Today I gave the beady stuff to my frens like noraini,faizaeh,yiyen...and today we had pe and it was volleyball....actually,I think it's better than running 2.4km....also,we received our chem test and I passed...luckily....:P....though I was below average....and today during a. maths....ms kuck nv come...she's on mc....then mrs song came in and let us discuss about homecoming day stall...hope it's a success for us....then we thought we had free period for ss,but ms ang came back...and during chinese,we had to write this compo which I finished on time..

And then I was wrongly accused today cos SOME1 thought my aiming very good,can help 'pin' hair by a very great and far distance....and jus becos I was laufing made me the main suspect...I laugh a lot and cannot control myself normally....and cannot stop one,so need ppl to say 'calm down' esp. by eve....thanx....
I wonder why ppl are still scared of showing other ppl their daily lives even though they blog online...for me,blogging means that the WHOLE WORLD can see and read it...and they can easily find you lor....or else why would there be a WORLD WIDE WEB?

Today we had the geography test which was quite difficult but there was not enough time...so no point studying..even when you dun have the speed to write down all the points...then today got fire drill in the 1st 2nd lesson...our class no teacher..cos ms ang nv come...then my classmates were wanting to be burn to death since almost no one(about 4 onli) moved...and it rang like after 20s...the class was still in the room...and so,when we got scolded by other teachers,we then moved down and got down the wrong route...LOL....we were the last class...

And also,we had sjab today...and it was very 'non-comp team' since this sat is actual competition....cos they wanted to get everyone involved...and had PT too...lying on the wet ground...plus the sec 4s have today as their 2nd last activity...some cried....some hold back their tears...I would be very sad when it becomes my turn next yr...I'll be missing yiyen,noraini,faizeah....very much...and I was quite enthu today...

And I haven't do my hw...the chinese newspaper article....I'm giving a lot of bead stuff to my frens...and oh,good luck to comp team & choir!My magic beanstalk grew AGAIN....has a leaf in the seed...my sis tried showing it to me....I drew 'cute chibi' ppl today...dun feel like toking about bad stuff lor...

Today I bought candy to class...and almost every1 had their share...
And it was funny...cos when ms abbey nv come,the mdm seng came and the guys behind wanted to eat,then they told her that it is plastic and is not edible when asked wat's that...then they ate the 'plastic' when she wasn't looking and a lot of ppl were like wanting to eat it..I dun understand why it's a fave...
Then after recess,some1(cannot tell who,but it's one of the guys) went colouring on the sweets..and it was offered to ger...and then he sniff them b4 eating for he suspected something...but he swallowed them in whole...LOL...I was laufing non-stop...and then ishak(is it spelt like tat?) offered me a mentos and in the end,the mentos sweet had a 'makeover' and was going to be offered to ger..but in the end,it was thrown away since ger discovered it....haiz...not fun liao...

I dun usually tok about some1 who make me sad cos that might be very obvious...so i usually jus keep quiet...when I'm sad or after toking a lot to anybody or I jus dun feel like toking...BUT anyone could jus 'encourage' me to talk...by toking to me first lah..esp. when some1 thinks I'm irritating...then I will be motivated to talk...I'm not da irritating kind,I jus need one's attention..jus give me an answer to my question or comment and I noe that my presence is there...I onli talk when ppl dun talk to me..and that's when I feel weird and wonder if U're okay..need to go find midi for cme project...tml got geo. test...wish me luck...got to do work now...my magic beanstalk showed the carving liao,and the whole seed jus popped out...and I spilled the soil...oops..

Today was absolutely relaxing cos we had 4 periods free time and went early for recess...and then for these 4 periods,I went blabbering to eve...bet she was irritated cos she was reading a book at the same time....then during this free time,there was music played in class and like every1 was relaxing and the class was like very slack...everybody was chatting except for those studying one lah...then SUDDENLY,ms yeo passed by and heard music and STARE at us...& the music stopped....LOL...but it continued when she left...and during assembly,we had this difficult humanities quiz...which I think of it as a test...since it's so hard to do...and I jus tik gam....anyhow choose the choices...and tml,I think we got 4 periods free cos english teacher is not coming...YEAH!!

