CSM today! this year we changed positions. but on the whole it was not bad! haha. i shall cut long story short. in short, we did quite well. and we went HIGH at the end part. i mean the BEST part of the whole csm is the staff relay race! the whole school went bonkers! yup cos we had secret weapon: 100 sprint record holder. i mean that already seals our fate right. haha. its an eye opener seeing the fastest sprinter RUN. and u get to see which tcher can actually RUN. hah. so we won like 1st and 2nd. that was so HIGH. the highest point of the whole thing. later we managed to squeeze ourselves into kap to eat and of cos, crap. hah. seems to be the tradition after some big scale event. like camp. and then slacking ard and of cos, the ever-faithful 3rd LANG. how nice to go for 3rd lang on a slack day. but yup i went cos apparently weds is CA3! was like sleeping in the cold and empty 156. u noe wad? i realised i ALWAYS sleep in 156. well anw i made a big discovery today. kanasai in jap is used as a polite form of what happened? and yes it just happened to mean "**" some bad word in hokkien so our whole class was cracking up with our dear clueless jap tcher who doesn't understand what we were laughing about. hah. it was so funny lah. ok argh i'm so sian. tmr need to meet at lh hse for sci SIA. which takes up the whole afternoon and then having lunch with foster sis. means half the day GONE! need to study JAP and erm finalise my ode and do BSF! gosh i'm rushing everything. =.= but today was so slack. haha. i will miss today! today tuition we were like asked to write a story revolving around a person, a place and an item. and then the whole class was like murder and mystery and crime. and sci-fi. haha. hmm... dun think i rehli fit to write this kind of story... but then mine is smth like this girl who faces a troubled life and so she always runs to the abandoned theatre beside her house and she finds a mask staring at her. that mask possess the powers to rid of all her emotions and pain and she soon found herself being possessed by that mask. it happened that this mask belonged to some dead actor who was VERY depressed and died a death of no feelings. so when the girl took that mask she had seven days to return it to its original position. but cos she was so possessed and she yearned so much to have no emotions so that she could escape her misery it was hard for her to leave the mask. so its like kinda of struggle between reality and another like dimension. long summary and i'm not sure how to really make it into a story. it's still abit vague for me. oh well... but its quite DRAMA. hah. typical.OK. i will miss csm. haha. but at least got to see mr shyam run and many many ex seniors!!!

THANK GOODNESS i'm done with that stupid SIA report. urgh that took me (us) weeks! and i seriously hope we dun get thrown back again. i'm NOT TOUCHING IT AGAIN. this stupid essay caused me to miss dessert!!! it's my dad's b'day and my family went out to eat DURIAN! some dessert thing which i'm not rehli sure. but still its so pissing ok. urgh. this will be the last time... so now i'm still faced with lots of hw. LA poetry thing, maths written assgn and SIA problem1, bao zhang bao dao (which i dun intend to do)... HAIZ. luckily i managed to finish my chi SIA today. which was quite fast. i still got tmr and a bit of mon and the whole of tues. ok i think can lah... its late now i just wanna blog cos its BORING. and i'm supp to sleep which i will be going to. nth much to say... just hw. oh mon is CSM! i can't wait! but they have no milo truck! too bad for us. and then all the UG ppl have duty... aiyo. but i'm still gna make the best of it. haha. i got my maths back. ok. erm its average... boo all my results are average now. as in maths on the whole everybody kinda flunked. except those exceptionally pro ones. i'm considered ok lah but then its still quite bad. ok look if you're saying that i did well and stop complaining, this is what i have to say. ppl have diff standards and expectations of themselves. dun say i have too high expectations cos i know i can do better in maths and any other subj. so i feel that this result is not my best and is not rehli gd so i'm quite disappointed. its not rehli about how the ppl fare and everything u know. and i think its ok to fail. once in a while. no failure just leaves u too high up. but hey i didn't fail. =) so yah ok that was one big chunk of crap i wanted to clarify. cos ppl have been saying that for so many times. it is good to guage one's standard and then set expectations accordingly. ok i think i'm so homework-fied now... =.=oh n i wanna say sorry to my mortal cos i haven't been replying her letters consistently. SORRY! no time nowadays. i'll definitely reply after the long wkend. sorry... aiyo i feel so bad. ok. urgh i need to sleep. i watched shen diao xia lu today! haha. u know since i dun rehli READ chi books its gd to watch some erm shows. i mean shows with meaning and not those taiwan shows. hah. oknagging starts. have to SLEEP.

