i finally went for fencing lessons. i think i have told most of you pple before that i was crazy over fencing last year and i wanted to go to rj super badly coz i wanted to fence. it was a painful decision to give up rj for hci. it was excruciating i tell you. it was so bad that i had insomnia.
anyway, i went for fencing lessons yesterday and today. fencing isn't as great as i thought it would be, but i still think it's a cool sport.
yesterday wasn't very good i suppose. i wasn't very keen on going for fencing coz i knew i was going to be super sian. i thought that huiwen would be with juli and abandon me, but i guess i was thinking too much, huiwen and juli rock! i feel so happy to be their friend. haha. but i really regret not reminding anna, zhouhao and kevin to sign up for fencing in time. if not it would have been so much more fun! met kityeng's primary school classmate there, timothy. his voice is super high, just like a girl. it's hard to believe that he is some super pro wushu guy. but he ponned today coz he overslept. and there was this other guy who didn't come also. these pple should have gave up their places to others!! argh!
anyway, i managed to make some new friends today so it wasn't all that bad. people kinda opened up and it was cool. i met dianmin (daryl's pri school classmate) and mong (bean and daryl's sec school classmate). this world is really small. haha. hobbit was there also! found out that his name is actually david and he is a super nice and cute guy.
today was slack slack slack i tell you. REALLY slack. went there, did some practises, then we had a 45 min free and easy so that you can practise any move you like, but most of us ended up just sitting down and slacking. then following that was a one hour lunch break. haha. SLACK. after lunch, we started to do foil duelling. my partner was dian min. i was leading at first, but i kinda lost my round by one point in the end. wasted. super wasted. then when i did epee with rachel, i won 5-2. =D perhaps, i am better at epee. spent most of our time watching my other team members fence and stuffing myself with unhealthy snacks at the same time. the instructor gave us this box that was filled with kitkat, snickers, assorted biscuits, disgestives, different flavoured potato chips. so we just munched and watched at the same time. then after one round of duelling, it was break time. haha. we had hamjingpeng and sparkling juice. XP then the rest of the time we just tried epee; it was optional, so some pple just slacked and sat there. haha.
juli's pri school classmate tan wen was also at fencing. he is one funny(in a bad way) person. juli despises him like mad. but seriously la, his stance is DAMN COMICAL! hahaha, he looks like he's singing some beijing opera or something and he thinks it's the correct stance! hahahaha. but frankly speaking, he's a good fencer. when he duelled with the instructor, he only lost 7-10. the instructor said he is a talented epee fencer. i agree. haha.
actually, after my 2 days fencing, i realised that you don't even need to know the basic fencing moves to fence. during my fencing duels today, i didn't even use any of the moves i learnt yesterday. all i did was just lunge forward and poke my opponent with the sword. haha.
there's paintball tomorrow and i know of 3 other fencing pple who are also doing it tmr. haha.

second entry today. was thinking about my previous post. decided that it wasn't entirely their fault after all since they told us what was going on in the end. despite the reluctance, they told us probably because they respected us as their friend. to those who still don't know what's going on, i really wish to tell you what's going on, but probably you wouldn't bother to want to know it.
i was thinking. the reason why anna and i got so pissed off this afternoon was probably because we were bored? nah, that's a lame reason. well, the reason isn't important any longer.
i was planning to be pissed with those people. but now, i don't feel any anger or disastisfaction; it was just a passing emotion. i shall just be more cautious in the future, i already know who i can tell things to and who i can't. things have come to surface.
*********
something's going on in class and i don't have the liberty to explain what's going on. all i can say is that anna and i aren't happy about it. it's a totally lame trap. not everyone knows about it and that's the dumbest part. so much for what we thought was friendship; but now it's come to light that it probably was just mere acquantinceship. to come clean here, we are offended. oooh, some may say we are petty, but if you put yourself into our shoes, how will you feel? we have given you so much trust, telling you things whenever you asked, but is that how you reciprocate our trust? i don't think so. i felt like a beggar.
for people who don't understand what i am talking about, the day you find out, i am sure you will feel this way too. cheated. made use of. unhappy. things aren't going to turn out good, it's obvious isn't it? things are going to turn nasty, maybe not on the surface, but underneath, who knows that's going on?
possibly at this point in time, you might not understand what is pissing anna and i off so much. then don't bother to ask, coz it's time we decide to not say.
but really, since things have come thus far, heck about us and continue what you were planning to do. i await to see the predictable results.

woke up feeling quite rejuvenated and fresh today. i was supposed to take a nap at 8pm last night, but when i woke up, i realised it was 6am this morning. -_-" i realised that i haven't touched any of my homework at all, neither did i go online to do the group project proposal as i was supposed to. crap. so i had to turn on my comp and start downloading the chem answers from IVLE; but guess what? i reaslised that i didn't have adobe reader, so i had to spend another 15 mins downloading it. thankfully i wasn't late for school, but OAG didn't even go through the tutorial today. sigh.
today was a super slack day, instead of having three consecutive chem tutorials, OAG was blur, so she let us off one period early!! OAG rocks (for once)!! ended up hiding in the fishtank playing bridge with kityeng, zhouhao and kevin. was having a relatively great time until chaoqun had to come and spoil everything. deliberately lost the last game so that i could leave.
math lec was super super slack, only copied 4 questions and spent the rest of the time listening to yeow's lame jokes and riddles. yeow bc ROCKS! lolz.
took the bus down to toa payoh stadium to support the basketball guys and girls finals. the girls match was first and we were against vjc. from the start of the game, we were already paved our definite path to victory. if i remember correctly, by the end of the second quarter, we already had 30+ points while VJC merely made it pass the 2-digit figure. hahaha. all of us were damn high coz we were just waiting for our basketball girls to triple their score! hahaha. obviously, we won. XP
the next match was the guys match against TJC. we were against what i thought was mud-green, but wen corrected me and told me that algae-green was more apt; i can't agree any further. algae-green it is. they manifested toa payoh stadium and competed with us for the already lacking oxygen that was present in the stadium. i must must say this: their cheers are SOOO cliche! like seriouosly, they just kept repeating 'let's go tj! and the lousy dynamite cheer. how lame. i am not saying that hwachong's cheers are much better, but at least we have SOME originality to give credit for.
by now, from the tone that i am using, i am sure that you have guessed the outcome of the guy's match. yes. we lost. we should have won. we really should have. TJC SUCKS! tchs guys - there's HOPE for you coz i finally found pple who are totally totally ungentlemanly at all. once the guy's match ended, i had to rush back with yinghong to school to attend some business talk(i was one hour late), so obviously we decided to take a cab. but guess what? some idiotic TJ guys decided to stand in front of us to hail the damn cab. i feel like stoning them and all of the TJ freaks. anyway, the point is, they STOLE OUR CAB RIGHT BEFORE OUR NOSES. idiots. we were desperate, so we tried to ask them if we could have the cab, but guess what again? they said "sorry, we are in a rush too" it was a blatant and incredibly obvious lie. what was the worst part? they had 5 pple, so in the end, they decided to abandon one person and the rest of the 4 took the cab and drove off. I HATE TJC. what idiots. argh.
anyway, rushed back to school and attended a cool business talk. hmm. it was 'relatively' cool la.
had dinner and went to watch the drama performance. it was spectacular i must say. witty use of puns, sarcasm and timing to escalate to the climax. the concept of the performance was very simple, but the language, script and acting was first class. hilariously witty. it really was a super clever performance. it would have been better if the guys behind me didn't have smelly shoes that seem as though they just stepped on dog poo.
met up with kyna after an incredibly long time. super super long time. crap, still haven't seen charles.
i am super tired now. was cheering my guts out during the match today.
*********

i had a really hectic week. it's finally over, and it did end on quite a high note, so i feel quite good. haha. the previous friday was friday the 13th. it was definitely unlucky - chem spa, bio spa and math lecture test all in one day. i remember by the time mrs cheng announced that time was up for bio spa, i felt so relieved that the horrible week was finally over. no doubt i made some really dumb mistakes for all the test, especially for chem spa, but it's over. sigh.
anyway, went for body language after bio spa to support birong, germaine and sam. it was not bad, cucumbers was really good, glad i voted for them. haha. went to KAP for dinner then went to hang out at zhouhao's house with the rest.