And oh,during the free time,I consulted eve and asked her some questions to find out what NORMAL teens are like...and I find myself as a abnormal teen eventually lah...but I think I'm quite ok...as in I enjoy my current life and I am happy...cos most teens nowadays have steads...and oh,U might be 1 of them reading my blog now....and I think one sorta of become DEPRESSED about their steads occasionally..esp. when one cannot see his stead...my conclusion is that by 18 yrs old,almost all teens have their gf/bf as their 2nd or 3rd love or EVEN more...

And i think I am going to be the one who gets into a relationship much much later...*starts singing first love*.....but I think it does not bother me so much or jus not at all.....AND my younger sis keeps saying I am 'Hao Mei Li' from 'U are the one'...LOL...
P.S:My magic beanstalk is showing the <3>

Today i went for tuition and was given hw...wau lau....my sch hw not yet done then got tuition hw....sianzz ah!Now,I prefer not to go out so that i can get my homework done...but now..I dun have the mood to do it lor...and instead,I went decorating wif my fabric paint....smearing them on my shirts to make it look kewl...I still have lots of work to be done and a geo. test on wed...now I am having a queasy stomach...that's why I feel a bit sick and jus slack around....

Today,I went for tuition and reached there half an hr earlier...then the uncle tell us can go in..and so,the room was without lights...and I managed to find where the switches were...and the other guy who arrived too did not bother and only just look around in the room trying to find...dotzz...it's like the switch will come to him lor...
And guess wat?I met my pri sch fren,cynthia at KFC at kovan when I was eating wif my younger sis....and yesterday I jus chatted wif her on msn...LOL...then I asked her to come for xms homecoming day...trying to promote it...
After that,I went my grandma's house and watched HOWL's moving castle vcd which my 2nd aunt bought...it was kewl though i watched it for the 2nd time...after that,we dropped by this karang guni shop that sells 2nd hand things including old money notes...thought of selling mine...cos I keep old ones...this shop was pretty amazing cos it's big as the place a cinema previously...it's located in eunos...then we went AMK for dinner....
And now I am at home,bloggin and watching my magic beanstalk grow as it has already shown its seed...and I received my edusave letter,which is left wif $100+ since there's money added for this yr...or else,I would have $4+ left from last yr...haven't touched my hw yet:3

Today is a public holiday...so I went causeway point in woodlands...packed wif ppl there...I went shopping and checked out the 'more than words' shop and it's cooler than last time cos got all the kewl and kawaii things...I bought some cute and cheap stuff...thought of giving to my frens for birthdays...like janet,dorcas,jia hui....but still dunno how to divide the gifts among them...and maybe they dun treat me as a close fren at all...though..and i went to the kewl shops like mini toons and comics connection...then i went to hougang mall for dinner...

Then my father bought 1 magic beanstalk for me and my younger sis to share...and I saw the gransazers vcd after dinner on the top level...I noe it's a kid show...but it got the cute japanese cast....and songs LOL....I decided that I will ask my older sis to buy 'my sassy girl' vcd instead of TT's vcd....and *********** and ****** birthday are coming...but I dun noe when it's the former's exact date...mus go check out...

Today is thur and tml dun need to go to sch since it's GOOD FRIDAY...I haven't been blogging yesterday cos I went out and got lots of studying to do...I found out that I got the highest for a.maths test yesterday...yeah!I'm so stunned when i heard I was the highest...and for e.maths,we got 2 papers back...and for the 1st one,I got highest again...and was STUNNED again...but for the 2nd one,the teacher called my name first and ppl thought I get highest again but I jus pass...LOL....

I am now under pressure cos i get highest for the a.maths test...I cannot believe myself...but I dun think I will score as well for the later tests...maybe permutation and combination is simpler for me to do and understand....:P....I am now looking for buyers for my older sis's books esp. Sweet valley and quite a lot of ppl are interested...got 2 ppl or 3...LOL....then i want to buy TT's vcd but dun have in hougang mall...haiz...cos my sis say want to buy for me...and I oso want the message beanstalk but it's still very x....and it's rather small unlike what I saw in compass....better to grow my own...can save money too...

