The streets sparkle like silver
now that the rain has changed into snow
I could see a dazzling future the color of a dream
that Christmas Day
I looked at you and smiled
on that holy night,
yet your tears overflowed
"I'll love you forever..." So why?
Now the dancing snow is starting to disappear
I look up at the distant sky
Someone new is waiting for me,
but I still harbor those feelings that I can't shake
We used to laugh together back then;
we weren't afraid of anything
But I hurt your gentle spirit
that Christmas Day
Now I'm wandering aimlessly,
searching for those hopes and dreams
The sky I gaze up at
is too big for me to grasp
even if I were able to reach it So Why?
Now the dancing snow is starting to disappear
I'll take the unwavering feelings of that time
and go forth into a new tomorrow,
because we can't go back to that story
As I keep on walking, I can't help but wonder
as the snowflakes melt in my outstretched hand
if maybe someday we'll meet again
and finally be able to tell each other how we really feel
little miss.

Yes yes, ain't that exciting! Then we'll all wear the same shirt on the same day, and take a picture. :D
okay, so I'm not banned from the com yet. But I'm using it for a good reason! :D It's time to spread the joy!
Plus, I feel so proud of myself. I finally understood and know how to do that PoA question! Bring on the PoA paper yo! haha, kidding. ^^' Yes yes. I'm mugging mugging MUGGING! :) hmm, gotta wake up at 6am to catch up with my ss. D:
JIA YOU YALLLL!!! All the muggers~ Especially mugger pooh! :D Don't panic! :)
Oh, I almost forgot. I'm going to change my blogskin! So keep a lookout, okay? It won't be all pink. I PROMISE. :D
I'm not officially banned from the com, YET. Anyway,s if there's anyone who's going to ban me from the com, It would be myself, followed by my mom if I ever fail to do so. Hmm. Oh, I lost my thumbdrive a couple of days ago. At least I got a backup. Now I have a backup backup, thanks to Adrian.
Bah. I'm really not in the mood to blog now. D: I mean, I totally screwed up that music deco thing for Brother's night. It is the worst I've ever done. Other than that it was alright. I skipped my dinner while trying to do the music deco thing properly. Dang, I'm going to gain weight. D:
Anyhoo... HEY GIRLS! YALL DID AN AWESOME JOB! :D Really. Thank you for all the hard work put in. Special thanks to the committee, Bonnie, Suzanne Chiu, my mother and Jolene. :D And of course all the girls who helped out. Brother's Night was a success :D Now it's time for sister's night. I wonder what will they be doing???
Well, yeah. Heee. I was crying a lot yesterday. Not because of the EOY exams and stress, but beacuase I was watching some Korean show. XD It was really touching. The last episode is on this coming Monday, channel U, 10pm! Zhang Zhe Xiu and Zhao Anna. How sweet! :D
Hmm. Have been under lots of stress lately. Counting down seems to work as it motivates me to stuf. I've drawn up my study timetable and will follow it strictly. Will be doing SS from today to the 27th of August. I really got to buck up. I think I sort of burnt out a little.
Damn, looks like Charlottle will be getting first position again. NO NO NO. I WILL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN. IT'S JUST SO UNFAIR. Got to work hard. pfft. I'm dead tired for some reason. Must fly. Waking up 8am, leaving at 9 for church.
Blah, like whatever. Well, I'm just here to tell yall that I won't be able to blog for the next 40+ days as I will be preparing/doing my end of year exams!! *Le gasp* It STARTS on the 25th of September and ends on 10th of October, right before Suzanne's brithday! Remember to wish her a big Happy 15th Birthday okay?

[ 11:02 PM ]
I'm torn crushed shattered into pieces, so what? I'm a loner procrastinator unpopular, so what? I got stepped on shout at screamed at yell at slapped, so what? I can't let go of the past and the past can't let go of me, so what? I fall I cry I laugh I attempted suicide, but I can always count on all on yall. My wonderful angels. :D
loner. loner. loner. D: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ i sweared...fine i didn't swear, but i promised that i would never visit your blog again. happy in love. the two of you. bleah. jealousy reeks yo. my heart bleeds when i miss you. even if i don't love you, you were once a part of my life, a part of me. seeing you walking out of my life was heartbreaking, but seeing you this happy... i'm glad that you found happiness, but i'm unhappy because i still feel something. you left scars on my heart, and it will never heal, it can only be covered up.