on saturday morning, i was desperate to go out, so i ended up coming online to beg pple to go out with me. quite lame. haha, but i managed to go out anyway. i won't say it was fun or whatever but at least i managed to go out. thanks to kevin, beanie, kityeng and daryl who were nice enough to come out to accompany me. we kinda wasted our time loitering at orchard aimlessly since all of them were broke, but it was ok. i wasn't in much of a mood to spend anyway. we watched kingdom of heaven at cine. i seriously don't see why so many pple say it's so good. it was simply so-so, and should i want to be a little more sarcastic, let me emphasise the word 'little', i would say it was a bad movie. it really was. it was just war war war. at the end of the show, we were asking each other what was the aim of the movie. i really have no idea. ooh, guess what? kingdom of heaven was my first NC-16 movie! finally! hahaha, i have watched my first NC-16 movie!! hmm, the ticket counter didn't even ask for my ID when i bought the tickets. haha, i think i can pass off for an 18 year old if i want to. cool!
hmm, after the movie, i decided to invite them over to my place. kevin couldn't make it coz he accidentally pissed his parents off. he was damn gek lah. hahaha. too bad kev, i won't be organising another one in a looooong time. we didn't do much at my house coz everyone was quite tired; a few games of bridge, mahjong, playing with my msn winks, listening to mp3s, thinking of ways to ostracise gavin and chaoqun and a failed attempt to talk about our future.
uber glad chaoqun didn't come out with us on sat despite showing much interest in doing so.
had swensons in sun afternoon, then went out again to orchard. went to my grandma's house for dinner. had really good food coz my grandfather was sick of my grandma's cooking and decided to call shin to give him a lift to ah or(dunno how to spell) to buy good food for us. my grandma wasn't very happy of course. i could feel the uneasiness during dinner. saw shin's sports car! damn nice! shin was damn nice, being so friendly and all. lol. he ate A LOT. just cleared almost all the food on the table and my grandma was happily offering him all the food. haha.
woke up with a headache this morning, popped a panadol and went to school today feeling damn groggy and tired. fell asleep during most of the lectures, but caught myself before i really dozed off. my headache started coming back during math tutorial. sucked. couldn't keep my eyes opened most of the time. once LK's lesson ended, i came back home and slept for 3 hours. i feel so rejuvenated now. shall sleep early again tonight! i love to sleep!

i was quite depressed after watching the demoralising softball match just now. hci lost to vjc. it was really a tragic loss especially when we were supposed to win. i don't think it was over-confidence, but more of stress level that that poor pitchers were suffering from. they were completely off form. they played like amateurs; it was that bad. they gave uncountable free walks to the opposing team. i sympathise with them. i don't blame them because i know pitching isn't easy. i have pitched before and i totally sucked at it, it's even more difficult than batting. at the end of the whole game, i saw the pitcher reproaching himself very badly; he teared. i felt a sense of helplessness, i am sure he felt it too. i have seen him pitch before in our previous match against jurong jc, he was GOOD, real good!
throughout the game, i sat on the second floor and had a panoramic view of the field, hci wasn't in their top condition today, it was simply one of those days when things didn't go our way. vjc won by luck. i am sure of it. if the match had been held as scheduled last wednesday, i am positive they would have returned home victorious, there is no doubt about it.
anna told me just now that both our pitchers were damn stressed and they didn't want to go up to the field. i mean, the whole school was there and expecting a win from them, and naturally, they didn't want to disappoint us. but, it's ok really, just do your best. i feel like going up to them and giving them a pat on their shoulder to tell them that they rock.
vjc sucks. we lost to them(both guys and girls softball team). what's worse? we lost in our very own school compound. i don't like vjc. the girls were damn irritating. bleh.
*********
stupid stupid stupid firefox update. i just lost a SUPPPPPPER loong entry!! but i shall attempt to rewrite everything.
today was hci sports day and was really lame coz it's a combined sports meet for hci, tchs and nygh. lame. in the morning when i strolled towards the school compound, i saw mass of annoying white at the bus stop - ny girls. they seemed like they were magnestised to the bus stop coz they all refused to budge. sheesh. they were all clumped there in small lumps. -_-" i am anti-nanyang. so is anna. we both don't like nanyang. irritating pple. i know they are shy and coy to blatantly enter tchs(their traditional lover school), but still, for the sake of anti-ny pple like me and anna, just enter! tchs guys don't eat pple.
