Happy Full-Month, Ethan! :D

Hahaha my whole family minus my dad's busy preparing for Ethan's full-month celebration later this afternoon.
I'm printing "ETHAN'S FULL-MONTH" on the computer, although it's grammatically wrong (but it'll help to save ink :D)

I downloaded the cutest Sesame Street font ever! Perfect for Ethan, whose nickname is Elmo :D

"Well, what can I say? You guys are like a couple with a warranty: SATISFACTION GUARANTEED!"

Couldn't agree more. :D

So that's All For the Best from Godspell =D

Need some pics to brighten up my blog. If not it'll just be one massive chunk of words after another ;D

11:12 PM

Ahh can someone good with codes help me? =/

I can't put my Archives and Credits in my sidebar, they always appear in the middle of the page before the blog picture finishes loading and then disappears when the blog picture finishes loading.
Darn.

Yesterday and today were pretty okay days! Coz I went shopping! :D

Yesterday, me, my mum and Auntie Cora went to the John Little Megasale at the Singapore EXPO! We bought lots and lots of stuff man. I bought a bag and 2 pairs of shorts and my mum bought snacks for our trip to Japan and stuff for my one-month-old nephew Ethan! :D
And after that Mummy fetched me to Tanah Merah MRT where I met Jolene, Audrey and Clarissa and we went to Tampines Mall to do the class shirts!
Haha Audrey and Clar had lunch already so I bought a curry puff and Jolene ate her bread lol.
We bought Kit-Kat ice-cream cones and went upstairs to the open space (the place of our very first class outing! ;D) to eat.
And OMG my hair is really getting in the way... It's freaking long and I want to cut it soon but I can't decide whether to cut fringe or not! And it's better to decide first and do everything at one go instead of visiting the hairdresser twice, then I'll have to pay more money right O:
Anyway yeah I was eating really unglamly coz the wind kept blowing and my curry puff was crumbly. And my hair touched my ice-cream and when the wind blew my hair blew across my face so I ended up getting chocolate on my nose...
Argh I'm so cutting my hair soon. Just need to quickly decide whether to cut fringe or not!

After that we went to Art Serve and handed our design to the uncle, but then we realised we had to sit beside the auntie at the computer and tell her how we wanted our design.
Wow we spent like a lot of effort and time and PATIENCE! trying to get the best-looking design...
One by one people left till I was the only one haha.
My mum was already shopping in TM while waiting for me to be done, so she met me at the shop and she told me she found a pair of shorts just like one of the pairs I bought at the EXPO, but at a cheaper price!
So today we returned both pairs of shorts to the EXPO and went to TM looking for the pair of shorts we saw yesterday.
And as it turned out... THE SHORTS WERE NO LONGER THERE! The sale ended yesterday and they sent all the Surfer's Paradise clothes back to the company D:
So we went to Isetan Century Square and we realised...
That there were actually 2 different types of shorts, which had the same design but were made of different material.
So the "cheaper" one my mum found at TM was just made of coarser material and the more "expensive" one we bought at the EXPO was made of a more comfy material.
So since the shorts made of finer material was the same price as the one we bought from the EXPO, I bought the shorts again. Lol.
And bought another pair of shorts too so I've got 2 new pairs of shorts again!
And then I bought a pair of flats. But at first my mum didnt want me to buy it coz all the sales promotion people were so lazy!
Like all the aunties were standing around talking and didn't bother to serve us. I had to look through the stack of boxes to find one with my size and colour.
But since it's nice I just bought it in the end ahaha.
I really hope this shoe doesn't cut me though... All but one of my flats cut my feet in one way or another ):

OMG if anyone managed to read till here I seriously applaud you... I'm just bored so decided to narrate my entire day LOL.

