So I was at Toa Payoh with Eleanor, Jeanette and Jolyn, running 4x400m for the class. Thank you people for giving us this "chance" to exercise. I'm sorry for the sarcasm but I can't help it. Anyway no deliberate or personal attacks intended. haha I felt so pathetic because I could run 400m easily in Primary 4! ): Not now. So loser right. hahaha well, at least I feel much better because it's all over. We won't get like booked or smth. But we got FIRST from the back. (x

Then we had a little Macs before train-ing back home. Elea thinks I talk cock all the time. Ahh whatever man! hahaha! Bet she thinks I'm cool though((: aha. Cos everyone moves away when I sit. We went into some freako laughing fit in the train while standing, and Elea's bag looked like a boulder.

Somewhere downstairs as I was making my way up, some grey filthy evil cat appeared (like suddenly?!) and I got a shockkk of my life luh. eewl. It was staring at me with yellow eyes. Such a meanie cat. >:(

Okay nothing much, I need to get started on my quizzes before they get due and I get zero. Physics test next Monday. Shit my textbook is left rotting below my table! ):

SICK! Many many people are getting sick, which includes me. I'm not sure what sickness I got except for a blocked nose(and my voice sounds wrong! haha) Plus I was feeling all hot & cold & everything in school today. Maybe it's a slight fever, or "internal" fever as my mum calls it. Weird huh, can't explain either! Argh I should not even have gone to school, I felt so weary so I kept drinking water(:

But after recess I was better, I started crapping a lot during SS because Ms Kavita was so nice to check our files the WHOLE LESSON. So we talked & talked & talked. And then, English was meant for a letter to ST editor but all of us preferred to do it at home. So we continued talking.

Aye I can't taste anything in my mouth now!! Stupid silly blocked nose! It's so annoying.

My current obsession: Post-its♡ Oh the whole class most of the people in class some of the people in class is going wheehighMAD about post-its. I think they're cool, esp the shaped ones & those with bright colours and lines. (: I just stocked up (with Gemma) yesterday. We were so happy with colourful sticky paper in our hands:DD They're the love.



Omg dilemma again. HELPPP.

I have been really tired these few days. And graphs are seriously haunting me): I need a good night's sleep, but I end up sleeping reallllyyy late every night.

I feel sooo accomplished that I finished 3 essays on Sunday itself(haha I was busy on Friday & Saturday!) especially the Lit one. The process was quite horrendous, but nvm, at least I finished it already. yay!

I was so tired in class today. Well, at least for SOME of the classes. We had triple physics - 2 for prac; 1 for remedial. Sad thing, I was so bored. I think physics is not my thing, but I'm taking it anyway so yah. Because, don't expect me to cut animals up, no no no way. There's a physics test next Monday, and I think I'm failing it. I shouldn't be. Omg studyyy! Optical lenses?! Urgh.

I'm waiting for Gemma to reach school before we can go to Young Midas consultation for PW at 4, which is like 10 minutes away. We're sure to be late, I see the other group making their way there already! Ohhhh man! Plus it's only the two of us going, the other people tsk tsk. Sigh.

Urgh everything suck right now. I feel like flushing myself down the toilet bowl or smth. The 3 essays, 6 graphs, 4 worksheets & 7 chapters are killing me, they are. Don't ever buy 3647 for 4D because I tell you, it's the LAST number in the world that will ever strike.

And I was happily telling dear friends to cheer up yesterday. How ironic.

Somehow the emo kid article thing comes to my mind...

I have not blogged since last Saturday. It's probably due to the bustle and hustle of this entire week, I-have-no-time. I don't know but recently, people around me are just, getting SAD. Different people, different problems. So when I know they're SAD, I get SAD. And I start getting SADder. That's 5 SADs. Just cheer up okay guys, love you all.

I'm so thankful that this week of school is over. At least I cleared all the homework or stuff I owed teachers (except Emath). Oops. But I stayed up till 1 plus yesterday just to finish my four-page chinese compo and SS SBQ. I'm lamenting about not sleeping enough! Well, partly I have myself to blame. ): sad. I got into Lit Trip but decided to withdraw, so one moment I'm in, one moment I'm out. I heard the price got higher. >:( Cherie I date you! We shall go out while the rest are busy with their trips. haha

Physics was okay today, but I get confused over the graphs. I'm telling you now: I HATE GRAPHS I HATE GRAPHS I HATE GRAPHS! Whatever the subject may be (math or science or whatever) I just hate graphs! Math graphs are especially sucky. Chemistry today was as usual, he was loud, loud enough to give us shocks and loud enough to be heard even from the second level. His talking tone isn't though, he kept asking me about PW. Then double English, we did a Straits Times article about EMO KIDS and formal writing format.

