You're not supposed to be bogged down by insignificant things like that.

Stop worrying about things that you cant change, Stop feeling so inferior towards nearly everyone, Stop being so negative, Stop feeling ugly and useless. Because no matter how sucky life is, life still goes on. Try to make the best out of it and leave behind no regrets.

Even if you're going to be alone, you cant give up halfway.

I made up my mind already, im moving back to blogger. :D

http://www.precious-writings.blogspot.com

Relink me please. Im quite fickle-minded, so i may switch to livejournal again in future lol. But for now, i really miss blogger. But its super annoying that blogger still cant upload photos etc. Why cant the crews in blogger be as efficient as livejournal?

But i wont be deleting my livejournal. I wont be tagging people's blogs to ask them to relink. Cause though they replied me in their tagboards that they will relink me, i dont see them relinking me even few weeks after i tagged them. So i dont see the point in tagging.

Tag my blog k. Thanks and take care!

I am thinking of changing back to blogger.

But im still unsure about it yet -.-

Happy Birthday Singapore!

And, Happy Birthday to Chervon, Roxane, Seowtong and Weijie!

Is it that many people are using computer and accessing the internet right now? Because my computer's internet is so lag! It takes quite long just for a page to be loaded. This year's national day is boring, as compared to last year.

Anyway, im pleased to say that i have completed both the differentiation and integration package (but i left those questions that i dont know how to do blank -.-). Actually, i completed the integration package weeks ago. But still, i managed to finish the differentiation package within a span of one and the half week. Now, i can move on to emaths.

I have not completed any of the emaths packages since sec three. There's arithmetic, trigo, vectors, algebra etc etc. Urgh omg, i dont like emaths. ):

I feel like going to the CBD area tonight to watch the fireworks. I can never get bored of seeing fireworks every year. It just looks so magnificent. But i doubt i will be going out though. Seems like this year's national day is gonna be boring. But i shall reminiscence about how great last year's national day was.

I didn't regret taking part in the 'Dunk It' CIP during national day last year. And because of that, i got another 27 hours for CIP which sums up to more than 100 hours already! Yay to me! It was great to spend time with my friends during the afternoon and night, playing activities organised by some students from dunman high.

And most of all, i enjoyed looking at the CBD scenery at night. Looks so beautiful :)

 

Taken last year during National Day.

The weather is so hot recently, the clock in my room even shows that the temperature is above 30 degrees. Oh god, can you imagine how our children will be feeling in future when global warming becomes more severe? Sigh.

K bye people. :D

We had our NDP celebration and Racial Harmony Day celebration today!

And i have to say that, it was more interesting than i expected it to be. Thanks raudhah for bringing the ethnic costume, and the best part is that the ethnic costume she lent me was purple in colour! :D

I saw a kitten in our school early in the morning today and its super cute. But it kinda makes me think of bombom (my pet cat that stayed with me for 10 years, but died a year ago).

Quite many people wore ethnic costume though, so the students look rather colourful. (:

I didnt really listen to mr ho's lessons which was before the celebration. His lessons are only for an hour, and he's teaching vectors. Oh god, thats one of the most uninteresting topic to me. -.-

The celebration at the hall was fun. Everyone was singing the NDP songs enthusiastically. But the bad thing is that, the hall is super hot. And wearing an ethnic costume makes it even hotter. I got no idea why two helicopter fans are installed in the hall.

Firstly, the fans are way too high up, and its kind of impossible for the wind to reach us. Secondly, the fans are not in full blast. Thirdly, there's more than 500 students in the hall, can you imagine how hot it is? -.- But still, the efforts made by the principal to install the fans are appreciated, since its better this way than having no fans at all -.-

Ok. We camwhored a lot today also. Its the last year in damai already, and also the first time i wear ethnic costume since i stepped into damai. Yujing asked me a lame question today, he asked why girls like to camwhore -.-

Ask any girls out there, and im sure the reasons they give will be almost similar. For remembrance, of course! I even kept the photos my family and i took in malaysia two years ago in my phone. I shall post the photos taken today, but not all.

Livejournal can only upload one photo at a time. And baoshi didnt come to school today. ):

 

Chermaine, Hweeyuan, Me, Huiqi, Wanrong, Letong.