Yay there's jive lessons tmr, Far East dress-shopping with Audrey and Jolene (why is Sherilynn not going? =/) on Friday and Sunday's Ethan's one-month-old celebration as well as Beauty and the Beast!
And tuesday there's the outing with Eunice, Clara and Jasmine (America tour group ppl! :D). Oh man Jasmine's not going with us to Japan ):

I love watching So You Think You Can Dance! After the 2 episodes I've watched I think my favourite couple is Katee and Joshua :)
Katee's facial expressions are really amazing just watching her makes you feel all cheered up(:
And Joshua's a hiphop dancer but today he did Broadway! omg.
For last week's item they did a contemporary item to No Air. That was really... I gotta have it in my iPod so I can watch it over and over again!
And I agree with Joshua, I love Katee's smile too :D

Haha there're 4 episodes of CSI back-to-back!

I know that my memory is real bad.

I know that that is probably the reason why I didn't do well for exams.

But hey if I can't remember something then I can't remember something! I've tried really hard to remember what blue bags you were referring to but I can't!

Now my dad's all sarcastic and going "what's the point of telling her? She'll just forget it."

And when I was laughing at a Taylor Swift video he was like "She can laugh at a computer but don't care about what her father is saying."

I DID try to remember what blue bags you were referring to. And because I couldn't remember what on earth you were talking about, why waste my time? I go watch video lah.

And like halfway through the video I DID pause it to try and remember what you said. But couldn't. So I continue watching lah!

Even when I'm typing this post I still pause now and then to try and remember it. Zzz.

My memory's failing me, my brain's not good enough, I know.

I know.

11:03 PM

Hmm.

Reading Cedarians' blogs makes me feel a little alienated from the school. Like I don't know what's going on in Cedar anymore. And everything Cedarian just seems so... Foreign.
But I'm not sad I guess. I'm neutral =]
Coz this year's been pretty fun, so I don't think I made the wrong choice(:
Ahhhh yes I think I've grown a lot this year. Okay I'm not sure how much I grew physically coz I was one of the few (HEALTHY!) people who didn't have to go for the health check-up this year.
I wonder why not everyone has to go for the check-up though O.o
... But I've grown mentally and emotionally. And I think a lot of the credit goes to 09v12! :D
The class has helped shape me into a more sensitive, considerate person who has more self-awareness! I hope. Hahaha.
Okay I'll do more of this reflecting thing when it's nearing the end of the year.

Jive was interesting! Hahaha but I'm in trouble though I can't do channays (sp?) in single counts nor can I split.
But don't think need to do those parts right! Coz those are only for the partner dances. And like since there are only 4 guys which means there'll be only 4 couples in the dance concert which MEANS, that the rest of us won't have to do those single-count-channay and split parts because we'll be like doing our own partner-less jive dances at the side!
Unless they decide to include splits and single-count-channays and more difficult stuff into the calefare parts as well D: oh no.
Okay I better start pushing hard on my splits. Increase my threshold of pain then maybe next year I won't be afraid to pierce my ears anymore because I know that my threshold of pain is very high! HAHAHA.
Shingz man!

Ooohhh I wanna watch Coraline and New Moon! I missed My Sister's Keeper ):

Zzzz.

My dad just threw his alarm clock onto the floor, on PURPOSE.
Because the snooze light button sunk in and isn't working anymore.
And because he thought one of us at home spoilt it.
HELLO?
NONE of us were at home today, thank you very much.
And we all have no idea how the snooze button sunk in.

I don't get how throwing the alarm clock onto the floor, therefore smashing it into pieces will help.
And to top it all off, my mum lost her voice -_-

9:06 PM

To Jolene, Audrey and Sher: I am very sorry to say that I have not started on my part for the Chinese project yet :X

I just realised how much holiday homework we have.

And that I'm gonna have to do so much work because apart from the holiday homework I've still got truckloads of homework from my tuition teacher every week.

And I'm barely squeezing in time to do the tuition homework alone because I've been going out so often :X

Hahaha oops I like spent the whole of yesterday watching Gong Zhu Xiao Mei + going for the Japan tour briefing.

Okay I shall do my chinese thingy now. AH SHIT MAN HOW TO COMMENT ON MUSIC IN CHINESE. I don't even know how to comment on it in English!!! Oh well. I shall find a way.

