Badminton Social #1

quite tired. my left leg is aching. shoulders are stressed from carrying laptop and bag up hills and escaping from athletics day..........but quite fun and eventful.
crazy(aggressive) little kid in the white and yellow shirt who "killed birds". Serious. The badminton court was littered with white feathers.

hello! Was going to blog about this yesterday but last night sort of ended in a family "feud".
Anyway my point is:
Thanks so much AUDREYYY<33 for being such a fabulous friend since way back p602 - sec1 - now!
and Thanks a million to NOON LING <33for being a wonderful, sweet but cool friend from sec1 days!
I was slacking around a couple of days ago and somehow ended up on friendster.. I hardly ever touched my account and i saw the only 2 comments lingering on the profile.
Here goes...

JESSICA!!!!!!!!!! we all miss ya loads y'know! when u comin back to visit us??
i can never forget.
those smiles
screams
days we laughed together.

i can never forget.
rushin' thru my mind
like water
in a clear brook.
those memories of days gone by.

i can never forget
your WEIRD laugh.
the one which almost caused me a
heart lapse.
u nazgul!

HAHAAHHAHAHAAHHAHAA. dun worry. was just joking..woot. but we miss you lots yea!

-audDIE. *drained].

gosh so cute yea? haha i didn't know/ can't rmbr you writing me a poem or poetry like thing ever hahahahaha. When i read both of those i was touched ;) like who else calls me dear lol. and hey!- i didn't know my laugh was that weird. I was probs laughing like a rooster and causing myself a heart attack. and i also rmbr the 'drained' band type we were going to form miraculously hahhahaaha. i sure fantasized quite a lot back then! some more the last time i read through my 2004-2005 posts they depicted me as a self-contented little brat and i immediately deleted all of them :O shameful!

Back to my first topic, our family "feud" was one of those tantrum unhappy types where my brother in his 13-14 year old state gets angry and chucks a fit. However unhappy it was it very clearly reminded me of my 13-14 year old days. I remember something like that happening to me, almost the same. Mum saying the same few words to reprimand...Dad vowing he'll never take me to school again but did the next day...*sigh* i guess everyone goes through that kind of stage in life. Im glad I already did, and am now on peaceful terms with my parents, its very unlikely that I'll have an argument with them nowadays. I don't even say things like idiot or stupid anymore...its quite passe already. It was those p6-sec1 short-lived rebellious days which taught me how to get on the right side of my family i guess. My brother excepted, he's a bit tough and difficult now, esp having a height advantage over me he thinks he has more authority. = = i want to grow taller. As tall as an upright burette on a table! hahahaha. jks.

My english this term isnt too bad. like 2% off an A7! omgness. that means must put in a little more effort before I can sufficiently capture that A7!! but im already there for maths! like scraped through by 1.7% according to connie who saw my mark. Only thing im worried is chem. Im scared I got a C5 this term. Hope not! Will be the only subject which deproved...how embarrassing. Have been neglecting it quite a lot. My prac reports for chem aren't good either - always silly mistakes plus aggravating ones. so Im going to put in my all (really) for the enzyme kinetics one which I got yesterday! (man...yet another assignment) But today's task is to rewrite my World Lit essay2's conclusion...put that off for so long.
I seem to have a lot to blog recently hahahahaha.

Thanks my darling friends! <3

To auds: don't believe your fat! my layer of fat is so disgusting..........:P you have the courage to go eat at Thailand Condom restaurant, means you have the courage to take a photo with the "sweet lab guy". then he'll probs even take you out! hahaha. you still go to NUS labs everyday now that school's started? Im sure your life will get better kaes! I have all this work to do everyday also sian...I want to watch dramas and go out and socialize etc :DD

haha...2 more days to a 2 week holiday! I hope the weather doesn't get colder! 10degs+ in the morning is cold enough! lol i dont know why i changed the titles at the RHS to random things :D