 

Purple ethnic costume and purple pencil case.

 

Letong, Veron, Zazz.

 

Lol. Three people in red and white and three people in ethnic costume.

 

Letong should have worn a bollywood costume, instead of an indian costume.

 

Photo taken outside our school library. (this photo seems incomplete without baoshi)

After the celebration, yujing and i stayed back to wait for louis, zazz and letong's english workshop to end. After that, letong and i changed clothes at her house before going over to louis's house.

When we reached his house, brandon and yujing are so pervertic, they keep watching and hearing some gross stuffs. So anyway, we went to the playground downstairs to play some games. We wanted to play hide and seek actually, but changed our mind in the end though. And, yujing, louis and brandon played tennis while letong and i played badminton.

At about 6pm plus, we went for dinner at kfc and i went home after that. In conclusion, today was a fun day. I am also glad that im finally talking to brandon. I have not been speaking to him for eight months due to some stuffs last year.

 

You see the height contrast? And brandon's expression? Sigh. I want to grow taller -.-

 

Me, Letong and Louis.

 

Group photo in the playground.

I'm so sleepy now, though its only 8pm plus. So jialat already la, i need afternoon naps everyday to keep me awake at night. I must kick off this habit, because i dont want to feel like a pig, and if i continue sleeping like that everyday, there wont be time for revision for the Os.

Alarm clocks are useless to me also. I always tell myself that i will only sleep for one hour for my afternoon nap, and when the alarm rings, i switch it to snooze mode and sleep all the way until 3 hours later -.-

I wont be updating often next week, there's so many mock exams and SL investiture rehearsal next week also. And its national day two days later. I hope to see the fireworks though. Lastly, please comment me! Feels so sad to see my livejournal so dead. ):

Happy Birthday Kingwei! :D

 

I'm trying my best to read harry potter and the half-blood prince book as fast as possible.

But i dont really have the time + I'm not in a reading mood recently. Why? ):

I'm only at page 80 plus and its not even at the climax of the story yet? For goodness sake, harry potter and gang have not even reached hogwarts school at page 80 plus -.- And there's like, more than 500 pages left to read? I guess, i have to keep renewing the book, hah!

This sounds weird, but im in the mood for amaths recently. When im feeling bored and though i have other homework due the next day, the first thing i do when i reach home is to start doing my differentiation package (despite having to endure the boiling rage and demoralization in me when i get many questions wrong.) I am out of my mind already lol.

I'm feeling rather happy today, cause i got 47/50 for my bio spelling test! :D Finally, a test didnt disappoint me this week. (: I dont know when we're getting back our emaths test, but i hope i can get a B3? but hah, fat hope though. I feel my maths and english deproving  -.-

Our school is celebrating national day and racial harmony day tomorrow. I wonder why our school celebrate racial harmony day so late? Other secondary schools celebrated it weeks ago le -.- But im somehow glad because we dont have much lessons going on tomorrow.

I think im wearing ethnic costume. That is, if raudhah remembers to help me bring, cause i dont have ethnic costume. And after school ends, im going out! :D Anyway, i checked out the timetables for prelims and it sucks like hell.

Bio exam and Amaths exam - On the same day.

History exam and Chemistry exam - On the same day.

History and Chemistry exam is on a friday. And goodness sake, by the end of the week, our batteries are flat already, how to press on for two 'memorising' subjects that falls on the same day?

As for bio and amaths exams, its retarded to put them on the same day. One of them requires us to memorise 20 over chapters, and the other subject needs tedious practicing, urgh! -.-

Nevermind, we shall just all mug hard for the exams. Anyway, though i have been learning dance for six years, i still get muscle ache very frequently, so silly right? I got muscle ache since last friday.

I did split last friday to stretch my muscle since the mid-year exams means that i stepped down from cca and have not been doing the dance warm-ups for a long time. So i got muscle ache till two days ago. And two days ago, i ran during pe and got muscle ache until now -.-

I wanted to post about something just now, but on second thoughts, i guess i will either post it in a locked post, or not post it at all. Bye and there's mock exams next week.

I'm feeling super worn out and in the mood to rant now.