T_T

Sorry group mates. Don't kill me =/

I can do it(:

These holidays are gonna be super busy! There's jive lessons, chinese project, math tuition... And going out :D
Hahaha.
Finally met 10v12 last Friday! The class is kinda quiet though, it was us seniors who kept making noise.
But I guess that's expected huh. I mean you can't expect a class to suddenly click together after meeting each other on the first day and become enthu XD
We were like that too last year, the class was damn quiet =X
But we didn't play Whacko or stuff that involved moving the tables and chairs to one side though (after the people on classroom duty just arranged them back into place! Hmmph.)
I remembered Ms Chia told us to arrange ourselves to sit according to birthdates, without talking. So we had to communicate using hand signals :D
Haha I remember me and Joey just hecked and talked softly. Then Ms Chia was like "Hey! No cheating ah!"
Man time passed so quickly...

09v12 got bonded after we added each other on MSN and started having retarded mass convos! Hahaha if you check my blog's entries like one year ago, you can see that it was usually me, Audrey, Joey and Jolene having mass convos, and we all didn't know who Renjie was.
And then during one mass convo we decided to have a class outing!
And because Bryan somehow managed to get his hands on the Class of 2009 contact list, he sent it to me and I emailed the class on the class outing (yeah, before school even started, which meant that that would be the second time we'd see each other, the first being matriculation :P) while Joey, who was the only one with unlimited smses at that time, smsed everyone too.
And Audrey, knowing that her blog often came up in Google blog searches for people who got into VIP, posted about the class outing too and announced to all the 09v12-ers to check their mails :D
And that was our most successful class outing ever! 14 out of the 18 local students :D
Not to mention 09v12 won IP Orientation 2009! We broke 11's record of winning it 5 years in a row!

Haha so I would advice 10v12 to do the same thing! Add each other on MSN, get high over retarded mass convos, organize class outings before school even starts!
But we decided to have a senior-junior class outing so that would help them bond too :D

And 09v12's gonna have a Christmas party at Sookai's house ;D

And I'm going to Japan! :D

NOOOO I don't want to be an IP2 ):

I want to go back to this time last year, where I was so excited about starting a new school life in VIP...
Meeting my classmates for the first time on matriculation day and then the super enthu 12 girls started adding each other on MSN and having retarded mass convos!
And we ended up planning a class outing even before school started, and we couldn't even recognize each other but somehow 14 out of 18 people turned up which still is our most successful class outing ever!
One year passed by so quickly.
Now the new batch of IP1s will experience what we felt last year.

Seriously, 2009 just WHOOOSHED by man.
Hahaha I can't wait for the Welcome and Matriculation Day this friday for the class of 2010! :D
Although I've got classroom duty (which I suspect means cleaning up the classroom before the IP1s arrive), I'm still kinda excited to see the new IP1s :D
It'll be kinda weird not being the "babies" of the school though...
IP2 will push us even further out of our comfort zones. We've been sitting comfortably in our comfort zones quite a fair bit in IP1.
But there's good news though...
Ms Farah is still our CT! Ms Chia will be the CT for 10v11 haha.
So hopefully everything wouldn't seem too weird next year...

Hahaha all the best to the newly inaugarated PSLs! :D

YAAAAAYYY Group 9 won the Financial Lit competition! :D

Our task was to be the financial advisors for the make-believe Cham family, whose financial situation was in dire straits.
My group consisted of me, Louisa, Lorraine, Grace, Sookai, Laisum and Gareth!
Hahaha all nice ppl! :D

I think we really must thank Grace for winning this competition. Like Laisum said, she's the cornerstone of our group, and the glue that held our group together! She and Sookai really put in a lot of effort for this project.
And we must thank Sookai for his awesome MacBook! With the beautiful powerpoint theme that made our presentation look amazing!
And Laisum for doing a lot a lot of work too! Omg lah she can come home at 9.30pm after having D&D meeting and STILL have enough energy to do research and compile stuff!
The next morning when she took out the papers she printed with super cheem-looking tables and figures I was like O_O lah.
She's like... Superwoman! LOL.
And Lorraine for doing research, Louisa for being an amazing speed-talker and researcher too!
And not to mention Gareth for doing a lot of research as well, and for being so entertaining during the presentation!
He made our presentation so much more interesting! So this is how actors come in handy during project presentations ;D
Haha I'm so glad that everyone in my group put in effort and came together and co-operated and still managed to keep our heads cool at the same time! Like we had no arguements and everything was very peaceful :D
And we won!
We each got $80 Borders voucher!

