Dear Orange,
had dry run this afternoon. Hahah..i realised i have great acting skills!XD After OP, rushed over to south beach to do cip. Weather was humid. Quite boring. Practiced OP speech for almost the whole time. Ate my first bowl of beef noodle(only left with a tiny weeny bit).
Went to get a close up view of the moon. Got to know some new friends. Then me, JQ, YW,Evelyn,Joanna and Eileen went to esplanade rooftop to slack. Very fun! We took lots of photos..haha stupid jump shots! They are all super funny! So i had a great day. But tired. Then trained home with JQ. Btw, thanks to BH for the mamamia cd! The show is great great GREAT!
AND..LAST BUT NOT LEAST, HAPPIE BDAE TO MY ONE AND ONLY BELOVET BROTHER!!!=D

Dear Orange,
i met someone rude and unfriendly today on my way home. I walked all the way from westmall shopping centre back to jurong!
Had OP dry run 3 today! Exhausted. Im glad Ms Kavi see our improvement! Im going to be Doris haha. I will need to choke, sweat and tremble during the group's skit! Btw, went to westmall after dry run. Met my cousin. Ate at Mos Burger then went to shop around. Brought my brother's birthday present and several earrings from watts in. Then me and Xinying went arcade to play and stupidly i forgot to take the time zone card. A man stole it away from us! Super obvious then when i asked him for the card, he kept denying. Okay..whatever lorr..somemore he's with his son! Bad bad role model!=(
Went to Macs to eat Mcflurry after that. Had a long talk. Hahah..then headed home. The weather was great, so i walked all the way home!=D
I hope tmr's dry run will be okay!

08A02 class outing ages ago!
Ah gu's birthday!
Me and my sis at night safari.

Dear Orange,
i rewatched THUMBELINA yesterday in cantonese!xD
I wonder what i'll do if i ever meet a girl as small the size of my thumb..maybe i'll take care of her haha. Let my pencil box be her bed, give her a piece of tissue as a blanket..staple bullet as her hair band!! Muahaha!
I was learning yoga from a vcd in the afternoon. Then in the evening i went to chinese garden for a jog=) sometimes i really need time alone to reflect on myself. I guess its time to start being more aware of others' feelings and show more concern to my family. I shall only think of the good side of others and not the bad.I will treat everyone nicely. I took 1 whole hour to reflect on my entire life..actually it has been quite fufilling so far. Perharps i need to widen my social circle. I will do more voluntary work to help others and i will speand more time with my family and friends! Ok..enough of that. So i was sitting beside a pond in chi garden watching the turtles exercising their limbs in the slightly brownish waters. 2 of them were swimming towards me happily when i signalled to them to comeover. I seriously think that they are the 2 terrapins my family released into the pond 3 years ago!
Btw, then came this old men who started feeding the turtles bread. So i sat there for almost half an hour watching them snatch the bread. The uncle was very friendly! He smiled to me!=D
Alright..so that was my trip to chinese garden. At night we were all starving while waiting for my dad to cook. So i decided to lend him a helping hand so that he can finish cooking faster.I wrapped wontons for him!! I folded then into many different shapes! I seriously think that im very innovative! Should get the most innovative student award! But anywaes, after putting the wanton into the soup to cook, they all look the same coz it became very wet and flimsy=(
Alright, today was super slack! Last day of school, yet no lessons at all! Taught sheryl the dance i cheorographed for her. Haha..she was quite hopeless. Like super weak..Sheryl must be dance with more style and energy!!=D

A quote to share:
When the night is at its darkest, it means that the sun will soon rise up. Press on..don't give up!=D(for those O lvl students ba)
Dear Orange,
yesterday was a super humid day..yea so last night me, dad, sis and bro all pigged together in the master bedroom where the only source of air-con is at. Didn't really sleep well though..coz abit cramped ahah!
Was awaken early morning by mum but pw meeting cancelled. Yea..so now im slacking at home. Went to eat breakfast with sis, had a fufilling meal=D Sis found a part time job already..yea so happy for her. Hope bro finds one soon too..then nobody will be bugging me at home=) haha..i really need a long deep sleep to reboot my energy. Don't really feel like going for cca later..
Btw, had a long chat with sis..so actually this world is not as simple as i think huh..but im happy with the life im leading now hehe=)
Off to rehearse for OP=D

none of my group members are replying me. Hai, hope everyone rehearsed hard for OP. Today morning started off fine. Me and my dad and mum blasting the karaoke player at the top of our voices. Haha..im really hopeless at singing high notes! My dad always sings off tune! My mum..not too bad ah..haha. So i was in rather high spirits.
But then, because of today's weather, first humid then now stormy, my spirits have been dampened.Im a bit down recently haha. I really feel like going to this far away island, stressfree, scenic countryside and be a farmer for the rest of my life. I can't handle my emotions at all! I haveno idea what i am feeling now.i think im confused with life, sick and tired of having to face humans everyday. I don't mind just making friends with plants because they don't talk they don't hurt. Haha i think im super emo coz of the stupid song im listening to now...orange you're my best buddy!

Dear Orange,
today is generally quite fun but tiring for me. Went out with dad, mum, bro in the afternoon to attend grandaunty's bdae buffet. Yum Yum! lotsa food! Delicious prawns! Yummy buns! Im sure i gained at least 1kg today! Btw, had a super fun time making fun and talking with my three little cousins! Hahh..we even played hide and seek in ntuc! Unbelievable right? A jc1 student running and screaming about in a supermarket!=D Well..im still v immatured i guess..
After that went to jp library with cousins. Borrowed 2 chinese storybks and went to AhGong's house. Watched "Money not enough". It was like a tragedy towards the end..i can't control my tears man!! Hai..
After that watch high school musical 2. I still think the first one is better. Will be watching the third one soon!YAY!! The "jin qu jiang" show was not bad! It ended off with a high note when Eason sang the song, which i happily forgot the title! It was very inspiring and touching!
25Oct08 sat
Dance ended early today. Didn't go to island creamery with the rest coz i was hungry for a huge meal and coz had to rush off for CIP. Ate lunch at foodcourt at peninsula. Yum! The yangzhou fried rice was delicious!(but oily)..And the workers there were very hospitable! I really enjoyed dining there becoz im not alone! Many smiley-faced female workers walking around haha.. So CIP was much fun today! Was assigned to work together with JQ at the place with alot of pretty metal-made flowers! Its really a pleasure studying the amazed looks of visitors faces when seeing that one side of the flower was dull and grey while the other side was totally colourful!! Hahah..anywae, me and JQ also noticed that many photographers had very obsene poses while trying to take pictures of the exhibit.
Made 2 new friends today! Evelyn and Binghui. They're really friendly people! Binghui even sent me his power ranger ring tone! Btw, the most fun part of the day was me and JQ dancing "yan shen" and hiphop when the place was almost vacant. Super rare to have such a huge and comfortable place to dance and hop around in!
Haha..then we endded duty, wesaw 2 weird bald men marching outside the toilet!!! I thought they were quite freaky, or maybe just trying to be funny, to fit in the "artistic environment" there. But ooo..actually they are a bunch of gangstes here to use the toilets!! Haha!! They're totally mad!
Okay..i am super exhausted today!!
The worst part is that i've been standing up all day long with that stupid bit of glass that was stuck within my feet. That i got from the broken pieces of glass form a glass clock while i was dancing on the stupid gym floor. hai..blame it on my luck. Well..i was staggering home like a drunkard btw the time i met mom and dad at jec. Dad took 30 min to help me take that piece of glass out!!
Ok..im tired now.
Hope to see natalie soon!
I will practice hard for OP!
Byes, cjiam

Dear ORange,
i must kick off the habit of saying "huh" and "erm"! Ms Kavi says its distracting and irritating=(
Btw, today's OP dry run went quite badly for me. I forgot my script!!!!The joke i was supposed to say was totally screwed!!=(( v sad..but i will try harder nxt time!! So the whole OP was alot better than the other time! I am so glad that we are all improving! We added in little elements of surprise which all failed!! HHaa!!! Super funny!!!!!! When CK burst the balloon during the sigificant IMPACT part,Ms Kan nearly jumped out of her seat! She let out a scream which sent me laughing like mad! Hahha..there are alot of other lame stuff we added in which were all rejected. Quite sad..=(( But i really felt quite accomplished from the first time we gave our presentation!=)
Im getting obsessed with silhouettes! I think they're really cool and emo too. Im gonna sing and read and sleep later.
Byes,