when i reached, none of the s72 pple had arrived yet, so i just stoned there. little tchs guys had naively sat on the seats that were allocated to the college section. haha. anyway, we managed to find really good seats initially; safe away from the sun and we had perfect view of the whole track. but the councillors had to come and insist that we move into the sun to show our enthusiasm. if dawei wasn't fac head and didn't want to run for fac exco, i wouldn't have given them a damn, i probably wouldn't even had gone anyway. sigh. kevin woke up at 8am, but rushed down coz beanie lied that the whole class was here and valles was sitting just next to us. haha. hmm, at 8am, we were already soaking in the digusting UV rays.
shortly after sports day commenced, gavin, anna, kityeng, rachel and i sneaked up to some aircon tchs classroom and started playing a few rounds of bridge. shiok. haha. but we went back soon coz we decided that we should show some enthu-ness. this year, sports day wasn't that bad coz the councillors gave us ratten fans! smart smart smart! i took 2 fans; one to block the sun and the other to fan myself. haha. now now, don't give me an evil look coz both rachel and kevin took 2 fans too. tai tai club mah, can't help it.
slack and smart s72 decided to leave early before the sports meet ended to beat the crowd, so went to KAP for brunch. i had big breakfast. LOVE IT! i finally remember why i always ordered that when i was young. it is simply the best. when i sank my teeth into my burger that was spread with grape jam, memories rushed back. big breakfast is simply the best i tell you, it really is.
then kityeng, weijin, beanie, chaoqun and i headed down to orchard with our minds set to watch a movie. but coz we were unable to decide on a film, we went to kbox instead. it was GREAT FUN! haha. addicted. got to sing some songs, but in the end, due to time constraint, i had to skip most of the songs i wanted to sing coz nobody else seemed to know the songs that i chose. so sad. but it's ok, coz i had fun. some new discoveries i made today: chaoqun can sing damn well and both chaoqun and weijin are jigopeks(perverts)
reasons why they are jigopeks:
1)when they sang tuodiao(remove your clothes) by dudewei, they were damn high and excited, both singing with much gusto and zest! i tell you, they loved that song!
2)they admitted that they have read fhm and maxim before and are totally unabashed to tell me and kityeng that they did.
3)when we watched the mtvs at kbox, they kept talking about which girl was chio instead of concentrating on the lyrics. and even when we were just strolling at orchard, they also kept talking about chio girls.
so both of them are now the official jigopeks in our class and they have even formed the jigopeks club! ewww! they tried to lure beanie into their evil cluthes, but thank goodness, beanie is guai and clean. keep it up beanie!! i hope their membership stops at 2... if not s72 will be damn sick la.
anyway, hanged around a little longer to buy my mother's day present. i had no idea it was tomorrow until gavin mentioned about getting his mum a present. but i like my present a lot! it's really cute and nice! XP speaking of my present, i am damn gek! i had to develop a photo from my phone, so i went to the photograph shop at j8. i had to use some machine to get my photo instantly developed and there was only one pathetic machine in that shop and it was occupied. the pple using it were developing 51 photos!! -__-" i almost fainted when i saw the screen. 51 photos!! i queued for half an hour to develop one measly photograph! sheesh! if you have 51 photos to develop, obviously you ask the counter pple to do it for you right?? USE YOUR BRAIN! fortunately, during my wait, i was chatting with the polaraid salesgirl. she is REALLY DAMN NICE~
anyway, when it was -finally- my turn, i realised that my phone couldn't send the photo the machine via infra-red. i almost died. but luckily, the nice salesgirl whom i was talking to offered to help me. so i sent the pic to her via mms and she used bluetooth to send the pic to the machine. SHE IS SO NICE~ really really really want to thank her!!
went to my grandparent's house for dinner. love my grandma's cooking! especially her birthday eggs! LOVE IT TO bits!! haha. spent the rest of my time there helping my grandfather and mum decide which maid my grandparents should hire. my aunt had gotten 4 bio-datas from the maid agency and i tell you, they all sucked. they failed in either looks, height, weight, language etc. just a little background info: i used to live with my grandparents until i was 13, and during my stay there, my mum had changed 14 maids, of which 2 ran away. we should enter the guinness records! haha. anyway, it's probably because my grandma is very fussy and particular about stuff and a little racist. don't get the wrong idea though! she's a GOOD AND NICE, just that she had high expectations from the maid. it was quite funny just now during dinner. you see, my grandfather likes their current maid, but only agreed to change coz my grandma threatened to move to the old folk's home if they insist on keeping the maid. so usually, he gives the maid good food, much to my grandma's distaste, so just now when my grandfather pointed at fishcake and asked what it was, my grandma snapped 'abalone' and walked into the kitchen. haha.
