First week of school...mmmm...
We've changed places...I miss sitting beside Samantha. I'm not familiar with Nan not diagonally in front of me. I've entered a different world with the seats all changed..
The geography model-making project...whooo...another "math carn" alike nightmare to complete...what's it going to be next? A chinese project? uuurrrrgggghhhh....
Got into Introduction To Theatre for HiP! programme thing. In it with Wen Fei, Tricia, and a few others from SY. Not many of them I'm familiar with....just Wen Fei, I guess. Wonder what we're going to do during this course, it's taking our RAP period away, and that is unfair. But it's better than staying back and doing it after school.
Miss Dora Ong has resigned. Wonder why everyone hates her so much. She was quite nice. Don't think that those people ought to have criticised her that much...boo to all those who did.
We're having art now in place of home econs. So far, this first lesson, still quite okay, we just worked with dots and lines, and the art teacher is quite okay la.
Home econs test was...ar...atrocious. All MCQ questions. And most of them aren't in the textbook. And to think I busted so many of my poor brain cells trying to cram every nitty gritty bits of information into my brain. Most of it was common sense. But, fortunately, not all my efforts were wasted. A bit of the textbook stuffy came out.
Errr...not that much to say...tired le...anyways..I got back my Friday slot for British Council. At first, I thought that mum had only paid for half-a-year, so I got all panicky on Wednesday to check up with them whether they had anymore of the 7.30 slots, but they were full!! Walao, I could cry man! I wanted that slot so much! All my friends there...but luckily, I called again and asked them if my name was down for the 7.30 Friday class, and thank GOD, it was!! SO HAPPY!!! YAY! =D=D
So I'll be going for british council tonight..see you guys...

Doggies, and Ah Sin Ee's "party"
Went to cut my hair today...now it is only up to my shoulder. After cutting, went over to Ah Sin Ee's house to eat dinner. She was like having some kind of party, so almost everyone was there, except for Marcus and Christian's family. Talking about that...I haven't seen darling Christian for a long time!! Miss him so much..wonder how he's getting along...will I need to wait until Christmas to see him? haha..hope not..Anyway, when I went to Manda's house, she was sleeping, cos she had just came back from camp, so I went to find the boys, and I watched them playing their shooting computer game.Kor Kor Jon was playing spongebob square pants (!?) with Dylan, LOL...an 18 year-old playing that?! Muahaha...then don't know what Josh said about some dog, and then it hit me that they had finally done what they said they would do..they had indeed gotten a beagle called Patches. They were talking about getting one last year..so I went down to see the doggie...it was so DARN CUTE LA!! It's fur was so soft, and I just kept on stroking it and patting it. It's really cute, and it woke up the doggie love in me again...and from then on, I've been thinking of getting a dog too....hmmm...let's see...
PROS AND CONS OF GETTING A DOG...
[PROS]
- can keep me company when there is no one in the house
- can play with it when I am lonely
- can guard the house and chase away lame people
- can make me happy when I am sad
- can always go to it if I am depressed
- make me more responsible, as I will be in charge of cleaning it and all that..
- can get more exercise as the dog needs some walking
- mmmm...I can't think of anymore....when I think of some more, I will post them onto my blog..but basically...it makes you a happier person when you have a dog. And surveys show that, it makes a person healthier when they own a dog.
[CONS]
- Need quite a lot of money to take care of the dog
- takes up a lot of time, to train it, bathe it...etc
- can be noisy if it barks continuously
- can be stinky
- can make a mess in the house
- can damage the furniture in the house
PROS [8] CONS [6]
Right, so, there're more pros in my doggie list. MMMMM....still....I guess it's up to the parents, but I will be in charge if we do get a dog. Haha.
This is the kind of dog that I want to get...A MALTESE! SO DARN CUTE RIGHT? XD

MY ULTRA WONDERUL SIBU TRIP!