OKAY OKAY. BEFORE I START THIS WHOLE NEW POST... Let me tell you something about myself. I can fake happiness. Here and to my friends. All just for one reason: I don't want yall to worry. SERIOUSLY. My mom worries enough about me and it's bad for her health. Ice-kun is over-protective in a nice way and gets real worried when something goes wrong. Adrian...well, lets just say that he will just go haha, look at what you've done. Then there's my dad, who worries because my mom worries about me. Then there's Kenna, who wenta re you alright? and even offered to come over to my house once, (how sweet of her!). OH! Not to forget Val. XD
HAHAH. Now that's over. XD My study date with Val didn't really go as well as I though it would be. I mean, It was fine for her. We mugged at Gloria Jeans which by the way have the best coffee ever! Though they kept playing songs, so it was rather annoying. I could even study. I only managed to memorise and understand this huge chunk of biology notes.
Carbohydrates
Monocharrides. They are reducing sugars, which mean if you were to test them with the Benedic's test(the one with the copper() sulphate, blu in colour), the result would be a positive one. Examples of monocharrides are glucose, fructose and galactose.
Dicharrides. They are non reducing sugars, which mean if you were to test them using Benedic's test, the result would be a negative ont. You would then have to add HCL and boil it to have a positove result as the HCL breaks down the Disacharrides into monocharrides. Examples of Dicharrides are Maltose(glucose+glucose), Lactose(glucose+galactose) and Sucrose(glucose +fructose).Polycharrides. Examples of polycharrides are starch and erm...glycogen(sp?).
Functions... 1) They provide energy 2) They make lubricants for example, mucus which are secreted by the mucus membrane 3) They form nucleic acids. For example, DNA( Deoxyribo nucleic Acid)
Proteins
There are 20 types of anmino acids. Amino acids join to form polypeptides and one or more polypeptides join to form a protein molecule.
Functions... 1) They provide energy 2) The repair and replace damaged and worned out cells 3) They make protoplasm for new cell growth 4) They protect our bodies by forming antibodies(there are more, but I forgot)
Fats They are made out of three molecules of fatty acids and one molecule of glycerol.
Functions... 1) They are a solvent for fat soluble hormones and vitamins 2) The provide (the most)energy 3) They prevent water loss 4) They provide insulation against heat loss 5) They form part of the cell surface membrane(I think there are more, but I forgot)
Mineral Salts
Examples of mineral salts are vitamin C and D.
Vitamin D: Helps in the absorbsion of Iron to form haemoglobin
Vitamin C: errrr.....
Functions...
Vitamin D: 1)Makes iron for haomoglobin?
errrr. lets just skip to water, alright? I'll just edit this next time. XD Water has no nutritional value!!!!
1) Helps to regulate body temperature via presperation 2) Lubricants in joints 3)Maintains the shape of the virtueous humoour and the aqueous humour and the foetus( in the snynovial cavity with the synotic fluid) 4)Used as solvents in reactions.
OH NOES! I NEED TO REREVISE BIOLOGY!!!
okay okay. I'm not as hyper as I was when I started typing this post. Church was alright today, though I was distracted. Kenna and all finally gave me the awesomeness keyboard pedal, and I eded up smiling like an idiot for sometime. XD
THANKS FOR ALL WHO CHIPPED IN! I think I said this more than 3 times yo... -LEONARD! -KENNA! -SUZANNE! -HUI QI! -LING HUI!( who knew? XD)
Yeah. Then disscussed some stuff for Brother's night. I shall not talk much about it, as I am sure that the guys will see this so yeah. XD Dangerous yo. ONE WORD: FUN
Hmm, then I went home and stoned in front of the stupid 40 something inch grey box, more commonly known as a television. Now I'm currently blogging and about to do some research on runes and summarise some stuff for Charlotte for Geography. I CAN BE MEAN AND NOT SUMMARISE IT FOR HER, BUT I'M NOT THAT MEAN. It's temping though. Her Geography grade for CA(0%) would be down the drain yo. XD
Hmm.
Better start work. Gosh I'm bored.Talk to me Adrian. I'm just plain bored. Oh and Jeffrey if you ever see this give me a call.
This is going to be a random post! So, excuse the randomness. LOL. I'm like getting high and all cause I'm just oh-so-hungry! I did my time of blog-surfing today yo! Finally updated Cleris's link and added Roshni's! Oh, guess what? People tend to pronounce or spell Roshni's name as 'Roshini' XD
Hee~ Still doing research for geog, Please people, please! MELINA THE PROCRASTINATOR is begging yall to not remind Ms Yip about the Geog Debate! Remember to do 7.2 okay? Or yall will die tomorrow!!!! XD
Bah, finally I found more info! Sheesh. what must one do to get her research done!?!? HUNGRYHUNGRYHUNGRYHUNGRYHUNGRYHUNGRY. Can't touch the bread, or there won;t be enough for tomorrow's breafast. Can't eat ice-cream cause it's way way WAY past eight which means it's like, fattening. Wait, ice-cream IS fattening by itself. D:
The atachi(100% wrong spelling. Lazy to check for the correct one. XD) tastes weird without the ice-cream though. D: I ate chocolate today, and it's not chocolate chocolate, it's KINDER BUENO chocolate. FAT, BUT NICE.