Today my eyelids were dropping in the morning cos I very sleepy....then I sold my SV books to helen....and it is hard nowadays to find someone to buy them....and today in class,every1 was very sian during phy....then geography test postponed to next wk & I had been studying for it for the past few days LOL....then today ms kuck told us about her adventures...it was quite interesting...and I talked alot in class,irritating eve...sry!
I went sch library after dismissal..and met noraini there..she was crazy as usual and I ended up sort of 'encouraging' her to read storybks by picking some really interesting ones..LOL...as i was waiting for time to pass rather than toking,I picked some realli cool art books and started wowing at them...then debbie joined me and was too 'wowed' by the products made in the art bks....it seemed that we are really into art together....we were pointing and toking non-stop until i finally finished the book...noraini was too influenced...she's gonna do some dough-making for some handicrafts...while I think i will do this ice cream stick key-chain...

I dun think I want to put the juke box in here cos it takes quite some time to load and I dunno how to put in MY list of songs HERE...that's why some of the mp3 that are here are english pop or wateva that I am not interested in and pretty weird....I think i'll put some soothing midi and that shld be enough...cos i want ppl to enjoy reading my entries and enjoy the music at the same time...

Finally,school reopens today....like normal days,mani in my class had not done our hw...me too...I didn't do EL ws and had to 'consult' eve for the ans..LOL...then we received our english common test...I got quite gd...or known as jus pass....and today got this debate during assembly and it was really noisy at the hall....in the morning,there was a joke for me...that is that I got my straits times without the LiFE! & IN section and got another copy from my teacher...when I reached home,I discovered that i have 3 straits times newspaper...LOL....

I haven't do my EL ws yet...and there was oso 1 joke among sjab ppl...which is when we saw each other today,the others will say 'Hello,excuse me' as a new & creative way of saying 'hi' esp. when we been thru the toughest times together...I am realli sorry to those who link me to their blogs...cos I nv link them...:P...I tried linking about the code didn't work out...I'll try to link....

And oh,Spring aka Haru is coming....and so is the annual cherry blossom festival...I'm quite excited about it though it has nothing to do wif me cos I'm stuck in singapore...LOL...and 15th april is international friendship day...hope I can thank my frens on that day by giving them goodies....

Wah....I finally finished my training camp....it's totally fun lor....cos my grp didn't concentrate on winning esp. my sc....we enjoyed ourselves...cos we had lots of fun....and it was a fun process...we had our very own special experience including going to a wrong destination.....my grp got along very well...I didn't bother about winning...those who won got instant noodles...and got more things to carry back home...LOL..
I haven't done my el hw yet...cos I very tired and it's sooo difficult for some1 with poor el foundation to do....plus I haven't study for my coming tests....school's opening tml....haizz....today had to wake up early for tuition...yesterday i reached home late cos of camp mah...then very tired today lor....and with aching body...so sianz....*yawns and wants to snore*

Today is the day b4 my camp starts...it's tml at 8...I haven't got my walking stick and mug yet...and I'm not sure of the skit too...guess that i will have to read off the script...plus i keep on smsing my sc wif lots of questions though she nv reply...but all were solved when I called her...it's from 16 hrs from tml's reporting time...
I think it's gonna be TOUGH for the first 2 days and a bit relaxing for the 3rd...moreeva,we have to survive on instant noodles for the next 3 days....I hope I dun get signed on EXTRA most importantly....and I hope no night duty...and I do hope to get promoted...
It's lucky this yr we dun have to bring uniform and we will be staying at sentosa...but I hope it's a lot better than last yr though it doesn't seem to be more fun than last yr when marya lead us...but I think my sc,yvonne is good enough lor...cos it's hard to be a sc...

See me again on 19th or 20th...and I'm not gonna be online from 17th to 19th(9pm)....