6-9 June >> MY LOVELY LOVELY SIBU TRIP!!
6 June..
It's setting off day to SIBU!! And what makes this trip ultra great is that I'm going with my cousins!! Em, Mel, Darren, Dylan and Marcus!! Whooopeee!! =) I haven't gone on a holiday with them for a really long time, so I'm really really looking forward to this one.
Woke up at 5.15 today. Had to be at Ah Mun Ee's house by 6.30, because we were taking a coach down to the jetty, where a ferry would take us to Sibu ISLAND. And as in island, it really was an island just by itself. No other great civilisation city near us, not at all, just other little islands here and there.The coach would be at Ah Mun Ee's house at 6.30, so we all had to go there early. Dad was fetching mum and I there, and knowing dad, we won't have a chance to be late when we go with him, so Aunty Kat was worried about us being late for nothing. =p Only Mum and I were going, cos Dad couldn't take leave, and Kor was going on a trip overseas with his school. Well, so we reached her house at 6.10!! (so early la!) we were the first ones there! Hahaha..Darren and Dylan were still getting ready, and my mum, wanting to help, went to toast Dylan's chicken pie for him. But she didn't know how to use their toaster, so the pie ended up getting burnt and BLACK. WAHAHA. so much for helping. =p. In the end, Dylan couldn't have his pie cos it was thoroughly burnt, and he was like , "Mum, where's my chicken pie?". LOL. He's only 6 anyway. Soon, everyone arrived, Ah Peng Ee being the last cos I think she was busy preparing all her food... ** =)
So we got onto the bus! After everyone came, and off we were!! Down to SIBU! I sat with Em on the coach. At first, all of us were quite excited and lively. Then slowly, we began to simmer down, and by the second hour, I fell asleep. Em too. Mel, for a while, and the boys were just glued to the gameboy. 3 hours later, we reached the jetty. THREE HOURS!!! I didn't go to the toilet for those three hours on the bus okay!! I never knew I was so strong.. haa. =D
About 12 something, the ferry arrived, and all of us had to wear life jackets on board it. We sat in the air-conditioned area for a while, then went up to the open area, where the strong wind blew in our faces. Really nice feeling. =) But after sitting there for quite some time, we had to go back down, because it was raining heavily up ahead, and water was pelting into our faces, and that wasn't very nice and comfortable, so we went back down.
About half-an-hour of the boat ride, we arrived at Sibu, and it was raining heavily. One look at Sibu....it's full of nature..trees everywhere...it's sort of like a resort feel. We had the people to come out and shelter us with umbrellas back to the lobby. The lobby is not air-conditioned. All the buildings are like made of wood? Not real wood la, but sort of like wood..resort-type. get what I mean? If you don't.. too bad..We soon got the keys to our rooms, each family one room, so four rooms in total. But it was raining, and this time, no people came to shelter us, so we had to run all the way back to our rooms. All of us ran, and reached mum and my room first, so we all chiong in, and escaped from the rain.
We ate our lunch there. The room is quite big, consists of 2 rooms, one living and one bedroom, and of course a toilet..we ate the food that Ah Peng Ee brought. Then, after lunch, we realized that there was a deer outside our room. All of us rushed down to see it. We approached it slowly, and tried to feed it bread. It did take our bread, and when you fed it off your hand, you could feel it's breath on your palm..whoo. We succeeded in feeding it quite a lot of bread, then it scampered of..don't know why..haha.
Later we went down to the beach, and the beach is like WOW. seriously WOW. The water is so so so super clear! You can see the bottom and even all the little fishes that are swimming in the water! Can you get this in Singapore? Obviously not right? The sea is littered with all kinds of rubbish, and the water is so murky..EEWW. This beach is just beautiful. Saw a lot of marine life, many kinds of fishes, corals, crabs, and even jellyfish! But they were all dead, all of them had washed up onto the shore..if we saw a live jellyfish, we'd probably run away..cos it's poisonous! But it's the first time I ever came so close to a jellyfish. It's so transparent, and Mel and I used a stick to poke one of them. It's hard. After a while at the beach, we went down to the swimming pool to swim. Had quite a fun time there.