Mayo is just totally 99.9% fat. It's disgustingly disgusting. It's tastes awesome but it's super unheathly. D:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WHAT AM I DOING! NO NO NO! I must get back to the geog project! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Thursday, August 14, 2008
LOL.[ 11:16 PM ]
Wow, erm....where should I start? OH! heee~ I ran 6 six rounds with Tiffany today :D but I'm still feeling fat. Maybe because I am? LUNCH: -'Popcorn' Chicken -Vege -Egg -Rice -Two seaweed chicken( Dang, I wasted my money on that. )
I skipped my recess for Art. The last session for the sculpture making was today, and Val and I are not even done. Well, at least we're more or less half way done. She is going to score higher than me for Art, no doubt about it.I mean, her sculpture is really good, and it really does represent her and her 'fat' legs.
Super hungry during biology lesson. Apparently, Mrs Kong came late and was unable to write which lab we were suppose to go to, so we went back to class. We had to go back to the lab again cause Gwyneth saw Mrs Kong stepping out of the car.
The practical lesson was in a total mess. Couldn't focus at all.
Then there was this oh-so-horrible PoA 'test'. I seriously have no idea what is going on despite the 'remedial' both Val and I had with Mrs Tan. I mean, I do get it, though I need some practice. STM yo.
After school, Val and I stayed back to do our sculpture. We had lunch together! :D Hers collapsed somehow and she had to redo it. May God bless her sculpture. Bah, mine's totally crapped up. If I that it would turn out somthing like this, I would have done something similar to Val's.
Walked home, watched my fav chinese show, watched my other fav chinese show and showered after continuous nagging from my mother. Then I took off the plaster and put the small round one over this cut I got.
pfft. Oh, and the geography debate is tomorrow, and the English project is due on Tuesday. Bah. I need to Redraw, Ink and add the details for something regarding brother's night. Mugging with Val on sat(dress code: Black skinnies and shirt!), though I have Chemistry tuition before that. Before tuition, I have to attend a meeting regarding brother's night. Pfft. I don;t have enough sleep.
Oh! Before I forget, I met Na yesterday for tuition :D It was so fun~~ I was overly excited thatI sort of flooded Na's inbox with tuition related messages. For once, i couldn't wait for school to end.^^' Ming's reaction was like over the top. XD As usual. XDDD
......... Dang. I can't turn on the fan, cause it'll mess up my hair. D: Thankfully the red hairband of 'mine' is nearby. :D Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooling desu. :D
Depression It is a sign of zi-low. A sign that one is trapped in their own world of self-sympathy. It shows lack of control of one's emotions. It is not accepted in social circles. It is disruptive to one's studies/work. It is destructive to one's body and mind. It is an obstruction for teenagers' parents. It gives one the 'courage' to do crazy things that they never dared to do.
Conclusion, it is evil.
Somehow, this evil thing is in me.
So.. how do I get rid of it?
Feeling depressed is just an under-statement.
I got that from Na's blog. ^^' Well, all I can say is, WE ARE ALL HERE FOR YOU NA. Even I have this evil thing in me, HECK we all do.
My study date with Abby was successful! Just a few things to note when you're studying with a friend at a not so quiet, not so noisy place. (e.g. Macs, Changi Airport)
ONE! Remember to get there early! Get the best spot in the whole place as you're going to sit there for the whole day(or so). I suggest you go for the rectangular tables. They're easier to work with. If you're planning to study at Macs, Airport, it's best if you take the back tables.
TWO!! Do not bring subjects that needs a ton of memory work(e.g. Biology). Unless you can memorise in a place with that much noise, go ahead. Subjects like Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Social Studies(maybe) would be the best.
THREE!!! BRING YOUR CALCULATOR! No matter what subjects you plan on revising, just bring it. Yes, yes! Abby forgot to bring hers and we had to share. Plus, I was revising Trigo(TOA, CAH, SOH, Sine rule, Cosine Rule) and without a calculator, it can never be done.
FOUR!!!! When studying at a fastfood outlet, remember to order something healthy! Nothing with mayo in it, cause mayo is 99.9% fat(no matter how tasty it is, it's just oh-so-unhealthy). If you're getting a milo, get the HOT one and two packets of sugar. :D
FIVE!!!!! Bring a smaller pencil case! Mine was too big and it took up so much space in my bag. D: HEAVY HEAVY!
SIX!!!!!! Bring your notes! I tried studying for Biology, only to find that I left my Biology file with all my notes in it at home. D: As for Chemistry, always bring your periodic table. For Mathematics(NA, TT students who take express Mathethematics) bring the tys, or redo the worksheets that your teacher gave. We're not taught how to draw diagrams for trigo.
SEVEN!!!!!!! BRING YOUR JACKET! It's EXTREMELY COLD IN THE AIRPORT! :D
Hee~ ANYHOO. I had chem tuition in the morning, then I met with Abby for a quick lunch( I wasted so much rice. It looks like as if I was going on some carbo diet, which I'm not ) and rushed off to Changi Airport.
We decided to mug at Macs. Argh, those annoying round tables. We had to study on those until about 4 plus where some group of inconsiderate boys that were hogging the rectangular tables left. Abby and I immediately packed our books and moved! :D
I did math(trigo and quadratic equations), tried some Biology(chapter two) and did some Chemistry questions on Mole concept. We mugged for 4 hours. Abby had some bladder problem! XD She kept going to the toilet! ^^'
Then we left at 5.30 to explore this wonderful place known as Changi Airport! We took the sky train lfour times and we sat on the same seats four times. XD We took some spastic photos and all. AND WE WENT TO CANDY EMPIRE!!!! :D
Abby was practically stuffing me with chocolates~ D: I feel fat. We walked around more till 6.30 and search frantically for the train and busses. Abby was beig such a dear! She took the sky train back to T3 with me just to bring me to the train station and took the sky train back to T2 to search for her bus! :D
I stupidly missed the train. I had no idea that the train from both platforms goes back to tanah merah interchange. I was just staring at the board that showed the line, and after looking at it for the third time, I then noticed the words in bold that said, " TRAINS FROM BOTH PLATFORMS LEAD TO TANAH MERAH INTERCHANGE" or something like that.
I waited for another 3 mins and boraded the super crowded bus which got even more packed as ot reached the stations after that. there was this guy who kept 'pushing me, forcing me to move backwards. As if I wasn't there. I mean, hello? Inconsiderate much? You may be chatting with your girl/ friend but I'm still here. I take up space too you know. I was practically about to fall on this European guy if it wasn't for my awesome balancing skills.
Hmm. the thing that made me happy was that I was as tall as that idiotic guy. XD Then I switched at City Hall and got off at TP, where I took 139 home, and ate a really healthy dinner. :D
VAL WONG AND I ARE GOING TO ________ TO MUG THIS COMING SATURDAY!
OH OH! KENNA, JILL, ABBY AND I ARE GOING ROLLER BLADING DURING THE EOY HOLIDAYS! :D
SHANNEN, JILL, KENNA AND I ARE GOING ICE-SKATING DURING THE EOY HOLIDAYS! :D
BROTHER'S AND SISTER'S NIGHT IS COMING UP! 23RD AND 30TH AUG RESPECTIVELY. :D
And my sis just looked away. XD awesome-ness! Today was the day! Rang ai zou dong! :D We started off with warm ups, in which Gabriel(Tian Li) was trying translate it into chinese. *laughs* Some yellow guy trying to lead a bunch of yellow people. XD
We had to change into the rang ai zou dong shirt(yellow in colour). Which means, the sec three's plan for going red was a failure!! D: We wanted to wear the CAC CONNECT! camp shirt, and we did. But we had to change out of it. D:
I ran/jog/walk with Jill and Yun Ling. Bah, I feel so disappointed in myself. I can't even jog continously for 1.2km which is equivalent to six rounds on the school track. I need to get back to my morning runs and my daily sit ups/push ups/stretches or I'll feel fat. D:
After that, Jill and I went to one of the stone wall that was used to protect that particular headland from further erosion by wave refraction. :D It's not unsightly at all. It just looks random. Jill and I chatted and eat our lunch. Time does fly when you're having fun!
She taught me how to play cards, the basics and all. ^^' shhhhh! Xue Zhen had trouble finding us. i told her we were on the headlands, and she was like, what is a headland? She a pure Geog student yo! muahahaha~ We then realized that it was time to go home. The event ended at 1pm. The bus was fetching those who want to go back to tp back to tp. XD
heee~ Jill and I went roller blading instead! Well, she didn't, as she was teaching me. I just look like some idiot yo. Towering over her, losing my balance. ^^' Plus, I fell FIVE times. It hurts, but I just laughed it off. Its better to feel pain and laugh it off, than to have that neutral kind of expression and keep the pain inside or cry like some kid, complaining that it hurts.