Today i have started packing my things for the camp....then i sang angel's song today and read the translation...it's really touching and I read GREATFUL DAYS too...it's filled with motivation...I started doing my homework cos there are two days left to complete...plus the THICK EL WS!I dun intend to do it afterall since there's a lot...AND there are 2 tests when sch reopens...I haven't even read the textbks yet...and was LOST completely among the pages of the textbk when i was doing chem. ws yesterday....To me,this holiday is like NOT a week-long holiday...haizz...dotz...diaox...

Today besides going to the sjab meeting in the morning,I am RUSTING at home and I have not spell it wrongly...it's not resting cos i am decaying at home wif nothing interesting to do...besides thinking of doing hw which irks me....so I decided to blog early...then do my hw later at night...
Imagine being stuck at home wif no interesting TV programmes and I have read finished the newspapers and all(2 only) the storybks that i borrowed...somemore I cannot go out wif my frens...and my mum is cooking tonite...which means no going out...*yawns*....
I think this yr camp is not going to be fun cos there are no sec 1s in our grp coming for the camp plus we have a quite last min skit...and audition is tml...and i am not going for I have some matters on...

I want to buy the TT's VCD le....then 2day,my older sis surf net and saw some cool and cute bags...and she like want to buy but it's very X...and I think one of the bags was pretty hip..I thought if I wanted that,I would have used an ordinary tote bag and decorate it to look like that..and add more deco according to my flavour/taste....can save money plus U get ur own one-of-a-kind design....I want to be a fashion or graphic designer!Designing T-shirts is oso cool...^.^v

Today i went for tuition...and after that,I found my sis downstairs waitiing for me to go karaoke...oops,I thought yesterday she went....but it's today...I sang a lot of FIR songs and I truly enjoyed it...

After that,we went to grandma's house for a while and went hougang mall after that..AND I SAW...TAKITSUBA HARUKON(wateva the name was).....the tackey & tsubasa vcd!!!!I saw INSPIRE too...which was quite long ago released but I didn't saw that b4....but I cannot buy!Haizzz......TT looked very hippy in the 70s clothes in the concert esp. TACKEY!!!

After that,I got a big stomachache and went home and vomited....maybe I didn't eat b4 I sang...and I had little energy and bloated up the next minute...I'm jus crapping..dun take it seriously...still got lots of hw haven't do....got meeting at 8 tml.....camp coming....

Today,I got sj meeting and left quickly for tuition...then i dunno wat's wrong wif me...cannot do the questions correctly and my mind went blank...then the teacher had to keep telling me I was wrong....I didn't bother to do my hw yesterday and today....
So sian lor...rain again and so I blog since my com already connected by my sis...actually today I can go karaoke...but nv go...a bit regret cos so boring at home...i read finish a book today...cos need to do 2 bk reviews plus this REALLY thick el ws that was so troublesome to do...wif different words with the same meaning and have to fill them into sentences....like fill in the blank....
I think I'm jus a fair-weathered fren who can be close frens to others but will miss out on great friendship....and my frens don't confide in me that much even if I'm their close fren & they confide in others instead of me.....maybe it's becos I'm too loud-mouthed or that I will always discourage them to do wat they like....and I think the fault lies with me...
I dun noe why I feel that ppl think that i have a attitude prob..and treat me like I have...esp. those who are not close to me....I DUN have a attitude prob....even if I do,I dun even show much or some to the teachers(except when i 'm in a very bad mood)...much more show to my seniors or frens loR!
I noe those who think like that atre actually quite nice ppl...jus dun understand why they r like so hate me like that....maybe it's my fault of being too serious or too self-confident....
I changed my background for a better look and I changed the midi yesterday...camp is coming...I'm quite nervous....

I dun understand why ppl are so not understanding and clever with selfish ideas....and from time to time,I think myself of being very evil or bad,but I finally noe that there are more of these ppl around....and I have been tolerating them much more than they have tolerate me for my misgivings...luckily,they r not my very close friends....