anyway, my grandma was kinda throwing tantrums coz she refused to help in choosing the maid, then my grandfather said softly to me 'some pple, you can discuss matters with, but some pple you just can't coz they refuse to listen', then he looked sharply at my grandma's direction and pointed discreetly to her. hahahahaha! he has such a killer sense of humour!
and guess what?? my mum is going to hire my grandparent's current maid!! finally! after 6 months of dirty floors and disgusting dinners, i can live normally again. but my mum said that the earliest earliest time she can come to my house is 2 weeks. i think it will definitely take longer than that coz my mum said that there are alot of admin stuff to be sorted out. hope they can clear it soon! can't wait for my maid to come! she's really nice! meticulous, caring and humble! i think she will be an excellent maid! i will be very nice to her! XP
then when she comes over, i can hold sleepovers at my house! haha. no need to worry about clearing the mess the next day anymore. yay!
i am all excited now! my fingers ache from typing so much
*********
finally, after three weeks of procrastination(with vliad reasons!), i went to AWWA for the first time in my life today. it's completely different from what i had in mind; i was kinda expecting some aircon place with many rooms inside. but it turned out that it was this dilapidated old primary school that was inconveniently located in the middle of a housing estate in macpherson.
i was assigned to the one of the older classes; teacher gurmit was very nice and approachable., always giving me and wonky tips along the way. i was hoping to be assigned to one of the younger classes coz the kids there are so much cuter, but i decided that this class is quite good too.
the class is quite small, only about 10 children or so in the class. the children there weren't perfect since they were handicapped in one way or another, however, they still seem like a happy bunch of people who love life.
as i entered their little world when teacher gurmit resumed her lessons, i felt so different. for the past 4 months in hci, it had been nothing but nerve-wrecking tutorials and boring lectures. the teachers/tutors don't really bother about your welfare as much as they claim they do, they only care if you have done your homework and fare in your tests. fullstop. they don't ask anything else about your social life. wait. it's not just from the start of hci, let me look deeper into schooling life - this probably started from primary 5 or 6. this society is so achievement-driven.
in awwa, it was different, the children's needs are really catered to and they get full attention. they seem to have no worries despite their hopelessly bleak future. they aren't concerned that they are only reading 3 word sentences when they are already over 13 years old, they just smile and embrace life. teacher gurmit is right, these kids do inspire people.
the children there are really nice kids and they are actually normal human beings just you and me. we had sex education today and when teacher gurmit started talking about crushes and kisses, they got all excited and the energy level of the class shot up. they all seemed to have crushes of their own. teacher gurmit was super cheeky and asked wonky and i if we have boyfriends. haha. the kids didn't quite believe that i don't have one, i really am a good girl. XP probably not getting one in jc, not that i am allowed to anyway. my mum keeps dropping hints to me almost every alternate day that i should not get a boyfriend. haha. life is good even without one now. ;)
there was this slight erm, accident that happened during my awwa trip today. this boy in class called ah kim flashed in the middle of the lesson. you didn't read wrongly, he flashed. teacher gurmit got damn pissed and started scolding him like mad. apparently, he had a previous record of flashing along the corridor. freaky.
anyway, awwa had been good. but it would be better if i can find a shorter route home. i had to change a bus, cross 2 overhead bridges and walk the long route home. it was damn tiring to get home.
mrs tan came in to relief OAG today for chem. i felt so enlightened after her lesson; it's the first time since i entered jc that i actually felt that there is hope for my chem. mrs tan taught with so much concision and clarity VS OAG preaching about nonsense and labelling us 'stupid' and 'dumb' without even answering the tutorial questions/getting confused with her own answers. gavin suggested petitioning against OAG after chem tutorial today - exactly what i have in mind. either that or we can ask our parents to write loads of complain letters. someone once told me that the students are the fundaments of the school admin. when students complain to their parents, their parents will complain to the school admin, and the school admin will push the blame to the teachers. however, it's ironic coz if us students directly voice our opinions to the school admin, chances of them listening to our woes is negative. but if we ask our parents to complain, it's a totally different matter. i shall ask my mum later if she is willing to complain. but i think she will only complain if other parents complain as well, after all, unity is strength. so what do you think s72, shall we do mass complaining?? *pleads*