From the article:
"But the defining trademark for emo kids has to be heavily lined eyes and long fringed hair which covers half their face." hahaha not exactly true right? It all depends.
"Another emo teen, an 18-year-old polytechnic boy, said it (cutting themselves& having the scars) is part of the fashion." huh fashion?! I have to ponder more on that!

I need to get off this page. I have been stoning here for the past 15mins?

In Singapore, school holidays aren't literally SCHOOL HOLIDAYS. Okay I don't know about June or December but for March & September, they AREN'T. Seriously. Which is saddening): Where's our break then?!

My March holidays schedule:
☆Monday - math remedial; SS project meeting; lesson
☆Tuesday - towning with Esther:D; lesson
☆Wednesday - homework(argh I won't do them!); tuition(I forgot!); lesson
☆Thursday - tuition; lit project meeting
☆Friday - class outing at cine:D; lesson
☆Saturday - ???
☆Sunday - (the dreaded last day of the hols); dance

I hope I still have time to blog because my mum has banned me from this machine. Current decision: I'll add on to this post for the happenings of Mar hols(mon-fri) instead of always starting a new post.

Monday
Math remedial at 9, but Julia & I were late(okay fine, I was late) haha just because we failed our Amath test. Omg I cannot tolerate my carelessness. I need just ONEMOREMARK to not go for remedial. BUT, remedial helped a bit though. Mrs Chan was really nice, she treated us to lots of food and chrysanthemum(JU!♥) pkt drinks! She told us to eat whatever we wanted. haha nice.

Then I bused down to Cherie's house for SS project. Okay we filmed paper boats at her swimming pool & cars by the road along nygh - for transportation. bwahaha and to our dismay expectation, all the boats died. No funeral planned. The role-play parts were postponed(I think) because we were all feeling lethargic and whining away. hahaha and batteries were running flat.

Lesson at night, went okay.

Tuesday
I made 3 people wait today, all due to me having NO sense of time. sigh):
I'm really sorry!

Towning with Esther was a blast, we can like talk & talk & talk about anything under the sun!(: Loveyouchic! Aww but you fell for my trick! Can't wait for the next hols or outing or smth. hahaha. hk restaurant again sometime okay! and seoul garden!

Lesson was good, but I'm in a dilemma now.

Wednesday
I was SUPPOSED to do homework and study. But I didn't. Okay fine, a bit. And the most unforgivable thing is I forgot I had tuition! Oh man, I feel so pathetic now- forgot about tuition, haven't finished my homework, not yet studied for my chem test(ahh cations&anions), not yet done anything really productive over these 3 days, slacking around all the time. Man this is bad, I don't wish to talk about it further.

Lesson was not very good. I learnt stuff though! But... nvm.

Thursday
Thursday Thursday. How fast time zooms. I told myself to wake up at 6.30am just to [attempt] to finish my tuition homework, but it was to no avail. hahaha! Because I ended up only waking up at 7.15. I skipped breakfast and went into a sudden hardworking mode, which I think is seldom seen. Yup, I just admitted I-AM-LAZY. So I did did did and my tuition teacher came at 8. He told me the worksheet I was doing was for when I have time. Eh he cheated my feelings luh. I planned to wake up at 6.30 7.15 just to do that worksheet! Okay nvm nvm I'm not some petty woman(:

Met the rest at Admiralty[Eleanor's house] for lit project. I was late AGAIN. Omg I think I suit the name Miss Late. Anyway I like Eleanor's house! (omg I just realised everyone of us has to do an essay each!) gahrhwdocvnievsdlbmnds@@!##%^*! I'm lazy to talk about lit, so I should just move on to the nicer parts.
The funny part:
-We were walking along a stretch of grass & Cherie was making A LOT of noise-
"Cherie! Quiet if not I push you to the mimosa then you know!"
-Eleanor & Cherie starts laughing-
"Adria, name me some other plants there is"
"Kallang"
-And the 3 of us started laughing like mad women on the loose(until my stomach was so painful I almost couldn't walk properly)-

Fine, laugh at me! It was just a slip of my mouth okay! I meant lallang. LALLANG. PW meeting was cancelled but I forgot to inform Rachel. So she left for KAP. I feel sooo bad!): sorrysorry.

