the second hell.
Yesterday was probably the most miserable day in my life. the MOST demoralising, distressing, horrible, sad sad sad day in my whole entire life. because there was GB.But then why isn't EVERY GB day the most miserable day in my life? of course DUH every GB session is really tormenting but yesterday was the final straw. I'm not quite sure why... But everything that happened at GB yesterday seemed to replay ceaselessly in my mind, like some tape player. HORRIBLE...
It was after school and I was dreading GB more and more each minute passed. After taking my lunch, I stormed into the classroom where Deb, nads, jenny, liyana, diyanah and dee were doing Service Learning. this is the scenario.
Me:Oh my bloody shucks. I have to go for that revolting GB photo-taking... honestly lah it sucks to the core lah.
Nads:yeah i so agree man! gb sucks coz it's not NCC.
Me: (pissed off and stares helplessly at liangzi.) And I have to go to the world's suckiest CCA in the world's suckiest uniform. (turns to look at liangzi) Believe me, I look like a complete fool in the uniform. you just wait and see.
TOOT. I grabbed my crumpled uniform and went to the toilet. DOUBLE TOOT. sujin and mich (frm GB) were in the toilet. anyway i bitched about gb in the nicest way i could so i wouldnt offend them. Especially sujin, but she's used to my daily bitching. sujin is something like the most loyal to GB. it's pissing for me to see someone so loyal to GB, and it's infuriating for her to see me plotting schemes that show my disloyalty to GB. and for bitching about every little detail about it every day, when i have the chance. I refused to look at myself in the mirror when I'd changed, and dashed back to class, hoping that NO ONE would see me in the revolting and embarrassing suit. I stormed back to class again, and let yunxi fuss over my uniform. She and sujin were going, "WHAT?! you didnt bring your boots?" or "WHAT you don't know how to wear the uniform?" and finally, "WHAT?!!!! YOU DIDN'T BRING YOUR TIE?" and my answer would always be the same. "I don't know and I don't care." short and sweet. Funny how unloyal i can be towards a CCA, especially when I was Red Swastika School's most ENTHUSIASTIC and DEDICATED member in my CCA. well, that's different, since it's a music CCA, all the more I should be loyal to it.
But GB? MY FOOT. i shall never be loyal to it. i want to be loyal to God but i never want to be loyal to such a cca like GB. So I didn't bring my tie; yunxi and sujin were scandalised. I grinned stupidly and told the coolly for the umpteenth time that i didn't care one bit. But when it was time to go for the stupid photo taking, I don't know what got into me, but I was so upset that i actually HUGGED dee and jenny. and i felt like crying but i decided not to. it was not the time. Met sally wong on the way. i explained that someone had stolen my tie and sallywong told me to change into my RGS sch uniform instead. I was kind of happy coz i didn't have to parade around in a goofy uniform. I changed and went out to the foyer to meet the GB people. I told the teachers that I didn't want to take a photograph, but they insisted that I take with the whole company, although my pinafore would definitely stand out in the picture. Grumpily I dragged myself to the foyer and took the photo. But i didn't smile, i forced a very slanted and unhappy-looking smile. For the informal shots, i pulled a super long face. huh. i wished i were never there.
Then I returned to class to put back my bottle and GB cap, which i was clenching tightly in my fists. i was super angry. dunno why. just felt pissed and angry. The moment i got back to class, i threw the cap onto the ground and stepped over it hatefully. Then leaving it on the floor, i gulped down some water and went for SQUAD MEETING. oh no.
The squads assembled in the shared classroom first. I watched everyone sadly and was slumped against the table. I received the GB Camp consent form. I wanted to curse so badly but instead i said oh my frickin ha. self control, self control... I felt like shredding the consent form and throw it into the dustbin. Then my squad left for a meeting in the canteen. -_- i met irmelia on the way and I looked so miserable when i told her I was pissed. because of CCA. We both did the Liangzi Handsign, which was a little comforting, and i went off with the rest. At the canteen, I spotted liangzi having lunch at the other side of the canteen. I was so comforted by her appearance that i called out to her and she waved at me... :) It felt a little comforting with her around but when she left, it was back to being sad... It's not like i don't try to make GB seem fun and enjoyable. I tried. but i can't. I feel like a traitor to Chinese Orchestra and all the music CCAs in the world when i enjoy GB. I feel like a traitor towards Guzheng too. it's a natural feeling if you're a die-hard music CCA enthusiast.
And during the meeting... I stared at everyone. their faces. their look of satisfaction. their enjoyment. they enjoy GB. and me? distaste... contempt... everything just went into my head and before i knew it i was actually CRYING. oh my gawsh. i cried. something i havent done for some time. but fortunately no one noticed. but the tears were rolling fast and they were... tears... that should have been shed long ago, tears that should have been shed every GB session... tears of hate and anger and misery and contempt. all these feelings mixed together to form a mental breakdown at that moment. I've given GB too many chances. and this is the final straw. Tomorrow i'm gonna find MR LOh and gillian from CO and beg them to let me join. yes i will beg them, even if it means that i'll have to go down on my knees. Anything to get music back.