in the morning went to school to get results slip. Principal address was the most dreaded. Don't particularly enjoy looking at VC's face. After that, had group discussion for OP. Went to amphitheatre. It was breezy there. Very relaxing, my group likes the place. The girls had fun singing!=) YIng can sing super high pitch, and ber sang SHE's songs super well!! Hai..how i wish i can sing like them! CK was missing most of the time.
Had to rush off at 3.30pm for my appointment at NUH.
Hmm..so my MRI scan results are out. The tumor in my hand is abt 1cm by1cm. Its round and white. Haha..abit weird! Its super painful and irritating! Well..my dad and mum were making a big big fuss out of everything and bugging the doctor with loads of questions. Hhaha..luckily we got a super patient doctor. He really explained every single thing in detail to us! Hahah..but the bad thing was he couldn't speak chinese well. HAha..then he was like " wo ke yi jiang hua wen gei ni men ting". Hahahahah!! I cannot take it when he tried explaining in chinese!! I secretly laughed at him and smiled abit embarrassly.. haha but nvm.. hes good looking and can speak english well! And he's nice! Thats enough..unlike the other annoying doctor who kept interrupting.
Have to wait for tuesday for the doctor to discuss with the radiologists about my tumor. Hope its nothing bad! I am optimistic about this!!=)
wish me good luck for dry run tmr.

Dear Orange,
today's an eventful day for me! THe whole J1 level went to OCS, an officer cadet school. Its somewhere in boon lay but never see b4..its all embushed haah.
Ok so the morning started off with many young officers stationed at our school especially to bring us over to their camp. We were allowed to choose our officers. And guess what..theres this guy with the same name as weiqiang. So we decided to go to him..ahhha. Our guides were: Weiqiang, ZhiRong and Lenard. They generally did quite a good job explaining and zhirong is the friendliest=)
Ok...so the campsite..was huge! Can you imagine? The distance from the dormitory to the parade square can be as far as 2km! Then everywhere they go they must march!! OMG. Thats totally energy draining! No wonder my fat cousin can come out from NS so fit!
Btw, that military camp was supposedly for the top few percent of the whole army cohord..so the facilities were super good and whole place is very beautifully built up. It was a much nicer place than i had imagined an army camp to be. The parade square was a large squarish white and clean piece of land, surrounded by pretty bushes with flowers. I don't mind living there lorr..
And the best thing is..there're lots of good looking guys there!!!!!hmm...maybe i can consider working in the army.
Ok nvm. thats impossible. So we visited many different stations like the rifle shooting, throwing the "explosive", camouflage and some others.
The camouflage one is cool! They got 3 soldiers in their green uniforms and helmets decorated with leaves and face painted green with black stripes to go hide beneath the bushes in the forest. Then we had to spot them. It was super hard! Cannot see them at all!! I would say camouflaging is really a great self-defence skill to pick up. Cannot fight just hide lor.
So 3 guys were made to try out applying the green cream on their face and then putting some black cream to cover up the sharp and distinct features(i.e. nose, cheek bones, adam's apple) of their faces. Cool!! I wanted to try leh..but seems like only guys are doing it.
Well, next station was the SAR21 shooting one. On our way walking there(which was around 15min), we saw troops marching past and they were cheering super loudly! And their marching was extremely neat! I guess that would be one of the things guys can look forward to in the army! CHEERING AND SINGING! Wah..i could feel the team spirit mans. Ok so some people were picked to try out shooting at moving targets on the field with the SAR21. I couldn't coz my hand was in pain and most importantly i have a phobia for sudden loud noises.
I only tried the noiseless one where you pull a wire and this very intense bright light will go off. It was supposed to blind the enemy so that they cannot see us ahha.. But the thing was i am supposed to walk past the wire and trip it. But.. it broke and the thing didn't go off!! Hai..what a failure.=(
Andd...the best part of the whole journey was the the trip up to the tower! It had three sides, supposed to represent the navy, land and air respectively. And they each face different sectors of Singapore. The residential, industrial and military! It was a picturesque up there and the best thing was the strong wind! I love the scenery and really couldn't bear to leave=((
Hai..if i am a guy..i'll go to OCS! Although army life is torturous, but i guess it is the great friendships that you forge that will pull you through those 2 years. There are sweat and tears but there'll also be laughters and good times you'll never forget!I bet alot of grown up men still miss their army days. Btw, the ration food there is not bad leh.. Despite the amount of preservatives they put in the food to make it last for 2 years, the dumpling chicken rice and pasta tasted quite okay. Haha good luck to all the guys who are enlisted into army!! Just try to enjoy and cherish every moment you have there..its a once in a life time experience..
OHH!! And guess what.. each officer there will get this long, stylish golden sword when they graduate. OH mans!! The sword was shiny and cool!!! I must get a boyfriend from OCS haha.. then i can snatch the sword and runaway.=D
Yep..so today was an extremely fufilling day for me although all the walking nearly left me dying ahha. I was quite sad when we had to leave=( Hopefully i can return to the place someday!
21 oct 08
Today we finally submitted our binded final copy of WR to MS Kavi! I really felt a strong sense of pride and accomplishment. It was a moment of relief for all of us i guess=)FINALLY! AFTER STRUGGLING FOR HALF A YEAR! I hope we'll do fine for OP though. Btw, went to the teachers scholarship seminar with waimin. It was rather inspiring! Really made me wanna go overseas to study! But the thing is that i cannot get any scholarship coz i only got a miserable 9 academic points!! So probably will have to stay in Singapore forever=( I really wanna go somewhere and learn about other ppl's culture and life and gain greater exposure to other countries!! I really wanna experience a wholenew thing for myself!!! But nothing seems possible now..hai. Went back to school for dance. Mr Dan didn't come..which can be a good or bad thing ahha. Ms Ng Zifang taught us ballet ahah..quite tiring la.
Then on my way home, met jade, norine and guzheng on the bus. All the 4B ppl!! I suddenly realised that i miss RV and 4B so much.