After 3 hours or so, I managed to learn how to glide! Though I still need practice. >,< Things to note: -Keep your back straight at all times -Relax -Don't lean forward or backwards -Trust your teacher :D
The last fall was the most painful one as we had to rush back to the shop. Since I can't glide properly yet, Jill offered to push me. She pushed so fast that I lost my balance and fell on the road. I fell backwards and sort of slide on the ground. I got a bruise on my knee, and a few scratches here and there.
The roller blade that I was wearing was an old one. Not only that, the material sucks. My skin tore and I saw my flesh. D: MAJOR PAIN YO. It hurts when I touch it or when it gets wet. D:
pfft. now I can't even clench my right hand into a fist properly. Well, NO PAIN, NO GAIN. :D
Fwee~ THANK YOU LORD FOR A SUCH A WONDERFUL WEATHER! I GOT TANNED! uglae shirt tan again yo. D:
I REALLY LOVE BAND AND THE REASON FOR ME QUITTING BAND IS JUST OH-SO-PATHETIC.
I mean, I have the band blood in me. Both my siblings were from band. D: I was the the most enthusiastic one in my section, always bringing my intrument home after every practice no matter how heavy it was. :D I played it at home, I played it at church. So much that my muscles started to hurt.
I didn't mind it at first but it was getting worst. Every two weeks my muscle would ache and I can't do anything to it to ease the pain. I can only put that horrible counter pain and risk missing another band practice.
The essential elements book was all I had left, but I threw it away as it was no longer needed. Now I realized how important it was. It wasn't just a book filled with simple songs that I could play with out any difficulty, it was a piece of memory. One that I threw away.
My first and last concert. I still remembered it clearly. We arrived at CJC in our band uniform, and had our routine check on out attire and stockings , hair and all. I adjusted my blazer, so that I look alright, and not some weird rectangle thing. Once that was done, we moved our intruments up. We helped the percussions as they had quite a number of large heavy intruments. Soon, we were all standing back stage, walking around in our court shoes. Butterflies filled my stomach as I watched the other sections practicing their parts. My heart missed a beat as the MCs welcomed us on stage. We walked briskly towards our seat, trying to avoid the eyes of the audience and braced ourselves.
Mr Tan came in from stage left,(our right) and smile to the audience as he approached the podium. He lifted up his baton as a sign for us to raise our intruments, preparing for the song. And we were off. Melodious music filled the hall. the first song was Canto, and the heavy sounds of the trombones and the tuba gave the song much emotion. The second was my personal favourite, Der Vogelhandler(I forgot how to get the 'a' with the two dots on top of it).
Me being a junior, I was told to play the third trombone part, as it was the easiest. We focused our attention on the baton, waiting for the signal to start playing. With a swift flick, we started off, with brasses and their wonderful high pitched introduction that was too hard for us juniors to play. However, we did attempted to play it during the following band practices.
We had to look at both the scores and the conductor. Thankfully, if you have been in band long enough, you would have an in-built metronome. Still, we had to look at the conductor as our in-built metronome wasn't perfect. It would be, in time to come.
We counted and stared at our scores, praying that we wouldn't get lost. We were at the slow part, where only the seniors played. It was just so indescribable. We joined them later when the song started to build up. That was where I got lost. I had to act professionally. That was what the seniors said. I had to look as if I had some solo part to play, and not look like I'm actually lost. I broke in to cold sweat and started panicking. I tried desperately to find out where they were. I skimmed through the top half of the page and finally found a tune that I recognised.
What a relief! Then there was a crescendo which the seniors made sure we played it right during the the sectionals. The third act was right after the slow part, which starts at figure K. Soon, the percussions blew the whistle loud and clear, which never fails to suprise me. Although I had some difficulty trying to get the third at right during the sectionals, with much practice, I finally got it. I was filled with indescribable delight. We played our last note. With another swift flick of the baton, it was over. Breathless, but we had fun.
The hall was filled with a rousing applause, as we exited via stage right. We finally did it. Our first(and my last) concert was a success! We had a great dinner later, with the eclairs practically screaming, "eat us!". The court shoes were hurting our feet, so we decided to take them off. Then phyllis exclaimed, " Melina! You're bleeding!". I looked down and broke in to hysterical laughter.(Everyone was staring at me ^^'). my stockings had the company's info printed in red in which I had much difficulty trying to hide to. :D Our past seniors then saw us and congratulated us, giving each and everyone a rose to take home. How sweet of them!