.......
.......
that's it. i've had enough.
i cried. for the first time this year.
oh no. there are HAPPY and SAD and DISTURBING events that took place over the past few days. and i am faithfully sticking to my blog-thrice-a-week rule. good little me. :DHAPPY. Dee just created the official website for the Liangzified Liangzinatic Liangzi Fan Club. so happy! It's so wonderful and everyone from 102 is tagging and blogging in it... yes, including Liangzi too. I improved by 6 marks for the English Formative! whee!
HAPPIEST: Last week, for english, we had to play this game which was sort of like Cluedo. and fizzie, liangzi and i simply bluffed out way through the whole game by guessing out (and also using logic) the murderer. Snoopy said that he'd give the winning group a prize. And... yesterday, snoopy came into the class with this bright pink frilly bag which contained some shiny red objects in it. we were laughing like mad coz we thought that snoopy decided to be gay and carry a PINK bag. Then after we greeted him he walked to liangzi, fizzie and me and gave us the pink bag. "The murderer is Topless," said snoopy flatly and the three of us were so happy coz we'd won the game... even after bluffing our way through. Ah. Must thank Liangzi. She was the one who thought of miss Topless. we yanked the bag open and found many little chocs inside. There were about four heart-shaped chocs in shiny red aluminium foil, and a few other round chocs. I didnt really care about the chocs, i just wanted the bag! heeheehee... so in the end I gave liangzi the credit for our victory and gave her my choc. EXCEPT the heart-shaped one. and the bag. haha... This morning I found that little bag at the foot of my bed. i wonder what it's doing all the way down there. ^-^
Today was super fun. I LOVE CHEM! val soh and i heated up this yellowish solution until it became colourless, then after cooling it for approximately forty minutes, we found little yellow glittering bits in the solution. The whole thing looked like an odd concoction of glitter glue and diluted lemon juice. We got to keep the solution in a little bottle. Hah it's now atop my piano... Maths was BORING. of course. except that hameilan came up with some new gestures. And nods as well. Geog. We talked about POKEMON!! com studs was fun too coz the whole class went to the new Liangzi webby and flooded the tagboard. And we asked the com studs teacher to visit that webby too. He did... and it was hilarious. HILarious.
English was the BEST coz i got back the Formative assessment. It's a comprehension passage about pipa TOADS. (hint hint the toad looks like HML) I am so going to wallop kayleigh for rocking me up and down on my chair. Then snoopy asked someone to volunteer to BEND DOWN so that he could explain the definition of CROUCH. The whole class was like, "VALTEO!!!" and liangzi said i turned PINK. or RED? dunno lah. haha. snoopy left his philo stuff in my class so shortly after he departed, he rushed back in and was kind of stupefied to see me dancing around the classroom holding his philo stuff. oh no wrong thing at the wrong time again.
Lit. I have to admit, mr connolly DOES rock. in his own special way. I was particularly restless during his lesson today, so he suddenly asked amira and I to wait outside the classroom until he told us to go in. Haha i made a fool out of myself today. Ah. connolly told me a meaningless sentence in front of the class and i started nodding. like the toad! HA HA HA!
I spotted Miss Ha walking towards me."
OMFH we all laughed so hard and I laughed so hard that I fell of my chair. Then he handed fiona the slip of paper on which he'd written what fiona would writing about, using his "mind reading skills". fiona didnt open it first. Connolly then went on to read jingwei's, which was even funnier.
"As I was walking down the road one day,
I saw a toad nodding its head at me."
OMFH we laughed even harder. Connolly thought it was ridiculous that a toad could actually NOD. (

wah
OMG! yesterday was so fun! fang and i went to agogo's house to play and SLACK. -_-"Too bad leng couldn't go or else we'd have even more fun! We had this delectable seafood pizza and I had to pull out the sotongs bcoz i was allergic to them. Then agogo's mom and dad were so nice... We were stupidly fanning each other with cans and plates and my HANDPHONE?! then we fought over chicken wings and in the end i had to eat the darned chicken. Agogo if i DO put on 1 more kilogram i'm going to strangle you. haha. Agogo and fang watched kung fu hustle while i was busy flipping through all the past issues of i weekly. I'm an i weekly addict. Totally obsessed with i weekly. heheh actually bcoz was frantically searching for 5566 photos. I found SO MANY! wheeee! We went to agogo's room and listened to dunno how many million songs? And imitated The One Who Understands Susu The Most (banana ppl u noe who i am referring to!). Yeah then we kua zhang when we were singing My Lucky Charm and we were laughing manically... And we played this disc-shooting game. The concept was something similar to billiard. OH YEAH i saw shao wei in the cyndi wang's Ai Ni MV!!! He was like, "yo yo yo Cyndi! What's wrong with me?!" then I screamed hysterically. HAHAHA. yesterday WAS fun. whooo... ^-^
Today. After church we went to Vi'lage (some restaurant in China Sq) for lunch. oh my frickin ha the food there was super nice and it was really similar to the Movenpick restaurant in the heeren... I didnt take dinner coz i'm still full... had fish, wedges, ice cream, waffle, crepe, salmon, hot chocolate and TEH TARIK. i love teh! hmmm i think i overate... Coz I had diarrhoea when i got home (and still havin' it). next time agogo remind me to eat only the waffle. haha.... We met emily (one GEPer from GB) at the acts christian book room... some more she met me when agogo and I were chasing each other up and down the travellator. How embarrassing!!!!!
The rest of the long long day... I read da vinci code (IT RULEZ!) and did my stupid geog brochure which actually turned out pretty nice! wheee...
I gotta go take a bath now... yay yay yay i finished the B R O C H U R E!
no one's gonna make me stay there. it is a nightmare... i want to get out of this mess. i want to be free from it. i want to be the sectional leader for CO!!

words that sting. hard.
I got a Gold for PFT this time. I am currently rejoicing and driving my mom crazy. speaking of mom. Sometimes, or rather, most of the time, the best advice comes from experienced adults. Just like mom... And sometimes, the words they say... the advice given.... it really stings. It stings into you, the pain coursing through your body as if it were a drug.Why? Why do things have to be this way? Sometimes I just want to blow. There are two main things that bother me: 1) my CCA. 2) my abilities.
I've never thought of my abilities from this perspective before. I was feeling rather pissed off by some MEP business today and stormed into the room grumbling. I knew from the start that I should never have done that. Mom and I had a heart-to-heart talk about music, and we eventually digressed into the topic of my abilities. The talents I possess. From young, I've never seen myself as a really talented person other than the fact that I read aloud a wordy story book when I was two. Probably it's the feeling of being in RGS. Everyone in MEP seems to be doing better than me; they all seem so gifted and musically inclined. Honestly... i feel small in MEP. But then again, another side of me tells me not to feel that way, since everyone is blessed with different talents... I explained that I'm a sort of rigid person when it comes to music. I love to master a few pieces over a few months before starting on any new ones.
"Well, a good musician is always capable of playing ANY song. They are flexible, they don't just stick with classical music," replied mom.
That string of words really stung me hard. My heart sank so deep into my body, as though it had sunk right into my stomach. This was, indeed, a fact. And also mom's favourite piece of advice.
WHY?! I questioned myself silently, hoping to dig out some answers from myself. What mom said was right. I didn't actually play hymns often, and I hardly touched that awful Richard Clayderman book which lay dust-covered in my shelf. Since I started learning piano when I was four, I stuck to this strong belief that CLASSICAL music comes first. I put it as my top priority on the "songs to practice" list. My ex piano teacher totally agreed with my belief too. Naturally I'm really obsessed with playing classical music. To me, other contemporary songs lacked style; they were too simple, because of the awkward absence of more difficult and challenging ornaments, arppegios and other rhythmic features. Hymns? I was introduced to hymns two years ago. I feel kind of guilty about the hymn part. True, I don't play hymns very often. I sink into the depths of classical music, oblivious to any other existing forms of music in the world. This is my greatest weakness in music. I am NOT flexible enough. Once a month I play the only contemporary song which I play willingly and happily- Yu Jian by stefanie sun... it IS a wonderful song, by the way... As for the hymns... I'll have to work on that.
"You don't play by hearing. Look at *** ****, **** and sister ***** (they're ppl frm my church). Why is it that they can play by hearing and you can't? **** can play by HEARING and she reads scores well too..."
Another horrible string of words that don't sting, they BITE. The sharp fangs and talons of these words pierced through my skin. they pierced through my bones. worst of all, they ripped my heart apart. Demoralising. This is another of my weakness, a weakness which many people possess too. I can't fully accept that there are people YOUNGER than me who are actually millions of times more talented than me. I can't whole-heartedly agree that **** who is much younger than me, can play by hearing AND read scores (which is what I am totally good at).
What the heck is my problem? My mom doesn't know my side of the story. I do play by hearing. It's just that I prefer to do it alone. I like to be solitary sometimes. You'd get used to it if you've been an only child for 13 years. Hmmmmm. Before I got the Yu Jian score (which is not ORIGINAL!), I used to make out all the chords and everything. Yu Jian is actually in A flat major, but the unoriginal score which i own is in G major. BLEH. So I had to transpose the whole thing up to A flat major by sight. I could go on and on and on with the songs i've played by hearing but that isn't really my point. I think I am a little too self-conscious when I play by hearing, and, in fear that I get a note wrong, I refuse to play with anyone around. Of course, that does not happen when I practise from scores. Yeah.