We had to get up from the pool about 4 something, because we were going on a sunset cruise at 6. So we went up to shower.
About 6 something, we boarded the ferry and we went out into the open sea..the ship made one big round around Sibu, then it stopped halfway in the sea and let us enjoy the sunset. It was beautiful. How many times can you see a sunset right in front of you? We were able to watch the whole sunset, the sky slowly turning from blue to pale orange, then orange, then it finally became dark. Most of us sat there silently, just enjoying the gentle breeze and serenity of the place, and the gentle lapping of the waves, causing the ship to rock gently. It was total peace. I felt all my troubles going away. Seriously. It was a really nice feeling. =)
Once it was dark, we went back to Sibu, where we had the buffet dinner. There were 3 people who were singing for us in the restaurant. It was nice. We made friends with the 2 singers and the guitarist. They are really friendly people. After dinner, we all went back to our rooms. That night, Em and Mel slept with me in my room!! =)
7 June...
Woke up about 7 something today. Yeah, you all would say early, but got no choice..had to be at the breakfast area by 8 something. We were going snorkelling today!! YAY! First time I would be snorkelling. Had a great breakfast. Got some omelete, but the most exasperating thing was the flies that kept coming round to our food. It landed once on my precious omelete when I wasn't at the table and I was like so irritated that Marcus and Darren hadn't chased it away for me! Haha...
After breakfast, we boarded a jet-boat that brought us to yet another island. But this island didn't have any civilisation, WE were the civilisation that was going there. We had all our snorkelling gear with us. And so, once we were done applying all that sun-block, of we went! running down towards the open sea, shouting and splashing water. =) the sea here was really clear too! And you could really see all the small little fishes. When you hold some bread in your hand, and put your hand under into the water, all the small fishes will zoom to you, and start nibbling the bread from your hand. Really fascinating. But the one thing that was scary during our snorkelling was the jellyfish. We were told to scram once we saw a jellyfish. So, as we were having a good time snorkelling and looking at all the pretty fishes, we also had to look out for jellyfish. I felt really scared. But we still swam out to quite deep areas. After we were quite tired, we went onto the shore, and we covered Darren up in sand. When he broke free from the sand, his whole body was like full of sand. =p then it was our turn. Uncle Fabian, my mum and Darren covered Mel, Em and me with sand. We were fully covered with sand!! Hahaha...but down inside the sand, I was still playing with their fingers. Waha. Then, we, too broke out from the sand heap, and we, too, were like Darren. Our whole body was full of sand!! =P=P. Went to wash it off in the sea. Soon, about 12 something, we had to go back. I felt positively blacker after being in the sun. We had a long, good shower when we came back. Then we had lunch, and we planned what to do next.
AND YES! FINALLY AFTER A LONG LONG TIME, we decided to go and PLAY BILLIARDS!! Yeah man! I love that game! And I haven't played it for quite some time. We went to rent the sticks and balls, then we teamed up into groups to play. Melanie and Marcus were playing for their first time, and now, Marcus is hooked on to billiards too!! AHA! =) We played for an hour, and in that hour, we couldn't even finish one game! the balls just couldn't get into the hole. There was twice when I hit the white ball and it, in turn, hit the other ball, but that ball just stopped right in front of the whole! GOSH. It was so frustrating. The hour was soon up, and I felt myself yearning for more. But, we went back to the room, and played cards. (and many rounds of murderer and detective... =p) Then, we had a round of volleyball, but it wasn't like real volleyball where we hit the ball with our hands. We just played passing against the boys, and we lost to them. -.- Unfair.