*sighs* I'll never be able to get into band ever again. I hate myself for that. D: Yes, yes Shannen. You're absoloutely right. *sighs* How I wished you were just so wrong. I could still remember, that we played for another school event. The Big Fun In The Sun was one of the most enjoyable pieces I've ever played, next to Der Vogelhandler. The surfer thing was one of the hardest to play. Not only did I had difficulty side reading when I first got the scores( I bet that I wasn't the only one), the notes were rather alien to me. They were the really high notes, which were challenging but fun to play.
I was rather embarassed when I approached my buddy for help on identifying the notes. Finally, it was our big day. Not only did I screw that part up, the seniors were watching me play which added to the stress. Still, they were all smiles and even stayed back to hear us play during the sectionals.
*sighs* One of my ex-seniors even complimented me on what a good sound I had. Mr Tan(the conductor) even remembered my name. *sighs*
I got to stop living in the past. not only does it bring back both hurtful and happy memories, it's also not good for my emotional health.
oh damn it. This computer sucks out loud. I mean, I can't even embed a video properly here. I wanted to resize the Jaejoong video but I couldn't cause of this damn computer. D:
Anyhoo, TODAY'S ND CELEBRATION WAS AWESOME :D I came to school, with a sorta 'new' look. I let down my fringe and tied a low side pony tail, and most of my friends had to STOP AND STARE before they realized that it was actually me. I guess they were too used to looking at the toot-ish Melina, that they forgot that even I had my 'wild' side too :D
The attendance was around 16. 16 out of the 24 people came :D Yay for us yo. XD Wait, i just notice that 1/3 of the class poned school today. I know, I'm slow.
I felt super bimbo today yo. D: Shannen and I were talking about changing my blogskin last night. Me being easy influenced, I was a little bimbo-ish. I could not resist clicking at the nice thumbnails of the skin with the colour pink in it. XD
Then Shannen was like, "You are such a Bimbo."
Since Shannen was about to be blinded with an overdose of pink everytime she goes to my blog, I decided to change it. not only that, it was indeed a little too much pink in one whole page. Plus, the skin was getting a little too old anyway. I settled with with a skin that I saw the other time while blogskin hunting. XD The reason for not picking this skin the other time was because it had too much space at the sides. XD
So,THANK YOU SHANNEN. :D Happy now? XD Your big name is here on my oh-so-wonderful blog. :D
Okay okay, back to NDC(National Day celebration). I headed down to find Val but she was no where to be found. After waiting for like FIVE LONG MINUTES, she came strolling pver with Chelsea and Sujee and etc. XD She was like, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE LONG HAIR!" Yes I have long hair. I wanted you to help me french pleat it too, but I figured that I would stick to my low side pony tail :D
My bag was just so horrible looking. it was the nicest bag I could find. It needed to be able to fit my skinnies and red shirt in. :D Mass dance was AWESOME! Val being her bimbo self was like, "It's so hot!" and took her pinafore to cover up her legs. XD
We were all practically cooking in the HOT sun. The dances were fun to watch :D though Saji was being a little extra. LOL. She was standing rather close to the 'dancers', taking photos of them ^^'
It was finally our turn!!! Yeah baby, YEAH! XD We used our mouths to scream and shout more than we used our limbs to dance. Our mouths were open throughout the whole dance yo. Screaming like never before. XD It's fun!!! We were given this purple strip of cloth to tie around our foreheads. There was suppose to be face paint too, but I guess they just didn't bring it.XD Yes, I'm still wearing that purple strip of cloth, except its now a hair tie :D An adorable purple bow to match the adorable little me. LOL. XD
I screwed up part of it though, as I got mixed up or just a little slow. D: PLUS I WAS STANDING IN THE THIRD ROW FROM THE FRONT. D: Hmm, at least that was over. After doing our dance, we watched the sec ones with their oh-so-awesome dance moves yo. Su was so adorable :D SERIOUSLY XDDD theirs was like a a song used for some cheer competition. Seriously. they mixed and matched the songs! XD lucky for them. The sec threes only got one song to dance to, which I'm gonna put it up here for yall to listen :D
Changed into my skinnies and red shirt and ate recess with Sarah(kawaii imotou san) and Hilary. Then we headed up for the ND concert :D the gyn and dance girls were totally awesome. I had no clue that Sam Pang and Jia Hui could dance. Okay fine, I knew Jia Hui could, since I saw her doing some stuff with the other dance girls. XD
It was just so annoying that they didn't get into the top four. D: HOW COULD YOU GUYS NOT VOTE FOR THEM, THE KICK? THEIR DANCE WAS JUST AWESOME. ADMIT IT, IT WAS. :D
Then Mr Lim and Madam fatimah(sp?) Didi a duet of some sort, sinsing chan mali chan while Mr Lim played the guitar. XD we were like hoi-ing all the way. XD Three Five screamed/cheered the loudest after the whole duet thing as Mr Lim was our form teacher.