Life then, life nowadays

I forgot to say yesterday...
I changed my skin! rawr...Im very lousy at these things, so fortunately, it worked! hahaha. I also saw Mansfield peeps at State Library...Mareanie, Belinda and ... the Frenchies(I think), were studying for Biology. Connie and I wandered up to 3rd level to look for a meeting room but ended OUTSIDE their meeting room. huh. Greeted with usual hugs but it was kind of awkward. Firstly because when it was their turn to ask us what we were there for, answer was Theory of Knowledge presentation. That left them quite clueless but weirdly 1 of them immediately responded with "we'll just nod and don't ask questions". At that point I haven't said anything to suggest I was superior did I? lol. I don't know, maybe that's the reason why I haven't talked to Mansfield peeps for so long, since I transferred. I haven't gone back to visit my friends or had some kind of get together. I remember going back during holidays with my brother to sell his uniform prior to his school year at QA. I saw Annice and we briefly said hi. I saw Joanne but wasn't sure if she noticed me or not. Either way it's not their fault things are awkward. After all Im still a not totally sociable person haha.

Today;
I hate carrying my 'official' Targus school bag which cost $95 and can fit my tablet in super bulky case, my books, lunch everything. But thats why its so heavy and I practically can't stand straight with it most of the time. So since exam block its been smaller totes. Now, back to the normal school day schedule its totally killing my shoulder! Its all about protecting my tablet after all. Its not really mine, its rented from the school. If it crashes or is damaged, its my responsibility though. The screen's been flickering occasionally, and also quite frequently. Apparently random spasms of the screen means the harddrive/screen is going to crash and I could possibly lose all my stuff! = no computer to use = catastrophe!! Must be a result of throwing my school bag down on to the ground too many times, resulting in some form of 'shock' to the tablet, and also the fact that I use it 24/7, its life-span is considerably shortened:/ Ok tablet, i havent treated you too well but don't just die on me PLEASE!
I don't know what's wrong with my mobile number either, I always get random calls from people whom I don't have a clue. I don't usually answer calls which I don't recognize the numbers anyway. Can you believe it how many Sydney people call Queensland mobiles and get the phone number wrong? Seems like people here have these problems on almost any phone line possible. gosh.

Time to do as much UMAT drills as possible. gah. Im so determined to do dentistry I must not complain about UMAT and other academic stuff to sort out during my 2 week hols! Btw, holidays coming up next week for 2 weeks! Obviously cannot go back to Singapore though ): or anywhere else in fact --> holiday homework Mt. I.BEverest, CAS (signing for 4hrs coaching of badminton once per week for 3 weeks to deal with my CAS hours - almost once and for all), UMAT practice and helping out occasionally with the Kids Klub children's camp thing at church 2nd week. I actually don't think I'll mind the last, even though Im not particulary experienced. I think it'd be so much better/more fun then poking around a tablet just trying to eat up my homework. Well, my homework is more like whatever revision Ive piled up in a schedule for myself. Oh why am I killing myself. *personal dilemma* but the teachers don't care and it'll be my own fault for not doing anything in the end. and I say Im aiming for dentistry and an IB41+. ohmygosh *swoons*
omgomg I JUST TYPED SO MUCH?? SERIOUS! TIME TO UMAT. WAIT I SAID THAT A PARAGRAPH AGO.

oh oh. come home = slack. I practically worked 4 hours of Tok, hardly talking to my presentation partner at State Library. Well we did the discussion bit first then it was almost all research. Sitting on the ground/cushion was pretty gay. The library ground floor computer area layout is laid back but bad for people backs!
School tomorrow, another week till holidays.
I want to record/watch rolling love broadcast.
Finish Assignments first. Why is it so hard to re-organize my EE reference list and bibliography?
And re-conclude my WL2. And do UMAT Section 1. and at least score better in all Sections anyway >.<
On the other hand, Ive become quite antisocial..
Justin please practice your violin haha.
BYE now.
Quite happy now that Ive just finished drawing up a MindMap for my Tok presentation and everything seems to be sorted out! Im glad I realized what was on and off topic, therefore ditching the latter. :O for once I appear to be on top of TOK! (notice: use of "appear") haha. I shall be more optimistic.
I pray that everything can be completed tomorrow with Connie at State library, that 4hours will go to full use and our presentation can be completed, at least, satisfactorily.
I promise to finish my World Lit essay2 tomorrow. omg, so slack with that today.
Good luck to everyone too!

