i shall do a quick post.

CS Production has come to an end.

I had my fair share of fun. it was definitely an interesting experience, an eye-opener actually, cos i've never been in a theatre production before. so it was pretty cool seeing the preparation process and actually been part of it. it was definitely quite weird having to turn at corners when we can just walk right through. had to exercise some imagination. but it got quite habitual afterwards.

i take my hat off to the people who put in effort. i believe that everybody did, whether i have a good impression of them or not, whether they were good leaders, good listeners or not for some of people that i actually interact with most of the time, i'm sure we all put in effort.

anyway, i have to admit that propsters as a whole was not efficient but ah well, i think we were good during the friday night performance, rather not that good during the matinee and great during the final show. im not gng to touch park benches for quite a while. heh. oh and some people thought there were machines to clear and put the props. i take that as a compliment :)

but i really felt that the final show was great. even though i couldn't watch the show, but i could feel the energy on stage and in the audience. and the xie mu was like woah. could really tell everybody was happy it ended, and on a great note.

and how can i end this post without talking about the propsters' island? the island is dimly lighted with this pathetic blue light and most of the time propsters are there. and we are totally capable of making ourselves comfortable everywhere. haha. but i don't think i will miss that place. i need light, like to erm photosynthesize or sth.

ok it was supposed to be a quick post. so i thank cs for the opportunity to be involved in this first ever cs theatre production, for the slice of very nice cake on my bday (which happened to be the first day of the show 27th march), for making me more appreciative of being full and good food (cos the food was really really horrible, so horrible i was never full and constantly hungry) and for letting me spend my bday more meaningfully than i would have (probably go school go out for dinner at swensens and go home sleep -.-).

i will wait for gladine to send me pictures then i post. she took a photo of me buying my first 2 bottles of alcohol. 2 for $9.90 ok. haha. and they are still in the fridge. buy for the sake of buying -.-

ah ok byebye!

see the clock?

my aim for 'A' levels: 8 distinctions

there, i've put it down in words and i'm gna work towards it. i've set an intensive regime to help myself gear up for attaining my goal. i hope it works.

anyway, it's been a long time since i blogged. i decided to blog now cos i figured the i should blog one last time before i turn 18 next friday (this is a very very subtle hint to you that my bday is next friday).

it seemed like nth much went on in my life since i last blog but it seemed so busy. probably cos whatever happened been like pretty much the same. school, studies, sailing, cs production dadada. been busy, but satisfied with my busy life. some downs here and there, but relatively fine. oh god my summary skill rocks. i jus basically summarised my life for the past 3 weeks in this tiny paragraph -.-

it's the march hols now im dng my share of work, exercise, rest and relax. yu le bai fen bai is great (: i'm watching zhong ji san guo now. ive decided to keep MIT for later cos the stories are per episode so i can watch those anytime. but zhong ji san guo is like once a week so once a week of hunk watching is perfectly fine and i can totally fit that into my intensive regime :D

HELLO! busybusy week.

monday - first cardio kick-mix lesson. i inititally thought that the class will be full of not very young people and me and jolene will be like so out of place but it turned out alright. there was a wide age range. got us in our 10s. got 20s 30s 40s and the instructor is in her 50s. lol. it was a good workout. they should incoroporate this into pe. heh. tmr got lesson :) yay.

tuesday - i attended my first physics tutorial. if u rmb, i mentioned that i have to miss h2 physics tutorial to attend my h3 lecture at hwachong. so there was no lecture cos it was lab week and i attended tutorial for the first time. how exciting.

wedsnesday - there was house comm selection. frankly speaking, i really dun give much of a damn. cos ultimately, the house comm is part of sc so wdv they plan or carry out will be like u knw as a whole council. the house comm is just impt for the whole rarh rarh thing in each house. and yah since when have i been enthu about hse stuff? or sch stuff for tht matter. and some of them were talking abt bonding the 4 hses blahblah which i think is really quite crappy. cos seriously, u think hse competition will destroy any friendships that have been fostered in the first four junior high years? if yes, then that ain't a true friendship. i guess the house animosity thing in dhs isnt strong like in other schools because we have alrdy known one another before being splitted in hses, instead of being splitted into houses even before we got to knw anyone. had sailing. finally handed in license application form but not paid -.-

thursday - I WENT HOME REACHED HOME AT 3PM AND WATCHED YU LE BAI FEN BAI JUST NICE GOT HU YU WEI AND TANG YU ZHE. SUPERBLY SEXY :D

friday - ok la nth special also. couldn't gen xi cos my h3 ended at 7 at the other end of the world. and hwachong was so lively on friday. they were having some mass house dance competition or sth i suppose.

saturday - lian pai 2. i wasn't late :D but as sieu ping says, nth to be proud of. it's my responsibility to turn up on time. and me and jolene were just attacking sp's sweets. gummies to be exact. and i found this wrapper with no sweet, and another with 2 sweets. anyway, propsters screwed up quite a bit during lian pai. due to lack of practice, last minute changes and some lack of brains. seriously some people are starfishes in disguise. and then me and shunjie came up with a brilliant idea for a magical clock weather thingy. heh.