OMG! JQ cut fringe! But actually look much nicer than last time lor!! HAhah don't kill me when u see this!XD
Dear Orange,
you must be really happy for me! WR is done!! We don't ever need to wake up middle of the night to rush out WR drafts, nor make endless discussions about how to organise WR etc. I am so proud of my group!! YES!!
I think my sleeping cycle have been screwed up with so many activities going on. Yesterday i slept from 5pm in the evening to 11pm at night. Then worked on WR from 11pm until 6.30am in the morning. Super funny my family all went to sleep then when they woke up and there i was still staring at the computer screen. My di was like, "You didn't sleep the whole night?!! Siao!" Hahah..but seriously, i was super energetic throughout!Haha, actally I was practicing polyphasic sleeping. Super cool! Slept for a short while then can keep awake for the rest of the day kind=) And when i finally finished WR i so super high that i started dancing the hiphop streetfest item! I swear my daddy looked at me with the " are-you-in-the-right-track-in-mind" way. Hahah..but i was quite guilty that my mum couldn't get to sleep the whole night until she plopped down on the sofa and started sleeping like a log at around 5am. I think its because of the typing sound from the keyboard. Sry mummy!
Ok so setting PW aside, energy audit was quite boring yesterday, coz alot of the families are not at home.
Im gonna bathe and go to school soon!
Write to you soon!

Dear Orange,
TOday's an ultra fun day! Supposed to meet greenlinkers at 8.15 outside the store, but woke up at 8.30! I was so fed up with myself! I set my alarm at 6plus and it snoozed for about 2 hrs but i still didn't arouse!
Reached school at 9.30am. Dashed straight to hall to the greenlink booth. Sherlene, Vivian, Huiyong and Silvesta were already sitting there. THe guys look super sian diao ahha. So the girls decided to design some greenlink stickers for advertisement. Haah..i was totally lousy at drawing so u can imagine those ugly stickeres i designed! Vivian drew lots of cute bees!
After a while, we went around to give out some bookmarks to the visitors. Haha..quite successful, got a number of ppl signed up for our cca=)
10.45 went off to prepare for hiphop performance later. Changed and put on make up. Did some warm up at the booth, wow! lots of people were watching us dance!!
Haha.. then it was time to perform! The hall was packed at that time!!
However, PA is really a letdown. Many technical problems with the music man!
Chinese dance had to dance twice because of that. "Dancing" was super emo! I love it! Indian and malay dance all very joyous=D
Then it was our turn...i was quite high ahha!! I think it was overall a good job! I enjoy hiphop!
Packed up greenlink booth at around 2.30pm. Was super uber tired. Went market packet fish beehoon. IT was delicious coz i was starving ahha=)
Then went out to meet my family at jec. Probably our few last times dining at the kopitiam there le. Its going to be closed down end of this month and im gonna miss the place like mad!! Since primary 1 leh!! Thats more than 10years!! oMg..how time flies!
Reached home at 7plus. Napped for awhile.
Gonna sleep soon coz tmr got energy audit.
Hahha..im gonna chiong PW tmr!!