i suddenly had this huge surge of inspiration. hah. its about a story of a girl that talks about how one grows over time and loses her innocence along the way. i dunno... comments? aiya this is just random work cos i just felt like it. i love essays like that! HAHA.The Garden
Seven.
The girl raced into the garden, hand in hand with her mother, her light footsteps pattering on the lush green grass. The edges of her floral dress bobbed in the breeze. Wide-eyed and innocent, she picked up a white rose and turned to her mother, "Look, mummy. It's so pretty!" The girl smelt the fragrance of the flower and threw herself to the soft carpet of grass, tilting her head up to the sky. Spring had come and the sky was fair and clear. The girl spotted clouds in the distance. Thick like cotton candy, the clouds had blossomed into a spectacular scene of flowers and butterflies, like a magical garden in the sky. The girl marvelled at it for a long time and she wished that someday she might be able to enter that paradise. She believed in the clouds, that one day they might take her to a place where there was fun, laughter and joy. A drop of rain landed on her finger. Rain, for the flowers, she grinned. The flowers would be happy and she would be too. She felt her mother pull her by the arm. It was time to go. She bade farewell to the flowers as she skipped her way home. The garden was her playground; the garden was her world. It was of utmost importance.
Fifteen.
The girl returned to the garden once more, hoping to relish what was once her perfect world, her perfect childhood memory. The garden still looked the same as before, still that scent of fragrance and the rejuvenating breath of fresh air. The flowers still looked appealing to her, as though their colours had never faded for the past eight years. Spring was like the breath of life, breathing air and vibrancy into the flora. She broke free from her mother’s hand, and raced to the rose bush, which she had loved as a child. Eagerly, she picked up the white rose, wanting to be amazed by its beauty, wanting to be fascinated by its pure petals. Yet, crimson red soon oozed out of her delicate fingers and the girl cried out in pain. It was not pain that made her cry out, yet, the girl was shocked, for she had never experienced a prick near the bush. She looked at the rose she picked, the same rose from the same rose bush eight years ago. She spotted thorns. That is weird, she thought. She had never realised that the rose she loved so much and believed in had thorns. Thorns that prick. All along in her life she had valued that rose as a symbol of perfection, beauty and grace. She knew she was wrong. What was a figment of her childhood imagination had turned to reality, indeed. Roses are not perfect.
The girl felt cheated, deceived by the rose’s beauty that within it lay a thorn so treacherous. She flung it to the floor hastily. She then remembered how she used to lie on the bed of grass and watch the clouds. But the girl, immaculately dressed was apprehensive about getting her Levi’s soaked in soil and her locks in a mess. They were her most important assets. Twirling her locks around her freshly painted nails, she glanced at the clouds high above. Thick clouds meant imminent rain, she thought. She decided to run for cover. The dark clouds had started to loom ominously and raced towards her. The girl ran for her life, sprinting across the muddy land. How she hated this garden, the rose with thorns, the clouds that brought such terrible weather. To think that all these were hidden amidst the beauty and elegance of the garden. She was wrong, very wrong. She needed to run out of that place. Her world was upside down and she realised the deceptive layers of the garden. That stupid garden, she muttered as she took refuge in a nearby Internet café. Everything is fine now; she heaved a sigh of relief. She was finally back to reality. I need a change of clothes, she thought to herself as she turned her back to the rain and hurried to the counter.
Amidst the clattering of feet and the heavy beats of raindrops, there lay a stalk of white rose, so pure, so elegant among the lush green grass. So perfect, until it felt a footstep sending it away from the garden, a garden so perfect.
i feel quite proud of myself. but i guess i'm off to do better stuff. stuff i SHOULD do.

THEN prepare to die. but i shall not crap about tests cos i mean the weeks almost over. today was quite slack haha. after slacking at the SAC(we wanted to do LA+ CH SIA but then haha got tempted by the tv), we went over to hci to watch the heats! today was 4x100m relay and our class won 2nd and overall 3rd! hahas. me and lingo were betting on which lane would win. and i realised i have quite a good intuition!!! all the lanes i chose were in top3! haha. always knew i had a good gut feeling. i'm looking forward to CSM! time to slack, cheer, get high and milofied! ok we're pretty crazy over the free milo van duing CSM last year so this year we aim to take full advantage of it. after all its free right. tmr is the day to choose sabbats and i can't choose cos i'm down for leadership. how sad cos they had mtv and film analysis which i figured would be quite interesting! and also this CSI stuff. i'm MISSING out on all these!!! sigh. but oh well i'm so going for term 3's sabbats cos there's song composition and cartoon art and dance! hahas. but i wonder how come this year there are no sports sabbats! last year floorball was so fun lor... ok... i'm boredd. i rate myself as a total slacker today. actually for most of the days. i'm not rehli studying u know. sigh. school's getting routine... and the virus is here. i mean in class. everyone's spreading to everyone. hah. CCA tmr. aiyo 2 more weeks before we can get our SYF results??! can't wait! and i'm rehli getting sick of chilli crab i mean the play and won't it just DIE? or get eaten or smth. i want to move on to do another thing. but now CCA is like slack cos syf's over and we are like after syf but before production time. so its slack, doing improv and stuff like that. but frankly i would prefer the times before big productions. with all the rehearsals and stuff like that. i mean at least we're doing something. now is like still new to the piece, everything not planned yet. so yup i prefer times during full rehearsals. but there will always be times like that. OK i dun wish to crap any more. maths tmr. sigh. and oh our OM prop judging was like bad cos our props are abit lacking. but who cares... i feel i need the tv. NOW.