Friday
Class outing!(: We watched two movies, namely My Super Ex-girlfriend and John Tucker Must Die. I thought John Tucker Must Die is reallyreally funny. OMG. HAHAHA! And so, we chilled at cine till about 5 plus.

This was my rushing day! I rushed to places like some mad woman. Rushed walking, rushed bus-ing, rushed train-ing, which resulted in LATENESS. ): again.

Lesson was unexpectedly okay. I thought it was not gonna be good.

Saturday
...and it lit up. (:

In a Past Life...

You Were: An Albino Belly Dancer. Where You Lived: Austria. How You Died: Natural causes.

haha saw this on Joey's blog and I was so interested I tried it too. omg it's damn weird. Albino Belly Dancer. haha oh well. I highly doubt this thing is true anyway.

right, now for the sugar, spice & everything nice.

I was browsing through some random mag and I saw really gorgeous cupcakes & cookies, so I went to the website. They're deliciously wonderful I can't stand the sight of them because they tempt me far too much. sigh

THECUPCAKEBAKERY -clickclick. I simply adore this♥

& the tempting goods from thecupcakebakery are,

the biscuits:







Oh some don't even look like biscuits!

the cupcakes:





They're so pretty. Even if I have a hundred of each, I wouldn't bear to eat any!

the cakes:





Well, the cakes are cool.cool.cool.

the brownies:



Although the brownies are the dullest in colour, they still look super yummy!

acknowledgements: thecupcakebakery.tk

the stuff are nice right nice right! haha after looking at so much good stuff, dinner seems disgustinglike only passing grade.

Mummy, I don't want dinner tonight!

We went cine this afternoon to book the room (okay, waitwait it sounds a bit wrong) for the movie marathon(: no I meant those rooms where you can host parties & stuff. Something like function rooms. uh huh. I can't wait for the March hols! But they don't even seem like a holiday because we're so busy! With homework & projects & what not. I don't like>:(

Omg I can't believe one week has passed. whatwhatwhat? It's disgusting-ly fast. I still remember my Nanyang friends asking me about obs and what NOT to bring. hahaha! And like yes, they're coming back tomorrow, that means some accounts of their experience. It MAY be different from ours. Why is time passing so fast when we want it to be slower & dragging itself when we can't wait for it to pass? It's always like that, I still miss obs. ):

Okay I just realised I'm in trouble. I HAVEN'T STARTED ON HOMEWORK. who cares?
the to-do list(due tomorrow):
-write obs reflection/complete the journal/do post-activity
-finish PE log & that other piece of thing
-physics worksheet
-read ss news articles (there's a current affairs test tmr, shit)
-get mentally prepared for descriptive essay test tmr (heh:D)

That's suffocating me, look at the time now, 10.15pm. I'm working against time. hahaha eeyer I don't want to end up sleeping at 12 plus 1 AGAIN. Sleeping late and having to wake up super early the next morning is no funny joke, it's disgusting. Tests are disgusting too, grosser than the coffee shop's toilet bowl. Serious. Amath test result back already, omg disgusting. I need my one mark!):

Just one more day to break. The sandfly bites are annoying me, disgusting. I'm itching all over. Oh man looks like I've abused the use of the word 'disgusting'.

I still remember a special someone saying this to me,
"When things suck big time, always remember that years down the road when you look back, it's going to be bittersweet."

This advice means a lot, thank you special someone I love you loads♥

Enjoy your day, enjoy your youth! hahahahaha. yes laugh more luh:DD

p/s before you close the window, do you notice smth different???

oh man, i survived obs,obs,obs. i feel so proud of myself. haha whatever right?

anywayyyy, obs is the LOVE! damn i'm missing it alr): okay shall fill you in with the details now

DAY 1
-first, it was of course getting to know my watch members & stuff. i'm in the watch MARCO POLO! it rocks, totally. & our trainer is birin. he's damn nice & also funny i tell you. always "just kidding!"
-took 2 grp pics (1 of them is rather sucky!)
-checked the store for all the stuff & had lunch
-first wet activity: kayaking. we tried capsizing! ahh i tasted SALT in my mouth okay>:( okay but still, i decided i like kayaking(:
-then it was tent-pitching. was raining a bit. my tent mates were sandra, yiting & elyn! & our tent was the one used for demo so we didn't exactly pitch our own:D heh. helped others though.
-d-i-n-n-e-r. OMGGG, sucked luh. but we were really hungry so we just ate. & i was having this painful headache which spoiled my whole mood>:(