1 chem paper, all 3 bio papers and all 2 english papers down! 2 maths papers tomorrow and 2 mandarin + chem paper 2 next week! yay....however, i feel i didn't do so well for english. Theres the sense of self satisfaction but not necessarily scored well against criteria. i guess I'll find out soon anyway. haha...i feel like having fun already but theres still quite a few papers. This weekend will definitely be a lot more relaxed though..i don't mind doing assignments and other types of presentations and paperwork, really.
(:term 2 is coming to an end finally. what a long term! also must chiong during holidays. this time i promise. hahaha.
i pray for my brother + practising for violin exam on 16july because he has a lousy teacher at the moment. i hope that my pro accompaniment teacher can fix him up (: somehow.
i pray air tickets won't be so expensive.
thank God that Vanessa Ong aka Rong Xuan is getting better. Thank God all these nice people are taking care of her and visiting her everyday. Hope her family is lessed stressed (: I pray that the doctors+specialists are doing whatever they can to help her. Keep it up Vanessa!

First day of Exam Block Term2

Hmmm. biology was killer today..because I havent learnt everything properly and memorized my entire syllabus. Chem was passable i think :/ except i messed up the structures. Im bad at the organic side of things I guess.
Tomorrow's Biol paper 1 and english paper1..arhhhhh. Id hate to go into english and not know what to write for my unseen commentary. I hope the poem piece is at least understandable, I dont intend to do the prose.
but its time to Maths it out now!
and UMAT practice has been neglected for nearly 2 weeks now.
I hope my week is good enough.
and I hope we can get airtickets to Taiwan AND Singapore at the end of the year. pleasepleaseplease. Seems like travel costs are rising and rising uncontrollably :/
D: i want to go back and meet audrey, noonling, xinyun, xueting, jolene, gero etc. <3

Half of today was wednesday blues and the 2nd half was all right (: the new kinggeorge station route seems to be slowing buses down somehow? but my 2nd bus to school is always late. Being really tired this morning I was falling asleep standing while waiting for the bus to come. It did arrive half and hour after its scheduled time. Its tough luck when I have to wake up at 6.30, when I could have slept for 20 mins more rather than wait for the fated bus arrival. I miss efficient transport systems.
Tok was almost disaster. My presentation partner could not make up her mind for knowledge claims, resulting in my putting up with whining the entire 1.5hrs about what the definition of 'positive' is. When you are stuck with something, going to the toilet is the best solution. After that I immediately spewed out the definition of "positive influence" = =. I said "don't do this (Tok idea clot + whining) again or I'll kill you", out of pure frustration and anxiousness to my presentation partner, quite a few times. The teacher made some passing comment like he thought I was serious. Our topic is now refined, we have 2 knowledge claims and thats it. Nothing else. And the script and ppt stuff are due in a week after exam block. Even working in pairs can be so difficult. Looks like I have to act fast and make decisions or we'll get nowhere. Also considering the fact that its highly likely I failed my Tok essay which is worth 2/3 of my Tok grade, contributing to 1.5/45 out of my IB score. How fun. And the effort and brain juice invested in these activities too.

I don't know what to do with my piano Amus.A. I wish I never did the exam. It spoilt my entire motivation to practice 4 pieces over and over again for a year and nothing else. 4 pieces, only 2 which I liked, and only one of which I excelled in.
Cello won't be a problem though, I haven't reached that stage. That leaves me a goal to reach next year. At least now I know what is required of that pesky exam.
Going home after school gives me the best feeling. It just totally brightens my day. Dad's jokes and me making my brother laugh. Even grocery shopping can just put me back into my positive self.
Less than a week to exam blocks and its always at this time where hormones are overriding, pimples and ulcers and tiredness prevail. Now I must go battle my practice questions etc.