OH. I almost forgot. I wanted to update my blog yesterday but I was too depressed to do so. I had the other half of my Mathematics CA on congruency and similarity with and additional question on some finance thing. the last question was on the finance thing and it was eight arks. i think I lost most of the eight marks yo. I just found no reason to smile after the test. The whole paper was 22 marks. Which means, if eight marks were to be subtracted from it, I would only get a pathetic 14/22.
That paper just pulled my A1 grade to a B3 or B4 grade. D: Even topping Bio(which I did, but I made some careless mistakes) wasn't enough to make me smile.
Hmm, after the concert, I went down to the students lounge to prepare for the seniors farewell. Yes, I'm in the com, and I'm proud to be in it :D Its indeed and honour! :D everything started late as we had trouble gathering and marking attendance. I was incharge of looking after the food while Peishan led the other AA members to play two games :D
The pizza smelled heavenly. I was like hugging the six pizza boxes which were stacked up one after another. Holding it together was this pink raffia string, which I splitted the sides till it looks like part of a pom pom. XD
we ate, we had fun, and I was the photographer for the day! Everyone was like, stop taking photos! I really wonder how Saji/ Wenjin managed to take photos without us realizing it. I mean, the camera does take sometime to focus, and within that time the people should notice that there is someone attemping to take a photo of them secretly but failed. D:
I was in one of them yo. Retarded looking me. Well, at least I found another Jaejoong fan. IMELDA! or at least, that's how I spell her name XD She was like, "how did you learn to sing 'happy birthday' in korean?" Then I told her about the video with Jaejoong sining happy birthday XD We were jumping spstically on the spot like the fan girls we are. XD
Gave out the certs, roses and gifts, with me taking photos. Again. XD I only managed to take at least one nice photo of Jen. XD Sorrae, but unglam shots are funny to look at yo. I'll try my very best to take more pretty (and non-blurry) shots of your pretty self next time. During the camp. :D YES, WE ARE INVITING THEM BACK FOR THE CAMPS YO!
heee~
hmm. All CAs are over except Chem :D Yay, the most relaxing one of all. Happy me. XD Mugging with Abby at ____________. on Monday. I'l be using my sister's purple crumpler bag. :D Revising Bio and chem, with a tad bit of math. XD STUDY DATE YO! :D
OH CRAP, CHEM. I TOTALLY FORGOT TO ASK MRS CHOO FOR THE CHAPTERS THAT WILL BE TESTED FOR THE EOY EXAMS. BAAHH.
...okay. Then another study date with Val W. at ____________. XD I shall reveal to you the place when I'm done with the study date. XD Or else you guys will just ka jiao(sp) us when we're studying.
I'll be drawing up an EOY exams study timetable on the 15th of August, which mean I get to start on the 16th, giving me about 40+ days to prepare for end of years. :D Yay. :D Val is going to get a copy of my timetable so that she too can mug like me. XD
OH! Speaking of Val, does anyone know where to get a hoodie? A nice one. :D Both Val and I really WANT one yo, so please be a dear and keep a look out. Please and thank yous. :D
OH NOES! I TOTALLY FORGOT! I wanted to like, celebrate my blog's 100th post! I know that it sounds lame, but this IS my second blog. I stupidly think that I need to change a blog if I wanted a new layout + URL and all. The first one can be found at my links, under my door to oblivion.
The last post was done after my first mid-year paper, when I was under major stress. Excuse the emo-ness and all. ^^'
Today was just so ______. I seriously can't find a word to descirbe today, so it's just a blank right there. XD Well, I woke up at 3.30am, then at 4am, and another at 4.30 am, followed by the last alarm that finally woke me up at 4.35am. Would you just look at the number of alarms I have to set just to get me off the bed at such wee hours in the morning? It's just so sickening,
I took the SS test today, and all that i studies for was of no use at all. What I needed to answer the questions was smack right in the middle of the paper. All there. Let me put it into a simple equation for you. :D
ANSWER= PRAYER+ READ THE QUESTIONS+ USE MY BRAIN + SPCTP Yeap, that was all it took. :D
Chemistry was up next, with Mrs Choo going through the worksheet and all. I'm rather unsatisfied with the June Holiday homework that I handed up to her. It was not my best. I felt kind of pissed when I saw the others who scored higher than me.