We played til dinner time, then showered before we had dinner. Too bad we were late, the singers had already gone. We went back to the room after dinner, and talked until quite late, then went to sleep. The aunts were all playing mahjong in our room when we went to sleep. I'm really surprised at them. They really love to play mahjong. They even had a mini-mahjong set which they brought with them for this trip, and they were using this mini-set to play mahjong! woah! they really can play arhz...hahaha... =p
8 June...
OOOH, guess what? Today we will be going to a KELONG!! TO FISH!! =D =D FIRST time I will be fishing...don't know whether I'll be lucky and be able to catch any fish... muahaha..probably not..but must hope for the best right? So anyway, we went to have breakfast, and I had another omelette. =) same stuff again. And this time, I didn't just see the flies, I saw a rat too. YUP, A RAT!!! ULTIMATE YUCK AND ZILCH. >( It was really big lah...first time I ever saw such a big and ugly and disgusting and a total-ruin-my-appetite rat in my whole entire life. Everytime I see other rats, they're either dead or they're running in the dark, cannot see clearly. That rat sure sent goosebumps on me man!
After breakfast, sat on the speedboat to the kelong. This time, when we sat on the speedboat, there was a lot of water splashing into our faces. Quite uncomfortable. The journey was quite long, but when we reached the kelong, I was like kind of shocked. We were going to be just standing on wooden boards that were built above the sea. They were supported by wooden poles. Later somebody makes a hole in the wood, then they fall in....*shudder* don't know what will happen to them. But I don't think they will die, but it's going to be super uncomfortable to fall into the deep sea with all your normal day-clothes on. hahaz.
Once we reached the area, and settled down to where we were going to be fishing, all of us unreeled our fishing spools, hooked on the squid bait, and lowered the spool. First few times, the bait came out very easily. The fish just pulled at the bait, and poof! before you know it, all of it is gone and it's gotta be replenished. Aunty Kat caught the first fish. Cool huh? Never thought one of the aunties would catch one...heh. The fish was brown and white, kind of looked like a puffer fish, because the top of it was covered with some spiky brown stuff, but of course it wasn't a puffer fish. Then after she caught one, Emma and Darren caught one fish each too! WOAH! I was like so jealous...haha....almost one and a half hours had gone by, and I hadn't even scratched one fish! Darren had caught two...felt so depressed. Haha, but after much blood and sweat, (patience, sweat and much replinishing of squid, more like) I finally finally caught one fish that resembled aunty Kat's. Woah, at that point of time, I was happy like anything!! =D Then, after that, my lucked changed, and I caught about 5 fish before we went to have lunch. YAY! We had lunch at the kelong, it consisted of soup, vegetables, chicken meat, and of course, seafood was on the menu too. After lunch, I caught 2 more fish, bringing the list to 7 in total. =)=) really happy. One of the fish I caught was quite big, slightly bigger than my palm, I caught it in the stomach. Wonder how I did it. That fish was blue and silvery white in colour, very special. Each of us cousins all caught one of that kind of fish you know!! haha..cool right? Before we left the kelong to go back to Sibu, we threw all the fish back into the sea, all of them were dead anyway. Haiz. Before we made our way back down them ladder and into the boat, I saw a real puffer fish! Some man was holding on to the tail of the fish, and what's more, the fish's cheeks and body were bloated, and round!! It had puffed up! =p was really cool. When the man dropped it back into the sea, it hit the sea with a loud PLONK, cos it was round and fat anyway.
We went to play billiards again when we went back, and also swam around in the shallow waters in the sea. Saw lotsa those small fishes again. And I saw quite a number of tiger fishes too!!!! =) And, as we all found out, if you hold the bread in your hand, and just sit in the water, the bread submerged underwater, and you slowly rub the crumbs out into the sea, all the small fish will come to you, and they jsut swim through your arms and legs and everywhere, really ticklish but comfortable. But they come for the bread, of course.. LOL. We got up after almost 2 hours of swimming, and went to have a good shower. We also went to feed the deer. It can get quite intimidating when 3 or 4 of them surround you at once for food, their warm breath blowing onto your face...so I got a bit scared...Then we had our dinner, and went off to bed soon after.
