't too bad.It was...okay.as in, the vaguest sense of the word. But then I thought the guy(Jonathan?)could sing quite okay. Except his sore throat kinda screwed it up. And the teacher(what was her name?!) was freaky. She was like a carbon copy of Cryssie.Very,very freaky.

The show ended about 10.30? I wanted a refund from Yam, but he wouldn't pay me back. Then, surprise! I also finally saw what Ossie looked like. I get chills down my spine just thinking about it. Cryssie, you were right. He is nerdy.

Afterwards, I decide to ditch Cryssie and take the bus. I bump into Yam again, but I walk past him instead.Then we start sms-ing each other when we're only about less than 10m away from each other.

In short, this day has been extremely normal for me. And boring.

Looking forward to Ja's party!It's on the 21st, right?I think it is.

Anyway, God bless everyone! Maybe also the guy who won to make his sore throat better. It made my ears die.

Tuesday

Ja makes an apperance and immediately Lao Shi is pissed...then she surprises everyone by allowing Ja in the class. Ja responses by jumping into class and as usual, falls over something. Not surprising really...

Only 3 more days to AC Superstar! Yay! Yam hasn't bought tickets yet. I'm actually considering buying tickets from the pathetic AC prefects downstairs, who are NOT selling anything and are looking for excuses to talk to the girls.Poor Victoria Martin. If I had to go with them everywhere to sell tickets I would go crazy too...

Science and Home Econs tests after this...ah well.

God bless!

~Yoake

8.01.2004

I might have a chance now...

NJC AAT. Let's just say, I might get in, and leave it at that. Math was a killer. How the hell was I supposed to do the simultanous equation?

2x+3y+2=0
2xy=-1

How was I supposed to do that? Huh? Huh?!Thank God for the Kit Kat.I was almost about to hyperventilate.Almost. Luckily I didn't go there. Yet.

And... Cryssie and I didn't watch Ella Enchanted. Instead, we went to Kino, the library, and Borders.
For once, I actually spent more than her. If that was humanely possible.*snort*

Plus, the bus ride was...interesting. Cryssie sketched a guy on the bus. Only, he was standing right next to us!!! Cryssie, sometimes... you have no sense whatsoever. And calling me trice just to tell me he was cute? I mean, Hello?! How about The Other Person? So mean, hurting his feelings like that...PLUS he was NOT cute, probably in the John Wong category...

So, God bless, everyone!

I'm Jittery!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!Only one more day till the AAT!!!

Math revision?Check.Pencils?Check.Eraser?Check.Ruler?Check.IC?Check.Me?Check.English revision?English revision??AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!*freaks out*

On a lighter note, I can't wait to go to Orchard again..I have LOADS to buy from Kino, HMV, and I wanna watch a movie! Not to mention Marche food...=P

So anyway, God bless us on this fun-filled Ja day!=)

MG Musical: Making the Grade
 
I loved it!It was so nice, and the primary girls were so cute! Well, cuter than the huge manical laughing lump sitting next to me at UCC, also known as Cryssie's brother. *sigh* Suppose I can't complain, since I got the ticket free...
 
Then I was supposed to met Yam there, and we kept smsing and calling each other(not to mention going all over the damned place)but always missed each other. I mean, how cliched is that?! It's like those Taiwanese dramas kinda thing...anyway, we finally met when they found Cryssie and gave her 10 roses.10!!From Bry, Ken Wei, Darren and I suppose Ossie too...Cryssie gave me one!I love roses=)
 
Actually, I saw Bry, Ken and Darren but I didn't look at them. Too busy looking for Seth. Damn him. So, after that whole night, I still don't know what Yam looks like.
 
Sorry, Yam!
 
Anyway, God bless!
 
~Yoake
 
 
P.S. Anyone going for AC Superstar? Yam helped me buy a ticket. Thanks again!=)

7.30.2004

Thanks to Asra for helping me set this up and stopping me from procrastinating further.

Also, thanks to Ja for introducing me to blogs last year?Or the year before?

Finally, all I have to say is stay happy,people! and have a safe trip Ja!=)

God bless!
