CLICK HERE FOR HWA CHONG ORIENTATION 2008 VIDEO

Includes scenes from war games+extra footage after the credits!!!

Oh and for yingxy, if you want a glimpse of my past nemesis (name starts with D, I'm sure you recall) look out for the guy wearing red and glasses walking across the screen at 9:09.And there's a splat at about 9:11 because I was aiming for him and er...hit the camera man...MUAHAHA.but i got him eventually :P

ohoh and the exceedingly rude people you see at the end of the video are from my senior class :D they were at the war games to support us and er...spread the love.


boring...so boring...

i have nothing to blog about :)

ohoh.tomorrow's my scholarship interview.i think they'll ask me about OM because 1/2 my scholarship essay was about that.and hopefully those questions will be easy to answer :) still.scarryyyy... have to leave school early.luckily i'll only be missing perry lit.if i miss history i GG.

moving on moving on...i still have nothing to blog about :)

oh yes i went to the library yesterday.erm.was supposed to go with PJ and davina and random people but they decided to go today so i went alone.still,i ended up meeting 1/2 of A14 and 1/28 of A15 there.i spent 6 hours in the library!!!it was...productive.relatively.bu i think i still have to go back next week :( the amount of research is crazy.

gosh i can't believe i'm blogging about my trip to the library.i shan't be boring anymore.byebye :D


oh my gosh that last post was so emo.IGNORE IT!

mr miles has finally shown his true colours as an evil history teacher and set us a SOOPERDOOPER difficult essay.now we're at A level standard,our essay is supposed to be about 5-6 sides (typed) long 0.0 i've never written something like that before!!!have i mentioned i failed history in sec 1 and 2? :) eh...lemme try to remember the topic...to what extent...something...effective...argh.ok.

"To what extent did the Nationalist leaders of South East Asia offer effective leadership in the period up to 1941?"

and so being the brand new mugger me,i cheonged to the library to find books that can tell me what the hell was going on in SEA before 1941 only to find that the books in the library are completely irrelevent and the ones with the slightest potential for usefulness are being snapped up like hello kitties at mcdonalds.so i learnt JC library lesson no.1.SWIPE EVERYTHING OFF THE SHELF.just grab every single book with an english title and find some secluded spot where you can eliminate them at your own time.

still,i managed to get 3 books.but after several rounds of looking through the important looking sections,i have concluded that 98% of nationalist activity took place after 1945 :) there wasnt that simple.now all i have to do is FIND SOMETHING TO WRITE ABOUT.and the leaders to which miles told us to make reference to are seemingly non existent before WWII other that some vague reference to their days as a student.please mr miles...let this be a trick question...

ok this is a very boring post.it is an extended rant about a very boring subject so i shall prolong its existence and your torture no longer.goodbye.


(edit)this post was supposed to be posted yesterday but the whole world including the computers in the library decided to turn on me.but now that i've set up my comp in my semi-unlivable new house i can post it today :) don't mind it.it's very emo.(/edit)

today would have been an ok day if it hadn't started out with my mother screaming her lungs out at us at 6.30am.thanks mum.you ruined my day.

she can't say "your room is messy.pack it." she must say "WHY IS (INSERT RANDOM ARTICLE OF CLOTHING/EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL/PIECE OF SHIT) THIS HERE? WHY ARE YOU SITTING AROUND DOING NOTHING? YOU LIVE LIKE A PIG. WHAT DO I FEED YOU FOR? NOTHING GETS INTO THAT BRAINLESS HEAD OF YOURS. WHY DO YOU KEEP (INSERT RANDOM MEDICATION/TOILET ARTICLE/PIECE OF SHIT) THIS HERE? YOU'RE SO LAZY THAT'S WHY YOU ARE FAT AND USELESS AND A (FAILURE AT EVERYTHING YOU DO/LOUSY STUDENT/PIECE OF SHIT)"

I'M NOT LAZY.I'M NOT A LOUSY STUDENT DAMMIT.I FINISHED ALL MY MATH TUTORIALS AND REVISED AND REWROTE ALL MY HISTORY AND ECONS NOTES AND BORROWED EXTRA READING MATERIAL FOR LIT.AND YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO PUSH ME TO DO ANY OF THAT.SO FUCK OFF.