I am really getting super lazy recently. I didn't really study that hard for the tests this term. I know that im supposed to put in more effort since O level is getting nearer. But i am really not in the mood to do homework and study for tests ever since school reopens.

We got back a number of tests this week and my results suck like shit. I failed my amaths test by half mark, this is the first time i fail an amaths test. But i feel super upset cause i lost a lot of marks due to carelessness. If i dont have careless mistakes, i could have gotten A2. But since its over already, what can i say? But oh well, i can complain, lol -.-

Careless Mistake One:

Correct answer: Coordinates of P = (1.5), Coordinates of Q = (3, 5 over 9)

My answer: When x = 1, y = 5 (Coordinates of P), When x = 3, y = 5 over 9. (Coordinates of Q)

Just because of this, i lost 2 marks out of 20, wth! -.-

Careless Mistake Two:

My workings are correct, but i differentiate wrongly. Why cant amaths be like physics? Why isn't there such things as 'error carry forward'? Lol, but im somehow glad that i lost marks for making careless mistakes, and not because i dont know how to do the questions.

We got back chinese tests too. I failed paper 2 but i pass paper 1. But overall, i still failed -.- But im not sad because after all, nobody pass paper 2 in my chinese class, and only two people pass overall for chinese, hehe.

More and more amaths packages are being handed out to us. The most fearful topic - Trigonometry.

Gosh, my amaths just sucks. Why cant my maths be as good as weicheng? -.- I left 3/4 of my differentiation not done yet. Im so happy that i completed 1/4 of it, im making progress, you know? (in a sarcastic tone)

Anyway, i shall talk about happy things and not grumble so much. Pe was fun today. In my opinion, i think i run and laugh a lot during pe just now. But i felt sleepy after that lol. Biology was fun today also, because it was free period. I feel so relieved that bio was free period, cause i didnt do my bio homework -.-

Thats all. No more happy things to say already. K bye people.

Finally the weekends are here, this week has been rather sucky -.-

When will i ever wake up and come to realise that it is just a delusion?

There's so many tests this week, but ms hassan says that the only results that will be in our report slip is our prelims. So i didnt really study much for the tests this week. Because i find that its O level that matters the most? sigh.

Anyway, we got back our chemistry and physics tests. And as expected, physics pull down my chemistry again. I cant believe how big the gap between my chem and physics marks is, its like 20 marks difference? -.- Anyway, here's the updates on the tests this week.

Amaths - Quite difficult! I kept racking my brains on how to do questions, until i felt as though my brain was going to explode anytime. But of course it didnt explode, or else i wouldn't be posting here already.

Bio Spelling Test - Not that hard, i guess. Ms Mak accidentally slipped out one of the answers for the test.

Emaths Test - Quite difficult also. For nearly all the questions, i am skeptical whether my workings are right or wrong.

I got nothing much to say about this week, so i shall talk about last week!

During sunday night last week, i was trying to do my homework as i got so many homework not done yet ( history, ss, physics, emaths). But my mum and sister wanted to go to the new shopping mall - Orchard Central.

And i felt indecisive whether i should go along with them or stay at home to do homework. But apparently, the idea of going to a shopping mall at night is too tempting already, so i went along with them, despite the fact that there's a lot of homework not done.

Shopped till around 10pm plus, took a bus home after that, and slept at around midnight, with all my homework not done. But thankfully, morning assembly is in class. So i took the time to chiong my homework, and managed to complete ss and history. But i managed to slip my way through amaths and physics without being scolded, heh.

School is getting super boring recently. During the lessons before recess, i look at the clock once every ten minutes and look forward to recess. After recess, i still look at the clock often and look forward to the end of school. -.-

One of the highlights of my day is when i take bus to school. There's this super handsome tpjc guy ( but zazz dont find him handsome o_o ) who takes bus 21 to his school everyday also and i look forward to see him board the bus. But he dont know who am i ( this makes me feel more pathetic) but i dont like him in that way, lol -.-

I wont mind going to tpjc though, lol. But i doubt my marks can make it. 12 points for L1R5. I sure cant make it -.- My humanities alone is already a C6 lor, increase my L1R5 by sooo much! :/

Anyway, im kinda excited to get back my chinese o level results. Not because i think i did well for it, but its because i want to know whether after putting in effort for chinese for the first time in four years, will my marks be a bad horror or a pleasant surprise?