Dear Orange,
i really hate pw. WHy must it be a year long when everyone is in agony? Hai. But i guess we can struggle through this last lap. The very last, thank god. PW have brought out the very serious side of me. I guess I look extremely grim and stressed out during pw meeting. Thats because i take it seriously. I totally don't understand why some ppl can just sit down there and remain silent for ALL meetings and say that we're talking rubbish? How can someone just not put in effort at all when PW is what we call groupwork?
OK enough of PW.
Alot happened during the weekends.=)
Saturday
Went for dance in the morning. It was extremely exhausting. Learnt the hiphop streetfest item. COOL!! I LOVE HIPHOP! Then when practice ended, went back to the nanyang girls' hostel with Vanessa. We changed and headed to city hall. Met Erning and her boyfriend. Haha it was really funny..both of them were sitting at the stairs waiting for us to come. Damn Obiang. Brought them to the South Beach exhibition site then me and vanessa headed for lunch. Was famished. After the late lunch, we went back to south beach to look at the pieces. Haha..van was super excited! Jianqing was volunteering as a guide there too. Haha..JQ and i both agree that Erning's bf quite gong..haha..
At 5 plus, we headed off to the city hall exhibition site. Me and van bought a new combo drink! First the aunty put a layer of pearl at the bottom, then some beancurd, then another layer of pearl at the top, then poured in some soyamilk. It tasted good!
The city hall building is actually a court no longer in use. The intricate design of the building really thrills me..those gigantic pillars, majestic doors with the merlion head as the handle of the doors! The interior is equally beautiful! The judges chambers are spacious and full of wooden cupboards, possibly to hang the judges' cloaks. The floor is properly carpeted and best of all, the whole place is airconditioned! Unlike south beach.
Then there's this huge room with transparent and window length curtains and comfortable sofas for us to sit on and relax! And the most happy thing is..there is a wall with half-length mirrors!! Me and van practice the hiphop item for almost one hour! Alot of ppl walked past and looked at us with weird expressions but i don't care!! I love dancing!! We hardly have the luxury of having mirrors to look at the way we dance!=D We were so engrossed in dancing that we forgot the time while Erning and her bf just sat at the sofa and rest.
We had less than an hour left to look at the art pieces. There are alot of nice ones!! The best is the one with the map of Singapore sprawled over the floor! The image is provided by google earth i think. The witty Erning found RVHS right away. I had a hard time spotting my house. Found NJC though.. and me and van wrote some notes there. I wrote,"I love hip hop!" haha!!=D
Then it was time to go home. Van went home by bus. Me and Erning then met JQ. We took mrt home together! It has been a long time since we got together! Hahah.. the 3 of us decided to jian fei togther! yes! Jiayou!=D
Sunday
Energy audit! We went door to door to check on the E-track devices and to do surveys. Imust say the people around the neighbourhood are generally friendly. Quite a few invited us to sit down and have a drink. I am thankful for that!=D Then theres this family of four, all wearing the same shirt. Oh wow!! I felt a very homey feeling when i was in their house haha.. Then there were cute little boy boys! Huiyong kept saying im a phaedopile!=( i am not! i just like kids thats all..i don't abduct them!
Oh..and there there was this block full of cats and birds!! I was horrifyed when a black cat with yellow evil eyes approached me! OmG! Then there were two other cats roaming around! I was screaming and hopping around!
Haha..then we had MACs for lunch! Today was a rather good experience, i must say!
At 2 plus, went off for PW at woodlands library. I lost my way while walking to the lrt. ahah..i don't have any sense of direction!
Monday
Learnt hip hop dance for PE! Very fun! Had hiphop prac after school! Yes!! I enjoyed myself although its tiring. Was deadbeat when i got home. Did PW AGAIN! And slept.
Tuesday
Cannot Tahan le. Wrote a note to mummy not to wake me up. I am so not going to school
Was having a headache when i woke up at 9plus. Now still feeling giddy. how??
Tmr's the results! I really hope not to get retained!
God please bless me with passes!
And bless my friends too!
GTg do pw.
Bye Orange!