I dun mind being more qian ju(tolerating),when ppl RESPECT me and not take me for GRANTED and dun take me as their SERVANT...or their fren who will help them surely when they need help and jus forget about me after U get my help....I think ppl are jus using me.....I'm sick and tired of that....
And from now on,I will try to be less tolerating cos it will be my fault if I harmed anyone indirectly....I hate to hurt others....but ppl still hurt me...I'm utterly disappointed...I jus want ppl to respect me more...
I dun mind ppl giving me nicknames as long as U treat me wif respect....I dunno if those ppl I'm pointing out are reading this....anyone who thinks she/he is not guilty can jus treat it that i'm jus nagging to some ppl out there...Ok?

Today,I'm truely tired wif rosyth sch duty in da morning...with 15 casualties to treat...I was the BLUR one there...after that,we returned to sch...and I was tired mentally for I failed my ss test badly...and I feared being told to quit sj by my parents...

When i returned to class..we had cme....our project was not yet done finish....so we didn't present...and we got lots of holiday hw...and so much that I think the teachers thought of this one wk-holiday as a whole month lor...

After that..we got sjab...I and sarah very tired cos she be PC and I be IC...and got footdrill promo. test...plus it was raning for a while...and it stopped..then rain again everytime we do in the parade sq....and when it was my turn,after being divided into 2 grps,my squad was stuck in this squeezey path and my squad sort of almost collided wif the other grp....LOL....then i had to give turning back...and plus that water bottle which stood there and mininise the area...

Haizz...I'm now stuck at home...maybe I'll do my hw later..cos I got camp next wed to sat...sianzz ahh....need to go for meeting at 8am tml and got tuition after that...cannot watch the jap gransazers.....though it's a kid show on kids' central...but the cast is veri attractive...:3

Today got sjab...do so mani footdrills...so tired lor...then jasmine nv come to sch today...I be IC for fri...so sianzz...cos nedd to fall in early...and I got rosyth duty that day...haizz...

I failed my hist. story badly didn't even get 1/4 of the total marks...failing tests these few days...I think I MAY fail my SS too...but helen tell me not to say the bad thing,or it may happen...but it's hard to say if it's true...better believe than regret....
I think I wrote too much for my el compo to be passed up tml..and luckily chem test supposed to be tml is postponed to after holiday.....

Haizz.....tml got YANKEE company meeting...then go home need to prepare stuff for tml...so sianzzz...and will get home late..and get scolded.....so tired plus got PE tml....>.<

I dun noe how to put mp3 in here and can't seem to find my faves anywhere...and I dunno which midi is pleasing to the ears..I see or rather hear a lot of ppl's blogs got slow soothing midi...but mine,is a bit fast and happy and frightening cos of the change in note or wateva...any suggestions to wat kind of music I shld put?

I found this webbie called musicstreet.com.sg and it rox...like yesasia.com but this web can listen to some of the songs the album has...
Today I failed my a.maths test *sobs* though I passed my phy. test wif flying colours...i think I will fail hist. & ss too...
I'm also in quite a bad mood today cos of my results but helen told me to work harder & eve laways told me not to worry...good to have them as close frens...
Also...yesterday..I realised that other ppl write entries toking about their own matters that most dun even know..and like only less than 10 know wat they referring to...infact,I dun even noe wat they are sad/happy about,LOL...it's pretty pointless...so I rather tell about things that ppl can understand...

Let me continue my story..I noe it's boring...that's why I have to blog to say it cos there will be no one to tolerate my long-winded complaints....

When ppl treat me for granted now,my another personality will appear...that is that I dun care,dun ask and dun talk....let me introduce the two of mE...

YuN~
-Nerdy gal wif specs
-Teen who looks bewildered by stories of friends who go out wif other frens...
-Black hair,black small eyes...
-Bob haired

KuMo~
-Fashionable gal wif blue-purple spiky?pixie? hair
-Has a lot of freedom
-A bit bad-girl kind,attitude person

LOL...I noe I'm lame....it's jus a kind of self-joke...
I jus be simple-kinded and off-guard to those I noe are good,as in not with evil intentions and too inconsiderate and proud..
However,I am on-guard and thinking at full speed about my actions and etc,TO those who are not worth friending...