still saturday (new para cos i dun want the para to be so long) - went to watch marley and me with my parents and jolene. good show. i mean how bad can a show about humans and dogs be? puppy marley is uber cute and dog marley is uber beautiful. ok if u have a dog, i suppose this show will trigger memories and a thinking. and it makes me appreciate hugo more. cos marley eats fax machines. hugo doesn't, or maybe thts cos i dun hv a fax machine at home but nvm. ok but anyway, SPOILERS. marley passed away at the end cos of some twisted stomach and partially of old age and john (owen wilson) had to make the decision to put him to sleep. it kinda make me think about the time when it's time for hugo. i mean it will come sooner or later however much i dun want it to. and i was just wondering if i will hv the courage to put him to sleep if there is ever such a need. and i wonder how i will react to the fact tht hugo is not ard anymore some day. and if i will ever have another dog again (cos u knw after the first dog pass away many people can't bear the pain and will refuse to have another dog).

still saturday - i watched role model. ok it's just this really typical nc16 show with lots of vulgarities and 2 scenes of nudity (topless) and yah basically like this lor. worth the laugh and all. addresses problems about family issues and cohesion and stuff like tht, but the vulgarities overwhelm all the underlying messages. lol.

sunday - ): tmr is monday ): i need to get back to work. byebye.

qiang qiang is playing on the radio. how apt.

HELLO I FEEL SO ACCOMPLISHED (:

ok so today early morning walked over to loyang to hitch a hike from jolene's father to go to the F1 pit building. reached there after a little detour. collected our bikes, adjust wdv needed to be adjusted and waited for the race to begin. even before we started, the 50km people come back alrdy which is like 1 half hr? o.o

ok so the cycling it was fine for the first few km. cos it was open road, so there were sceneries to look at. but when we entered the ecp area, it became all trees and trees and trees. so i got pretty sianed and bored and my ass was hurting like mad. but i continued cos got momentum. a little after the halfway 20km mark, this woman lost control of her bicycle and banged into me. i escaped with this 5mm scratch on my finger -.- she was rather badly hurt though. so i helped her like get a marshall cos it was a stretch of road where there was very little volunteers. then yah gave her my water cos she ran out of water and the next drink station was quite far. i am so nice. ok and after that, i couldnt get back my momentum so i started cycling like half leisurely. and when the ecp part ended and it was back on the roads again, i started gaining back my momentum. ok so i finished the 40km challenge in about 2hrs plus. faster than my estimated 2 half so im pretty pleased with it and i feel so accomplished. i can tell my grandchildren next time that their ah ma cycle 40km before on a bruised ass.

ok the week so far has been really tiring.

let's start on valentine's day. erm it was cs production's first lian pai. it was quite eye-opening la cos i nv take part in this kind of stuff before ma. and somemore all chinese. though i communicated with jolene and everybody else in english la. heh. and i think jolene and me are so efficient. sidenote: please remind me to get red corrugated plastic board. ok and i didn't have a date. went for dinner with my family and relatives who came back.

sunday went out with relatives and family also i think. aiya went out la.

ok school again on monday. didn't run cos need take cs picture. ok i think nth much happened cos i can't rmb.

weds sailing was cool. got wind got tide got current. just everything too strong. and i bruised my ass. explains the above (in cycling part). but it was a pretty cool sailing session. i capped many many times and i was tired from getting back up my boat. lol.

thursday i didn't go for the seminar that we all volunteered for cos i had h3 lab session at ntu. me and jochebed got lost at ntu but this kind man led us to the correct place. pretty straightforward kind of experiment. just got really tedious calculations. and i'm partner A so i need to do a formal lab report which i hv no idea how to but i will find out. i hv to cos the report is 10% of a lvls.

friday was a lethargic day. i was jogging at snail's pace during pe and the weather was so hot. june thaddeus and qy were absent. i went home after gp cos my head was aching and i was feeling damn giddy. the taxi driver was so talkative i had to ask him to ssshhh. went home slept, overslept and rushed to slumdog.

pretty good movie i must say. it's rather like a documentary but presented in a movie/drama kinda way to attract more pple to watch it. but then, the director was trained in documentaries so i guess the documentary training aspect came through.

saturday i went to watch benjamin buttons. the movie was quite draggy at the starting. and i think 3hrs is too long, especially for someone with a bruised ass. so i was practically lying down to watch it. the theatre was rather empty. but then, i went to klp, how crowded can it be? ok im not gng to say much abt bb cos i knw many pple want to and hv not watched it yet. but overall, its a pretty nice movie with excellent makeup. really really good. just a tad too long.

i wanna watch role model and marley & me next week.

ok back to maths ):

Some people just don't know when to shut the hell up.

i am tired. i am going to sleep after i finish typing this chunk of rubbish. tmr is gna be a long day, but nvm because my brother is coming back tmr :)

byebye goodnight.