i should have said that :) but of course i just submitted (again and again and again) and swallowed all of her and my poison so now i'm an official victim of emotional suicide :D as you can see,i'm very happy today :) sad? what's that? a kind of candy? oh no i'm happy as a lark :) everything to day is so colourful and bright and gay! remember children,everything your parents do is good for you!so eat your vegetables and cod liver oil!submit unquestioningly to your parents,and you may just end up as happy and contented with your life like ME :D


back in the library :)

mr docherty,our scottish GP teacher is only returning from the motherland next week so we're having a 1.5 hr free period now :)

i'm not joining touch rugby :( so my mum's not angry with me anymore.but i'm still disappointed because she's always like that.she'll make a big fuss and throw a tantrum and not listen to your explanation.and whatever you do you're at the losing end because ultimately,she's your legal guardian.so i can't do anything but give in and then of course she'll be all happy and act like nothing's happened without considering the fact that the sacrifice i had to make meant more to me than to her.

did that make sense?

i shouldnt have typed all that.it just made me even more upset.

okok moving on.

i've managed to finish most of my work :) all econs and history notes are nicely rewritten and i've finished math turorial 3 (with much help from liangzhou's working).so i'm left with math tutorial 4,random articles to read for history and optional research for lit which i can do now seeing as i'm in the library.

ohoh and i just bought a new econs textbook and graphic calculator :D erm.i know it's a bit nerdy to be happy abt such purchases but new things make me happy :)


I WANT TO BLOG BUT I'M SO FUGRKROD TIRED.

okok.oh my god i'm so tired.haven't been blogging because right now my computer is in a box and i've been deprived of technology for nearly a week :(( the school finally gave us our usernames and passwords for the school comps today so i finally managed to get my hands on a piece of high tech equipment :)) i finished lessons at 130 so now i'm waiting for my sis who finishes at 3.zomg only 15 mins left.ok i'll hurry.

school's been pretty fun.getting to know the people in my class a little better and we celebrated 2 guys' birthdays today with island creamery :)

erm.oh and also i'm sick.sore throat and fever and headache which leads on to my next point,and as the sky is blue and i am fat and i can't lie,I'VE BEEN MUGGING.I've been studying to the point of exhaustion every single day i kid you not.every free hour i have is math math math plus the occasional boring history extract.and as proud as i'm feeling of myself,it's taken it's toll :( every night i'm so completely zonked and headachy.i know i should take a break but CAMBRIDGE BECKONS.I CAN'T RESIST.

okok enough caps.i can tell i'm starting to feel a little crazy from panadol,strepsils and chinese medicine overdose.

lalala.

oh yeah.having a little problem with my mum cause i wanna joing touch rugby and she won't let me D: i actually wanted to join OAC (outdoor activities club) but i'm worried abt travelling time (like going to kallang for kayaking and stuff) and i realise that i have obvious talent for ramming people down (see last post) but she insists that i dont join :( she cant get rid of the preconceived notions that rugby is for guys.hello?it's called touch rugby and is a girl's team for a reason.but she won't listen.she's been deciding my cca since primary school and i'm so sick of it.she didn't let me play the dizi,she made me join chinese publication and she made me join BSP X( that last one isnt really a cca but it was a killer.and as usual she's getting irrationally angry with me which just adds to my strees load because I HAVEN'T FINISHED THE BINOMIAL THEOREM TURORIAL AND NOW I'VE GOT A TRIGO ONE TO FINISH TOO.not to mention i need to rewrite my history and econs notes and read my lit stuff.i'm so upset :( i've been working so hard and she can't give me a break.

but other than that everything's dandy.if you can believe it.no really it is.i'm actually enjoying the work (a little) but i probably should slow down cause i can really feel it taking over my life.gosh that's totally weird cause last year and for the last 16 years i haven't been voluntarily doing an ounce of decent work.hey,i'm mature now!

okok.my phone says 2.53.my fingers and brain have been working overtime.so byebye for now.i will blog again tomorrow if i can tear myself away from math.


Surprisingly enough, I'm not feeling tired despite the crazy war games and only leaving school after 10.30pm today.

So.For the sake of my one (two?) reader(s) who has no idea what war games is,I shall explain.

Students in Hwa Chong are divided into 4 faculties, somewhat like houses.There's ares(red), athena(green), artemis(blue) and MIGHTY MIGHTY APOLLO.I don't think I need to elaborate on which fac I'm in :) So other than some other petty little competitions throughout the year (like cheering) there is WAR GAMES where all the faculties slug it out man-to-man armed with nothing but a pretty t-shirt and little plastic bags filled with coloured water.The aim is to hit the targets of the other faculties and in the end the faculty with the least water collected from a bottle below the target wins.So easy :) Except that it's a huge field filled with hot blooded teenagers determined to rip the guts out of their opponents if necessary to win.Have I mentioned that we outnumber the teachers and councillors? So despite whatever you may hear about safety and rule enforcement, it is all a farce.Free for all baby.