Recess was as usual: Rice, egg, vege, meat.
I can't seem to remeber what happened after recess though, its all a blank. WAIT, it's coming back to me. Nothing interestiing happened for the rest of the day, other than that talk thing done by the sisters about them going to Myanmar. They actually witnessed cyclone Nargis, and even took a video of the surroundings when it happened.
2nd of May. *sigh*
OH! I almost forgot. JOEY found the piano scores to the song kiss shita mama, sayonara! I'll just search for it with the help of google. Oh, I also need to find Jaejoong's font and set it as my default font. XD I want to learn BOTH KOREAN AND JAPANESE. :D
after school I had to finish up my english assignment and put at at Ms Lim's pigeon hole. I discovered her pigeon hole yo! XD I left my compre there, and she couldn't find it. Reason being that she had no idea her pigeon hole even exists. XD
before I go, here are some stuff to take note of! I'm going to change my blogskin again! Like what Ming said, it's rather boring to see the same old skin. Plus, I think the pink is getting on to me. *shivers*
I have a Mathematics CA tomorrow! well, the other half of it I guess. Its on congruency and similarity with an additional question on some finacial thing. XD So, PRAY FOR ME :D It's highly appreciated. :DDDD
okay, since I'm in desperate need of time to revise for my SS CA tomorrow, I shall give a quick summary of my day :D
YEAH, SS CA TOMORROW. D: Well, to day I had a wonderful morning run, six rounds as usual. Stretched and headed up to class to take the books need for the whole day, made sure that my handphone is kept safely in the locker, away from the teachers who are trying to confiscate it. :D
Once again, I had to run down to the parade square, with Jeo Teo chasing us down again. ^^' Today's prayer was well said :D Next was Bio. I couldn't find my notes on transportation in plants, so I panicked. Guess what? Val kept it in her file by mistake. LOL. Then there was two periods of English lesson, followed by recess. I sneaked up to the classroom with a chawanmushi in hand. XD Haha, look what I'm risking for you Shannen, my almost perfect record. XD
POA was rather interestng today, though it was kind of fast. val kept saying that Mrs Tan was just too fast, and indeed she was. Cleris and I were like, lost. Mrs Tan saw our blank faces and finally slowed down. :D It was so warm. I seriously had trouble staying focused. I BLAME THE GENERATIONS BEFORE US. GLOBALWARMING.
Which reminds me of the Sec 3 camp cheer:
WAH! IT'S SO HOT IN HERE! Looks like there's some 3/5 in the atmosphere! I say, WAH! IT'S SO HOT IN HERE! Looks like there's some 3/5 in the atmosphere!
I say, OLI OLI OH! THREE FIVE! THREE FIVE! THREE FIVE! OLI OLI OH! THREE FIVE! THREE FIVE! THREE FIVE!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THREE FIVE! YEAH! :D
:D heeee~ Okay okay. Next was math. Mr Lim taught us a new chapter today! It was so easy that it was hard. LOL. Just kidding. It was so easy,though we had to try to remember how to use TOA CAH SOH. ^^'
The class was just in complete chaos(CHARLES!! XD)! Everyone was like, "MELINA!" here and "MELINA!" there... while Mr Lim just sat at the his table and shook his leg. D:
Next was that dreadful Chinese CA that I was talking about in one of my previous entries. OHYA! XD Remember that Humanities quiz that I mentioned? There wasn't any representative from my class cause we were simply too busy for such little things. Projects, projects and MORE projects. What do you expect from us sec threes?
Oh well, that paper was just horrible. I can bet you that I'll fail, or I might pass with a C6, or B4(as if). I was the last one to complete the paper. ^^'
That's it! Phew, a quick summary of my day :D Now all I need you guys to is to pray for me, as I'm really at a loss on what to study and how I should do so. IRA or Health Care?
She found a video of Jaejoong singing three versions of Happy Birthday~ R&B, Trot, and Rock! XD Heee~ Anyhoo, Yesh, he is H.O.T. :D
fweee~ Happy birthday to ME in Korean :D 생일 축하 합니다 생일 축하 합니다 사랑하는 Melina~ 생일 축하 합니다
윤재, a love that's forever. ♥ ------------------------------------------------CUT ALONG THE DOTTED LINE--------------------------------------------------------- Prayer requests: Please to pray from Adrian, as he has a splitting headache now. D: Pray that he will get a good rest, no matter how short it is. :D
May God bless you all~ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I shall stop now. I'm dead hungry but not tired. AT ALL. I'm not satisfied with what I managed to find for geog. It's like, pathetic. I can bet you that the others found much more. D: So little time, so much to do. HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