OMG IT'S LIKE 4 AND I AM HOME!

ha. actly i was home at 3. but i walked my dog and went for a run. run ok. not jog. RUN. but short run. and during my run, jiaqi called me to ask me about thermal and she could tell that i was running. lol.

ok so since the last time i updated, nth much happened. school as normal.

sailing was great ytd. there was wind, a bit erratic but there was wind. need to hike out kind of wind ok. long time dun hv liddat alrdy. there was current, though it wasnt to our advantage but nvm. haha. apparantly, cos wad full moon then tide dunno wad or wad la. anyway it was before a rain so we moved. jolene moved :D haha.

my uncle and aunt came back from holland and they are sleeping in my room so im sleeping in my brother's room and when my brother returns from thailand on sat he can sleep on the sofa. my hse got a lot of sofa let him choose. yay my brother coming back :D

u knw when my brother first left for ns, it felt weird not having him ard in the hse. like sth was missing. then i got used to it but there are times that i will miss him one. aww so sweet. heh.

oh and i was reflecting ytd why i dun like some teachers and i got my conclusion. because the teachers cannot teach me what i dunno. i dun like those teachers that just teach us wad we need to knw then dun make sure we understand. all they care is we knw how to apply and score for a lvls. i want to understand wad im supposed to knw. and plus the way the teacher carries himself or herself and how he or she communicates with the students also very important. if the moe advert (u knw the one wad study history test geog study geog test history passion is children that one) interview me i will thank mr nigel koh.

ok and i was watching cna (which is wad the school canteen tv shld be showing) just now and all the news are like australia big fire death toll 191 and expected to rise, or people die in iraq cos of dunno wad shooting, or earthquake magnitude 7.0 in indonesia which activated tsunami warning, or pyongyang dunno wad nuclear test which dunno wad (basically sth bad), or some company lost over a 100 million USD in dunno which quarter. like all bad news u knw. if i only watch news, i will be a very pessimistic person. oh and i saw this news title but didnt read it cos the newspaper wasnt mine and its sth abt gum disease triggering aids.

that's a reason why i dun want kids. ok partially. i dun think i will make a good mother with my temper and yah u knw la har. and yah the world is a place gng downhill. oooh gp gp. discuss -.-

and i will share with u a piece of news regarding the australia fire.

SYDNEY - ONE turtle's shell melted and fused to its body, while a baby wallaby's ears were fried to a crisp. Kangaroos seared their feet, and birds scorched by Australia's worst-ever wildfires plummeted from the sky.

More than 180 people were killed in the weekend's fires, and on Wednesday, the scope of the devastation to Australia's wildlife began to emerge with officials estimating millions of animals also perished in the inferno.

'It's just horrific,' said Neil Morgan, president of the Statewide Wildlife Rescue Emergency Service in Victoria, the state where the raging fires were still burning. 'It's disaster all around for humans and animals as well.'

Animal shelters and clinics across the region have been inundated with hundreds of burned and blistered creatures who escaped the fires.

Many of the kangaroos rescuers found were suffering from burned feet, a result of their territorial behavior, one rescuer said. After escaping the initial flames, the creatures - which like to stay in one area - likely circled back to their homes, singeing their feet on the smoldering ground.

Already one furry survivor has emerged a star: a koala, nicknamed 'Sam' by her rescuers, was found moving gingerly on scorched paws by a fire patrol on Sunday. Firefighter David Tree offered the creature a bottle of water, which she eagerly accepted, holding Tree's hand as he poured water into her mouth. A photograph of the encounter has now been seen around the world.

Sam was being treated at the Mountain Ash Wildlife Shelter in Rawson, 170 kilometres east of Melbourne, where she has attracted the attention of a male koala, nicknamed 'Bob,' manager Coleen Wood said. The two have been inseparable for the past few days, with Bob keeping a protective watch over his new friend, she said.

Meanwhile, workers at the shelter were scrambling to salve the wounds of possums, kangaroos, lizards -'everything and anything,' she added.

'We had a turtle come through that was just about melted - still alive,' Ms Wood said. 'The whole thing was just fused toether - it was just horrendous. It just goes to show how intense (the fire) was in the area.'

The animals arriving appear stressed, but generally seem to understand the veterinarians are trying to help them, Ms Wood said. Kangaroos and koalas are widespread in Australia and are not particularly scared of humans.

Wildlife Victoria, a wildlife rescue group, has teams in place at several staging areas near the worst-hit regions, with volunteers seeing a range of injuries from burned lungs and smoke inhalation to singed paws.

Rescuers were just being allowed to venture into the blackened zones on Wednesday, and while the scope of the impact on wildlife was still unclear, it was likely to be enormous, Wildlife Victoria president Jon Rowdon said.

'We've got a wallaby joey at the moment that has crispy fried ears because he stuck his head out of his mum's pouch and lost all his whiskers and cooked up his nose,' he said. 'They're the ones your hearts really go out to.'

Rescuers had set up vaporising tents to help creatures whose lungs were burned by the searing heat and smoke.

'There will probably be a significant number which probably can only be euthanised to end their suffering,' Mr Rowdon said. 'And my heart goes out to the people who are given that task.' -- AP