Yup.It was incredibly fun :D We were supposed to ally with Athena but they backstabbed us in the second half and Apollo ended up getting gangbanged by everybody for the second year in a row.And Athena won.But you know why?It's becuase they suck.Everyone knows Apollo rocks and is super strong so they all want to attack us leaving the loser fac alone.Hah.But I gave them a run for their money.Today was probably the only time I'll ever get to do a full frontal bodily attack with no disciplinary repurcussions.Ares attacked us right from the start (big surprise there) and I tackled at least 8 people and nearly got sent off the field :P The best ones to attack are the guys who are running towards you because they think you'll back off what with all the kinetic energy,mass and inertia and you just stand your ground/chase after them and grab them from behind/run straight back at them with head tucked and WHAM.Pull them to the ground and smash their water bomb.They never knew what hit them :) And they always assume that just because you're a girl you're gonna let them go.Hah.No chance buddy.Note that running straight into someone who's runnig straight back at me is not something I usually do but there's something in the atmosphere of the war games that makes you delirious with passion,energy and bravery.In fact,all the Apollo girls were great.They held such a strong,united 2 barrier fort that some Ares guys were complaining about how violent the girls were.Ah getting all high again.And it's really nice when you tackle someone and you're having trouble grappling with them and all the other Apollonians swarm to help you.Teamwork at its greatest :D

And of course in wars,there are casualties.I split my toenail :( It didn't really hurt but it felt uncomfortable so I looked down and saw it was bleeding.Bleh.Nail injuries are the grossest kind but I was not of sound mind then so I just ignored it and went on being loco.Eh.Not to mention I must have made a few enemies today.In my adrenaline pumped state of mind,I remember physically attacking some of my close Aresian friends and then tossing their burst bomb in their faces with a wild victory cry and not too polite gestures.So I must apologise.I shall apologise here, and I shall apologise to them when I see them in school on monday.I'M SORRY MARISSA AND ELAINE AND SOME PEOPLE I CAN'T REMEMBER.I WAS NUTTY.

Okok and I take back what I said about Athena.I think they've got a very good batch this year (though I still firmly believe that the reason they won wasn't really due to their defending skills).But they don't suck.We're all still Hwa Chong after all.GO HWACHONG.AND APOLLO.


man.haven't updated for ages.orientation just zaps the life force out of you.not that it's a bad thing.it's just so excruciatingly exhausting.

so.no more og12.it's 08A14 now.oh and i changed my combi from KI to math.didn't want to have to write essays to within an inch of my life.H2 math.geez.never in the world would i have believed.so anyway.08A14.they're hmm.interesting?er.unique?definitely noisy as hell.sometimes they give me a headache.but i'm getting to know some of the quieter ones a little better.there's this nice guy called junjie who seems a little that way if you know what i mean.he told the class he likes to watch america's next top model 0.0 but he's very sweet and approachable.some other les talkative people also gravitate towards the quiet group.there's an indian girl caled jasleen from rgs who looks very smart.and i'm getting to know the nanyang geepers a little better.

my form teach is mr miles who's super tall and thin and apparently the best HP teacher around.we'll see.


yay.school :)

it's much funner than i expected.i think i like hwa chong very much :) i think.the work and stuff hasn't come yet.my OG's quite ok too.all nice people,mostly hwa chong and nanyang so i feel a bit more comfortable.then again which group isn't.we played games today and we all got down and dirty.had grass stains all over the front of my shirt and shorts and after the last game i was soaking wet.i usually can't stand getting wet and dirty if i can't get home and change immediately but everyone was so enthusiastic and the games were so fun that it didn't matter :D they want to go for dinner tomorrow.eh.i don't think i'm that attatched to them yet.

oh yeah and i got into HP.hehe.i'm happy :)


school.tomorrow.GAAH.

feeling a bit uncomfortable about school.i think i got too comfortable in nanyang.i'm going to miss everything so much :( the canteen the classrooms the library.just looking at my nanyang library card makes me sad D: and the teachers too.mrs seah mrs westvik mrs chew.ah.where would i ever find such a patient dedicated math teacher as mrs chew.i'll probably give my new one an aneurysm.and knowing where everything and everyone is.i should probably have started feeling like this last october.blah.

orientation.the thought of it is so o.o i just dont like meeting new people.and there isn't anyone i'm close to in my orientation group.argh.school.ARGH.

When I hear my favorite song
I know where we belong
Oh you are the music in me
It's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
You are the music in me