If i get a B4 and below for chinese, its a bad horror because i did put in effort. If i get B3, i will be so happy that i will jump up and down with glee because i reached my target. And if i get A2 and above ( which is highly impossible cause i have never obtained such high marks since sec one before), i will be over the moon and i promise to run around the school, lol!

Ok. There's so much homework due next week - Integration and Differentiation package, Trigo and Vectors package.

But i have not started on trigo and differentiation yet. And my integration package is 3/4 done, and the vectors package is 1/4 done. And please lor, differentiation package is so thick, thicker than one cm in height ( i think?)

I must not be so lazy, O level is approaching in less than 100 days time ): Argh,i feel like dying -.-

Sorry that im such a disappointment to you, but i really cant help the fact that i am good at nothing. (:

Oh well, i know that i keep saying that i dont like my cca, and i regretted joining it. Yes, i kinda regretted joining it since dance isn't my forte (dance demoralises me -.-). But on the other hand, i didnt regret joining dance, nor do i dislike it. I like dance, thats why i chose dance as my cca in the first place right?

I wanted to choose band during secondary one, cause i have always liked instruments and i was in chinese orchestra in primary school. But in the end, i still choose dance since dance is also my cca in primary school.

Hmm, maybe i just dont like that fact that i suck in dance -.-

I like the dance warm ups though i always get muscle ache after that. And i like my dance instructor because she is always very patient in teaching us dance.

Now that i have stepped down, i am going to miss some of my juniors, especially yanyi, pohching, melissa, marisella, fangying etc. And i will miss the dance warms-up and the grumblings i made when there's dance practice.

But still, thanks to the people in dance for the memories we had during the dance practices. Thanks pohching, yanyi, melissa, louis, huiqi and yinhui for being good friends in dance. Hope to keep in touch with you all in future.

During secondary one when i joined dance, i liked dance at the start. But i kinda lose confidence in it after being not very good in dance. And i got bored of going dance and skipped dance with some of my friends at times. I think thats really bad of me, cause its my cca and i should be committed to it. But i performed at the old folks home and that was my first performance to the public, i think.

During secondary two, that was a rather important and crucial year to me, since im in the syf. I feel really honoured to be in it. I know that many of the dancers were unhappy that i didnt dance very well and pulled the dance down. But the fact is that, i did put in the effort, but not everyone in dance managed to see my effort, except my close friends.

I just lose confidence in dance, so no matter how i tried, the confidence is just gone and my improvement just isnt vast enough. Thanks to those who encouraged me and believed that i put in the effort though.

In other words, secondary two isnt a very pleasant year for me actually.

 

Me, Huiqi and Pohching during the syf day when im in secondary two.

During secondary three, dance was okay, i guess. I dont really have any bad memories about it. But there is a really good memory that i will never forget. I performed at ngee ann city with the other dancers at the november holidays. I felt really happy about it, because thats the first time i dance a hip-hop dance in front of the public and that performance was also the time where i get to know my juniors better, such as belinda, jiahui, jiaxin etc.

 

Belinda, Jiaxin, Liping, Me, Pohching.

 

The Hip-hop dance i performed with the rest.

During secondary four, i wasnt involved in the syf, which is kind of a relief to me as i can channel my time for the tests and upcoming O level. Cca this year is rather relaxing for me, and this year is also when i got close to yinhui and melissa. But i really felt very happy when i heard that dance got silver for syf. (:

There are many photos taken today. Shall upload them now.

Pohching, Yinhui, Yanyi, Veron.



Graduating Dancers.



The huge cake (enough to feed more than twenty mouths -.-)



Belinda, Yanyi, Yinhui, Veron.



Melissa and me.

The gifts given from my friends in dance.

Once again, thanks to the dance members for the memories we had together during the dance practices. I will definitely miss you all. (: And yanyi, i send you the photos online later this week ok? I didnt post all the photos cause i am rushing through this post. Im really sorry.

Okay, thats all, wish me luck for this week's tests, bye.