On the brighter side of things, I'm going to work on my talents- Science and English. and of course, music. But English is still my ultimate talent. English. You can't mug like mad for English, like committing all the Grammar and Vocabulary rules and good composition phrases to memory. The skills of using good English come naturally, when you learn by reading and inquiring when in doubt about anything. Exposure is also essential because if you're not given good exposure to speaking good english, you'll be at a disadvantage. Honestly... i'm not bragging or anything, but I've never had many english assessment books in my life. Usually I end up buying one at the beginning of the year and never get it done by the end of the year. hahaha.... For me, I just read and read and read and read and read... i love reading. muacks. I wish I could say the same for chinese, though. You don't want to hear about my sucky chinese. hee hee hee.
Science. For this one I mug and try to understand as much as possible. woohooo. I'm at a slight advantage coz mom's a super-duper science teacher. =D like mother, like daughter. okay just kidding.
..........
Watch out people. This octopus here is going to mug like siao. AAARGHH! I'm going to improve on my academic results and also my music. And at the end of the year, we'll see the results.
I may be quirky and delirious most of the time, but inside... is a web of more tangled complex feelings that are difficult to describe.
.......
but all the talents i possess... all the success.... the credit goes to God.

Hah. a poem abt MANY teachers frm RSS
I poisoned old SusanWith a large bag of carbon.
I ate my own toe
When i saw mrs felicia koh.
I can't tell the difference between miss wong
and mr mike chong.
I went to cut off my eyebrow
With mrs chow.
I bought a cheap old ring
for mr singh.
I pretend I can't see
mrs lorraine lee.
I go to the toilet to pee
but never met mr lee.
BUT! i did go to the toilet to pee
and INSTEAD met mdm lee.
I made octopus tea
And gave it to miss lee.
I ate my yo-yo
At the sight of miss yeo.
I became spastic (SIAO)
When i met miss LiaO.
I got nothing to show
to mrs charmaine low.
I shoot myself with a toy gun
When i see mrs cindy gan.
I skipped all the way to the loo
To get the autograph of mdm lu
I see all the ah bengs, ah lians and ah kow
Before i get to see miss b low
I choke on smoke
When yun leng mentions miss loke.
I say, "oh my gawsh wow!"
To mrs howe.
Aha, I hear a cow moo!
It must be mrs khoo!
And i think mrs tng
is nicer than sng.
I look at the sky, i don't see the moon.
Oh wait, i see mrs boon.
I associate Mama ling meng
with mrs lim ng.
omg omg! there goes mdm ong!
but where the blazes is mr ong?
I know only one ah gua
And i also know only one mr chua.
AAAAND! finally.... you'd think i'd forget mom, but i didn't!
I think that no one is more chio
Than mrs parry teo.
duh, she's my mom!
HAH tat's the end of the poem. PPL who want a WRITTEN and AUTOGRAPHED copy, please contact me asap.
Funny rite?

to the banana reepuhblick
hi guys... I really miss you so much, especially bao fang and leng leng!!! Btw we are having the next banana meeting next saturday, at yi ying's place. Haha yay we are finally going to yi ying's house to play! Let's rock the house down and drive yi ying's mommy crazy! For more details please call christina banana ng yun leng. :)After reading leng's post, all i can say is... HA HA HA!!!!!! Okie everyone let's all:
~get married on the same day (or month lah)
~get pregnant together
~customize our babies so that they will haf the same sex ( u can't do that with IVF, though)
~give birth around the same time
~raise our kids together (wah seh Banana education eh?)
~enrol our kids in the same school
~get our menopause at the same age
~have our hair turn white at the same age
~write our wills together
And eventually DIE together. Then our graves will be next to each other. haha... I would rather be buried than cremated, though the thought of having my body being eaten by maggots and flies is gruesome. But at least it should take a longer time to go to the choa chu kang cemeteries than to mandai crematorium. wah u see! this is called "Thinking for your future"...
I really really miss you all so so much that when i looked at our 6/1 class photo I started crying... Everything in school is great but school isn't the same without you. But at least we'll see each other real soon!
embarrassed.
OH NOOOO!!! I am so dead! i don't think I can ever, EVER face mr lim again. oh no!! I was doing the stupid thing at the stupid time!Today, there was philosophy and speech and drama. I was on my way to speech and drama with nadia while the other half of the class was settling down in the philo room with mr lim. Then... Nadia started talking to me about foot drills, and NCC. Then she went upstairs to the speech and drama room. I, however, wanted to wait for my friends so I stood at the foot of the stairs which were facing the philo room. And I allowed my innocent childish mind to associate NCC with rifles, then revolvers, which finally materialised in my head as big, powerful laser guns used by space fighters in combat. Stooopid me! Then I started making gunshot noises (which were thankfully not very audible), stretched out my hands and pretended that I was holding a laser gun. Then I spun around "shooting" everyone. I chased my friends up the stairs, screaming "I got you and now you're dead! BANG BANG BANG!" and other childish phrases... And EVERYONE in the philo room could see me shooting around, including mr lim. OH NO!!! I was shooting halfway when I caught a glimpse of mr lim rolling his eyes at me. NOOOO! i bet mr lim thinks i am a highly stooopid girl who can write unbelievably good but morbid compositions. THIS IS HIGHLY EMBARRASSING! I was so nervous during English later on. I was worried that mr lim would scold me or something but in the end, he didn't. Hmmm, I must learn NOT TO PLAY PRETEND on my way to speech and drama class. I have been playing pretend for many weeks, and two weeks ago I imagined myself as a pilot flying up the stairs, catching squirrels. Bah I hope mr lim didn't see me "flying" my "helicopter"...

OH YAY good news for meeeeee!
Aha! Jingwei just told me that Chinese Orchestra is scouting for new members!And they won't mind taking me in!! woohoo!!! i don't care what section i'll be in, as long as the CCA will be totally focused on music! Music rawks forever man! But I hope that I'll be able to get into something like erhu, pipa or yang qin! And I've been dying to play an erhu! I think erhu will sound awesome accompanied by a guzheng. WOW WOW WOW! This piece of news is sort of uplifting, now i see a ray of hope for me! everyone in banana gang are in music CCAs (yes, bao fang, choir is counted.) except for me! And it was vice versa in primary school! I went berserk after hearing the good news and I think I almost died. Okay, I think I will have to stage my death in front of willette and dorcas and ki wan and many others because I told them that if anyone offered me a place in Chinese Orchestra, I'd die of shock. I haven't been this happy for weeks. I think I'll go and talk to one of the girls in CO and see when I can go and join CO. And if the HOD for CCA doesn't let me go in, my mom has agreed to talk to her and I'll go see mrs deborah tan as a last resort. I so desperately want to be part of the CO family and if I still can't join CO, I'll go see the MEP teacher and beg her to let me join Strings. It's pretty fun there, but CO still rawks more. I prefer being on the more cheena side. I was told that if I join the percussion section in CO, I'd be guaranteed a place! Hmm, i think i shall do that, then next year i will change to guzheng! wowee I think I'll get jingwei to let me see the head of percussion tomorrow... I'm elated... excited... brimming with new-found joy... OH MAAAAAN THANK GOD THANK GOD THIS IS JUST TOO AWESOME!but first i hafta go face miss sally wong and give her my "resignation letter". she'll be strangling me for the rest of the year... HAHA! CO RULES!
ngyunleng.tanbaofang.gohyiying. I MISS U!!
wah seh i managed to get a high B for the 2.4km run yesterday. I saw liangzi and fiona lee may yi cheering me on at the side of the track, hollering, "Go octopus run! RUN! U got eight legs leh!!!" haha... THANKS LIANGZI. U ARE FOREVER THE PRETTY GAL OF 102. haha.Today i just heard the worst piece of news regarding teachers... Mr wolfe resigned, which means that I'll have a new history teacher in July. Mr EY lim is leaving too. I was told that he's a part-time teacher. URH?! Well annie and I have decided to pluck up the courage to go ask mr lim about his sudden departure tomorrow. NOOOOO! mr wolfe is a great teacher, i mean, he may be strict but he's still really funny. As for mr lim, i haven't got much to say lah. Except that he was the best english teacher i ever had(Well if u had an english teacher like susu sng u would prefer any teacher, regardless of the gender). OH MAN. two great teachers leaving spells disaster. We got a new chemistry teacher called miss Ang Gay Leng. I once misread her name as Miss Ng Yun Leng... haha.... Speaking of christina banana, rgs has begun selling banana milk and banana soda.
Thinking about GB tomorrow. Suddenly I feel sad, suddenly I feel like I want to pornteng GB!!! I really really want to find a music CCA as fast as I can! And that evil AHSian pok christina banana ng yun leng got into the FLUTE section in her school BAND!!!! omg i want to join!
Jingwei was originally in GB but she managed to get herself into Chinese Orchestra before a certain evil woman in rgs could get her. Unfortunately that sinister evil unkind woman got me and here I am in this sorry plight. Well not really sorry lah. Just a figure of speech. BAH! I will show the world next year man! I will show them that I am made of musical substance! I will make a comeback into the music scene in RGS and do so well for Chinese Orchestra! Long live CO!!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!
Woohoo today is mother's day! Happy mothers day mom!! =)omg I hope mom likes my present. just went to buy it yesterday with Dad. Only yesterday did i realise that Dad is super creative! haha... He cooked up some story for mom so that she wouldn't suspect that dad and i were going out to buy him a present. So we like drove all the way to Loyang, bought some hardware, then I pleaded Dad to drive to Old Changi Hospital to explore. and not surprsingly, he agreed. We got quite lost at first coz we were driving around some old chalets and the beach... it's really creepy when you imagine that many years ago, so many people were killed at that very spot you were standing on... Finally we figured out where the turning to OCH was and soon we drove up a steep hill into the OCH compound. Actually it's very well-hidden bcoz it is built behind many many tall trees... There was this small carpark at the top of the hill, and it was completely desolate. Right in front of the car park is this small building with the words "This is government property. Trespassers will be prosecuted." scribbled in very messy handwriting. And then there is this barrier made up of broken wood planks and large cement stumps. Dad and I had to climb over them. The weather was kind of chilly and as we walked into the compound, we managed to get a good view of everything- the mortuary, the wards, the secret chute which leads to the underground place, and of course, the half-naked security guard. He was sitting idly on a chair, with a newspaper laid out neatly in front of him. He seemed quite unperturbed by our presence, but he asked us what we were up to rather cautiously. My dad was super enthu about this, and he was telling the guard excitedly about how interested we were about the place and stuff like that. Hahaha. three cheers to dad. So the guard nodded his head and let us walk around the compound, but not inside any of the buildings. Dad was so brave. He climbed over a drain and stuck his head through the window of all the rooms, his eyes flitting around the wards... I was scared stiff so all i did was survey the place while staying rooted to the ground. I looked down and realised that i was standing on a spot where ambulances used to park at. Oh no oh no what if someone had died there?? Dad was itching to sneak into the building but i begged him not to go... haha... I was freaking out already. After about ten minutes, we walked back to the car and found this old, rugged flight of stairs which led right up to some hospital buildings. FREAKY! Dad wanted to climb up the stairs so so badly, but I didn't dare to, so we went back to the car. However dad said he didn't mind if we returned to the place again, but he wanted to bring mom along next time. Mom doesn't freak out when she goes to "haunted" places, but you should see her freak out when she sees a cat. Meow. Ok that was my freaky trip to OCH. Hmmm I think i should bring the banana gang along one day.
haha. BOO!

The Auntie at the Fruit Stall and Gao Lao Shi and Chan Mali Chan
ha. Last night just before I went to bed, I suddenly remembered three horrible people... i still hate to mention their names.1) The Auntie At The Fruit Stall.
Since I was 4 yrs old, my maid would take me down to this row of shophouses opposite my place. The second shop in the row was one that I particularly disliked- THE FRUIT STALL. they sold really nice BANANAS and MANGOES and STRAWBERRIES and KIWIS but i hated going there bcoz of the lady who tended the stall. Her face was horribly pallid and she had this look which I simply hated. The unexplainable look. Every time I went to the fruit stall the auntie would never fail to coo "GIRL!!!!". With that, she'd walk up to me, pinch my cheeks and caress me and occasionally carried me (when I was young i was underweight). I hated her like poison! I hate ppl to do this kind of disgusting stuff to me, coz it makes me feel uncomfortable. I didn't dare to tell my parents, although they knew I was afraid of the fruit stall for some strange reason. Each time my parents and I went for a walk, we had to pass by the dreaded fruit stall and I would avoid it by dashing past it as fast as possible. I think once, i dashed to the road and almost got hit by a car. thank God i didnt die. haha. I still avoid that fruit stall now bcoz that auntie still recognises my mom and dad! And when i was in pri 5 I was caught in a bad situation with her. Yuck.
2)Gao Lao Shi
This woman is horrid too. In primary one everyone knew me as "Mrs Teo's Daughter". So i became sort of famous in just one week. Famous among the teachers as well. This has its banes and boons. The bad thing was that this heck of an old woman came to RSS to do relief teaching. And duh, she soon befriended my mom, who is chao ji sociable, and duh, she came to know me. Unfortunately she thought I was cute and angelic and rather chubby, so each time we met, she'd give me a horrid smile and started pinching my cheeks and slapping my butt or clamping her wrinkly hands tight on my knobbly shoulders. BAH. Once I avoided her by dashing into the Girls Toilet. I think she saw me, but I didn't care. I'd rather she scold me than pinch my cheeks. ew. I think by now she should be almost eighty... haha.
3) Chan Mali Chan
This is the worst of the worst. She haunted half of my primary school life. My chinese was terrible in primary one, so my mom hired her to tutor me for chinese. BTW JAS DON'T TELL UR MOTHER ABOUT THIS OR I'M DEAD MEAT. She's a wizened woman in her late fifties or sixties and she looks kind of **er...** undescribable. Every time she came to my place (twice a week) she would say "GIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRLLL!!!!!!!! KAI MEN!!!!" then I would groan and grumble to myself and open the door to let her in. What makes her unpopular is that she is kind of eccentric lah. Then she always talk on the phone instead of teaching me. So I just didn't like her, and in primary five I managed to get this wonderful Taiwanese tutor who knew about 5566. haha...
