i realised that i still continue to blog because i dont want anything memorable to fade as time passes. it's quite interesting to read all your previous posts. and so, i dont understand why some people like to delete their posts from time to time. so weird.
okay overall regional youth conference was fun! nothing much about yesterday. we listened to around four hours of talks and forum. the audi was filled with foreign students from malaysia indian and china. was trying to translate to them whatever the people on stage had said as they couldnt understand anything. throughout the whole thing i was very very amused by them. for example,
Indian students(on stage giving presentation): every morning, we will pray and end our prayer with "shanti" which means peace and..... china guy behind me: (in his blur tone and china accent) 啊? 上帝？
oh my tian it was sooooo funny. if you heard him. i laughed until i tear. and got stomachache.
day 2 was just amazing race. started off in school. my group was mainly foreigners. they are really nice ppl. and enthusiastic. this was actually my first time being so enthu in this kind of game too. hah. usually i would just follow everyone blindly but this time i actually contributed and helped. =)
we started with a picture of fort canning gate. at first we had no idea where that was. but just anyhow guess because the place looks like a tunnel or whatever. but what the hell first station already so far. then have to slowly come back to other stations. very bu shun lu okay. and first station wasnt good. we even have to wait to play the game. wasted our precious time. we were supposed to film a video which we have to include in our final product. ours was rather retarded but got ppl told me that our skit was quite organized. weeee. our story line is mainly like this:
once there was two tribes. one is YE with their corn. (yemen was our group name) and another tribe MEN with their carrots. and they were fighting over peas. so fight fight fight. and couldnt fight anymore. so they decided to get peace over the peas! and so, they became YEMEN.
thanks i know it's kind of retarded. but the response during dinner was good. ppl laughed. heh not bad.
next station, went back to the direction we came. din do much in botanic garden. then second activity was supposed to walk around and find out what four buildings on the ws are and their addresses. xiang was smart enough to bring a map. and the four buildings just laid nicely on the map. haha cool right. it was all the embassy or high commision of western countries. and i was lucky to be able to access internet on my phone to check the addresses. so we finished the task without having to walk everywhere. yay. even the station master was like: how on earth did you get the postal code? haha we smart mah.
moving on to newton food centre. walked all the way from tanglin mall to orchard mrt stn. cause all buses were too crowded. did some stupid games and got our marks minus off in newton.=( and when we finally got the clue we took so long to guess it la. it was actually the clock tower of hwa chong. cant believe that i took so long to figure it out. xiang and me were thinking about some hotel or what. but still we wasted a lot of time there as we couldnt upload the pictures to the computer. and some more, we had to go back to the mrt stn, cross the underpass and walk to the other bus stop. oh my tian it was damn bu shun lu can.
so went down at hc. me thought that the second gate would be nearer to the clock tower in hc so went down there. and guess what, the gate was closed.-.- so wasted a bit of time again. the game was rather lame. and the station masters were annoying. shant mentioned much. next up is national library. walked all the way from the bus station to the library. then couldnt find the station masters. apparently they got chased out by security guards. and we were complaining to jia that we wasted our time looking for the sl. and she was like 'why didnt you call me?'. and faye chik was also there. okay paise din think of that. i was thinking of those sl like rachel wanning merrilyn. and i cant possibly call them right. hehe.
so finished this station then went back to school. gave up on the next station fullerton hotel(dunno how to spell) cause it was too far and we will probably be late. me and xiang keep sneaking to the back of the bus and eat. on the bus met jacq and eva's group. but we still reached school earlier than them. because we being kiasu actually ran.
dinner at night. our end product video(which was done by sharanya and joyce, and editted by super pro xiang) was in top 8 and was screened. i personally think that it's very cool and nice.=D and despite all the bu shun lu and troubles we got, we came in first among twenty sth group! lol din expect that at all. we got some very cute m&m bottles that you can pull the hand of the toy then the chocolate will drop out. and thanks to jacq and michelle who helped me to finish the chocolate even before we got out of the school.
and now i shall talk about my groupmates. i really thank all of them to trust us the mgs-ians when we made decisions and also to be so enthu. i heard that some indians from other group even fake sick and said stuff like 'if i walk another one mile more i am gonna faint'. i am really glad that my groupmates all tried their best. one girl from india actually hurt her leg before this. but she still tried to run with us. we were really kiasu and ran a lot. and the china people also. even though they were not able to understand the instructions of games, they still participate and contributed. oh wow this is like my obs group. everybody gives their best and nobody whines or complains. even though some of us got really irritated but we still persevered. so overall we really had fun! and we were the best! and i made friends but the indians just left singapore tonight=( and the malaysians going back tomorrow. =((( sad. doubt i will ever see them again. sigh.
i promised to send the malaysians off early in the morning tomorrow. got to sleep now. bye.=)(saying to myself)
today was mother tongue listening comprehension. i was telling myself, you already screwed up your oral so you really have to do well for this. but still feeling very unsure. some questions are really ambiguous. i really wanted to do very well. now it seems quite hard.
the whole listening compre exam was only like what, twenty minutes? but we wasted around one hour. first 20 minutes listened to nice music. managed to control myself and not fall asleep. i kind of missed our classroom last year, where there is greenery outside the window. you can look at the view and appreciate the view when you are sleepy.
after lc then came back. went to swim for a while. belle said i am obsessed with swimming. i am not la. then it starting to rain. sigh. the next few days will be quite hectic.
another song today, very very long ago but i just started to like it.
although i knew that no one comes and read this blog anymore, somehow i just cant blog about everything. still have scruples about letting people read my feelings and thoughts. well, diary is always better. for secret. anyway, my secret is so not secret lo. but i trust my friends.=)
today's routine was actually well planned. but this morning i was angry with myself. in a tantrum. for no reason. maybe there are just too many possible reasons and i am confused. but i bet i am the only one making the whole thing complicated and confused myself.
dance class back to normal now. but once a week is definitely too short! i want longer longer longer longer=(
Now listening to: Teardrops on my guitar.
Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's just so funny That I can't even see anyone when he's with me He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right, I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
addicted to this song. wow a breathtaking second. didnt know that i could be so easily contented. and low self esteem. sigh.
i want to be a volunteer. for spca. just went to browse through the spca website. realized that there are so many animals without owner. or abandoned. and i am quite sure that some were abused last time before they were saved and brought to spca. i really want to work for these animals. but i doubt i have the time to do so. sigh.
and today i screwed up my o level chinese oral. which is a bad start of o level. what the heck.
this week passed so fast! nothing interesting actually happened. i had been blogging about crap la. when i am just starting to enjoy staying in the room myself, my roommates are coming back tomorrow. Zzzz. and i told myself to clean the room this week. but in the end i didn't. bad.
i am really looking forward to the weekend. i need a break. sth popped out yesterday. and kind of ruined my week's plan. i don't like this. i don't like my plan to be disrupted. and i am lagging behind in math. this sucks. i can't find a motivation to get myself working. the only thing i can think of is i want to get in hc. but it seems so far away. sigh. if i want to dsa in i really have to chiong for my end-years.
we had a scholars' meeting the other day. rather surprised to find out that a lot of scholars want to go to vj. vj used to be my dream school. and i am like the only one aiming hc. seems like a lot of ppl have not so nice impression about hc ya.
i used to hate this song a lot. but now i suddenly fell in love with it.