9 June...
Going home already! HAIZ. I was so immensely sad when this day came. This horrible day. It forces me to leave behind the wonderful memories of Sibu. But anyway, protest as we might, we just have to go home...so..sadly, all of us packed up, and prepared to board the dferry back and bus back....ooh... SOB SOB SOB...bye bye to Sibu!! We'll always remember and love you!! haha...we had a seriously lovely time there...so anyone who wants to go on holiday, do try going to Sibu, it's like the ultimate paradise. Beaches, scenery, fish, everything that everyone has dreamed about in paradise. =)...so...do go there!! and what a wonderful holiday this has been.
6 June..
It's setting off day to SIBU!! And what makes this trip ultra great is that I'm going with my cousins!! Em, Mel, Darren, Dylan and Marcus!! Whooopeee!! =) I haven't gone on a holiday with them for a really long time, so I'm really really looking forward to this one.

Then after she caught one, Emma and Darren caught one fish each too! WOAH! I was like so jealous...haha....almost one and a half hours had gone by, and I hadn't even scratched one fish! Darren had caught two...felt so depressed. Haha, but after much blood and sweat, (patience, sweat and much replinishing of squid, more like) I finally finally caught one fish that resembled aunty Kat's. Woah, at that point of time, I was happy like anything!! =D Then, after that, my lucked changed, and I caught about 5 fish before we went to have lunch. YAY! We had lunch at the kelong, it consisted of soup, vegetables, chicken meat, and of course, seafood was on the menu too. After lunch, I caught 2 more fish, bringing the list to 7 in total. =)=) really happy. One of the fish I caught was quite big, slightly bigger than my palm, I caught it in the stomach. Wonder how I did it. That fish was blue and silvery white in colour, very special. Each of us cousins all caught one of that kind of fish you know!! haha..cool right? Before we left the kelong to go back to Sibu, we threw all the fish back into the sea, all of them were dead anyway. Haiz. Before we made our way back down them ladder and into the boat, I saw a real puffer fish! Some man was holding on to the tail of the fish, and what's more, the fish's cheeks and body were bloated, and round!! It had puffed up! =p was really cool. When the man dropped it back into the sea, it hit the sea with a loud PLONK, cos it was round and fat anyway.
We went to play billiards again when we went back, and also swam around in the shallow waters in the sea. Saw lotsa those small fishes again. And I saw quite a number of tiger fishes too!!!! =) And, as we all found out, if you hold the bread in your hand, and just sit in the water, the bread submerged underwater, and you slowly rub the crumbs out into the sea, all the small fish will come to you, and they jsut swim through your arms and legs and everywhere, really ticklish but comfortable. But they come for the bread, of course.. LOL. We got up after almost 2 hours of swimming, and went to have a good shower. We also went to feed the deer. It can get quite intimidating when 3 or 4 of them surround you at once for food, their warm breath blowing onto your face...so I got a bit scared...Then we had our dinner, and went off to bed soon after.
9 June...
Going home already! HAIZ. I was so immensely sad when this day came. This horrible day. It forces me to leave behind the wonderful memories of Sibu. But anyway, protest as we might, we just have to go home...so..sadly, all of us packed up, and prepared to board the dferry back and bus back....ooh... SOB SOB SOB...bye bye to Sibu!! We'll always remember and love you!! haha...we had a seriously lovely time there...so anyone who wants to go on holiday, do try going to Sibu, it's like the ultimate paradise. Beaches, scenery, fish, everything that everyone has dreamed about in paradise. =)...so...do go there!! and what a wonderful holiday this has been.

AN UPDATE!