Today,I'm not in a good mood though I don't show it...I think ppl do treat me like granted...they dun noe of my existence until they need someone to provide them something that they cannot find on others first,then look for me...and ppl dun give me the attention I need though I give a lot to them...
I think I am always the giver and much less of a receiver...haizz...this is the reality of life...and if I keep on asking myself and there are no definite answers,won't life be boring?
I didn't get into sjab idol...so wat's the big deal?Even if I get in,it's a miracle cos there are many important reasons that I won't get in...U understand why if U noe me well...if I do get in,few will give me the attention and don't even know of my existance...

Well....if I'm gone one day,no one will realise it...cos I'm just like the void card...

Still got lots of hw not yet done...cooped up at home right now...waiting for PRIDE to start...no interesting tv programmes to watch...so boring...at last...I've a TAGBOARD!Feel free to talk there....All r welcome...going to do my blog more nicely..so ta-dah/bye!!

Today I was being FORCED to a.maths tuition despite the fact I slept late on purpose & got there late...there will be no xms pupils there and mostly nanqiao(chau) students....
Also..I went to my grandma's house and watched tv whole day....reached home quite late....so sianzz...tml got a.maths tuition again and I think it's a different room from today's...forgot which rm liao though the teacher told me...I think it's hall 1 or 2....

Haven't do my hw....ughhh...got EL common test on MON & chem. test on thur or wed...got footdrill promotion test on friday plus cme presentation plus rosyth duty...

I'm very tired today...got sjab fist aid promotion test...heard that more than half of us failed the test...not surprising cos it's difficult...
I saw eve's blog liao...so nice...*envious*...today sch quite gd...dun have much lessons...I became more enthu today cos I kept singing angel's song in my head....
I got home today and got scolded for not washing my clothes and got pepperoni pizza and onion rings for dinner cos today is my younger sis's birthday...still burping....LOL
Still got hw not done....haizz...not doing today lor cos very tired...more relaxed now cos next wk footdrill jus need to practice and don't need to study...and next wk got rosyth sch public duty..YEAH!!!

I'm so tired these few days by SJAB.....and busy with hw that I didn't surf the net..I got my geo test & I FAILED!My chinese test marks were not up to my expectations too.....
On tues,my sjab idol went sorta wrong cos when I got lots of sec1s lining in front of me & the next min,they were gone & I became 1st in line...dotz...
Then yesterday,I received my tests & got my banding test back..I was happy wif my results....there was also a raiding of textbks too....luckily I bought mine home...it was sorta of very tense when everyone tried to clear their tables...like on a mission...LOL

Then today,I bought a packet of candy and my class ppl were addicted to it & they finished it up though my other frens weren't too keen on them ...:3Eve wasn't feeling well too...we had pain playing vollleyball...
I haven't study for my 1st aid promo. test tomolo...it's supposed to be more important than the banding test but here am I,still blogging about my boring life....my boots and uniform aren't ready yet...and I dun plan to do my hw for today....leave it for the weekend and oops,I have E.maths test tml...sure to fail since I have no confidence in my a.maths test which I took already...

Why can't I sing as loud as I want??????All becos all my songs are jap doesn't mean I cannot sing them.........When I am singing songs,I HATE ppl to call or interrupt me...then I won't get that feeling of singing that song AGAIN for the next few mins............... though i will force myself to sing it but I cannot regain THAT MOOD again.....
I wish I dun have to be so polite or goodie listening to others when they call me.....I could jus simply be bad....so bad that I listen to no one....I dun do that as I know this is going to ruin my life....that's why I'm not doing it!!!!!

If I can be bad....I will be very bad.....cos I can't tolerate ppl already at that point of time......now I am tolerating and being patient waiting for me to grow up and BE FREE!!!!!!I thought a lot already more than u think I did....I noe wat's best for me...I have already have my arrow aimed at my future.......I WANT TO GROW UP & BE FREE!!!!!I am TOLERATING always(but not tolerating everybody,only some) and I think I will explode someday and this will lead to a VERY DIFFERENT me.........