Oh, and this was an extremely eventful and interesting week. Apart from preparing for the competition (aka working on our presentation), I and 5 other students got to see a real life b******'s a******!
As Mr Goh said, the 6 of us are probably the only students in the whole school who got to see it. Most of the teachers probably haven't seen one in real life too.
Thanks to Ms Cai and Ms Chua for their quick-thinking and courage that we got to see the whole thing! :D
I had to lie that Ms Cai was my aunt LOL.
This is probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, unless I become bankrupt in the future :X

Hahaha yup so I really learnt a lot this week! And this week was really eventful-- It was filled with both positive and negative things, but I shan't say much about the bad stuff haha.
I don't want to be paranoid D:
But my gut feelings are usually accurate leh!
Okay nvm gaaahhh.

Hahaha Group 9 FTW! :D

I am so bored.

Waiting for Sookai to send me the final Financial Lit ppt so that I can write my script for the slides I'm presenting!

Group 9 FTW :D

Oh oh oh, and I get to fire the Foreign Domestic Worker!

Sweet :D

Jenga/Lego, anyone?

Those low-tech games rock so much more than the high-tech ones kids are playing these days, Counterstrike/Maple/World of Warcraft/who knows what.
And yes, I do mean kids.
It's payback time!
Hahaha I'm being pretty childish and boliao now.
I take my hat off to anyone who knows what I truly mean.
;D

Haha i was watching the History movie Nicole, Nur Sabrina, Eugenia, Shalom, Krittika, Rebecca, Ying Xin, Vivienne and I filmed last year for our project.

It's damn funny! Hahaha it was kinda fun filming at Fort Canning Park(: And using that tunnel thingy as Ford Motor Factory.
And wearing caps with hankerchiefs hanging out from underneath them to make them look like the caps Japanese soldiers wore lol.
And using our school blouses to double up as soldier uniforms! hahaha.
Me wearing a kimono-like sleeping robe (to pretend to be a Japanese) and Nanthini wearing a red vest over her Cedar blouse + white pants (to pretend to be an American, cos red blue and white you see ;D).
Hahaha and Rebecca and Shalom trying super hard not to laugh when filming their dialogue for the General Percival and Secretary-General Yamashita scene :D
Shalom, Vivienne, Ying Xin and Nicole pretending to "build" the cannon at Ford Canning (they just pulled the chains and patted the cannon here and there, it was really funny :D)
And Eugenia aiming a bubble gun at me and firing it, before firing Shalom, but I was lagging and didn't know I'd been shot so Shalom ended up falling to the ground first...
And in another scene, Ying Xin used an UMBRELLA as a sword (we really didn't have any toy weapons, so we had to make do with a bubble gun and umbrella) and poked me... And I had to pretend I was killed and fall onto the grass...
And the super funny scene where Eugenia and Nanthini fake-punched Shalom and Vivienne and they had to fake-dodge... Laughing at the same time...
Ahh... It all brought back good memories :D

And I was reading some of the scripts for CLDDS too. The CNY skit that didn't get through the audition, even though CLDDS was in charge of planning for CNY, the Sec 1 Orientation skit we did when we were in Sec 1, with me as the dumb teacher who always gets pranked, the Sec 4 Farewell skit where I had a really minor role...
Haha. If I stayed in Cedar I may have gotten the chance to take part in SYF. And can finally act on stage for the first time! But ):
Anyway, even if I had gotten a chance to participate in SYF, it would just be a minor role, cos like all the main roles are given out to the China scholars... Lol.

Hahaha but I'm more than overwhelmed with the number of times I had to perform this year for dance! Many rehearsals before each performance... Not to mention the intensive rehearsing we had for SYF at the beginning of the year. So I did get chances to perform :D
Just that it's dancing though, not acting...

In conclusion, although I kinda miss drama and CLDDS, I think I'll definitely have fun and exciting stuff to look forward to in the VJ Dance Ensemble(:
