BUSYBUSYBUSY.
the coming two weeks are gna be hell.
block tests on the FIRST week of term 2 is really not a very good idea. cos if they think that there is the march hols to study, then there's also CCA and holiday hw and projects. =( so it's IRRITATING and my hols are packed. to the brim. SIGH. they're out to break us.
OBS! omgomgomg. for someone who looks fit but is terribly NOT, OBS is scary. hehh. and i haven't bought all my stuff yet, and packed them. and i'm never in a good condition to go and die in pulau ubin. HOW? it's gna be rough and dirty and tiring. oh crap i almost don't want to go there. but i'm hoping that after two days of OBS i may start to like it. we'll see. hopefully there'll be some fats lost. HAHA.
i just hope i don't end up dying in the woods of pulau ubin.
i must jian chi and enjoy!!! and hopefully have a nice bonded watch. ok, although they're not my besties BUT haha, friends can be made anytime anywhere!
i'm scared and stressed now... currently more stressed cos i haven't packed anything and haven't bought anything!!! and there's a possibility that _________________ -.- HATE THAT!
anw, the OBS camp tee is so BAD. we look like football players. although i appreciate the fact its dry fit BUT the colour is really bad. oh mann, but ok its OBS no one will really care right.
but OBS aside, I GOT INTO JAP IMMERSION PROG!!!!!=)))) yeah! which is really good news, except that CAP has to be sacrificed. -.- oh well... anw it'll be fun! and i realised this year is going to be very very eventful.
i'm going to start OBS with a real kick. promise!~

shiyun does not look and feel shiyun anymore. well, except that i'm pretty sure she's still shiyun at heart! =)
council u! haha, today was hilarious. everyone started looking at each other and bursting out into laughter. but actually i think everyone looks about the same. there's no really big difference abt hongzi and council blouse. haha. rightt, wearing it now makes us even more outstanding. so with the added "pressure" we must strive even harder to work hard for council! =))
lessons were mainly... neutral. its not stressful but its not fun either. bah. that's school for you.
i don't usually harp on tuition but TLL today was on LIT and we did war poetry! it was nice and compelling. deciphering poetry is hard and makes you think alot but i tell you its totally worth the effort cos when you see the hidden meaning behind it, its like sudden realisation and admiration for whoever wrote that. simply beautiful. and one reason why i don't regret taking lit. it's a beautiful beautiful subj. it transcends all factual stuff we learn in school.
ok... school work's not an issue, SIAs are. PWs are IRRITATING!
oh goshhh bio proposal!!!
and math written task is blank.
i want SLEEP. time does not permit me to fall prey to my tempting bedsheets and be carried off to somewhere elsewhere.

this week has been hectic, as if last week was too slack and this week is like double the load. but it has been interesting! lots of events happening!
INVEST: congratulations council batchmates on getting installed! YEAH we did it! and after all that nervousness and rehearsals we did it! of course it's always hard sitting ever so poised on your seat for very very long but it was one memorable moment. wow. so for the rest of the council term, it's going to get exciting! until now i can't imagine myself in a council blouse. =0 guess i'll see it for myself tmr. and i want to see EVERYBODY in council u!!! HAHA.
after invest there was school tour, which went pretty well cos the two girls were really nice! =D and phototaking, which can't be too sane since its css! yup and then me and xy rushed all the way to moelc in our blazers. haha. interview was ok, since the questions they asked was almost the same as last year's. hope i do well!!! cos i have given up my DEAR UK literary trip for this!!!
THE ARENA: today went for the arena recording. NY against Fairfield Methodist! i realise recordings are really not what you think and expect. they keep cutting and re-doing stuff. so haha tv's all about editing and rehearsing. it doesn't go in one smooth flow. but oh well it was good experience! and watching debate is quite fun and nerve-wrecking! -results are kept confidential- haha! go see it for yourself.
bah i'm so lagging in my hw now cos i've been shoving it aside for quite some time now... so since it's after invest i better catch up. i'm gna fail my congruency/similarity quiz. =( like shapes and shiyun dun really link u know. and circle properties are a big chore!!! and bio, we're so slow we're being forced to do a ws that we know nothing about! which really explains why google is one of the most successful internet company huh. sigh.
ok i guess it's time to finish up my hw.-.-
council U! xx)

survived the worst day of the week! tuesdays... what a horrible day.
LA-speeches! i didn't present today, and i'm still waiting for ms birchwood's random picking. but cherie gave this really inspirational speech today and abt this guy with no arms and legs. and the video was playing in christ alone. got really inspired. and sad as well. i pei fu cherie for doing that. yayay it was gd.
Maths: as usual, i dun get circle properties! i stare at the question, think again, start to TRY to figure out the angles, and then see where i can apply the properties, and then POOF i get confused and try again. >.<
CL lecture: -.- quoting the tcher: "while the BSP ppl are having a WAR (learning abt the opium war), here you are learning about all the beautiful poems and stories." lol!
chem: quiz sucked. still have prac ws and ws 9 to do. howhowhow i think my chem is dying.
IH: somehow it's diff to concentrate in IH. CONCENTRATE!
CCA: usual stuff, i'm guilty for missing warm-up k, but someone said it was 3.30! but anw
I FOUND MY THEATRE JACKET!!! XD
so you see, it was ok due to my carelessness, but after so long trying to find it in the GO, SAC, it turned out that someone had been keeping it all along and NOT telling me!!! -.-
i think school's getting bad again. and my SIA! it's stale and not moving...
invest! must jiayou!
shiyun, pls at least go learn your stuff. esp chem and maths.
stop the videos nonsense.
it's all in a big mess now. and i'm trying to sort everything out. it's like you want a super clean life but stuff has to be there so that it makes up what your life is right?

saturday!
school ended early yesterday! and we only had maths and chinese. so it was so slack.
i dun get circle properties. -.- dun like geometry.
anw, yesterday we had club lunch at thai noodle house. i miss thai! it's been a long long time. nth much.
i love cj7! it was really nice. ok so i watched like 3 movies this year alr. and i think cj7's the best. firstly, cj7 is really really cute! it's like this dog-ish looking thing with really cute eyes. and the small boy is very funny. he has so apt expressions! yup and stephen chow's gd as well. overall plot was not bad and it was so funny in the beginning but really heartwarming at the end. it's the only movie out of the three that i teared. i didn't even cry for kung fu dunk k...
and actually, even though jay chou's the lead in kungfu dunk, he's not the hottest one out there. yeah so the movie was saved by gd looking chars, but not him though. the plot was pretty predictable, but there was still some funny scenes and heartwarming parts.
and i'm so sad for our local production. too much humour with no substance does not make up a good movie. but still, mark lee was hilarious. i think he stood out more than fann wong.
i want to watch l change the world! haha. matsuyama kenichi! even if i dun get the chance to watch it in cinema, i'm gna cr it or smth. and in the cinema there was this ad about dance of the dragons which sounded quite nice and interesting. and then on tv there's this movie called the leap years? i think i have too many movies i wanna watch. !!!
invest is next wk! and i haven't attended a single rehearsals. thanks to third lang and cca... sigh. hope i can get everything by next wk! must jiayou! whole school's watching. that's quite a scary thought.
and i just realised my jap interview is on invest day! which obviously i cannot go... so i'm trying to change the day! hope i can!!! sacrificing jap for invest is necessary but seriously heart-breaking!
ok. it's a pretty slack week. yay.

it's a day of love! and love was definitely felt early in the morning when presents and candies started to fill my desk! =) thankyou all who gave me stuff and everything! thankyou estee for the pink wand thingy which sent the whole class crazy about it. imagine the whole class walking to the library carrying this pink wand?! think we looked very retarded. and thankyou to sylvia my secret valentine for the lovely necklace! think this year, or maybe its just 312, valentine's day seems more significant! cos for the last two years, i dun think valentine's day has been a very prominent event. but anw yall are so nice! i kind of feel guilty. but nevermind. shiyun has bought her present for her secret valentine alr! ok... although its belated. but then its not about only the day itself right? anyday can be a day to share the love! . sounds corny. but its true!
school was spent listening in class, drawing, and trying to make space for my ws amidst the pile of presents. estee gave mrs ng the pink wand as well! lol! wonder what she'll do with it. x)
after school. plan to watch 27 dresses was through cos apparently it was not showing anymore-.- so me and amanda watched kung fu dunk. i mean after the crappy ah long show, i wanted to watch something more substantial. so ok, this was better. actually cj7 was supp to be better but i couldn't be bothered watching stuff about aliens. anw, while waiting for the movie, we shopped ard for my presents! and we went in artbox 4 times. and amanda was empathising with her dying rose... lol. and half the popcorn was gone before we even went in the cinema. but anw, thanks for spending my valentine with me! i really needed to go out.
ok so the journey back home wasn't the best thing. i got to the bus stop, looked at the directory thing, realised that there were more than 1 162 buses but they all reach my stop. so when this 162m bus came i just hopped on it, stupidly, not knowing that it was the long way!!! and so the bus went another way, and i got really worried. cos i couldn't make out the roads and all. and it was dark! but anw, i soon saw the familiar roads and realised i was on the right bus after all, just a longer one. ok, so i felt stupid. dun like taking the bus at night. it's depressing and easy to get lost.
takeaways for today:
1. valentine's day is more significant than i actually thought it was.
2. i should buy presents in advance! not like now, late and guilty. hehh.
3. i really have no direction sense. it's a long proven fact now.
ok. happy valentine's day everyone! i shall enjoy the last 50 mins of the day.

life starts all over again.
it's not a matter of stress now, it's a matter of monotony. and like what i've just learnt from TLL, we are all in this crazy rat race, competing, fighting for money and power. what for? to "stop and smell the roses", because you see them and you will admire them, it's a feeling that money can't buy.
i can't rmb all the competitions i've taken in these two years. too many. too complicated. they all sound the same. bad bad bad for portfolio next time. considering the fact that i haven't done any.
i am so deaddddd. i've been pigging. stupid cny goodies. why r u so tempting? they're everywhere in my kitchen!!!
need to exercise. think my tennis skills are really bad. after what, 2 years++? hah. laughing matter.
okay. my dad's gna leave town for one whole freaking month. to boston!!! no car. no chauffeur. and means that my mum has to give me pocket money from there.
twilight. should go read this book. i need to read. haven't touched a book since quite long alr. a-lit student, must read more. i'm pretty clueless abt quite alot of stuff.
i hope crunchyroll and veoh and youtube break down so that i won't be tempted to go there anymore. ok, thats mean, maybe for my computer only. =)
invest in 11 days. new uniform! =) or =(?

203rd post!!! =)) i miss 203. to bits.
cny eve: apparently, most of our class have gone to prepare for performance (cos we're more than 90% perf. arts!) so hui chun was quite pathetic. but we had quite a nice cozy place to write and my words came out better than last two years. and cleaner too. no stains! everyone wanted to do it anyhow. haha. jessica, jingzhi and estee came in cheongsams! and the bigger news of the day: mrs ng came in cheongsam too! super hilarious. and they got a photo taken by the av ppl with their chinese umbrellas and all. haha. we're like the only crazy class that wears cheongsams to school. ms chee wore a blazing red cheongsam too! anw, after hui chun, i went for a mini-walk with my best 203-ers. ok they came to find me. and yes, i gotta say that put me in high mode for a while. i misssss 203! it makes me high! so we were like walking and talking in the quadrangle and then zzc came and shoved this big pile of rubbish on me. then it was like "stare.. stare..." in this super weird way. so i gave in, took the rubbish. then liu lao shi saw and was like "come and help clear the rubbish!" in chinese. WAH i was so... speechless.
then went back to class, rushed out cards for mr zuffri and mr ng (av), the outside was quite nice but the inside looked quite cheap -.- sorry for that it was so last minute. and then went for performance. performance was normal but a bit lagging. wasn't that nice. and then chong min gave really ugly ugly oranges to mr sit! x) i was quite... amused. but anw i went to find mr zuffri and mr ng and gave them the cards.
biggest takeaway from that day: mr shone's son is sooooooooooooooooo cute! (squeals!)
ok then the routine ats visit. we had the highest number of ppl who came so far. i wanted to watch movie but somehow we ended up in tp. and we ended up eating in a foodcourt -.- but ok mdm ho gave us a nice treat to swensen's ice-cream! that was nice. and uh... nth much. went to lejing's house, watched abit of videos, then went back home.
i shan't talk about reunion dinner. after all, its the same every year. -.-
yup. visiting (only to two places) -.- eating and watching tv is a very very bad sign. this year everyone was late. and i never get alot of red packets cos we don't really have many ppl to visit. so... oh well i'll just be contented to like $100++ or so.
cny's over. its fast. in a flash. like it never happened.
so it's back to school. i predict march and april will be very very busy. =0 but i'm quite glad i got to catch up on sleep. =)
i'll start school on a good note! but it really depends how it's gna go later.
clarifications: shiyun has never really thought of being really successful in life. firstly, i'm still quite clueless about what i'm gna do. secondly, i think stuff like doctors and lawyers and business ppl make a very boring job. and, it's a very impt and, my life does not not not revolve around studying. stop thinking i'm some study freak who mugs and mugs and mugs like crazy. please.. i watched like 8h of videos yesterday. and i slack alot. i'm getting sick of general conclusions and stereotyping. -.- that's all.
ok. longpost. happy schooling to me.
let's just hope i don't get addicted to some shows again.