DAY 2
-morning joggg. cos we were late for dinner on day 1, we had to morning jog! very early in the morning okay.
-trek to camp 1. OHMYGOSH THE BAGPACK WAS HOW ANNOYING-LY HEAVY! urh. i was practically dying luh. first time carrying such a heavy bagpack. it started raining halfway, so the grounds were muddy & slippery. ONE of my shoe sole dropped. so tiring!!! i felt like some POW.
-camp 1's REALLY nice. it looks like some resort/club. hahah the best thing was the lunch&dinner there. food was so good.
-height element. our watch did postman walk & another one(oh man, i forgot the name!) we took turns for roles like climber/belayer/rope manager/anchormen so on. 2 people didn't try cos there was a shortage of time, that includes ME. ahh fine):
-kayaked again! did t-x rescue this time. omg snd&I were paddling nowhere, like we were damn lost. anyway, we were the first pair to capsize for jessica&mongyi to 'rescue'. haha we were freaking out cos of the jellyfishes & the other sea things. eewl.

DAY 3
-THE SEA EXPEDITION. i think we kayaked through a sea, a river, a swamp, another river then another sea to reach our destination. hahaha. snd&I thought our hands were breaking but it was still really fun. the swamp was, OMG, disgusting. my shoes were stuckkk, in that stinking knee-length grey-black mud. oh man was panicking & forcing them out using my hands. okay then the best thing was we found out we could just FLOAT around without stepping into that crazy mud. ahh what the hell are lifevests for then?! we reached out destination(campsite 3) which was gross. no toilets nothing. only trees, land, plants and a super wonderful quarry!:D
-quarry-ing. hahah this quarry was freshwater-filled! some sort of swimming pool. imagine this in the middle of some sucky forest. pretty nice, in fact, drop-dead gorgeous man. love it to bits. we PLAYED in there for like 1 hour plus. birin kept dunking people, but he himself got dunked by us too!(x reciprocal.
-pitching tents. it-was-so-chaotic!))))): IT RAINED, so everyone was drenched to the skin & shivering in the cold.
-cooked maggie mee. didn't taste as nice as I had expected it to be. a LOTTT was left unfinished. heh prob because of everyone's moods.
-sleeping. damn i was bloody pissed. (hahahah!) we had to sleep in a swimmingpool-ish tent. water everywhere, seriously. i was in stinky WET clothes okay, felt so what. & stupid sandflies were biting me, i SAW. urh urh urhggggggggg. whatever. i HATE sandflies. my whole leg got the bites luh>:( i only slept 1,2 or 3 hours? pathetic. i think this was the worst part of the camp.

DAY 4
this day felt reallyyyyyy fast!):
-trekking. aha going back to base camp(camp 2). it was [stilllllll] raining BUT the rain turned out to be a blessing in disguise because we trekked the shortcut instead. i was so thankful. muahaha. the kayaking ppl also took the short way back (eh you guys missed the fun at the swamp&river! aww) anyway this trek was so much better than the last one, much faster also. there were banners along the way lah, like "Perseverance prevails when all else fails." truetrue, we can't give up easily.
-games!!! we played keypunch & skipping with another two watches Armstrong & Cook. we won BOTHHHH!:DDD three cheers to Marco Polo.
-cooking. i cooked! with jess&the rest too. hahaha yah. it was our last feast): like there were quite a lot of food cos we had to finish everything up. save the best for the last(: it was one of the nicest meals in obs. yay.
-shopping for souvenirs. bought 2 shirts&the MUG! pretty. we need to keep smth to rmb obs as much as possible!
-felt supersuper sad at night. it's like: omg can't believe it's day 4 alr...eh going home tmr...miss obs...ahhhhhh. those kinda stuff. haha.

DAY 5
-even shorter. was really emotional)))): we picked rocks and commited ourselves to do things.
"I commit myself to treasure the people around me and to accept everyone for who they are."
then we threw our rocks into the sea so that no one can take it away from us. maybe mine is somewhere at the seabed, or washed upon the shore alr. haha somewhere far away i know.
-then birin told us that it was marco polo's last circle. i felt damn sad okay))))))): omg.omg.omg no. sigh. many of us wanted to stay but go home at the same time.
-got up the bumboat & headed back to civillisation.

that's all. will add in the pics next time if i can.

everyone should just go to obs! i may go again. hahah. i never thought i would miss obs, but i do. okay now i get why my some seniors love obs so much.

I LOVE&MISS OBS! plus Marco Polo, Birin, fellow polos, everythinggg that happened. & of course that island ubin.