Yeah I guess u can conclude that I don't like old duffs who coo and pinch my cheeks and act in an irritable manner. haha.

ta-da! my new blogskin!
Haha what do you think? hilary!! it's not that i like renfu best, it's just tat my evil pokky pok best fren used the tony one!!! aaaargh!!never mind.well that was kind of fast, i managed to change the skin in an hour. Last time i tried to change my blogskin to a Phantom of the Opera skin and it took me FOUR hours. and in the end, i didn't manage to change the skin. HOW SAD!
Today was the last day of EOIs. hip hip hooray!! =) Last night I studied for geog and maths like crazy! Maths was alright, and hopefully i'll be able to do better this time. I dragged wai ian along to look for hilary. hahaha... sorry ah hilary actually i meant to pass u a letter but i forgot to bring it to school! oops. I guess i did have some fun during recess lah.
After recess was geography. the MCQ section was kinda challenging but the structured questions were so darn easy! I was like regurgitating everything I'd memorised for plate tectonics. ended up writing answers that were up to half a page long. OH MY GAWSH. **gasps** AND after geog, we couldn't go home bcoz that old miss ha told us to stay back for maths make-up lesson. Bah. The lesson was so boring and it was on taxation. I ended up sitting with sujin who was drawing nice parrots and daydreaming once in a while. Me, my drawing sucks to the core so after drawing a dog tat looked like a rabbit, a cat tat looked like a chair and a frog which didn't look like anything at all, I drew a ridiculous imaginary creature. I kind of liked my creature, or rather, mutated being. Dunno how i thought of him. He had empty eye sockets, the back of his head looked like a torpedo and his mouth resembled that of a snakes, with fangs and blood spilling out of it. His naked body was really cool, all muscly and big. I was so amazed that i could draw his chests properly... His arms were more like large metal laser guns with three small cannons sticking out and he wore this yin yang energy belt and his legs were scaly with sharp talons. WOW. i am a little artistic when it comes to drawing weird and morbid stuff. I named that mutated guy "Man Out Of Hell". bcoz he looks very much like a muscular serpent with legs.
I waited impatiently for 518 to arrive at the bus stop. The moment i reached the bus stop, this eccentric old man bombarded me with Bible College tracks although I told him repeatedly that i was already a Christian. Then he kept on urging me to go to the bible college, telling me "grandmudder stories" and grumbling about young people... I was kind of pissed off by him bcoz he refused to leave me alone at the bus stop, and people were staring at me curiously. I felt so super embarrassed and awkward. bah, bah, bah. 518 only arrived 45 minutes later. i wonder why.
Got off at the bus stop near my place, only to find that a burly Indian man was stalking me. So I dashed as fast as I could to the lift and I heard the Indian man approaching just as the lift doors closed. PHEW!! I was so pissed by the time I arrived at my doorstep, but at least Phoebe was there to cheer me up... she kept licking my toes and jumping onto my lap. haha... funny dog.
I love this blogskin like mad! woohoo! eh but please remember to keep this blog a SECRET! i don't like many people to visit my blog one. Privacy is my policy. haha... okie I gotta go for dinner. tomolo got health screening. I weigh 52 kg now. OH NO i hope i do not go to TAF Club. That's second worst to being in GB. bah bah bah, well at least my diet was still sucessful bcoz I lost 4 kg in one and a half months! =) enjoy the blogskin and tag more okie!

EOI so shiok!
hi! dun have much to say now. I am going to change my blogskin, probably on friday or tomorrow if I have the time. Woohoo I was just surfing the blogskins webby and i came across EVIL POK CHRISTINA BANANA NG YUN LENG's TONY BLOGSKIN! I am so jealous! I wanted that blogskin leh! evil pok take away my blogskin... haha just kidding lah. rawk on, christina banana... 5566 forever!!SINCE the evil pok has taken the tony blogskin, i shall use the RENFU one! yay... I like everyone in 5566 but i especially like renfu and tony coz they have really excellent vocals (even my mom says so and she is very sua ku wif mandopop). Hah christina the renfu blogskin is almost the same as yours, except that it's got pictures of renfu instead of TONY!!! nooooooo!!!!! hahaha... honestly lah, renfu has better oratorical skills and tony has better looks. haha. i think their singing standard is really high but both are the same. see i so not impartial one!