"I went back and visited the places that made once me happy, only to discover that it wasn't the location or that time in my life that caused my happiness, but the people there with me."

I went to Mr Poon's house earlier this afternoon for lunch.

And his house is super big and nice. He lives in a bangalow that is three-stories high. The people who went there too are - Charlyn, Zazz, Peier, Jasmine, Yinru, Hweechieh, Wenhui, Wanrong, Weixiong, Pakteng, Amar, Patricia. (thats all? sorry if i miss out anyone :X )

But he is really generous in providing us lunch. There is so much to eat, until mr poon call us down every hour to eat. There's kfc fried chickens (crispy and original), mashed potato, a variety of sushis, noodles, some crispy stuffs and a variety of drinks to choose from (7up, green tea, peach tea, orange juice, coke etc).

We were also watching a rather nice chinese show on tv, i dont know the title of the show, but all i know is that charlene choi, jacky chan and edison chen are acting in it.

After watching, zazz and i went to the second level to play pool. Zazz and charlyn are in a team, weixiong and i are in another. Ok, and im a super lousy player, i only managed to shoot one ball in -.-

After playing pool, zazz and i went to the third level and watch hweechieh and the rest play monopoly. And then, we went downstairs and eat somemore before going off. I went with zazz to cut hair. Wait, to be precise, its watching zazz cut hair.

After watching her cut hair, we shopped around and i bought a body foam -.-

At night, i went to my grandmother's house with my family for dinner and to clean up. I am like, posting this in chronological order -.- I wont be updating till the end of next week. There's so many tests next week.

Wednesday - amaths test, Thursday - bio spelling test ( sec 3 and 4 syllabus), Friday - Emaths test.

Walao, so sian. I dont even have the time to read the harry potter book lor -.-

No photos to post today, thanks to those who commented in my previous post =D

Ok, i am shocked to see myself posting in livejournal.

There's something wrong with the blogger posting page, thats why i came here to post. I have wanted to use livejournal since ages ago. But i cant bring myself to abandon my blog, after years or archives accumulated in there ( precious-writings.blogspot.com), and with the nuffnang ads and all..

But there's also nothing really memorable and wonderful that happened in my life so far. So i have no idea why im still clinging onto the memories of the past.

I like posting in here, the feeling of typing in an entirely brand new website feels great. But i dont know which website im using - blogger or livejournal?

But oh well, i will be using livejournal for the time being till blogger get fixed, and i will start making decisions from there. It feels like this website is so vacant, so please do comment me and include your name too. Thank you very much.

So.......I watched Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince with my friends after school today.

Those who went to the movie with me: Letong, Zazz, Yujing, Louis and Junjie.

Many people told me that the movie sucks, but personally i find it rather amusing and reasonably okay. I just dont like the ending. Dumbledore's death is such an important event in the movie, but the movie shows very little of it and the reactions of the main characters of the movie is rather vague?

Its like, the movie will leave you with a lot of unanswered confusion and questions, if you didnt read the book.

I read half of the book last year, but the books is so thick that im lazy to read the rest of it. But im a harry potter fan since young. In fact, the first time i read the first book of the harry potter series was when im nine years old. I love the movies absolutely.

Anyway, im starting to read harry potter books again. But i will be reading at a slow pace since there's so many upcoming tests? -.- Unlike primary school, there's only four subjects to cope with, which results in the ample time left to read lol.

 

Letong and I. ( hmm, junjie and louis didnt want to be included in the photo -.-)

To think that i used to have a crush on Draco Malfoy ( also known as tom felton in real life) when i was in primary school. I used to find him super cute and handsome, and am still having the same thinkings. (:

He really resembles the guy i used to like in primary school. They look rather alike.

But the guy i like in secondary school kinda looks like draco and the guy i like in primary school. I wonder why the kind of guys i like...are so expected and same -.-

I like his platinum blonde hair though! =D

I am going to mr poon's house for lunch with the other SLs tomorrow. Thats all.

If you are actually reading this post, can you just comment a hi or something? Because i want to know who is reading this and i want to know whether i get more readers on blogger or livejournal. Thanks a lot.

But i should still prepare myself to see no comments when i come to livejournal tomorrow. Ah.. ):