usher in the hols please!
i think this CNY is special not because its cny, but because we finally get to breathe after tedious weeks. so i must must must enjoy, relax and live it to the max.
of course, not like cny is really free, the school has perceived that this break is a somewhat long one and has believed that it is long enough to complete more hw.
i think i'm going to screw hui chun tmr as usual. no gd with the brush. and hopefully not get any more stains on my skirt.
ats tmr! yay!!! i'm looking forward to a nice get-together. dx gna relive the 6a memories again.
soon, there'll be a 203 one. i wish.
312 got 1st in hamper making and 2nd for cny decor! yeah! we absolutely rock. of course, quoting jessica, this is the only thing we can be gd at. we'll all die for csm or any other sporting stuff. haha. nvrtheless i'm still proud of the all-arty-farty 312! =)
all right. have a blessed cny!
let us all have a gd holiday.

school isn't fun. i've tried to like it, but it just disappoints me over and over again. BAH.
today. started off with chem. i dun get the sub shell things. and why there are 18 in the 3rd shell. and why electrons have to move in opp directions. more so, what do clothes and satellites have to do with atomic structure. whatever. maybe it was because chem was the first lesson in the morning. so my brains weren't pumped up yet.
then lit. we had a surprise assgn, UNFORTUNATELY. and there i was all ready to do abit of slacking and ms birchwood comes in and says we have an in class assgn. how very very nice. right after chem even. but anw it was ok, except that who would have gotten the Russian political thingy? like bathhouse... Russia?? wait, i didn't even know the author was Russian.
and then maths. usual. nth much to say. somehow i dun sleep in maths, cos it works yr brains. but ok, maths is like the same old stuff everyday.
wasted time during lunch...assembly...
third lang. normal. the guy tcher went up suddenly again to teach us. its weird... but nvm. i actually dun mind the occasional change. =)
after third lang. relived my craze for bio and ochee. hah. she's so funny! bio's all worthwhile now. so sad that there's NO bio these two days, and chem is on BOTH days. wth...
ok... i think i'm getting terribly unsatisfied with my life. it's boring. it's just so monotonous. hey, 203 wasn't like that...
i've gotten more emo again. =((
6A. catch a movie during CNY?

the 200th post for the 02/02/2008! so i shall specially make this post happy and light-hearted. no more complaining. cos i realised if i had to complain, i would be complaining almost everyday, in every post. OK... but basically today was a normal normal saturday. and i'm quiet satisfied cos i crazily rushed through my hw this morning. so i'm left with the speech, the non-compulsory chem ws and the big ifd proposal. ok. pianopianopiano. ohwell it's hard to believe i've finished grade 8 cos i absolutely think i'm not worthy of that grade 8 cert. or maybe its because i have no time to prac so my pieces always come out horribly. but i believe that i can play well if i actually put in the effort. it's just that theres no time to put in the effort. so, the nocturne and sonata i'm playing now are actually quite nice, which is gd. cos in previous years where i had to play pieces which i didn't like, i totally lost interest. so ok, a 20-page sonata is quite daunting but its quite nice to play.=) and the nocturne has nice parts. let's take piano nice and slow. cos i dun think i'll be doing it for real in the future. haha. that's me. jack of all trades but not a master of one. like piano and tennis and all my other subjects. i'm still trying to find one. jap has a potential though. =)yeah CNY approaches and the house is getting filled with food! CNY goodies are better than christmas ones i feel. i'm looking forward to the long hols. i think we all need a break. and its only, what, february?ok. here comes the season to get fat. shiyun.