today. sat for higher chinese summative. wah seh it was kind of easy especially the pai bi and bi yu sentences... the cloze passage was surprisingly easy, i think christina u should noe that i totally sucked at chinese cloze passages in chinese huh... aiyah it brings back fond memories... Eh christina u remember i always borrowed ur maths paper and chinese cloze passages to copy answer one... then I always refused to let u copy my english work and you were boiling mad. haha everyone should see when agogo is boiling mad. she will be chao ji angry one. Hmm picture a raging mango in ur head. quite hard to visualize, actually. :)
Took 518 home. Haiz I wanted to listen to my mp3 player but the headphones are spoilt! good thing i keep a spare pair at home but it's bright bright PINK!!! awwww i shouldn't have bought pink in the first place! regrets. I watched this chinese show on TV mobile until I fell asleep. the next thing i knew it I was slumped against the chair and my bag was toppling and i hit my head on the window pane AGAIN. owch again!! the ride was seemingly long and for the rest of the ride I watched this severely obese boy walking down the aisle, to and fro... and his body odour was so stinky that I almost fainted. so I went back to sleep again.
When I got off the bus I realised that my block looks pretty deserted at 10.30am. But there were so many kitties sleeping at the void deck and I went to disturb one. hey I'm an evil pok too! bah.
I rang the doorbell so many times and my dog was yelping and squealing in excitemetn. And my maid accidentally dropped the bunch of keys onto my dog's nose so my dog yelped some more and slunk away coz her nosie was hurting... Wah it feels so super good to be home four hours earlier than usual. no mood to study for tomorrow so I threw my bag onto the bench and surfed and surfed for 5566 blogskins. THEN I FOUND THAT EVIL POK CHRISTINA'S BLOGSKIN! argh i am going to burst! itching to play piano and study japanese liao. see ya.
watch out for my new skin! renfufufufufufufufufufu.......

genius! i got a tagboard!
school holiday!!! mom woke me up at eight! so early.... i had to drag myself out of bed, imagining that tony would be waiting for me in the bathroom... so lang bei rite?!surprise. mom, dad and I went to The Cafe Cartel for breakfast. i love that restaurant. but imagine all the calories in my heavy breakfast today... when i go to the cafe cartel i always drink hot cocoa with whipped cream and nuts. And I tried the ham and cheese omelette with a greasy hashbrown which apparently was soaked in a barrel of oil. YUCK! I am NEVER going to eat hashbrowns again. But the omellete was delicious! Coz there was mozarella cheese on it and bits of ham too... It was surprisingly filling. and I met this actor who once acted in Under One Roof. haha...
Slept all the way back home while listening to my mom talk about her childhood days and how fortunate i am now blah blah blah... When i woke up my head was pressed against my mom's little cushion and my hair was in a tangled mess. I resembled wang renfu on a really bad hair day. Btw, i haf a picture of him with really messy green hair. Renfu looked pretty demented in that pic...
Got home and watched [Shao Nian Te Gong Dui] for the umpteenth time (coz i got the recorded version) while changing into an OP dress which was far too large for me. I love 5566!!!! Renfu was chao ji funny, the rest threw an inflatable wading pool over him and throw slippers and styrofoam bikinis on him... haha... then xiezhi took renfu into the big swimming pool and put him inside the inflatable one... then it opened and closed, just like an oyster with renfu inside... Then at the ending part shaowei was eating a cockroach and he looked so nauseous and in the confusion i think xiezhi accidentally pushed down the seal mascot who was standing right behind him. And the seal mascot fell into the water... haha... Then the second time renfu AND the seal were pushed into the water and the seal mascot finally took off his mask. THAT WAS CHAO JI FUNNY!
Next my whole family (uncles aunties cousins ahma) all went to a restaurant in a country club in Changi to celebrate Mother's Day. That was CHAO JI funny too bcoz my cousins jas and chloe and I were talking about our ex-tutor, mr yeo... well we call him YOGI coz he looks as ugly as yogi bear. Yogi used to teach me math until I gave him the sack last year. He is super weird! He has a paunch, a coarse stubble and moustache, one eye which is larger than the other and a really LOW BELT. hmm hmm potential rgsian? His mannerisms are eccentric but hilarious and I used to steal his pens and pencils every lesson. haha... coz he is a blur king. And once, he talked to me about g-strings and expensive arnold palmer underwear which made me dash to the kitchen and collapse into fits of laughter. haha.... but my maths was REALLY bad then. the lunch was fairly good and after some photo taking my dad fetched my relatives home in his private bus. wow i love my dad's mercedes vito bus, it is just so COOL! woohoo and it is a great place to crawl about coz there are like eight seats... so i'd crawl around under the chairs and mom would think that i'd gone mad.
I just realised something.
ZAX WANG RENFU'S BORN IN THE YEAR OF THE MONKEY! woohoo the same year as me! Moreover both of our bdays are in August (8 days apart, to be exact) and he is as crazy as me!!! haha... zax wang rulez! but i still like xiezhi best of all.
btw i got a new tagboard! please tag and dun tell anyone about my blog okie?
TONY SUN XIE ZHI RULESSSS!!!!!!!!