WHOO-HOO!Finally had the time to update my darling blog, and to answer to Joyann's cute prayer. =) Whoa, seriously don't know where to start ehs...got SO MANY things to say!!! I thought of compressing all my June holidays events into one long long post, but decided that would be like crazy and stupid, so I'm breaking it down to the actual day and posting on the actual day, when actually I'm posting everything on the 23 of June. WAHAHA.
2 June-
Hehhehheh!! I turn 13 this year! A teenager! Whoots! =)=) As no one was gonna be at home today, I decided to go out with my darling best friends, my true friends whom I miss so much!! So, we fixed everything up, and decided to go to Tampines Mall and watch a movie then have lunch. Met Meiying, Yi Chian, Amanda and Lee Jiahui there, and we went to watch Over The Hedge, the cute cartoon flick. It wasn't very long, I think only about 1 hour 20 minutes like that. We bought snacks before the show started. I bought Gate Crashers!! YEAH! the sour gummies from The Natural Confectionary. I love them so much! (I've started to like those gummies!! *hint*). So anyway, after we bought everything and smuggled the food in to the cineplex..heh..we sat down and watched the movie! (duh). It was a very very funny and cute flick, and also quite emotional... =) but on the whole, a nice show with lotsa meaning! After the movie, we weren't so hungry yet, so we went to take neoprints ( =D ) first. We took some really nice neoprints!! (thanks to those wonderful creative decorations from ah-ma and Lee Jiahui.. =)) LOL, then we went to have lunch at the food court. After having our lunch, Yi Chian and Lee Jiahui decided to go walking round the mall, because we thought it was too late to go to Pasir Ris park. So that left Amanda, Meiying and I. We went up to the neoprint centre again, then Jieying came rushing here, so we thought, us being so nice and all, we decided to take neos with Jieying. HAHA. The neos turned out really great too.. =) Then the trio decided to go cycling, but I had to go home, cos mum was taking me out to dinner, so I went home...
For dinner, mum had invited Mel, Amanda (lee) and Emma, and we went to a seafood place in East Coast Park, since I love crab so much..hehehe. We had an awfully nice dinner, then we walked round the Park for a while, looking out at the sea...so nice...at first Mel thought the artificial pool was the sea..and Em and I kept laughing.. =) We pretended to be drunk too..and Mel kept on stepping on my feet in her big chunky shoes... -.-
All in all, quite a good birthday I guess...thanks to all the wonderful people who spent it with me!! love you guys!! (by the way, ah-ma, where's my hong-bao?? =p)

The days...
Hello!! =) Again, I come back to blog only almost after a week. Haha. I have terrible blog mood swings. One moment I feel like blogging, and the next I just feel like washing my blog off down the drain. =p It's the school holidays now!! YIPPEE!! though I can't understand why we call it holidays when the teachers give us so much more homework than usual. They like to seize the oppoutunities, but it's so unfair, cos we always need to do the homework during the authorized holidays, while they only get to mark it AFTER the holidays. =( But what to do? It's always like that, and it will always continue to be like that. But anyway, I just can't believe that it's the holidays again. It just seemed like yesterday when term 1 was over. The last day of school was quite the same as last time, a lot of rushing and huffing around, especially after the last bell rang. FREEDOM!! haha. We had pizza party. =)=) I think Mrs Chia and Miss Soh really spoil us a lot.
Went to watch Grease on Sunday. It was just fab!! =) I still prefer Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta though, but I enjoyed this one all the same. The songs were still as lovely and all. This one was shorter, of course, and I saw Gurmit Singh and Adrian Pang there at the stadium too. LOL.
I have nothing more to blog about, I guess, been stuck at home the whole time, trying to finish up all the homework and I've only been out when I need to go for ballet. Ballet's wearing me out. =( So tiring, and I always ache like mad after class...poot. Class is so stressful!!! Anyway, will come back to blog when new things have happened...lol..see you guys!! =D (happy birthday to me >>in advance..)
